xmunk , to No Stupid Questions in How to know you'll turn out trans?

If you have a partner it's the less likely outcome that they'll reject your new gender identity. Gender is a spectrum and we're all a lot more interesting than just what our gender is anyways. Someone who was attracted to you was attracted to a lot more than just your gender expression so, on the whole, rather little about you is changing when you come out as trans.

I am not trans so I can't talk to that realization but I am non-conforming and coming into that identity was mostly a relief. I had to cloak a lot and found myself pretty distinct from a lot of the stereotypes about men - I was married at the time and my partner didn't bat an eye.

But you do realize you jumped the shark into pure medication shaming right?

ADHD people have enough judgement focused on us that we don't need to start shaming each other for tactics that help us on a day to day.

xmunk , to ADHD memes in CONSUME DRUGS TO BECOME NORMAL

I have yet to meet a quantity of drugs that brings me all the way down to "normal" levels. It just makes my ADHD slightly more copeable.

I don't even know why the tagginator comment is necessary since it sounds like the system invisibly works how you'd expect it.

Possibly? I'm open to having taken this the wrong way but to me it sounded like his statement implied that being a moral person and taking medication were incompatible or at least implied that medication makes you less moral.

xmunk , to World News in ‘You can expect everything’: what next for Julian Assange and WikiLeaks?

That's more a comment on how die-hard committed the political class is to perpetual war than anything else.

Also, while I don't appreciate Trump being elected... the DNC seems committed to running some of the worst candidates they can find - the fact that there was information that damaging to Clinton that didn't come out in the primaries is the part we should be mad at.

Eeesh, this feels too close to medication shaming to me - I know we all find different things effective but medication works extremely well for me and I've still got my moral code.

Cold pizza is the best pizza.

People who reheat their pizzas are monsters.

Clearly, it's not ADHDing right. At 3 AM you should start preheating the oven and break out a thirty step recipe to cook a five course meal.

xmunk , to Programmer Humor in Linus Torvalds to Rewrite the Linux Kernel in PHP

I understand your pain - the real reason for that is that PHP was the first "hobbyist" programming language so a lot of self trained folks built websites that ended up slowly morphing into successful businesses.

One of the things I'm actually most proud of from the PHP community is that around 5.2 the maintainers looked around and saw sites like Quora and StackOverflow were littered with the worst fucking PHP advice endorsing functions like mysql_query and ill-advised features like magic_quotes so the community invested a lot of resources in purging answers that preached anti-patterns and replace them with non-terrible answers.

I work in PHP and it's perfectly serviceable now, we've got strict typing, namespaces, lambdas, all the nice shit you'd expect in a modern language.

xmunk , to World News in Iran to designate Canadian army as a terrorist entity

As a cat owner... house cats are definitely terrorists but I love 'em.

xmunk , to Canada in How some federal employees are pretending to work using 'mouse jigglers'

Employment is a mutual arrangement - never be concerned about looking suspicious. Be prepared to explain your choice honestly and stand by the actual work you're producing. Asses-in-chairs style management is toxic and you should push back against it.

Everyone who would see some difference by using a mouse jiggler should use one. If your supervisor is tracking mouse activity they can get fucked. If your machine auto-locks after a fixed number of minutes it can also get fucked.

I'd suggest just installing Caffeine though.

xmunk , to No Stupid Questions in Ticketmaster breach, beaches in general

Class action lawsuits are very rarely lucrative for the harmed party but they often result in sizeable penalties for companies. They're essentially just punitive.

xmunk , to World News in Apple may face a mammoth fine after the EU said it violated competition rules

Is the fine more than a hundred billion? If not it's fucking chump change to Apple.
