Proud NYer forced to flee by 🍊🤡. Professional circus freak, fire bender, and software engineer (🚫AI). She/her

  • Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?

    Jump

  • I'm from the US but left to live outside it. I will NEVER FUCKING EVER call myself an American, much less a proud American. I'll call myself a NYer because I owe most of who I am to that state/city, but I am ashamed about the country I grew up in and absolutely do not want to be associated with it. The US government has only ever caused me and my people harm.

  • Do you know of any tools for translating words into one of several languages in real time like a code completion drop down?

    Jump

  • It's gonna be especially difficult since languages rarely have a perfect one to one translation

  • Why do some people try to humanize the wealthy and people in positions of power?

    Jump

  • I'm perfectly ok with dehumanizing literal flag waving Nazis. I give them no quarter. If a Nazi fell into the train tracks in front of me, I would just walk away.

  • What all would you pack into a mini portable first aid kit?

    Jump

  • Moleskin is also a great way to fix pokey underwire bras

  • Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?

    Jump

  • What millennial doesn't have a death wish right about now. We were left to die by the previous generations and have gone through how many once in a lifetime events now?

  • What all would you pack into a mini portable first aid kit?

    Jump

  • I keep it for treating needle and stapler wounds which are rather small, but that's also an unusual use case. It's honestly inferior to regular bandaids if a wound is still bleeding. You'd probably be fine without it, I just find it more convenient than sticking bandaids everywhere.

    I've easily found it in both the US and Canada, it's usually about $10 a bottle

  • What all would you pack into a mini portable first aid kit?

    Jump

  • I highly recommend getting a set of nice tweezers in there if you can. I use mine way too fucking much. It's necessary for things like splinters and ticks, and overall just very useful for various reasons.

    I forgot to add, Benadryl is a good thing to have as well in case of allergic reactions. Also keep some emergency contacts in there.

    Jump

  • I'm not personally a sword swallower like the other guy said, but many of my friends are. Personally I use fire, staples, needles, nails, power tools, and knives a lot on stage. It's a weird artform but we (at least the professionals) take things like hygiene and biohazards seriously.

    It used to be called freak show in the past. It still is but the term has died out a little bit.

  • What all would you pack into a mini portable first aid kit?

    Jump

  • I'm a sideshow performer, and I bring one to every show. Mine has:

    • Bandaids in multiple sizes
    • Liquid bandaid
    • Alcohol wipes
    • Neosporin
    • Sometimes aloe or burn gel if I'm doing fire (packets are best but hard to find)
    • Tweezers

    I keep mine small for portability, but you can always add on (gauze, medical tape, splints, absorbent pads, etc). They also sell first aid kits at most pharmacies of various sizes that can be easily refilled after.

  • Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with?

    Jump

  • Most apartments I've lived in (2 people and a dog) fall into the 500-1000 sqft range. I'd say 1500-2000 is plenty big for all but the largest families. If you're optimizing for space, I'd say start with a baseline of around 500 then add 250 per person?

    Conversion: 1000sqft = 93sqm

  • What is known or said about moonbeams?

    Jump

  • They cause werewolves to revert if they fail a Constitution saving throw

  • What happened to nuance discussion?

    Jump

  • In the context of politics, billionaires have radicalized half the world into thinking that talking about ending certain livelihoods is just as valuable as talking about ways to improve life for your neighbors. It is black and white, there is no middle ground discussion on whether or not vulnerable populations deserve the right to exist

  • What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, it results in a dependency tree that resembles the tangled power lines in Bangladesh. Especially when half the code base is written by new devs using GAI and there isn't a design doc in sight

  • What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?

    Jump

  • I got forcefully moved onto another team at work. They use Observables to replace signals, change detection, local storage, and even function calls. Every single component is a tangled mess of Observables and rxjs. Our hotlist has over 300 bugs, and the app is like 6 months old.

    I've been looking for a new team

  • Typical New Yorker (city, that is)

    The majority of NYCers live with 3 roommates and are still unable to pay rent. The guy in OP's post does not represent most NYers. 1%ers like that are the bane of the city

  • What show is weirdly or oddly cozy for you?

    Jump

  • Bondage

  • What are some things you put a ton of effort & work into, but it pays you $0, and you wish there could be some reward for all your hard work?

  • I've been writing free D&D homebrew for over 10 years. I occasionally use it in my own games and some other people in the community do use it, but it's rare and generally thankless. If anyone wants to poke a look, here's two examples:
