@bcallah I could use it. I learned to program using Modula-2, and while it is not a great language for writing serious programs with, I found it a great learning tool.

@ElMichel ¡Cochino hembrismo radical! Hasta las suegras tienen un día, pero los cuñados, ¿qué? Nasti de plasti. Algunas pensarán que no merecemos ni vivir.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad Here you go:

Avoid reading the plot, though. It's spoilery.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad Have you seen _Angel Heart_? It's been years since I last watched it, but I remember to have enjoyed it.

@kingu_platypus_gidora@octodon.social Same here. Whenever they asked: “Do you use package X?”, my answer was always: “No.” “What package manager do you use?” “What's that?”

I just think using (add-to-list) and (require) is easy enough. Why would I need package managers?

The only thing I miss is better elisp documentation. I'm currently writing a major mode and my best source of info is other people's code.

@alberto Yeah, I guessed so by the title. Studies have been yielding the same results for years, but what I wanted to point out with my original post was the blatant sexism behind the idea that women need role models to be able to choose certain career paths, as if they were not smart, prepared or inform enough to choose the one that they like by themselves.

Can you imagine someone saying: “Most men don't choose to be kindergarten teachers because they don't know that they can be as good as women at that. They just need role models.”? To be honest, I'd feel insulted if someone did.

@worldsendless Did anybody else download their results and saw they were all empty?

@alberto Actually, there are no tigers in Africa. (I think.) But the line is still funny nonetheless.

@alberto

> she couldn’t escape the fact that there were still “primarily white males sitting at the top” of many of the best-known companies.

White males? In Denmark?

@dlawlesshardware Maybe boys and girls require different learning styles? I don't know. I don't have the answer to that. As a young boy, school didn't really work for me for reasons other than having to sit in a chair for six hours a day. The thing is, all children (boys and girls) need and should be given an education. That's as far as my knowledge goes in that regard.

But the point I wanted to make was smaller and simpler than that. I just think it's pretty stupid to believe that you can force parity in certain jobs by using role models or anything of the like, or that someone will like X just because you do. My father worked for a bank and I never wanted to do the same, even though _he is my role model_.

Some people (both boys and girls) like tech, and some do not. And you can't force them into liking what they don't. So, if we agree on this, why do we feel the need to segregate by sex when trying to get them interested in certain fields? If you're going to do the same job, why do you need a different role model? Why do you even need one at all? It's a pretty stupid idea. And backwards.

What if you want to do something new, something no one's done before? If women need role models, that means only men can do that, right? Only men can innovate, only men can be discoverers, only men can be pioneers, _only men can be role mo..._ Wait...

My point is this: there's no need to reach parity in every job. Why does no one see a problem in the day care sector, where women are maybe 90% of the workforce, if not more? Or in the coal mines, where there are barely any women? Or in deep sea fishing? It's always politics, tech and C-level jobs, for some reason.

Why does no one care about women now being a majority of the students in college in every specialty (with the gap growing every year) when not that long ago it was a concern that they were a minority? Shouldn't we be worried about how schools leave boys behind?

Is it that hard to understand that different people have different interests? I got into computers because when I was a child I got an MSX2 machine and I thought it was cool, but neither my parents nor anyone close to me was remotely knowledgeable about computers. I had no role models and no one could teach me shit.

FF some thirty-something years: my nephew, who is crazy about videogames, is completely useless when it comes to computers. I've never seen anyone get so nervous when it comes to typing anything in a terminal. And he has me to teach him. He just doesn't like it, and that's ok.

I work in fields related to nurse training and I detect a lack of teenage boys. I don't know why, but after a certain age they disappear. I think one of the causes is the lack of male role models in the nursing field, or adult male nurses to look up to or empathize with.

But, seriously, stop referring to center-right, pro-establishment organizations as left-wing, please.

Beautiful. One of the founders of Occupy Democracts was the founder of Tribel. The whole scam makes sense now:

@pre I think it's not a matter of having to like the video, but just interacting with the post. I assume it has to do with saving resources. If you're not interested enough to go into the thread view, like it or repost it, why should it waste bandwidth on it?

That said, I'm not sure nor an expert. That's just my experience.

@birdulon Do they realise that, after some time, the harmonica will be equally jarring? Also, PAX is not a novel word. It means ‘peace’ in Latin. Having it capitalised doesn't make it novel. And ‘spleem’ makes me uncomfortable, like an outsider who doesn't belong there, because I don't know what it means. Moreover, the fact that it doesn't make me smile makes it even worse, because I'm aware that it's not triggering in me the expected response, so I'd wonder: “Is there something wrong with me? This is stupid.”

TribelSocial: I want to be the competition to Twitter, but for some reason I feel the need to have a Twitter account.

Serious question: Did Facebook or Twitter ever have a MySpace or LiveJournal account?
