  • SNES was the ultimate From childhood until the release of Nintendo 64
  • In high school it was a PC with a mouse and keyboard.
  • Now it's a PC with an xbox controller. Using a mouse and keyboard reminds me too much of work.

There is a PS5, a Switch, and a Steamdeck, in the house plus several more devices in the garage. I'll watch other people play but gaming on dedicated hardware just doesn't grab me. I've never tried gaming on a phone.

I don't want to change my body and I'm comfortable being a man. I'm intensely curious about another life but I'm happy with my own. If I could start over in a new body and could choose to be a cis woman I would.

What is this in rebuttal to? I don't see any claim of being open source on https://grayjay.app/.

I love this comic. I'm extremely curious about the experiences of attractive women. So curious I sometimes think I wish I were a woman. Sometimes I feel jealous of all the validation they get. However the more I learn about their lives the more glad I am to be an attractive man.

The majority (>80%) of people who have an Internet connection.

I asked myself this often. I think it's absentmindedness but I still find myself annoyed. Wear it or don't but halfway just gets to me.

spinal fluid as a base for perfumes

I can't find any evidence of that. Are you perhaps thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris made from stones in the whale digestive system?

The other benefit of having a proper emergency fund is being able to say no to your boss without any fear. It took me 10 years but I have enough accessible funds to go a year easily without any new income. The freedom at work is so nice. I've noticed that my confidence at not needing the job makes them take me way more seriously and offer all kinds of benefits they don't afford everyone.

This resonates with me. I love all the packages but yes the gigabytes downloaded to build something and the sheer time taken is not fun at all. Syntax is ugly IMO as well. It's still my go to for strongly and statically typed languages in spite of everything though. Maybe you're right about the hype train hitting me. :)

I'm cis but I'm skinny enough this was super helpful for me regardless of my GAAB. Thanks.

I bet they meant "male-bodied non-binary person."

What you call hype I call a strong and growing ecosystem. ;)

Honestly it's been fun chatting with you. I think we are sort of opposites. You seem to like hobby languages. I like well used languages. You are tired of hearing about what's popular. I'm excited about other programmers being excited.

I am curious what turned you off when you were actually using Rust. Or did you mostly lose interest because other people endorse it?
