    Alcohol disinhibits us, but I don’t think it reveals our true selves. Our inhibitions are an important and truthful part of who we are. There’s a real and important difference between someone who hits on women all the time and one who only ever tries it when he’s had a glass or two.




  • What’s the point of rehosting to a corporation who geoblock immediately and delete later? You may as well link to the original image.

    Better, right click, save image to downloads, click the image button in Lemmy, select the most recently downloaded thing, press OK. Optionally clear download(s). It’s no big deal. Now your image is federated. Everyone wins.

    I like the term aesthetic attraction. That’s useful.

    There are plenty of women I find aesthetically attractive, and some that I find attractive in the hormone surge kind of way, but only rarely do they hold appeal for me as a potential partner, and personality plays a massive role there.

    I can tell that some men are aesthetically handsome, but without the hormone rush.

    Elm is the loveliest and easiest to maintain long-term language I have ever used, by far. People don’t know what easy to maintain really means unless they’ve come back to an elm project that’s years old that they’ve not touched in a long while. Adding new stuff or changing old stuff is a breeze.

    And it’s bulletproof. You simply don’t get runtime errors. (Well, about a millionth as many according to one firm.) We’ve never seen one in production at my company, we only get any when we put them in with a debug trace, which elm only lets you compile in dev mode.

    Elm compiles to javascript so started life as a front end only language, but you can use platform workers on the backend, but now there’s

    elm-pages which is a thorough look at elm on the backend, complete with backend tasks and data sources.

    (Honorable mention to elm-land which is to elm as next.js is to react. elm-pages started off as a solution in a similar space to elm-land, but has evolved into an elm-on-the-backend solution.)

    The most paradigm busting and comprehensive solution to full stack elm is lamdera which is elm all the way and handles front end, back end and communication between them. Imagine your compiler automatically handled frontend/backend communication including encoding, transport & decoding, but also live version migrations of anything and everything, deployment, data encoding and persistence on the backend and even hosting, all very very robustly and reliably.




  • My friend was a complete mess of a man. Really together as a woman. It’s a vast improvement looks wise, like tenfold.

    However, she’s absolutely devastated by the UK Supreme Court’s dehumanising ruling retrospectively nullifying the protections trans people had in the equality act. She’s had some pretty awful treatment from some people you would have hoped would be kind and supportive.

    It’s not an easy path at all and some people are going to be about as shitty as it’s possible to be if you choose it, but I need you to know that in any case, you matter and you’re a human being and a wonder. Don’t put yourself down just because some hater did. Don’t buy their lie. You’re so much more than that.

    Reject hate, choose caring. Go out and be kind in the world. Find kind people and stick with them. Whatever happens you’re going to need caring friends, so take the lead and be caring and kind first.

    But know this: I’m telling you again because it’s important. You matter. You are an awesome human being, even when you don’t feel like you are.
