I'm going drive my humor a little more. Previously I said my pronouns would: he/huh/potato/orc, but that's barely sufficient if I'm aiming to optimal political prowess. Asking my pronouns should be akin to navigating a deeply intricate labrynith of recursive state machines, each pronoun infinitely contingent on a random, ambiguous state. This way, no mortal sentient being could possibly get my pronouns right, ever, under any circumstances. Asking for my pronouns is a guaranteed zero-sum, losing game: the only winning move is not to play (or kicking me in the nuts works too).
... The "joke" isn't as funny as I thought it would be.
I started creating an outline for some guides/tutorial that I'm planning to write. My motativation for this is that writing might help me get a foot in the technical writing. If that fails, I could also try selling the guide on gumroad or something. Worst case scenario is that no one gives a fuck about it, but that doesn't sound too bad since I learned something myself.
Cleaned up my code yesterday. I tried using `loadfile` instead of `dofile` to run page script, so that I could avoid problems with messing up page state when there are concurrent page requests. I reverted my changes though since `require` behaves strangely when inside a loadfile env, the globals couldn't be resolved anymore.
Not a problem I guess. Oh wait, I do think this is definitely not a problem because redbean forks a new subprocess for each page request, so each page request state is isolated.
As usual, I scrolled through HN with my mind on autopilot while sipping coffee. Also, I see bluesky is now open for public. In my own inaccurate description, bluesky is a social network for the purpose of competing and luring existing dissatisfied twitter users.
I don't really use twitter or any social network, but out of curiosity I signed up for bluesky anyway last night on my phone, in the middle of the night.
This morning I scrolled over the "Video game" feeds on bluesky. And... I barely see anything remotely related to video games. For a second, I thought I mistakenly signed up for an esoteric dating site. Of course, the reason for that is because there's an influx of new users coming in, so most of posts are "re-introduction" posts that consists of the following name, pronouns, location, hobbies.
I know when a I see a pronoun preference listed, there's bound to be eggshells scattered everywhere[*]. I've heard of tales where blood filled the streets because a pronoun was mistaken (okay, I made that up). But I will refrain from making any direct remarks with regards to how these people look.
Still, I will note down some (probably wrong) cursory observation. And that is, a lot of those who listed she/her as their pronoun will likely include "gay" in their hobbies/interest, and their strong muscular facial structure indicates a biological male gender. In contrast, people who listed he/him actually look like a normal male person, and not who transcended. My question is, why is that? Or not, I'm too distracted to even make a objective observation. Trying to infer gender based on facial structure is exactly the kind of thing that would pour gasoline over the eggshells, so I don't know why I'm still writing.
Anyways, I noticed some dude listed lemon as his pronoun, and a girl used fae/faer as the pronoun. That's cool, I didn't know you could use any word as a pronoun. Okay, I've decided then, if anyone asks for my pronouns, it would be: he/huh/potato/orc
