Valid. I remember being very frustrated with ggplot’s documentation, only to realize they HARD CODED a plot parameter that could not be accessed. Matplotlib + Seaborn works fantastic, and I can do whatever I want without being babied by ggplot

It would be really funny if silksong dropped haha team cherry please it would be so hilarious

Dude no way I just saw the templars using the apple of eden the other day

Does blood agar taste like blood?

Read myth of sisyphus BEFORE the stranger please. But yea camus is great

While all this is going on, I’d also like to point out that grants are being flagged for being “woke” by this anti-DEI nonsense. Grants that have to do with cancer, physics, eclipses, and so on.

DEI is just a dogwhistle.

Love QAA! Will have me cackling out loud at times

It just took a month to connect to his own brain.

Uhh disagree with RDR2. There was an issue where I couldn’t see the game very well due to tears in my eyes. They really have to patch that out.

Remember outer WILDS, which is distinct from outer WORLDS.

It’s either singlish or manglish, English dialects found exclusively in Singapore/Malaysia. You can read that as “where tf”

Hey there! Don’t take this the wrong way, but it’s spelled gruesome. It’s hard to learn the spelling of a word you heard, or the pronunciation of a word you read. No judgement and I hope this was meaningful to you.

Ngl seeing nasi goreng threw me for a loop

Honestly I would consider BFS/DFS artificial intelligence (and I think most introductory AI courses agree). But yea it’s a definition game and I don’t think most people qualify intelligence as purely human-centric. Simple tasks like pattern recognition already count as a facet of intelligence.

He was a bit busy trying to not form an opinion about people who are smelly and don’t take care of themselves (yes, an actual line from Meditations)

Ideally? Have public transport that runs to these national parks. Japan has train stations that bring you right up to the foot of a mountain – I’m almost very certain that one train station requires less space than a carpark (thinking in terms of capacity here). Of course this requires a massive revamp in infrastructure, but one can wish. There are also some buses that feed into these parks, which is fantastic, give me more! As a tourist, I’ll gladly give these buses more money than whatever car rental company I have to use.

P. S. I think the immediate short-circuiting to “guess we won’t have forests” is kinda worrying.

To be fair, the national parks are really beautiful. But you need a car to even reach these parks, then drive into a massive parking lot – really depressing.

Boggles my mind when people claim that using mechanic present in the game is not playing the game “as intended”.

Who do you think put the feature there? The pesky magical game dev that spawns at 2 am to code in a mimic tear?

Hmm I’m gonna reply to this against my better judgement.

I think you’re absolutely right that inclusivity is important. You’re still skirting around two issues:

1. Queer is plenty inclusive (see my original comment). Is queer insufficient? I would love to know as well, as a queer person.
2. Being antagonistic might allow you to express your thoughts, sure. But I doubt it will allow the other person to internalise anything meaningfully.

You’re also right that it’s no one’s job to police how you use terminology. I think the rest here are taking issue with how you are communicating this (and ironically enough, policing others on terminology).

Either way, I think it might be worth examining why the response to someone’s ignorance felt so visceral and rage-fuelled. Not saying it’s a bad thing, we could all use more inclusivity in our lives! But hopefully we could take a step back and ask ourselves why do we react a certain way? It’s a good exercise to understand ourselves a bit better.

Have a nice day, yea. And have an upvote too! Sick of the downvotes in this thread.

I’m a queer person in a same sex relationship for the longest time. Honestly even hearing the term LGBT (without the plus, without anything else) makes me kinda happy. Granted I’m in a place where acceptance is barely normalised.

I’m not even aware of the longer variants myself; I personally just use “queer” in describing myself (see above) and my friends. Even the aces I know seem to just call themselves queer and don’t really seem bothered by the lack of explicit asexual inclusion in LGBT or LGBT+ or LGBTQ+.

I don’t think we should get really stuck on terminology, to the point where we get into arguments with strangers online. I believe labels are important for helping us understand ourselves, but only to a certain point. Either way, queerness to me is quite all-encompassing, so representation here is not an issue? Maybe you could educate me on this.

The flipside being: I am aware that I would like to be more specific in describing myself to people, but it’s difficult to explain bisexuality to others (even queer folk!). I use queer as a shortcut. I don’t really fault them for not knowing the ins and outs of my sexuality though. I’m just queer at first glance. Wanna know more? Fantastic. Lemme tell you about the bicycle.

I get it’s upsetting to kinda “dilute” who we are at times. But being antagonistic about it isn’t really effective in educating, imo. These people are trying. Let them try, fuck up a little, and then gently nudge them in the correct direction.
