You're being intentionally obtuse, you know what they meant when they wrote that and you're pretending not to.
i was being charitable, not obtuse. a great number of my closest friends are trans; no element of their experience as i observe it fetishizes the very concept of transition, and those who've spoken to me about it are quite opposed to the "pornification" (as opposed to even sexualization) of trans people (particularly women) by the community itself, and others. if you're at all curious, i thought [0] was pretty inform…

#253A famous quote by Winston Churchill’s mother on meeting Gladstone and Disraeli is, “When I left the dining room after sitting next to Mr. Gladstone, I thought he was the cleverest man in England. But after sitting next to Mr. Disraeli, I thought I was the cleverest woman in England.” How people make us feel is so important — not only in Leadership but also in life.
The ability to be genuinely interested in what someone else has to say and what their opinions are is a real gift.
a gift? isn't that the result of all your past efforts?
i mean, if you want it, then do it. if not, then there's nothing to be sad about.
IOW,
"I am I, and you are you. I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. If by chance we meet, it's beautiful. If not, it can't be helped." — Fritz Perls (1893–1970), 'The Gestalt Prayer' (rephrased)

#254When did this writing with no capitalization start to become a thing? I'm seeing it too often now. It's pretentious crap and quickly leads to me thinking that the writer doesn't want to be taken seriously, so why read it?
pretty sure i saw people doing it back in the eighties on local dialup bbs's why do you think it's "pretentious" to be too exhausted to bother hitting the shift key
It may not be pretentious, but pretending that an extra 1-2 keystrokes per sentence is "exhausting" is pretty sad.

lol. That quote is like a blatant copy of the Al-Kafirun chapter of the Quran.
Say: Oh you who turn away. I do not worship what you worship, nor do you worship what I worship. And I will not worship what you worship, Nor will you worship what I worship. Your way is yours, and my way is mine.

You're going to look silly in 8000 years!
Why would they look silly? We don't refer to the year 700 as 0700. Tt'll be perfectly natural in 8000 years to see "10025" for the year.
But it will be very marginally more challenging to correctly sort string representations of years!
Re: I'm just having fun
#258I'm asking this question purely out of curiosity, and not as a snark, is there any particular reason why you don't capitalise the beginnings of your sentences? It seems strange to go to the effort of capitalising STEM and putting a hyphen in college-level without capitalising the letters. Is it something like the push towards sans-serif fonts because some groups of people find it easier to read?
Gen Z linguistic phenomenon. It's to signify a more authentic or calmer, more personable style rather than an overly literary one. It's kind of nice actually, like talking to a friend about their thoughts. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/feb/18/death-of-cap...
I'm an elder millennial, and this was a thing on AIM in 2001, and certainly before then in poetry and avant-garde literature.

#259I don't know what I expected from a blog written entirely in lowercase but I'm unsurprised it's something like this. > if i can't feminize my compiler, what's the point? I remember when people saying things like this would be considered strange, because it is strange, along with all the other bizarre and often fetishistic references in both the blog body and various screenshots. Same for the bizarre pull request scre…
I am sorry that you consider queer hackers having fun to be strange.

"feminizing" doesn't refer to a sexual fetish, it just means making something more feminine. Do you assume that something being feminine is automatically sexualized and fetishistic?
I knew you were going to say this. "Feminizing" doesn't inherently refer to a sexual fetish but context matters. I invite you to examine the article more in depth, look at the chatroom conversations and then come to your own conclusion.
tbh i think you just hate trans people but you're afraid to say it directly
