I say this as someone who codes professionally and for fun: insisting everyone can learn to code is wrong. It’s like saying everyone can learn to play the violin. Furthermore this sentiment is too often used as a cudgel to silence debate on systemic problems with the labor market

yesterday I got invited to hang with some people I was assured were not From The Internet and five out of the eight of us present turned out to be fucking goons. It’s like the masons but stupider

me, coding in C#: i wont be a real dev until i code in C++

me, coding in C++: i wont be a real dev until i code in C

me, coding in C: i wont be a real dev until i code in assembly

me, coding in assembly: i wont be a real dev until i destroy god & supplant him as creator of all

mom: have you touched your brother’s beard?
me: i touched facial hair he had around easter but that growth is long gone. a classic Ship of Thesus problem - can it truly be said that i have touched it? indeed,
brother: check out this santa beard, it’s so *soft*!

the disaster artist was amazing and it made me cry

during foreplay one of my exes would often say "i love your volumptuous body" and every time i would think "oh my god he said volumptuous again but id be a jerk to correct him now so ill just keep it to myself" and then i wouldnt be able to stop being annoyed about it and in my effort to keep pretending to not care i always lost all arousal whatsoever. his mangled phrasing literally prevented me from having orgasms. u could say i had correctile dysfunction.
