Our brand is your identity is really messed up. It's like saying they will assimilate you.

I actually messaged this guy back with why i wasnt accepting. Even told him i asked devRant to be sure it wasn't just my view.
Surprisingly he responded and said thanks for the feedback.

@SidTheITGuy
It's super intriguing to me.... like what's your intended end game here? Do you think Id actually care if some rando anywhere (much less, specifically you) thinks about my appearance? If so, why?

Make-up stuff i know/can do:
Eyeliner //taught by gay friend in theater
Mascara
Coloured chapstick
The plain powder foundation (i think)
Also, cover-up, though not for typical use.

My wardrobe (which is nearly identical to 20+ yrs ago) is mainly boxers, unisex tshirts and pajama pants of mixed, often unknown, origins, socks from dollar tree and/or crane games. I own a few sets of casual/socially passable for most things, clothes, then 2 business suits and 3 formal event female outfits when im required at those things.

Most of my boxers can(do) pass for shorts under a big shirt. Months ago i had to pick up chinese and was comfy in my panda onesie so i just put on(barely zipped) a hoodie. In hindsight i wonder if anyone noticed/thought it was racist.

@SidTheITGuy
1. I actually only have 3 mirrors in my house (not counting the little ones i use as components occasionally or the 1 thats part of a compact mini brush in my purse).
2 are in a bathroom i very rarely use currently cuz im remodeling. 1, which is the closest to a full length (the bar is low) one i have, is in the other bathroom and i keep my house dark af, rarely using a bathroom light.

2. You're adorable. Trying so hard to call me out (or maybe this is an unfortunate attempt as gaslighting?)... yet so immature and lacking creativity (which makes total sense from your content as a whole) that you go with calling me ugly. LOL!

3. I really wanna know what you tell yourself in your head when doing crap like this.

@lorentz early in middle school i used to make/use tons of little regex reformatting scripts for too many things to list. I also wrote/formatted/stored(like fs architecture/scheme) them along the same lines as the notorious Obfuscated C methods. It was (still partially is) my personal brand of encryption fueled by the tennants of Obfuscated C, the spirit/sensibilities of Shakespeare's Puck and the intended applications of CSS.

Clearly, I get bored easily.

@cafecortado follow the locale is pretty vague unless always explicitly setting (and whatever being used actually calling for) the time and date format... and if you think that even 1/3 of all applications use that really easy/simple/basic methodology, please tell me where you get your drugs or who your hypnotherapist is.

@TeachMeCode forgot to mention... "European English" isnt really a thing. Most Europeans with english as a second language tend to use American english. I lean towards British/english english.

@TeachMeCode what part of the multiverse do you live in... or use for your references?

I do use a European date format by default (today is 21.5.24) but since there's more people who are used to other formats, i tend to stick to datetime objects/sql innate timestamp(6) so i can just reformat it for me upon query.

I tend to seriously piss off an American bank or 2 a year and doctor's offices certainly arent fond of my occasional slip ups.

@TeachMeCode all i know for sure is that acc to chatGPT my code is "complex", "advanced" and often legacy... but that's coming from an AI that, when i asked it to add comments, adds new redundant vars, changes my if/if/else blocks to if/elif/else, has no backbone to have a discussion backing itself up... yet often says it's wrong while repeating the wrong as new/right and has some weird fetish for making lambdas everywhere; i despise lambda.

@TeachMeCode normal ant spray/etc wont work. I need to remember to buy a can of wasp killer

@TeachMeCode i always understand code i wrote, fully... except if written during an amnesia episode.

Side note:

I am clueless as to when/what to comment... anyone wanna teach me?

I clicked this cuz it caught my eye from initially seeing "purity" and wondering who the fk was bringing purity(assumed as sexual) on devRant of all places. ...then i see a bunch of mentions of cockroaches and adhd kept breaking me from reading the whole post.

OP, you either are clueless as to your phrasing, or are brilliant and should be working for a big media producer... like a big newspaper or one of those giant click bait ad factories.

Who/why would get a boxed, physically tangible, linux distro?... especially debian?

Is it on a flash drive?

CD-ROM (or DVD) readers arent standard on so many devices nowadays so im assuming it's not a disk... but honestly idfk, im still stunned by physically procuring a linux install boxed media.

@jestdotty i read super fast and get bored very easily. I end up with a bunch of typically useless levels of specificity. like hard drives... as a kid(~7) i wanted to know why it was 1024 not 1000. I got a bunch of books on numbers theories and math (from the local library, saying my dad told me to get them... he never read books, actually bragged about not reading, so there was no risk of him actually being in the library ever).

I ended up learning algebra but still no answer. I asked the question to a librarian. They said maybe it had something to do with hardware. I checked out all the books on computing methods and hardware along with an adjacent book on binary. After reading those i broke open a broken hard drive and snuck into a classroom on the weekend to borrow a microscope so i could see the hard drive and compare to the books.

This is my natural background process. Idk what itd be like if i didn't read so damn fast lol

@jestdotty
Lactase doesnt fix lactose intolerance, it just can be taken as a supplement.

In my experience, know-it-alls tend to be primarily interested in praise from others. I'm genuinely not interested in that... like so much that most people who know me would be laughing at the thought. I really just respond to things on autopilot.

I do know a bunch of shit; it's not at all limited to useful/applicable categories. Most of it is primarily from me getting into situations over my head and/or finding something that annoys me that leads me down a rabbit-hole where i end up learning a bunch of mostly useless things in intense detail.

Seriously, if you think my commentary is meant to show off my depths of knowledge, i wish i could show you my actual knowledge stores... such a low% is at all helpful. By mid 3rd grade i had read through all 3½ sets of encyclopaedias at my school. Some things i avoid like cars and programming for xbox, but everything else i tend to rabbit-hole.

@shovethisrant yeah... but its a really narrow space behind my side view mirror... so not a simple option.

@jestdotty lactase is the enzyme for lactose processing. I use it daily because its less complicated than finding or creating a bunch of non-dairy things i like.

I did actually create an awesome and surprisingly healthy snack thing when i was cleaning out my pantry months ago. Its just quinoa, parmesan and baby spinach... and a lot of seasoning like turmeric, mustard seed, etc. Idk what to call it. Im not typically a fan of quinoa but it's oddly good/addicting in this form. Its like crunchy and crispy, but also looks weird. Technically it could be the sole food someone eats and itd still be balanced fats, fiber, most vitamins, protein, etc.

@jestdotty UX has become what it was implicitly created to be... a very abbreviated version and quality of user experience.

@jestdotty i just didnt edit the screenshot. The blonde female with short hair, face piercings and glasses is me/my pic on LinkedIn. It's a few yrs old; I gotta update it soon... *ugh*

@C0D4 runes? Like nordic ones or black magic? It matters.

@Demolishun old thread but... you can tell they are Indian or not with a very simple test that ive played with for years. I'm so serious im a bool of 1.(totally thinking that should be a t-shirt now). Get a chicken noise soundtrack and play it during the call like it's just normal. So far, 41 out of 43 times if it's a native english speaker they ask about it or just directly mention it... like if they studder a second then apologise for the chicken catching them off-guard. The indian ones just always ignore it. Seriously, extremely high, and hysterical, success rate.

Imo, it's better to insult people by using words they don't know that are still in their native tongue. I learned/did that since at least 1st grade/age 6. Called some boys who made fun of *not me* "bipedal pedestrians". Class rules were: no name calling, no insulting, no swear words. Followed the rules totally, and pissed them off intentionally.

Btw, i know like 7+ languages, including fluent dutch (super out of practice verbally in it so id sound like a drunk/normal german or worse).

Dude... a wasp nest from last year just came back alive. Sprayed the hell outta it last year, assumed itd be dead still.

It's behind the driver's side, side view mirror. I wasnt wanting to drive with my window down. If i have the mirror at a very specific angle the adult wasps I've seen, apparently, can't get out...but im pretty sure they laid eggs. I need to remember to buy wasp spray when im out next.

@TeachMeCode his message to me was that we have some "local overlap" ...claims to be in TX but im assuming that's a lie or he'd realise TX and MI are very far apart lol.

I also find it extra sleezy when someone, esp in 3rd person, mentions their amazing business ethics...

@TeachMeCode this guy added me. I dont live anywhere near TX.

Add an 'i' and middle name Goku.

@lastNick connecting with eccentric rich people and/or people in powerful positions... but im pretty sure that's more of a me thing. I like using LinkedIn to toy with morons claiming their "opinion" is right because they think it is... people have forgotten that there's still a difference between an opinion and a valid opinion. I catch up on some necessary topics and professionally trash talk against invalid opinions.

@TeachMeCode probiotics, like vitamins, are intended as daily use.
