but chips are chips
@proper dune :D it is the british way
chips
Yes
Meh
we do call pringles crisps
They are "THIN SNACK CHIP POTATO PORTION SALT SNACK"
According to the official name
Look on fucking quavers
"CURLY POTATO CHIP SNACK"
chanting CHIP CHIP CHIP CHIP
digestive sounds terrible
You savages
they look like tiny fried baguettes
lol
agreed x3, checks out to aussies
its silly to me that the rest of the world doesnt have fairy bread
or frozen coke
Frozen coke?
"Dad, why did you put my sherbert in the freezer again?!"
Slushes are a thing here
Not cola flavoured though
apparently the rest of the world has spiders but they dont call them spiders
never heard of it
And put butter on them
Oh boi,its my bday today
ayyyy happy birth, fam
happy bday ๐
Finally finished after almost three weeks...Stellaris is a time Black hole
I feel like a spider now..
That's a interesting feeling there mate
import import
Appriciate the pride month logo ๐ ๐
It's a good looking logo too, really stands out in my server list
@lilac glade designed it
yeah it looks great. :)
๐ no ๐ blurple ๐
Hi yes good morning
Hello hello
you should've got that alexa microwave, bisk
it's not MY microwave
It is now
Hey man, you're welcome
if you're not selecting a menu item
all the microwaves i've used have just had a button that you press it and it goes
what? i've used cheap microwaves
but they all have a button that's like "START"
and it adds 30 seconds
and starts
no it's pretty normal
so you can just mash the start button when you want food go heat heat
you only cook in 30s increments?
yes, hence increments
oh yeah, my bad
:P
yeah, pretty much
if something's gonna be in there for a while an extra or unextra 15 seconds isn't gonna kill it
unextra
and if it's a sensitive food item i'll just eye ball it and stop it
yeah i forgot the word
it's "15 seconds less or more"
nah, i'm happy with unextra
a deficit of
nope, unextra
you know how there are optional extras on stuff?
when they DON'T have that it's an unextra
"this car comes with airconditioning as an unextra"
wait.. I was gonna post this when you guys came on
someone left cos of the logo change LMAO
Lets be honest, nobody would hut that
You couldn't resist defiling even a programming server with this political bullshit, could you```LMAO
I mean that was kind of my original concern when I first heard about it
but I trust the staff to not let it become a political thing
I think taylor swift should've stuck with country music
I can do without her bitching about relationships in any form tbh
guess you wont be listening to any taytay then
where do you come up with the channel names for ot0/ot1/ot2
always wondered
well you see, there was this rhino..
"stupid rhino eating my stupid car!"
what? taytay is slang for taylor swift tron
oh.. I thought you meant the brat who uses cuss words cuz her mom taught her that to get famous..
speaking of which.. do you remember Soph Aspin and Little T lol
@spare elk some were suggested by users, some refer to community events or memes, some were just made up. we're always adding more.
most of them are just added because something fun happens and we wanna sort of immortalize it.
except for that one time with the rhino..
they're always selected randomly from a list, so the same one might crop up multiple times.
Dude what's with your name
whomst
traps > actual girls
3 guesses
Ill take 2 with extra dip
How am I the only one who noticed this
you aren't
I would ping a mod but the owner was chatting it up with him sooo I dunno
IDK if its actually against the rules
i just block and move on, i'd rather not make a scene out of it
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
exactly, it's just not worth the argument
How dare you
very carefully
!warn @spare elk The name traps > actual girls isn't suitable for this server, please pick something more appropriate.
:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: warned @spare elk (The name traps > actual girls isn't suitable for this server, please pick something more appropriate.).
@shell blade The nickname was changed after the discussion
thanks ๐
@devout current hi, I just joined the jetbrains discord to check it out and saw you getting referred to here... welcome ๐
@crisp sierra nice :), if you know any other great channels, please let me know
jetbrains has a discord whatttt
It's unofficial, but it exists
well thats neato how long has that been around for
@lone otter WTF HOW DO YOU KNOW NIM
?
@lone otter you are a really mean cupcake u know that
cupcake aperture
JetBrains discord has been a while, it's community run but the JB staff know about it
But when I was there, it was quiet, there wasn't much discussion, and the staff didn't really know what they were doing
Maybe it's better now, I dunno
If anyone cares
Ah, the Totugal vs. Livery match.
i like jeto brainz
I remember when I got into recruiting. I called the man who would eventually hire me almost every day for six months.
wot
what is that owez?
@sand goblet i joined the server why not maybe if i have a issue someone can help me there
Well yeah, why not, right?
it does surprise me they have jet brains staff though
oh, ok i guess its not surprising after all.
Have you ever had a complicated problem, and then realized it's not complicated at all and you're just an idiot?
Just had that
all the time..
i'm 99% sure there are no complicated problems in computer science
eventually everything can be solved with graphs and trees
yeah like everyday, and not even in just programming just in life sometimes lol
literally every data structure i've ever written was either a tree, a graph, or would've been simpler with trees and graphs
because the branches and leaves
(or "nodes" or whatever you'd call them)
(but you don't get nodes on a tree)
you get leaves on treee (seems like i forgot to write a whole sentence there lol)
are leaves nodes now?
leaves are nodes with no children
Ohhh tree diagrams
all hail the great and mighty DAG
omg my life is a leaf
mood
everything you do is a leaf
the other day i had to put a tree data structure into a single string which was fun
every node had a header with information about the offsets of children
@tulip palm owee
also i made a liquid rescale for my image bot
wow your old(im jk of course)
sorry, it's 3am and i'm like 4
i love it
i dont get it

i could just do that in ps
yeah you could do that in photoshop
with like one filter
you could do all of the programs you've ever made on a pen and paper but it's easier to do it automatically :D
mmmm
Bit by bit, literally
no juan sorry love ya but that is not accurate or equivalent
fantastic
Lemme just run my server using my origami paper skills
i also reimplemented TCP over UDP last week by accident
i started off with UDP thinkingg wow this is going to be fast but then I had to add checks to make sure payloads were received and before you know it ACK and SEQ had snuck their way in there
I totally understood all of that
isn't SPDY the HTTP one?
Ah I think QUIC is the transport layer one
you lost me after udp
i think spdy evolved into http/2
HTTP is finally a binary protocol
What this about? I'm lossed
no it is fantastic
HTTP/2 has thiis thing called server push
and it means that when you load a webpage the connection does not end
networking hard, no like binary
you still have the HTTP connection open
http 1.1 can do that already though, right?
Ah ok
so when you need a new resource, you send a request over the same connection
no i typed that before you said "so when you need a new resource, you send a request over the same connection"
everything comes back in one payload
binary formats are faster
It was, but there is no need for it to be anymore
binary allows for more flexibility
while keeping payloads smaller
i dunno, just seems a bit needlessly complex to me
but i know jack shit about networkign or http
we've phased out text base protocols because after all it isn't the human that sends the payload
protocols should be optimised for ease of understanding to the machine
the machine can put payloads into a human readable format
I quite like that though
you put your data in the top, you move it down and encapsulate it
no we always read top down
at the other end your payload comes in the bottom and as we go up we remove frames andd headers
I had my computer science exam the other week and everyone had revised for the OSI model
but no, the exam board would rather ask us "Explain the benefits to the environment when someone sells their game online vs hard copies"
i like pycharm & vsc
DID SOMEONE SAY EMACS?
henlo fisk :^)
:)
emacs is at least useable. vim...bleh. ๐
they both seem old
I use emacs with vim keybinds
how evil of you
you should learn them
why?
unless i don't use bash 
well, they're probably also the keybindings in your shell of choice
zsh zsh zsh zsh zsh
do most devs use vims or emacs?
from surveys i've seen, i think most people use vim
yeah
if you over 60
lol
so how about under 60
I'm under 60 and use vim
still vim
creamy use w/e makes you happy and productive
VScode for me
yeah try it all
with micro for terminal
you can install as many editors as you please
and once you try them all, use emacs
hah
Good joke
stackoverflow had editors in their last survey
Did they
25% of all respondents were vim and 40% of sysadmins were vim lol
the only editors ive really used properly are sublime text, notepad++ and notepad
are vim/emacs better than these?
well notepad yes
sysadmins makes sense. i mean all that headless work...
ah 2019
yeah ms put a lot of work ito vscode
Payed off
I don't think anyone can say which editor is best
ed obvoiusly
I prefer vim and emacs because of how hackable they are, but I know it is possible to edit other editors as well
oh maaaan ed
Generally for short-term, non-specialized it is vscode or atom
pycharm
haha
is the best
I learnt ed over a week
pycharm falls in the IDE category
co-workers laughed at me until I started being an absolute chad
bashing in my ed commands
i use pycharm for python anything else i use vscode
i use atom mostly. i have vscode on one machine, but still haven't even used it.
yea that's a serious power play
and i only use pycharm because of the pro integrations into django and flask etc
For python it is pycharm or vscode
I feel like atom/vsc is like a c/c++ sort of deal
It comes implyed
i still use the terminal for git lol not pycharms buit in stuff
Yet are different
i commit in atom. everything else in terminal.
Huh rollover beethoven is made by both elo and the beatles
if i wasn't use pycharm pro i would just be using vscode imo
since vs code came out with all the add ons and stuff for it, it is actually quite nice
but the pro django intergration is amazing
but i also think intelli j has seen vs code step up and will combat this too
hey look at that still got it
beautiful
only got the ominous ? twice there
I don't get it what is this
it's ed
it's kind of hard to explain actually
a link to something?
ed is the standard text editor
ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files. red is a restricted ed: it can only edit ...
yeah
there's a great video on computerphile i think that covers ed beautifully
oh yeah im subbed to them will check it out'
ed is pretty hard to understand at first but it can be quite useful sometimes
i think this is the video that covers ed https://youtu.be/NTfOnGZUZDk
@shell blade
Commonly used grep was written overnight, but why and how did it get its name? Professor Brian Kernighan explains. EXTRA BITS: https://youtu.be/bSaBe6WiC2s I...
grep is awesome too, so definitely worth the whole watch
oh regex yayy /s
ah grep
good ol' grep
i am going to be honest i have seen this video floating around on my main feed and purposely avoided until now
i am but not happily

It's pretty great
yep mountain mikes pizza is decent
nothingg
it is called ed
ed editor might get you some better results
or unix ed
uhh that worked better lol
did you watch the video madi?
i tried ed programming i all i got was what i said before and extreme programming whatever the fuck that is
yes i did it was pretty cool
:)
i am going to watch again tomorrow i had 3 ciders so i probably didn't suck it all in as i normally would but i did enjoy it
lol
til everything is pattern matching no escape
which is probably the most human thing ever
when he was talking about writing code on paper i was thinking that was probs fortran
also i would def hang out with him and jus have a beer and talk computer stuff lol
seems super chill
oh ffs ok not learning how to write in this crap gl @bleak lintel
but yeah i get it now
That's what I'm drinking right now lol
Well, a quality Pilsner
Coors and it's ilk tho are definitely gross
if im drinking gib me liquor
im drinking craft and cider cycling between the two lol
Only have 1 bottle of cider left, saving it
Really need to get more, unfortunately Costco stopped stocking Angry Orchard a while back
ooof
im never going to like the taste of alcohol
the bitterness
i dont like bitter or sour
try a cosmo?
what is the ibu
What about sweet
i like sweet
just so you know sugary drinks give you the worst hangovers
Oh god yeah
i dont think i even gotten drunk
i dont wanna kms
i have alcohol flush reaction
alcohol flush? isn't that just reddish cheeks..
so soft
?
Nice
incredibly soft
that looks excellent

only 6498 characters lmao
hi
hi
I notifced now my fan is not running
how can i check if there is something going on?
plz ,I am afraid
I wanna make sure of its status as i am not sure if it is not working as i feel someheet next to it
heat*
@full matrix Let's think about this logically.
If your fans actually were not running...your computer would be dead very, very quickly.
But, considering you have asked for help over the past 2 hrs...
that's not entirely true, modern CPU's are actually very good at throttling themselves to reduce heat
I think your perfectly fine, they are likely just quiet
i ran an E6300 at stock speeds with no fan, just a heatsink, for like a month before replacing it
yeah probably
i mean some computers, if the CPU is cool enough, wont even spin up the fans beyond like an idle speed
which is dead near silent
i had my e6300 overclocked to 3.2ghz at one point when the fan died
i didn't notice the fan had died but i noticed a massive reduction in performance and was like "huh, i'll just take a look at my h/w monito- OH MY GOD" yanks power cable
over 100c
:D
how exciting
i think it hit about 115 - 120
i think you could do it
you'll need to create a heat transfer block
and attach it to a small frying pan
i mean people have done it before using a piece of tinfoil so
hah
coins as heat transfer is smart
high copper content
why do people do custom loop in 2019
@rain spindle XD u still remember my question !
I've used some pennies as a heatsink before. They conduct heat well, but they don't facilitate convection very well because of their compact surface area. This is to say that they are able to take some heat off of the chip, but they can't put it into the air so they just get hot.
Also because they are electrically conductive you can short your circuits really effectively too. Had to RMA a GPU because of a careless tap.
@dire lotus I just don't want make my team spend time improving their skills while depending on a tool that will end up costing them
Sublime
Ah, understandable. Yeah, better safe than sorry. Especially when there's other free software with same capability out there (Atom, VS Code, etc)
I don't understand how atom is still a thing
Why?
Well, isn't vscode like just a better open source version of atom?
Yep, pretty much
I don't user any of them though. I didn't like how I had to wait 5+ seconds for everything to fully load, when Sublime could be loaded in like half a second.
Ooo but the atom website theme
It looks brilliant
Sublime is very slow with a few plugins I find
Huh, haven't encountered that yet.
Might just be cause I'm on windows
So am I
You use the free version? Because if so, remember to close the popup when it shows up... If it runs in the background Sublime is really slow.
For some weird reason
could you show me where?
search exists for a reason
?
@sand goblet What is the order of things for holidays
Just celebrate what matters to you
No for the bot :P
the bot can celebrate multiple things lmao
why does something need to take precedent?
In june we have pride month and owens cool month
What is the order
For icon change
we'd most likely go for half the month for one and half for the other
but no such circumstance has yet cropped up
๐
that's also a thing yeah lol
learning c?
Yeah
awesome job man. it took me forever to understand pointers. if you need help, let me know
Yeah
Great project to understand pointers is creating a linked list ๐
Also a great project to understand why OOP is nice
Tutorial demonstrates that soon
C is good
You could contribute to netdata
Real-time performance monitoring, done right! https://my-netdata.io/ - netdata/netdata
I am at dynamic allocation
I want to learn it for extending python
And just good knowlage for later on
(And the obvious linux kernel if I learn it a lot)
But it's more of a jumping-off point for me with system development
Honestly the python C API is horrible
wtf is happening, some google services are down, uber, shopify, bit.ly and many others
strike fear into the hearts of the children of google?
rip
@cosmic quiver Why do you call it terrible? I think it's pretty good
What exactly are codejams?
I thought they were some kind of competitions where you had to make a game or something
A coding competition where you make something with a few others in a set amount of time.
Game jams are a popular thing aswell yeah.
There's info on it in #announcements
Yeah, but I thought they were located somewhere specific?
nope
No, you use the magic of the internet.
I have no idea really, I just watched a game jam video a while ago
Anyways, thank you lol
opinions on this? https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bvxvrv/introducing_the_odin_programming_language/
supposed to be somewhere between rust and c
rust is special because of his borrow checker and other features allowing high security guarantees at compile time so this is definitely not somewhere close to rust
I'm getting go vibes
yes definitely
rust is a man
well actually i think ferris is a girl crab so maybe a girl
idk
does ferris look like a he or a she
Lisa
what
It doesn't
You are called Lisa?
Sinosibs
there is also unsafe ferris
Hello I am mawge Sinosib
That's a hedgehog
Yep
at least a sea โโurchin
fuck school until septemeber lol
for the code jam qualifier, i'm wondering what should happen for generate_password(password_length=1, has_symbols=True, has_uppercase=True)
we'll need an uppercase symbol
and what if has_uppercase=True and ignored_chars is the set of all uppercase chars 
String has an all uppercase constant iirc
I guess an impossible condition warrants an error?
mm
Less than 100,000 nope that's not enough /s
100k what
Why the rainbow in the server icon? It just stopped raining or what?
It's definitely a thing
Pride flag
Nah, there's a separate one as well
you're saying that the panel on the right should show staff even if they are offline?
I kinda agree discord should have a "server staff" panel feature
kind of defeats the point of hoisting though
it's good to quickly find an online staff member
it's not so important to find an offline one
I disagree
sometimes I join a server and it would be good to know who all the staff are
๐ค
๐ค
๐
hoisting is how high a name is
@wet steppe I think a way to get all the members akin to the option staff have to get all members would be nice
hmm yeah
That came up before here as well, yeah
I think we should consider listing the owners and admins at least, but I would need to discuss it
I'm always online anyway
I wish discord had a button for it in the GUI
Discord doesn't have such an option, but we could easily add it somewhere
lemon, always watching

I've definitely seen it before
Not from the team, but with the online status, yeah
its less of an issue here cos you have many staff
some servers I join and no staff are online
and I spend several days not even knowing who the staff are ๐
I sometimes switch to hidden when I should be focusing on something else, yeah
our admins are asked not to set themselves to invisible unless they're truly unavailable.
being online means that you also receive DMs and mentions
^^
That's the biggest drawback.
But if the admins are asked what lemon says already ... maybe it's a idea
What about seperate accounts for admin work?
It's like you use discord just for pydis.
not like*
If all the admins are like that, fair enough
Discord isn't good at multiaccounting
Ok.
I never did it
it's a huge time investment to be an admin on a server this big, so other communities tend to miss you when you join the admin team here.
Nah it's not against ToS
whats multiaccounting
having multiple accounts?
that's not a very good name.. dont we call this alting in games
I guess so
there's so many lemons here.. always watching...
o.o
Nuitka it and see if its faster
lol
Pull a @tired osprey And run hook it up to a rust cpython backend
ah
Yes pyo3 is decent
And I would actually do that if that wasn't the week where I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed
Ouch
OK sharp
go
I guess now people arenโt ever "away"
someone mowed the shape of a penis into a field beneath the flight path to stansted airport
ยฌ_ยฌ
about the maturity I'd expect from the UK :P
what have you got against willies?
nothing, it's just the kind of compensation I'd expect
got to love a good willy
hypocrite
I remember you sang a different tune when I uploaded thousands of willies to your website
except some of them
aw snap, the queen is having dinner with trump
philip isn't even dead yet
fun fact.. romans used to draw them on cave walls..
vikings too..
it's the most common form of art that connects all cultures :v
boobies and penises
skรกl ! ๐บ
Hmmmm, next convo lol
the old graffiti in castles and stuff is pretty cool
like they actually went out with a hammer and chisel to write "steve woz ere" in nice lettering
Proof that there have always been people who are jerks
Ten thousend cheek bones of the most handsome slaves went into chizeling this art
yes being a asshole is a tale as old as time
๐ถ Beauty and the douche ๐ถ
Feedback on logo?:
Ok. I'd say maybe make it look slightly thicker
And idk.... the idea is good. but the "balance" seems off?
Maybe move them further apart in the y axis?
Yeah
Problem is I don't really have any control over the arrows
"Client" (friend) wants them like that
I'll see if I can move
@kind cedar Would be nicer if that had the gradient in the triangle aswell
Anyway, got a better gradient and retraced the arrows to make them thicker
Damn it is hard to make a pride themed icon
I tried :'(
(It looks really bad from a distance :/)
Yikes.
Yeah that doesn't work.
Can I have a go at something Tommrow owez?
I'll get back to you
looks sixty niney
Okay so I just joined for the first time, why is the server icon rainbow?
Is it to show support for gay people?
How is programming related to sexuality at all???
Is there a way I can change the icon?
It's okay. I'll figure it out.
Well hey, it's pride month, there's a bunch of people here under that banner
that it applies to I mean
You're telling me that there are many gay people here?
I mean LGBT is way more than just gay people, but yeah, I know of a few
Seems only right to support our community, right?
yeah there's a bunch of people in the lgbt community here, including on the staff.
and even more of us boring straight people who are happy to celebrate pride.
not sure who has an issue here out of the two of us
It's super nice to see the interaction go up too
I don't support being gay but I don't criticize anyone for it.
welcome to the community though. hope you'll enjoy it here, whether or not you like the event icon.
I've seen a few LGBT people come out and start chatting with us, because the logo and event showed to them that they're safe here
love it
Well hey, as long as you're not rude to 'em or calling 'em out
just so you can't blame me, I should tell you that modifying the discord client breaks the terms of service
so whatever you do is on you :P
Hello I am a TOS stickler and I am reporting you to the heads of discord
He already left me thinks :P
Vim*:P
emacs
I've heard something about pride month today and honestly, it made sense. Why do we have a pride month to support the sexuality of others, but only a day to remember the veterans that fought really hard for years and that many of them lost their lives? I'm not against LGBTQ+s in any way, but that's just my opinion.
A whole month just seems a bit too much
Yeah I guess
You actually made a great point
But a month.. 1/12 of the year... That's a long time
I'm gay. I joined because I thought this was a different type of Python chatroom ๐
Please don't ban me for that lol
You have Haskell in your name, I doubt it :P
haha you got me
Worth a try!
sorry for pinging so much later
@torn mural anybody can celebrate anything for as long as they want
i know a dude who puts christmas and new year's decorations up at the beginning of december and takes them down at the end of january. you can celebrate memorial day as long as you want, just put some signs up, fam
adding on to what Proprr said, people don't just like the military, they're infatuated with them. like, you literally cannot even say "military industrial complex" in this country without people losing their shit
additionally, people (these days) choose to go into the military, knowing full-well what will happen to them. nobody is murdering vets. queer people can't choose to be queer. trust me.
also, last year, more trans women were murdered in the US alone than marines were killed in active combat. being a trans woman (especially a trans woman of color) is literally more dangerous than being in the marines
in Japan they put up Christmas decorations right after Halloween..
and I think I've mentioned.. Pride parade here is in May..
also also (wow i have too many additions) when a trans person does something fucking horrible (like a school shooting), it's used as a way to attack all trans people
when a vet with severe PTSD or schizophrenia goes on a shooting spree, nobody blames all vets. the guy who shot dimebag was a vet, and nobody even mentions it
hope i clreaed something up, sorry again for the ping ^^"
All pretty good points
But
I would avoid the us vs them mentality for some of it
Like that's not your thing but when you take, for example
Oh yeah, I have one example
sorry, i'm exhausted and detoxing from some nasty meds right now, clinging onto lucidity ^^"
Some people get annoyed with the gendered rights debates
Because eg the mens activists will bring up a point and the womens activists will go "Yeah but we have Y problem"
And I gotta say, vets sure do have problems :P
Haha, it's okay
like, i follow someone who was a vet fae has some really, really terrible issues because of it and completely regrets fae ever went in
i definitely couldve worded that part better
neopronouns
hang on
Here are some example sentences using my fae/faer pronouns: Fae went to the park. I went with faer . Fae brought faer frisbee. At least I think it was faers . Fae threw the frisbee to faerself .
Are people bringing even more pronouns in?
fae's been a thing for years
What's wrong with they?
pronouns confuse me
what's wrong with he or she?
I just use they
mood
some people prefer different gender-neutral pronouns and i respect that
back to what i was saying though, commercials for the military in the US are straight up propaganda
like, it's terrifying
and kids just out of highschool or still in highschool cannot make an informed decision to enter the military
I don't like the pronoun thing because I feel it unnecessarily complicates something that's already pretty damn complicated
if it makes someone more comfortable, it's necessary
I'm not gonna like, use the wrong word on purpose but cmon
I can't remember all this stuff
it takes a bit, but you eventually get used to it
if you can memorize the entire syntax of python you can handle pronouns :P
I can't remember all this stuff :P
Yeah but I use that every day, all the time
I like how the page you linked says the pronoun is unwieldy lol
?
ah, gotcha
in that case, nobody will fault you for not being able to remember
Haha, they will, and they do
then they either don't understand dyspraxia, or they're ableists
the first is understandable once, anything else is just shitty
and i'm sorry people are like that. there are reasons we can get like that, but no excuses
But a lot of people that use these extra pronouns do so because they know people don't like them or are likely to forget them, at least in my experience
Not all of them
But a lot of them
Maybe different cultures or corners of the Internet, I guess
I mean, I'm a dude living in Europe so I have to watch myself anyway
queer people definitely can be assholes, and i do my best to avoid them ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Anyone can be, really :P
i mean like, i straight up had to completely re-anonymize myself online because a trans woman decided i was a nice target
I have at least managed to avoid that one
it just feels like most people use a single queer jerk to call all queer people jerks
Well I don't think that
But most of my interactions with people in that sphere are online
it's... wow, i could write a fucking essay on this lmao
And I have more problems IRL
ah
Than online, I mean
But like I say, I'm a dude, that makes me automatically untrustworthy apparently :P
people who are out irl tend to get so much shit that they just... clam up. every interaction is treated as a chance to get hurt again
I think there's something to be said for knowing when to seek help about that
that's a lot easier said than done
especially because the GRC is a fucking joke
What's that now?
it's a part of the NHS
i think it stands for gender... recognition? clinic
not sure on the r
Oh, yeah. I know that rabbit hole.
you can't get hrt in the UK (EU? not sure how far the NHS extends) without it
it currently has a wait list of over 3 years
the wait list doesnt move. ever. it only gets longer.
The waitist is insane yeah
The idea is that they are supposed to interview and analyse people that intend to get trans transitional treatments
and the GRC is run by people who may as well be ray blanchard
To basically ensure they understand what it all means, what the risks are, and to make sure they aren't like.. A kid being a kid, if they're young
But yeah I've heard the controversies
There's also one that goes in the other direction
ie nb doesnt exist, trans men dont exist, trans women have to essentially be AGP
Clinics approving treatments for people that shouldn't have been approved and clinics pressuring people to become trans too
It's a mess all over basically
nobody pressures someone to be trans lmao
You wanna bet?
im broke
but if i had money, i would put it up
There's been a few fairly public cases
link?
One I remember that was of particular note was a family in the US
I don't have one to hand but I can give you an idea of it
Basically, a woman had a child. Kid was male.
The woman wasn't happy and so she decided to raise the child as a girl, forcibly
It was very widely covered, so I'm not so sure about that
Nah that sounds nothing like what I'm thinking of
using UK time
I'm in Ireland
"same thing"
at least i've never unironically said "scotland england"
nice
countries are weird
๐ ๐
Haha
The country's politics are backed by fish and milkshakes
milkshakes
hell yeah milkshakes
