The lakes is clearly the best song on folklore and it’s just a bonus track smh
Its one of top Taylor tracks overall
good news and bad news
good news, now im only on 93 servers. bad news, lost 2 friends today
for java i recommend codota
and lost as in...lost?
or lost as in "bye felicia"
either way am sorry
oh no I really didn't like either of them
Constantly betrayed me, talked behind my back
Sad, I knew them many years
They're still alive though
Indeed, but the amount of friends I trust and can vent to have now dwindled down to about 2
That's ok I have 0
(I mean, that's not "ok". It's "ok" for me. I don't mean 2 invalidate u)
Nah it's okay, I've been very good at bottling my emotions up
Yeah that's probably a scam lmao
<@&748618676189528155> has posted twice ever in the serbur, both to advertise.
sorry didnt see u ping already
Hey the bot interrupted that very uplifting conversation
?ban @void void advertising
TheRedFlask#7366 was banned | advertising
Aurora goes to bed at like 9pm so the probability e of her being up at this time is basically 0
ya das why i enjoy mods ping
hence why the @ mods exists
v good addition
Not as good as the lakes
tru
Which should have been on the main album
Not just the deluxe version
I am very upset because of this
Is it allowed to modify a paper jar
Also listening to the uncensored album still has me shook <.<
She says the f word .-.
Who tf you talking about city
Who's taylor
It's in the TOPIC
smh
Answer my question 😕
Taylor !!
Tacos, Cats, TAYLOR, and burning of leafs

Wow thanks, really helpful
Oh
He's too young to know, he's 11 remember?
Disgusting
Yeah I can't read yet, give me a break
If you’re old enough to breathe you’re old enough to stan Taylor ffs
WHAT

@ demon
But yeah I listen to folklore every night before falling asleep
This album is curing my insomnia
I need to make a new playlist though
Mines so outdated
It's from when I was 7 instead of 11
anyone know any good chat plugins that work with group mananger
for colored group prefixies
fixes*
Group Manager 
LuckPerms
Has a great wiki, do read.
like
It has the ability to provide prefixes to chat plugins, yes.
But it doesn't do chat by itself
But also guys midnight sky is such a good song and now I’m excited for another Miley album
Haven’t been this excited since I saw her butt on a giant screen at Globen in Stockholm
When she was riding a giant hotdog
And I had way too much caffeine and crashed afterwards. Good old times, before I become a depressed mess and gave up on happiness
Now I can only imagine what it feels like to experience joy
Wtf aurora go sleep
Aurora goes to bed at like 9pm so the probability e of her being up at this time is basically 0
@heady spear but then she usually can't sleep and checks her phone after an hour or something
True
I can guarantee that
aurora uwu
Aurora he keeps calling Taylor crappy
City and I are weird and we bond over our sadness
Is that even allowed
I don't think it is tbh
😠
Demon makes the rules and he's a stan so probably not allowed
Any?
legit the best one
Bungee hat is pretty good I think
Scroll all the way down to chat plugins
luckowo
DeluxeChat is pretty good for premium, EssentialsXChat otherwise tbh
and whatever you do dont buy ChatControl 
SimpleChat is vics stuff I think but he never put it on spigot
Venturechat is yikes galore
is essentialx good for essential commands?
yes o.o
It’s the best out of all those bad all monoliths
Ok am too tired to sense
So Sleep now bye
ok bye
Carbon @heady spear
did the ping take 6 minutes to go off?
Shut up


Go to sleep
@heady spear hoe
Dang you guys make a lot of git commits O.o
do we
I appreciate that though ❤️

I'm trying to learn Python, which is supposed to be "easier" to learn
oh no
python is hard to read
I found Java easier than Python or other langs without strict types, because I was able to define my types but that's just me
shut up ruby nerd
😡

It can be, if writen crappy

now that's art
What is the mad lad doing now https://owo.whats-th.is/7YCXLsU.png
oh so theyre not even discord partners anymore
theyre just "Partnered Server Owners"
My mess of a class for my discord bot xD
it unironically sounds horrible to find a bug when code bodies are defined solely by indentation
For discord bots, I find myself using discordjs (for nodejs) mostly.
aaaaaa
discordjs is.... ok
mfw people think discord.js or discord.py are the only discord api clients
even though theres one in like every language even shell
yea
C# is like dsharp right?
can also just directly use their rest api
node 
i mean
I forget what that one is called.

Guys
Its a need to register your name in mc server?
If my server is called TestServer Network 2
wh
what
and then u register a brand named "TestServer Network 2"
hmmm.
Are you using google translate or something?
Can you try that again, I wanna help but you're making very little sense
Ok
as in, multiple servers?
doesnt matter
kinda does but ok
Ok your server is called "Test2 Network", continue
And then a random guy, wants to register the brand, paying for the ownership of a brand
named "Test2 Network"
By brand you mean something.com?
yep
Ok that's called a domain name
or like the name its elf?
not really the brand but ok
like they own the copyright to the name?
Well, a brand would be registering a government trademark
We can't really help there
oh so youre asking if you need to register a copyright for your server name
Iirc it’s not a copyright for a name, it’s a trademark.
you dont?? but if you name your server "google server" you might get sniped
Trademark or registered name, you can't use someone else's trademark. But it's highly unlikely that after you name your Minecraft server that someone will go trademark it.
If they do and they sue you, then yes you will have to change your name.
You can trademark it but expect to pay somewhere like $300-500
there have been 0 recorded cases of that however
@potent fossil it's called having a job 
?
so u can
"did your ping take 6 minutes to go off?"
He was in bed Vic
if i buy a trademark yes?
And you don’t ever need to “register” a copyright to any art you created. If you created it, you own it. If you can prove you created it, that’s all you need. Registering a copyrighted work is just one way people use to prove that it’s theirs.
In my bed
You work in your bed
Yes
Nice
I'm a hooker
But then lets supose i have the 500 usd
@shy tundra the point is, yes, you can name your server whatever you want. Probably not smart to name it something that is already trademarked because the trademark owner will probably not like that. You can always trademark your own name, you just have to submit the application to the proper agency.
If you trademark and keep it active, then yes, you would have the ability to stop others from using your name.
But, ask yourself if you really need to do that...
(No matter what they pay)
doesn't matter, if you trademark it you own the name in a commercial sense.
They would not legally be able to make money using your trademarked name
If you trademark it, essentially no one else can brand their stuff with it. (Within reason)
right so..
There are companies that have the same name, but are in such different fields, that there is no issue
I'm not sure what the question is
If i buy a trademark with name "Test2WhatEver" and then a mc server is has that name
He's not yet asking for legal advice, just asking about branding
If he does then im hitting him with the INAL
tf is the inal
I'm Not A Lawyer
You don’t buy trademarks. Unless someone already has one for that name. I think
ah
could i sue that server?
Now that's legal advice
how old are you
^ lol
that's question one
more WNALAWWGYINLA (We are not lawyers and what we give you is not legal advice)
But uh, generally, yes. Talk to a lawyer. But yea, good question JRoy.
Basically, you can only "sue" if they're.... infringing on said copyright
this whole thing is 
It's not free to sue btw. Even if you own the trademark.
im talking general terms
IE: pretending to BE you
you can legally sue anyone for anything
So you need to have a lot of money.
You're mixing copyright and trademarks
Which is why https://twitter.com/chipotle goes along
doesn't mean it's going to go anywhere
Mr Chipotle doesn't infringe on the BRAND of Chipotle, so Chipotle - despite owning their name - has to use ChipotleTweets
Guys guys, lets supose i have a network with 1000 players and someome comes with lot of money, and buy the copyright to that name, after that, he could sue me for using HIS name and in consecuence, forcing me to change the network name?
You don’t buy that stuff
Doesn't work like that
Yea, this quickly went from "whats a brand" to "can i sue someone for using my name"
No because you had it first and you can prove that.
So, am out
so u cant
predatory trademarking is illegal
im just worried because i do have a network
Unless someone already has a trademark or copyright for something, you don’t buy it.
Did someone threaten to do this to you over Discord?
and somebody threat me that way
If you're that worried you need to go talk to a lawyer.
This is not the place.
We're not lawyers.
If this happened over Discord, https://dis.gd/request.
However I have a feeling this is just 13 year olds throwing threats at each other over discord DM and it's Heated ™️
lol
doesnt change the fact that he could do i t
It does actually, you really think he can afford to retain a lawyer for that?
My goto advice is
thats like at least $10k down the drain
If someone threatens you with legal action
just for some joke
Welcome it
You cannot register a trademark when you're under 18 in the united states
Noones gonna actually do anything
can confirm, had to wait until i was 18 to make my DBA
which is +18
why would his brother do it, this is a giant game of what ifs that will never ever pan out
Still need money for it...Why are they gonna drop that much money just to troll you. Answer: They won't.
People don't sue unless there is something in it for them.
Think.
I know
everyone stop engaging in the useless convo please and thank you
but we are talking hypotetically
@mighty storm how's rory
sleepign on her chair
@shy tundra we're not going to deal in hypotheticals, please go talk to a lawyer or drop it. Convo over, ok? Thx
But what if...
Back to math homework
ye i assume
gonna go petition to copyright myminecraftnetwork, brb
i just thought somone would know about this
They're called lawyers, again 😛
We're not lawyers so the answer is our advice is not something you want to depend on
i didnt know
There’s an r/legaladvice right?
lol
Which I’m sure has a disclaimer that it’s not legal advice
r/legaladvice is fucking horrible itself
yes, but like...they let nonlawyers comment
reddit lawyers 😆 😆 😆
If you want real legal advice, talk to a goddamn lawyer IRL holy fuck
r/legaladvice is for.... "legal concepts" and "simple questions"
they're almost as bad as discord lawyers
so they don't step into the place of "lawyering"
discord lawyers lmao
Which honestly, is the most legal solution to that lol
I will rather take advice from @waxen panther than redditor

I think the best advice you get from r/legaladvice, ironic to this topic, is "go talk to your local IRL laywer"
u...wot
gross
well that just derailed this entire channel
The sub is just like r/funny
200 casualties
That’s a packed train simple
That's actually not packed at all for a common commuter train
i love how when pasting into IJ it's like "nah" then pastes some absolute nonsense
(the terminal)
I am unaware of any, my current method is just using a separate vps from OVH specifically for geyser and passing the traffic to the origin that way lol
no program, geyser is literally running on the secondary VPS and passing the traffic over to my origin server where the server is actually running. just firewall'd properly, so at least origin IP isn't exposed, but it still leaves geyser exposed (but less so since it's OVH)
yeah lol
Speaking of geyser... how much does it hurt the performance, as ots running a bedrock server too, it has to hurt it even a little
It's not running a bedrock server
At all, it's just translating the protocol to java
the only noticeable load I have ever seen geyser do (on 30~ player server) is when people switch dimensions, quite a bit of cpu usage there, but as expected it's converting a ton of data on the fly so there will be some cost
but like, it's not going to effect your "server performance", unless your hardware is being overloaded
Geyser is just a packet translator, as said before. So it requires very little resources.
Get a tiny cheap ass vps and ur good
yup, currently have geyser on bare minimum hardware and it's working fine
and Pure said OVH bc they come with DDoS mitigation
so yes do recommend
anyway, got damn having a tablet has changed the way i do my homework
in a good way
very helpful for online classes
most Datacenters come with DDoS mitigation
Ah yes, everyone sit down. Adam is here to explain the situation.
the included one is basic DDoS mitigation (reactive)
its usually extra cost for premium protection (Proactive Mitigation)
for example heres with the datacenter i have my server hosted in:
you do realize that the topic is not what hosts provide ddos mitigation but just a recommendation as to where to host a small cheap ddos protected vps to host geyser right?
or do you just read what you want to read and then strap on your HUGE BRAIN to teach everyone what no one cares about
just wondering
hello mana
@potent fossil > So it requires very little resources.
My experience with ViaVersion and ProtocolSupport tell me otherwise... actually, translating packets is very expensive
I haven't experienced gigantic load with it, but then again I really don't run a huge network
It doesn't help the PE protocol requires every packet to be compresssed which is lame
So yea, fair point. Info incomplete, no idea what actual needs are
We had to implement lots of tricks to bring the cost down, and we're still not happy with where we are.
hm my brain is wtfing (off topic) at rotating these curves around y=1
hmm good to know Tux
hola Camo
Interesting (good!) to hear user experiences that Geyser works well on "barebones" hardware.
Hello!
I guess the difference with Tux would be that you're dealing with hundreds of players, potentially.
I mean it does for me, but my load is like... 3 players.
Tux has a gigantic network afaik
Was I right camo
?
yea geyser is a packet translator not a bedrock server
Who made this image so I can yell at them https://owo.whats-th.is/9Lf5Fd9.png
(I'm pulling your leg)
xd
And by default we don't even cache chunks on standalone versions.
I don't call us a server, but Bedrock clients think we are a Bedrock server.
Right now it's mostly for sound and particle information.
Like otherwise we don't have context on what kind of block is being broken.
In the future it will have far more importance when we merge non-full-chunk support (Bedrock doesn't have that so we need to send full chunks) and when we finish move fixes (which requires knowing what the client is interacting with).
Atm tho Geyser is life changing so 
Yeah, it's so exciting to see it grow in popularity!
We were actually faced with an interesting dilemma yesterday.
Another Discord was denying support if people were using Floodgate because it was "piracy".
Arguing that you were not connecting to the server with a Java account.
the idea of translating packets and forwarding to the actual java server is really innovative, instead of what people were doing prior and trying to have full support for both servers in one monolith
wtf
but it still makes sure they own MC
Correct.
so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And the EULA groups both under the same product.
I see where they're coming from - it's not unreasonable - but of course I don't agree with it.
Well, meh I guess.
As long as they own one of the two, I see it as they've purchased the game.
Other viewpoints are not invalid tho
Yeah.
There are worse battles - we just requested that people don't get kicked from support for using Geyser online mode since that authenticates with Java, and I think it worked.
Yeah.
Interesting
Unfortunately it's going to be a smaller portion of people - that Discord already denies support to a single cracked plugin or offline mode indication, and it's unlikely you're running a plugin version of Geyser without Floodgate or offline mode.
Right
We (reasonably) deny support to people who run offline-mode proxies on the Velocity Discord. It's too much hassle for us to handle, and most of those users aren't worth it anyway.
Does that include Floodgate Tux?
If Floodgate is configured to accept authenticated users only, then it's fine.
Thanks. xd
I'm very reasonable.
I mean, authenticated via xbox/etc not via Mojang's java account servers
still ok?
yes, it's fine
👍
the "no piracy" rule probably needs some clarification
We have a hidden offline mode - most of the core Geyser team was strongly against any offline mode but after we realized 1: Waterdog (Bedrock and Java BungeeCord) wouldn't work and 2: our external MITM proxy program (for debugging packets) wouldn't work after we fixed a flaw in our Xbox authenticating, we compromised.
Because it's very unreasonable most of the time to not want to authenticate with Xbox when it's free.
Waterdog is a nightmare though
We use it on Mineteria, and only to service PE clients.
Oof. In terms of its architecture or execution?
Both
Architecture, well it's BungeeCord, it's a bad architecture.
Execution is also bad. We've applied hack after hack to make it kind of work, and that's on top of the hacks we use so that PE users can even connect to the server and not enjoy jerky movement
If BungeeCord were actually well-architectured, you wouldn't be seeing me start Velocity
We are ready to abandon Waterdog as soon as proper PE support shows up for Velocity... and I'll make heaven and earth move to make that happen.
Some people have been playing with it.
I'm happy to give a hand, though my form of "giving a hand" would likely be using the same library we use throughout Cloudburst/Geyser and then copying a bunch of code.
sounds bout right
I mean, it'd probably be better for everyone if the Plexus and Velocity projects merged to some degree.
howd you send those like instantly back to back
wat
You mean typing multiple lines
Like this, chew?
those a re 2 separate messages
Are they?
Are you sure?
I had the second one in my clipboard.

I have a billboard in my room synced to your Paper discord roles
if they change i know immediately

Here's what I really, really want.
As soon as someone mentions a keyword anywhere on my Discord channels, I get a notification.
Yea, like IRC
Well yes that would be nice too, Chew.
setting highlights ha
But not every Discord has an IRC bridge. 
cant believe once again an ancient irc protocl has more features than a "modern" voip client
geyser bridge when camo?? when?? ??
You could sync to IRC and then set up your highlights that way and then get push notifs 🤠
one day paper will go 5 minutes without chew talking about irc
i went 3 years without talking about it
I already am
granted I wasn't in this server
i've been here far too long
old prune
I came back after a 8 month period of inactivity at the start of the year and all the regulars in here changed 
??? this server was created in 2017
was in irc before
I used to use the IRC a lot but wasn't big into this discord until last year

@mighty storm chuwu
uwu
Wat
wtf did they do right here? https://owo.whats-th.is/7tu61uv.png
pulled out a 2 from the integral and the -1/sqrt(2) bound just becomes 0?
wtf
it's mathemagics
the function gives the same value whether y is negative or not
so
am math genius
totally
remember last year when you had to yell at me to get me to understand what a limit was
look how far ive come dad, i made it all the way to not understanding integrals
I forgot most of what I learned in calc 2.
idk, the cyllindrical method or whatever fucked all our brains so he pushed off the HW for that until next week
im finishing up the disks and washers volumes homework atm
Yeah the rotating around the x axis
yea shits fucking me up
Fun times
the axes are fine
its when it rotates around like some arbitrary number
then im like ??
smh
Mhmm
Anyone think they can help me with a summon commandblock issue?
.ask
If you have a question, please just ask it. Don't look for staff or topic experts. Don't ask to ask or ask if people are awake or available. Just ask the question to the channel straight out, and wait patiently for a reply.
My /summon command spawns in a mob holding a certain item with nbt data, but the nbt data of that item isn't there when the mob drops the item..
@mighty storm go to sleep
it's only eleven 4ourty seven
if you're not asleep you're doing it wrong
oops
you can get partial credit for being in bed
Ayyy

not paper related, but regardless i guess you should ask in #paper-dev where the devs hang out and answer dev questions... @void void
I came here precisely because it's not paper related lmao
i understand that but #paper-dev is for dev discussion
but uh whatever, im not going to argue about it
if someone wants to help you here then fine
oookie dokie
I hear irc doesn't forget
nothing worth remembering anyway
like you for example
yes
at least that's what discord thought when they nuked ur account 
press F for OG simple
ok fuck finally, finished deriving the formula for the area of a cap of an arbitrary sphere
kill me
@potent fossil uwu
Why was your account nuked simple 
we doin this again
Yes
i sent a grabify link (yes, stupid) via IRC, it got bridged to discord, someone reported my discord acc because the names were the same and discord was like "ok delete"
that's pretty much it
Rekt
just finished my math homework, now i need to write a kickass essay thing for english in less than an hour or my ass is toast
Simple toasts
How long the essay gotta be?
not long
You should be fine
Ayyy
I asked them for more information and they declined to give it to me.
So can't answer that

wym
wym wim
Wat
what u mean what i mean
Wait
wat
i admit to that lol
Wat
yeah but it could've been
yes
The answer is strawberries.
yes
Do not ask questions.
No one did
Okay
I am glad you agree.
thank u

I just woke up 5 minutes ago as well haha
Go back to bed
I'm still in bed
@mighty storm go to sleep. now.
Bold of you to assume I'm getting out of there anytime soon 😂

goodnight Rory wherever she is
give her pets next time you see her awake
The cat looks like it just nuked something in the house and came to taunt you.
she is a talented child
Hi @potent fossil 😄 good morning
hello bb
jesus my classmates have some shitty arguments
i could destroy these people
d e s t r o y
plz don't destroy ppl
apparently we're reporting our prof because he isn't following the approved course plan and he introduced a random presentation and essay and will be basing the entire grade on that
whereas the course plan only mentions a written exam
destroy them, show no mercy
I remember one time in calc III a professor threw a marker at me (I was sitting in the last row) because I had fallen asleep in his class
I was first row cause I came in late first day and always slept
We report it anonymously to the student union, and they make a case out of it
Prof was angry not cause am sleeping, but because my posture was shit 😂
Made me stretch after class 10/10
how did you end up on the first row after coming in late?
i hate this prof tho so i hope they spank him real good 😠
I always ended up last row because I was always late
My uni was more like school
Idk, the profs never really bothered me, they knew me
I either knew everything they said already
Or, in case of maths, all hope was lost anyways
So they just let me be me, as long as I wasn't disturbing others
I developed a full game in my numerical mathematics class 😂
(I had to attend classes, it was work time)
did yall have mandatory attendance?
my best (worst?) math class was linear alg
because I've had courses where I didn't attend a single lecture and scored A:s 😛
Basically a dual study, theoretical education in uni + practical education at my company
LA2 was my second worst after numeric
Both I failed 3 times
9/10 times he was writing some example on the board he would write it down, standing in front of it, get halfway through, still blocking the view, then just stare at it for a while. Then he would say "no, that's not right" and erase it and then just move on
he retired after that year
his fucks to give were negative probably
My issue with uni was, that I never learned to learn before that
And for the IT classes, I would just skim the script in the train to uni and still finish with an A
That didn't fly for maths
So I failed every single one, then had to do them later, which caused me to not have time for other math exams, so I failed those too
I mean, it worked out for me in the end anyways, I finished with 2.1, where 1.0 is best, 4.0 is passed 5.0 is worst
Still above avg, lol
Most people that come out of HS don't really know how to study and learn
I was extreme tho
There were days at school where I would just pack one paper and a pen and that's it
At least if they didn't take some alternative curriculum, I'm super lucky I took the IB and actually knew how I learn and take in information
No homework obviously, no books, no nothing
But like, everything in school was so easy, if teachers challenged me on something, I would take a second to try to read from the board wtf they on about and then still be able to answer them
And no, I don't have an amazing IQ or anything
At least not that I know, lol
I did fine in university but by the time I got to my final year I definitely did only what was necessary to graduate
and god I'm glad I didn't put in any more work than that
so far 0 companies have asked anything about my education
Some teachers would make us write down our homework on the board so we can compare, one time I copied the homework of the dude that was standing next to me
Yeah, they just care that you got a paper
like not even a glancing question about my undergrad or masters degree
If at all
This is why I'm a huge proponent of more challenging programmes (such as the IB) that actually give you a chance to develop academically :))
meanwhile, because america, I'm in a ton of debt from it
and my SO has like 2-4x as much debt as me
See, that's what would annoy me, because I am sure you would have landed a job without a paper too
But would be paid less
Cause no paper !!!!
yeah i don't even know
here ppl will just throw away ur application if you don't have a masters ^^
Education is free here, in fact, I was paid to go in uni cause my dual study
I got into the industry based on the people and relationships I formed from university
I didn't bother with a master
even a masters isn't enough in most cases, it has to be a computer engineering degree specifically
That shit would have killed me
idk how I would have gotten into the industry otherwise
but the actual schooling & education had nothing to do with it
the masters level courses here are a LOOOOOT more interesting than the undergrad courses tho
Idk, maybe I feel adventourages later and get a master's in AI or smth
that being said, I did learn a lot of really great skills and important things here and there, mostly non-CS releated, from university that makes me happy I did it purely from a self-improvement point of view
But like, am happy where I am right now
am I the only one that actually likes my education? .-.
And I don't see a need to go back to uni
I don't think I would be nearly as well-rounded of a person if I hadn't gone to university
Thankfully we didnt do too much of the theoretical bullshit
We have a special combined bachelors+masters degree here which is essentially a glorified masters of engineering. I do mine in computer technology, but it's a big ol' mixture of theoretical CS and mathematics, electrical engineering, software engineering and applied mathematics
We learn a ton of stuff I could use in day to day operation
But most of that I knew before
and I use a ton of skills completely unrelated to programming & math every day for project planning, working in a team, project scoping, etc. Things which I noticed was painfully missing from most junior devs who only had coding bootcamp experience rather than a university background
also mandatory courses in shit like sustainability, and project management + leadership (actually a really good one :D)
But yeah, I agree demon, uni shaped me as a person more than as a developer
o and the software engineering course here is good too, they bring up team work shit, but I didn't get accepted because of that dum administrator hoe that lied to me
so now I can't take it until next year
I was gonna be a pure maths student initially before I decided to go for CS, but this is a good middle ground for me personally
though we have this one prof which teaches a lot of the applied CS shit and she's awful
obviously doesn't wanna be there and she makes everything miserable lol
You aiming to be a teacher, right?
o that's a fun combo
yea
I considered doing that before
Cause like, at the age where they are getting the IT course at school, kids are really fun to work with and you could shape their future
you can study german here, it's taught at almost every middle and high school in the country 😛
And especially help loose the fear some girls have for these topics
lol
But then again, I don't want to be a full time teacher
I considered to do it part time before, maybe when am a bit older
^Karlie Kloss has a really cool initiative to get girls into CS
yes the super model
she's dope
the school I went to phased out German classes
But I think that could be real fun
I think I was one of the last people to do German there ||and I've forgotten most of it||
If I really do, I'll remember this and call you up Kenny and steal all your preparations, lol
By the by, there's one girl in my entire base class
and like 39 dudes
that's quite sad .-.
4 out of 30 here
3 out of 10 in my team at work tho
This year's course at uni had 10 out of 40
(at my uni doing my study)
That said, mathematics (bachelors of maths to be specific) is majority female here
Cause those end up as teachers
they also dominate industrial economics
(it's a 5 year engineering degree here)
and sustainable engineering is also majority female
o and chemical engineering too
The sister uni of my is like engineering only
The pure maths students here have to take object oriented programming so maybe that can trick some girls into doing CS 😛
And is famous for having no girls
Which also leads to the whole city having no girls
It's a tragedy
RWTH Aachen, Kenny might have heard of it
This is Sweden tho so I expect us to be ahead in terms of gender equality lel
I was at FH Aachen, but here in cologne
ah
We share profs and everything
I also want a non-gendered pronoun in Ger, City :(
Thing about Sweden is that equality doesn’t ever feel forced here
Das Kenny
It’s just a natural part of society
Neopronouns exist and they look quite cool kneny
but nothing unified/nothing widely used
they is English lol
We only have "es" which is "it"
but that's more for objects and stuff
But that's mostly used in degrading ways
so preeeetty bad for humans
I know people how have it as their pronouns
oh boy
The reason hen is widely adopted here is because the government made policy out of it 😛
My best friend is going for masters of education too, whenever I see her papers which how the have to gender stuff, idk, it's so ugly
what language is "es" from
Once the government adopted it, everyone followed
That's why you write in English lol
or a part of, rather
