  • The thing that annoys me the most is how it cares about whitespace/carriage returns. I remember back in college when I was taking a CS class, learning Python and writing the Code on a Windows PC, emailing it to myself, and then attempting to run the code on Linux. Before I learned about the carriage return conversions, I remember having to rewrite about 75 lines of code before I got it to run. 🤬



  • Yeah, it’s just blazing hot there but at least when the sun goes away you get some relief, the humidity sticks around even at night haha I’m originally from South Jersey where the humidity is just as bad for about 2 months out of the year, so I’m used to it, but at least there’s the occasional reprieve up there. Here, it’s just relentlessly humid. At least I live right next to Biscayne Bay and there’s always a 10-20 mph breeze, so it’s not just still humidity like it is back home in NJ. Both places are essentially built on swamps. If you look at a map of South Florida it’s literally just the east and west coast that are populated (spanning maybe 20-30 miles inland) with the entire center taken up by the Everglades.

    I live in a new apartment building and I forgot to turn on my AC last night (thanks Ambien!), when I woke up it was 74 in my apartment but 70% humidity 🥵 I’ve never seen it below 50% in here, even in January or February when the temp drops down to the 70s. I’ve had my dehumidifier running for about 1.5 hours and it’s 57% in here now. It’s 12:30 PM right now and it’s 70% RH with a 76 degree dew point and a temp of 88F, feels like 100F.



  • Sounds like Miami, every day I look at the temperature and it’s like 82-90, feels like 100. Literally every day since like late May/early June, the weather report says “oppressive humidity, extreme caution” since it hangs around 70-85% with a dew point in the mid 70s. This isnt event record breaking either. Whenever the humidity drops down to like 60% and the temp is in the low 80s I’m like “it’s actually cool out for once” even though the real feel is like 92.

    It’s been cloudy and rainy for like the past two weeks, so at least the pool is back to a cool/comfortable temperature and not like bathwater every day.





  • Sure, I did something “wrong” intentionally (with ZERO malice intended), I just think it’s ridiculous (and actually kinda funny) how angry people got over it. It’s not like I completely denied their “status” (or whatever) as the opposite gender. I included both names (referring to their former and current selves) because their former gender and current gender are two different identities, correct? You wouldn’t refer to Kaitlyn’s former self as Kaitlyn, would you? She was Bruce when she was a male, so how is that “wrong”? It was like I collectively punched everyone in the metaphorical balls just because they saw a name. It’s like we’re living in the Harry Potter universe and I said “Voldemort”.

    I’m accepting of everyone, I was hanging out with a non-binary guy, a queer girl, and another guy, whom I believe was transgender last night for multiple hours. Yet, people read so far into stuff that they assume that you’re on the extreme opposite side of them all because I decided to use the former names of two celebrities when comparing how they looked as their former selves and their current selves.

    It seems that (some) people that are members of the “other” (I’m sure I’ll get hate for that as well!) communities outside of Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual community are some the angriest people, I’ve seen it mentioned multiple times from people that are part of the LGB community that there is a rift between them and even they find it quite ridiculous. It’s like the people on the TQIA+ are on the extreme opposite side of the “anti” side, you fuck up and they want to crucify you and deem you as being hateful.

    I was also only banned for a day because of that entire conversation, the permaban was because I said “As a guy I appreciate the change” when a woman said she switched from jeans to yoga pants as her daily wear (in a completely different post) 🤣 You can’t even make an “out of line” comment without enraging the powers that be apparently! Imagine being a woman and saying “as a woman, I appreciate the change” when a muscle bound guy said he switched from wearing loose T-shirts to tight t-shirts that show off his muscles. It’s fucking ridiculous.
