I think I’m enby now, but I always just thought I was weird, and people certainly told me so a lot. To be fair, I’ve always been pretty contradictory and would seek to enjoy things that others disliked or couldn’t understand. A lot of unusual fashion and music.

At some point as an adult and through a confluence of elements of my life, I opened the “gender is a social construct” box and I realized that in my mind I haven’t been passing as a man for a while, and I don’t really need to try. I can just be myself. Still a lot of unusual tastes, but they’re mine.

Still pronounced “Senner Siddee”. The T is silent, so you can really put it anywhere.

I just recently watched The Matrix Resurrections, and it’s renewed my interest in the Wachowskis. There was a lot that reminded me of Sense8, and I’ve been considering a rewatch, but maybe I’ll check this out.

Is this from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure?

Pigeons are beautiful and I love them and wish we had more of them. My neighbor exclusively feeds invasive house sparrows and throws shit at the pigeons when they try for her food because she’s religious and “His eye is in the sparrow”. I hate her so much.

Legumes, actually.

They also both had sons named George.

Well not entirely different. They’re both named George.

It is actually true, just the portrait they’ve chosen for the article is highly stylized and didn’t really look like him.

We must all come together or we will all come separately.

Wrong kind of therapist or wrong kind of physical?

Why is it wholesome? Don’t say because it’s a turnip.

WTH am I seeing?

Hot sake poured by a cute twink in a kimono and idk some grindcore or some bossa nova. I’ve never been to a gay bar, but I think I’d go to that one.

No, this is Patrick.

Some of this is probably just getting to know your tools. Learn the language, look at others’ code and interrogate what they did and why. The higher-order functions (scary-sounding term, but they’re not actually scary) you mentioned are useful, go learn them and use them.

Some of it might also be (I haven’t seen your code) getting a better understanding of the problem you’re trying to solve. Figure out what all the separate pieces you need are, and then break those pieces into their pieces and so on, until you’ve got simple, self-contained chunks of functionality that you can give simple names to. Some of those might be functions, or you may find that they’re simple enough that they don’t need to be. Refactor and think about how to make the problem simpler. I think a lot of it is just staring at your work and dreaming of ways the make it simpler and easier to read.

If you really want to optimize for performance, that can come later once you really have a feel for it.

Dude Dipes

I remember when the license said that supporters of Israel couldn’t use it. I’m guessing it doesn’t say that anymore.

I don’t think that’s how phantom limbs work.

What’s the difference between a bonehead, a fathead, and a skinhead?
