Sonic Adventure 2

I would watch this. Maybe something like “SRE Squad” with like a fire department type aesthetic and eagles and flags and butt rock theme song.

I think people from places that use idiographic languages that have to be transliterated probably actually have an easier time with English orthography than people whose language uses a Roman script and is pronounced phonetically. People who are used to puzzling through the layer of abstraction/obfuscation that sometimes ambiguous transliterations will have can see that English orthography is almost always substantially different than its pronunciation.

TL;DR: it’s easier for a Chinese person to learn to read English aloud than a person from Romania, but the European would have studied it in school either somewhat or a lot

Peter made this post before inflation got bad probably but the point stands

Basically there is a stereotype that a lot of trans girls are programmers, and thigh high socks are a stereotype of trans girls along with blahaj ownership as well. There are a lot of chasers on 4chan and some trans folks as well. Therefore some anon shopped a picture of an Amazon listing to say “programming socks” to poke fun at the two stereotypes. People embraced it so much that the socks started showing up on Amazon when you search “programming socks”. As for a specific programming language, I have seen Rust associated with trans women.

I for one don’t think estrogen has made me better at coding at all. I tried to do Rustlings before and didn’t have time to follow through with it, but maybe I should give it another go.

it’s true, lesbian confirmed

the iPad came out a year later

when I was a kid I made a video with my friends where I played Samara from the ring and someone was interviewing me(?) and asked me if I use tampons or pads and I said “neither, I just drink the blood!”

I feel like I should have realized I was trans and autistic earlier

as a trans lady built like wario it depends on how bigoted the other patrons are basically

someone should have stolen this meme for my intro computer architecture course it would have helped

also couldn’t the term mean “jacked” basically? like Plato= Daddy Swole essentially

i was once taught by a guy named Pete Rock and he was the first to tell you that his name means Rock Rock lol

in Spain I went to school on a huge Greyhound/tour bus style bus, the kind with luggage compartment on bottom, big tinted windows and a movie screen up front, the kind that cost like $70 a seat to go between towns in Mexico on. I have no idea how the driver made it through the narrow medieval streets without hitting anything but he managed it, it was quite amazing

Starbucks positions itself internationally as an ultra premium brand. I remember visiting one in Thailand and being astounded that the prices were the same as the USA, just converted to bhat. This meant that a single drink could cost like half a day’s wages for a poor Thai person. I imagine the situation in China used to be similar before wages and purchasing power caught up. Now that consumers in China know enough about coffee to tell that Starbucks is crap, they won’t pay American prices for it any more, and it’s got Starbucks sweating.

lol, Starbucks laments that people actually know about coffee there now.

Nowadays people in China have access to amazingly cheap coffee grinders, because many great ones are made there (DF series, Timemore). Their colonial projects in Africa have resulted in relationships with lots of African coffee farmers. The Chinese province of Yunnan has coffee farming in the mountains and I really want to try some, one of these days. I think burman coffee has some green from there. They also have access to lots of coffee grown in Vietnam where the historical patron client relationship of tribute and suzerainty between the two countries has resulted in lasting coffee relationships. I find that Chinese roasteries I have seen online tend to have a lot of information about their beans published, as well as extensive cupping notes.

Specialty coffee in China is probably a more innovative scene than the West Coast USA one but I don’t have access to everything they’ve got in terms of beans and equipment and vice versa.

proboscis kitty

more power to you m8 that is not so easy. I took intro computer architecture with one of the guys who wrote the manual for the first x86 processors at Intel and I still had a hard time

this is why I brew espresso with bottled water. Scale will really fuck it up. I make pour overs with my approx 200 TDS local tap swill though because I’m a basic bitch

Shit, I remember when my machine couldn’t handle compiz fusion and this demo made me jealous. We’ve come a long way.
