  • Be normal

    BE NORMAL

    just ask them out to get over it quickly and remember that the longer and weirder you make it the more likely you could lose your job in a worst case.

    You’re not Jim and Pam in some slow burn romance. Crushes are for people under the age of 18

    yea

    Hexbear.net having a normal one

    Im os fuckin normls god i love being normaal*

    I dont even know, I just don’t have issues with being creepy around ppl I find attractive or am crushing on or have been dumped by, I don’t have to repeat mantras about “shitting where I eat” and “being normal”

    How is every thread on bear site about this topic like this aaaa im recieving wayy too much psychic damage from this thread relative to how little sleep I have got in last 72 hrs

    *Edit: to be clear, I say this as an AuDHD-haver cuz the “being normal” stuff rly bothers me sometimes cuz it’s so often just veiled ableism, idk what to make of it in this case entirely but yeh






  • “Noooo my restaurant’s website needs to be made of 200 MB of Javascript that you need 10 trillion CPU cycles to decode and turn back into its natural form: like 30 lines of text that go like “Sugar slop - $23.99” but it’s made of like 729 DOM elements that causes screen readers to crash and delete themselves from your hard drive and also reformat your C drive. Clearly you didn’t invest in ChatGPT Pro’s OCR capabilities”

    Return to menu.txt

    Fuck it, if you rly want some structure do <menuitem><name>Sugar slop</name><price>$23.99</price></menuitem>. Some Californian IETF guy driven insane by object oriented metaphysics and macrodoses of substances at Burning Man 1998 worked hard on that schema!!!

    The bourgeois fear actual labor so much they have managed to abstract away so much from… simple machine-parsable languages that some guy can just write once and be done with it’s like we’re back in 1996 with <table> hacking but so much worse performance

    Half the sites I visit now make me crack hashes to get their web proxy to even let me in cuz the bourgeois were not even satisfied with incomprehensible Javascript framework async await (we have forsaken SMP in an era where the CPUs are not getting that much faster despite the best efforts of the Israeli and American MIC drone controller computer engineers to make them even more unreliable and nondeterministic) webscale sludge code, now we have to do vibe coding statistics garbage-in-garbage-out magic (wowww, the products just make themselves, no labor in sight!!!)

  • Yeahhh, I have more mixed feelings on xorlo these days. Likeee I agree with you and ppl were making this argument during the discussion about it in the BPFK but they could not come to a consensus so they made the entire problem irrelevant by redefining the gadri in this way. I think the previous definitions may have had more semantic richness for speakers to take advantage of but at the same time those definitions are on very shaky logical foundations (xorlo is too but it just makes weaker claims lol) and they imply certain metaphysical things (universal objective truths, ideal objects, weird, possibly contradictory stuff about sets, etc). But also taking taking them out means you have to be more verbose if you wanna be less vague cuz there are no implicit quantifiers and the status of other language constructions about “veridicalness” such as the difference between “poi” and “voi” (whether something “really is” something or the speaker is just describing it that way) is uncertain :/ (as far as I know, I didn’t find anything from the BPFK about it with a brief search). Tbh I think it would be way better if we just found some other way than classical semantics for Lojban’s logic cuz I feel like it rly constrains our options (likee if something is or isn’t bear goo according to the Ideal Bear Goo Decider (entscheidungsproblem type stuff) which we assume exists cuz something either really is or really isn’t something under a definition of the something, describing it as the opposite of what it is or isn’t under the previous definitions is just invalid entirely. You can’t even speak it without making an error equivalent to if you just slammed your hands on the keyboard or made some random sounds instead :|)

    I have been using xorlo around other speakers personally for a while now just cuz everyone else uses it ofc :/ I gotta go back over the documentation again sometime to see if it’s worth making everyone else put up with my weird deprecated language quirks lol

    Ty for reading, I hope you liked my yapping :3 I’m likeee mildly delirious rn cuz my wisdom teeth have been trying to kill me this week and sleeping is kinda hard lol sooo I hope this is comprehensible :|
