CW: internet transphobia and bad feelings

Hate seeing “AFAB vs AMAB” essentialism and “transfems are like this” bullshit even on lefty places like here. I’m probably just being oversensitive and should delete all social media but youtube animal facts. I feel like I can’t trust anywhere on the internet to accept trans people.

We were taught PEMDAS as parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication OR division, addition OR subtraction. I don’t know if it was changed at some point but I don’t know anyone who was taught that multiplication comes before divison

Learn your local spiders. Moved into a house with a ton of spiders, but after learning to recognize them it turned out only Black Widows were dangerous, and they stick to themselves in sheds and don’t bother us

Now as long as they don’t touch me I’m good with spiders. Love this one’s color!

Rust is very complex, in part due to the obsession with zero cost abstraction that leads to caring about lots of edge cases like NonZero types. But at least when I’ve worked with it, a lot of that you can just ignore and write straight forward code, and it’ll still likely be very performant. Although the Rust sort of philosophy vibes with me better, so not all might find that so forgiving.

I did quit using Rust due to its compile times though. Even using dependencies that would advertise fast building like Bevy quickly started taking more than a minute to build (not from scratch, just making one line changes). And during that minute I’d get bored and do something else, and my productivity plummeted.

A lot of these have sources that actively contradict the claim, or are technically correct on the most redditor-esque of ways?

Banana-flavored candy was not intended to mimic the taste of a formerly popular variety of banana. It tastes different from bananas because it is mainly flavored with only one of the many flavor compounds a banana has, isoamyl acetate

Links to this article.

Remember how isoamyl acetate is the chemical compound primarily responsible for banana flavoring? Gros Michel contains more of that compound than the Cavendish. In fact, isoamyl acetate was one of the first chemical compounds used in artificial flavors that was confirmed to exist in the actual fruit as well. So, when you’re biting into a piece of banana Laffy Taffy, you’re getting a taste of the bananas of the past.

Or

It is not illegal in the US to shout “fire” in a crowded theater.

Knowingly false statements of fact are often constitutionally unprotected — consider, for instance, libel, fraud, perjury, and false light invasion of privacy. That would presumably apply to knowing falsehoods that cause a panic.
