  • So, I grew up in a super religious environment – which is where I grew up, not necessarily the folks in this picture. But if this was from my childhood, I would imagine it went down like this: there are quite a few people who are 100% bought in to the religious teachings. A few of those folks probably got together and developed this idea. No double entendre meant or understood. But there are also quite a few folks who are at least aware of the real world. Those folks saw this trainwreck unfolding in slow motion. But the problem is, sex is taboo. So what are they going to do? Raise the alarm? Explain to everyone who doesn’t know what a clit is? And then, worst of all, explain how they know what a clit is? Oh hell no. That’s just never going to happen. So if the team embarrasses themselves, well, I guess that was just God’s will.






  • One use case is if you’re running a web server that is configured to return a “maintenance” page instead of the live site if a particular file exists. Which is actually pretty cool because then you don’t have to update the config when you need to do something or let your users get a bunch of 502 errors, you just touch maintenance and you’re good.




  • I can relate in that I’ve never had a desire for someone else to take my name. But my ex-wife wanted to take my name because it would replace her father’s name, and that name was problematic to her. She has since changed it to a name she chose for herself. When my current partner married her ex, they both changed their name to one they chose to identify their new family. Those all seem like pretty good reasons.

    Man, I can relate, I was in a bad way when I was 24. I was very lonely and dangerously far down the incel path (though nobody called it that then) before I snapped out of it.

    What I wish I had understood then is just how vast the bredth of human experience is. It may be hard to imagine right now given experiences you’ve had, but there are a lot of women who would be into you if given the chance. I know this is true because women are people. Quite a few of them are into men, of those quite a few are available and also yearning for a connection, and of those quite a few still are into some of your interests and particularly like various traits that describe you.

    Rejection can be hard, but it only means it’s not just right just now for just her, not that there’s anything wrong with you.
