Well the good news is that “they” is no gender identity I’ve ever heard of. It’s the third-person pronoun to be used when gender either doesn’t matter or is unknown. For example, “I got an email from a new client, I wonder what they want?”

Anyway, I guess what I’m saying is that pronouns themselves aren’t genders. You should list whichever pronouns you’re comfortable being used for yourself, and the presence or absence of them from your profile says nothing about your personal beliefs.

Hey, I just want to say that I have a similarly tragic backstory, and I see you. It’s never easy, but it does get easier.

If you really don’t care about pronouns but want to signal that you realize they’re important to people, why not try he/they on for size? People will probably default to “he” which you’re accustomed to, but if someone uses “they” would you really notice?

Well as long as Bill says it’s cool, I guess I don’t have to form my own opinion

I used to have really bad chicken-scratch printing and I wanted to improve.

The exercise that really stuck out for me was to find a font I liked in a book on calligraphy and started practicing the alphabet.

Before I started practicing, I didn’t pay much attention to how I was forming a letter, I’d just draw it - and it would look messy. Once you start looking at each letter as a discrete number of strokes you start paying attention to the small parts and the whole looks much better.

If you’re really lucky, you’ll find a guide with arrows showing which way to draw each stroke. Super helpful. Note that this font uses a fountain pen, so it’ll look different with a standard ballpoint:

In this economy!?

If you don’t know what specific shows you want to watch, you could try going to the streaming services’ website. Hidden away at the bottom of the page will probably be an About or FAQ that might let you take a peek at some titles.

I think by design the only way to see the full catalogue is to subscribe. Lots of them have free trials, but it’s still a pretty lame way to do business.

Well of course, it’s an unwritten rule

Let me know if you do, it could be a great teaching tool.

RegEx is a bastard that is unfortunately very useful.

Thanks for playing!

The plot thickens

Okay, say you’ve got four inner loops (a crime on its own, I know), do you use i, j, k, l or i, j, k, ii?

I always hear people talking about how beef is so cheap and I wonder how that could be when it costs twice as much as pork in my grocery store. I never thought about subsidies in other countries.

Ooh, I didn’t know you could edit videos in Blender. I’ve been looking to learn how to do editing and Blender’s already a little familiar. Thanks!

I’ve been transported to a strange world and my special skill is AMORTIZATION

@ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world I completely agree with this take. You don’t need to get the secret ending or unlock everything or anything like that, but the sequel builds on mechanics from the first one. You can do more stuff in the second game, and I’d also say that it’s a bit more difficult too.

IMO I prefer the basic ending to the true ending of Hotline Miami 1.

You could just call this “Programmer programming” and save some screen real estate.

Something something DRY practices

You’ll probably enjoy this

I love Jacket and had no idea about this! Thanks for the easter egg!

“Divisive” might not have been the right word here. I just meant that it can add to the confusion :)

The factory must grow!
