@platypus 🌝

God I hate their fake fast food Jesus shit they play

Your posts suggest you're definitely almost a kid

@theabbie what is it with you and calling people kids today while everyone is posting the same crap over and over as x number of years ago ? contribute something different.

@MadMadMadMrMim You shouldn't be arguing about quality content, atleast.

@theabbie this is like a retarded perverse version of the ussr.

So this is why there are so many boys in CS and EE. I guess it is easier when someone else does your homework. Us girls, we put in the work.

@theabbie @NickyBones helping nature no matter which branch ,🤍 Respect Girls

@NickyBones must say I like it when women work for me

It’s a joy to see them where they can do the most good in the present scheme of things

Especially given the nature of people in the last 20 years I’d say most people end up precisely where they should be excepting these last 4 years or so

@MadMadMadMrMim I also like it when women work for me, because I know they actually did the work and not outsourced it to a prostitute.
It's really a waste of time when you do code reviews with men who didn't write it. Then you have to call the prostitute and pay her another 50$, and it makes you wonder why are you even paying these useless guys. Better to just hire prostitutes to do the programming.

@NickyBones lol!

@NickyBones it’s amazing how far having a sense of humor gets a person hehe and being able to hang

@NickyBones And then you realise why you didn't get the prostitutes in the first place: because your pay is so shitty that they rather went for paid fucks, and you're left with the guys who don't have that option because male sex has no market value, except for very handsome guys who have the amazing ability of getting hard where no man got hard before (they did have whales in ST...).

Wow this is one Strange comment section

@Fast-Nop oh male sex has value when they look like a 18 year old Tom cruise and come with a female lol

@NickyBones then why do so few women understand the point of riding on top is so you can rub your clit against him?

Top is underrated.

"Powerbottom" is a misnomer for second place.

Tio is like rely race: your the first leg of the race, and everyone's counting on you. You dont personally get to cross the finish line (or maybe you do lol) but you get to enjoy watching your team mate reach the finish line because YOU got them there.

Maybe I'm just a narcissist.

@NickyBones i do wonder how many imposter girl peogrammers there are out there in the wild. I've worked woth many women who programmers and never found an imposter.
Men, however, i have had the "pleasure" to work with a few. Granted, they didnt last long though.

@Wisecrack Yeah sex is some weird shit... sometimes, it takes two minutes - and sometimes, it's really fast. Same as debugging.

@bioDan I know one woman who is absolutely useless and works as algorithm developer. But she writes Matlab so I don't even think she qualifies as a programmer. All the other girls I know are solid.

I think men have more pressure on them to pursue high paying career, and in many countries programming and engineering pays very well. So for this reason you see more men who have no passion for craft.

@Wisecrack Why are you tagging me? That's a hardly a conversion to have on programming website, with a complete stranger.

@NickyBones because I am irreverent and conversations like that are 100% kosher to me. Easy to forget other people aren't as open.

@NickyBones there is also that the united states is a mess where all the people of extremely abnormal dispositions aside and our hollow mostly criminal economy, the major cause for debate is how tense things have been between the sexes for a long time to the point of actually encouraging some of the 'abuses' while other things were boy that cries wolf entirely.

sigh i wish i had a g/f or a hooker like the one in the picture above who'd give me a deal on bingewatching television shows and running on the treadmill and play a motivation game with me.

@MadMadMadMrMim I don't know if there is really that much tension between the sexes, or it's just the media creating trashy clickbaits and repeatedly giving the stage to extremists.
YouTube has been bombing me with awful recommendations about how to be a "traditional woman" and how "High value men" will never be interested in me because I'm an engineer and can pay my own bills.But I don't think it's the reality - what I got from DevRant is that a lot of dudes would be happy to date a women dev (if she is a decent human being).

@NickyBones social media recommendations are designed to polarize nations because it drives loneliness and alienation. And both of those sentiments lead to people spending more time and money on the services driving the alienation.

@NickyBones well therein that is the issue.

in the past there were alot of trouble makers period and unfortunately some high proportion of them were women, and there still are honestly.

the tension can be seen in the usa anywhere that it is 'traditionally' as of 2008. heh.

the change I see occurring beyond everything being a literal joke here now is how said clickbait etc is clearly demonstrating message burnout, as people are taught by example more and more to see everything as a joke.

but I dunno man there is a generation of women still in circulation who would literally try to bait men so they could fuck with their heads and get them in trouble. i dunno about the younger gen. all i tend to see in them is literal whores most of the time and damaged people overall. its difficult to find people who really live anymore like i did.

as to dating a female engineer. yeah i wouldn't mind that at all with the aforementioned decent person part.

I guess as a man you are more inclined to notice women troublemakers, and I am more inclined to notice men troublemakers. We remember things that made us angry or hurt.
With the exception of a few absolute creeps, my interactions with men are mostly ok, sometimes even very pleasant. So learning by example, there are good people and bad people, and we need to hone our skills to avoid the bad ones.
As a woman, I can reassure you that there are enough men out there who make women miserable as well. But again, as a man you don't experience the pain women suffer from men, and I don't experience the pain you felt from women. But it is important that we both acknowledge none of the sexes is living in paradise with no problems.

@NickyBones actually pretty sure someone commented on you not being a great person and i was the one who made the decent person comment originally.

that aside why the fuck can't standard libraries can't be decided on in one format and why are you people wasting everyones time ?

@MadMadMadMrMim It might be that I am not a great person :) it's really hard to judge yourself objectively.
My issue is too many funded research projects not supporting ROS noetic or ROS2, and then telling me to make a PR and fix it. WTF.

@NickyBones do not know any of those acronyms
I feel my most recent struggles are a midlife dev learning new tool sets that’s don’t compile correctly and trying to determine which one is best for his purposes or which purposes

I’m kind of pissed I’ve had not cause to be completely proficient in c/c++ but I know c# and JavaScript so.. can at least fix things enough to make some builds

The rest is all reading the Rosetta Stone heh

And that was a repeat Nicky

@MadMadMadMrMim ROS is robot operating system, which isn't a real OS, more of a middleware. You can't do anything related to robotics without it. It's C++ based, and a nightmare.

@NickyBones I just remembered being young and alive before these morbid fucks so many people on here are connected to fucked the whole world up visibly enough for me to notice.

It's still going on. 🍿

@MadMadMadMrMim get a doctor to prescribe you some weed.

You definitely need it fren.

@NickyBones Paying your own bills - I wouldn't have dated any woman who wouldn't be able to do that. There was a time where that was normal, like two generations ago, but with the divorce laws changing, a no-income woman turned into a serious liability.

Technically, no-income men would be the same kind of liability for earning women, but women are mostly unwilling to partner down in the first place so that this just doesn't happen that often.

@Fast-Nop I agree with you. I think also today one paycheck is just not enough to support a family in many places, so you need two incomes anyways. Also with how fickle the work market is - it's not like you start working in a union at 18 and have a stable job until you retire...
I see "dating down" as more complex than just money. If a guy has a meaningful job that doesn't pay too well (teacher, nurse, mechanic, etc.) I wouldn't care he earns less than me. On the other hand, if a guy makes a lot of money from scamming old people and selling them shit they don't need - big NO. That's dating down morally.

@NickyBones Yeah, a somewhat lesser income while still having a proper job is fine. I was thinking of people with useless "studies" and hence, no job.

These sorts of unprofitable studies used to be popular with women some decades ago, and the idea was to use the uni as marriage broker. That tied into the role model back then because the point was to get hold of men with profitable studies and become a well-educated partner and mother.

However, it doesn't make sense with today's role model, and the problem is that not all women have gotten the message, or failed to understand the original plot to begin with. Then you have folks with useless studies demanding an equal partnership - WTF.

As for the "moral down-dating" - sure. People without any moral compass are not trustworthy so that there's no basis for a relationship. They will probably get what they deserve, i.e. "gold diggers". You could regard that as karma.

@Fast-Nop I agree there are a lot of degrees with no work prospect later, and I certainly noticed girls from weird faculties coming to study in the EE library to get noticed by the guys.
Within the useful degrees there are some that are considered more 'feminine' like chemistry, biology and medicine and in my uni these faculties were dominated by girls. But EE for example is considered more "masculine" and has almost no girls. A lot of girls are afraid of being labelled as "manly" by society, so they choose softer subjects.
When I did my B.Sc, it was automatically assumed that any girl in mechanical engineering was a lesbian....

@Fast-Nop I have unironically seen gold diggers *happily* married.

If it lasts, it lasts, better not to begrudge people what happiness they get out of it.

@NickyBones That's a pretty massive step backwards compared to 30 years ago, thanks to identity politics.

Back then, we also had only few women in EE and Mech, more in chemical and civil engineering (still only around 25%), but those who were in EE/ME were regarded as belonging there because otherwise, they wouldn't have been there.

And you'll remember that story of a female co-worker who held a major in math - quite unrelated to the job at hand, but we all had been scarred by four semesters of math. Everyone just figured that being bright enough to study that stuff full-time would automatically qualify her to do whatever we did.

@Fast-Nop I was told by my calculus professor that EE is not for women, in front of many people (I came to ask him a question about the material during the break, and there were many guys sitting around). I reported that to my faculty advisor and he coldly informed me that if I don't like it there, I can leave to something that is more suitable like Chemistry. So I can't say I got a feeling I belong.
But assholes are part of life so I cried a bit in the bathroom and moved on.
The issue that I feel is more prominent, is that as a girl you feel like you become undesirable to guys if you choose EE/CS/ME, and for young women who still base a lot of their self esteem on the opposite sex, that's a huge problem.

@NickyBones Woah, that's a blow indeed, and completely unprofessional from both the prof and the advisor.

As for attractivity - going into these studies mean female students have ample of choice, in particular at technical unis without medicine and liberal arts departments. Not least because tech studies are hard and don't leave that much time for partying around elsewhere.

On top of that, studies like these are about finding solutions to problems, and that's a general trait that men usually find attractive - as opposed to only talking about issues without ever tackling them.

@Fast-Nop So far, I met two types of men and it was very binary. Men like you who look for a teammate and want the woman to have skills and contribute. And men who feel like their masculinity is defined relatively to their partner, so problem solving, financial abilities and independence in women are actually threatening to them because they no longer have their traditional role.

At uni, my male colleagues were extremely competitive with me, to the point where one of them did a retake exam just because I score 2 points (out of a 100) more than him. Back in the day I was offended, and I thought I was like the "lowest bar" for them, that they must surpass. But today it just seems silly.

@NickyBones That's indeed something I handle differently. I just do my own thing and don't care whether it's masculine or whatever.

Already at your age because by then, I had seen enough real shit in life. I found hyper-masculine young men enerving and childish - probably their attempt at papering over their own petty insecurities.

That thing with re-taking an exam is pretty laughable. I did that only once, and then not because of others, but my prep had been lazy, and I figured that I could do better than bare minimum passing grade with my next try.
