@ThatDude whoa. Dude, you know too much! Get off devrant once in a while. Do you know what colour the sky is?
-
No, those would be our supreme overlords Igor and Grischka Bogdanoff.
Get woke. -
Wack63107yAnd here I am. Well kind of. Most of the times. The only thing I'm introvert is getting somewhere first and waiting for people in every other kind of way I'm pretty extrovert. Did I mention: fuck steriotype?
-
Wack63107y@byte-me btw. First of all: love your name. It's awesome!
Second, in what country do you live? We're probbably able to tag a few nerds from there. -
@Wack Thanks! And you're lucky that you can keep it cool around people.
If you did that, I'd ruin it in minutes. So, no need! -
@marthulu hey, what's the history about The Hague being called 'The' Hague? Why's there an article prefixed?
Is there like only one Hague? How's it special? I never understood that... -
I am definitely an extrovert, very happy to hear we might be going to a co-working space.
Though extrovert doesn't mean socially comfortable. Also don't think it's either binary or mutually exclusive. -
@byte-me It's funny, the Dutch way of writing it isn't really translatable I think so I'm curious why they put the 'the' in. 'den' is not 'the' as far as I know
-
@byte-me It is perhaps because it was a noun once, maybe in an ancient dialect, an then got used as the name of the place because it was a noun that describes it well. This is quite frequent here in southern France ("the" being translated as "le")
-
@Hedgepig what co-working space? O.o ... Also aren't extroverts socially confident/comfortable people by definition?
-
@byte-me yea it was called 'de haag' which means the forest. so indeed a noun @oscarascal. if you want to make it really complicated, they call it 's-Gravenhage sometimes to make it sound more posh. that translates to 'the forest of the earl of holland' or something haha.

-
@linuxxx @oscarascal so, yeah.. it says they kept the name based on mediaeval usage.
Also, interestingly, if the name indicates plurality like a collection of mountains, islands they use the article.
TIL. Thanks! -
@sain2424 what's his secret? Bots? Fake accounts? Or are they really hard earned? Should we start investigating this?
-
sain24243097y@byte-me @ThatDude takes devRant seriously. You can see him participating in almost every rants.

@byte-me depends on definition I guess.
The definition I know really lies in a sort of social energy. So an introvert might gain energy from being with themselves or just one close friend, whereas extroverts enjoy large crowds of friends/acquaintances and get energy from that.
So someone could be an introvert, but socially outgoing, so they are comfortable socialising, but recourperate their energy alone. I am socially somewhere in the middle so not super outgoing, but not super awkward, but on the whole a big extrovert as I usually feel energised being around people. -
