my own imperfect advice for interacting w homeless people, as sum1 who has been homeless and is surrounded by homeless ppl:
always acknowledge them if they talk to you, make every effort to understand them if there is a commumication barrier
if you see them repeatedly, get to know them by name, greet them when you pass, ask if theres anything they need, ask about their day. Be a good neighbour.
have boundaries and know what you are capable and willing to give.
fact: taste is subjective. You may or may not like pickles, and your personal preference is valid
fact: pickles have a strong flavor and it is detectable even in minute qualities
fact: pickles imply pickle juice, which soaks into all of the food.
therefore: if you don't like pickles, any food which has ever been in contact with pickles is ruined for you
Therefore pickles objectively suck
@toffee imagine looking at a cat sitting comfortably on a field of grass. Flowers shifting gently in the wind. You go outside and pet the cat.
This has nothing to do with 3D graphics but I hope it helps
@newt maybe you shouldn't be questioning the abolishment of copyright on the grounds that it's a necessary means for people to make a living, and instead question why people need copyright to _make a living_. Why is the human needs for food and shelter contingent on having a viable business model? Should we infringe upon the individual rights to share information for the sake of making that business model more viable - or should we maybe make sure that people's basic meets are met, period?
So yes, don’t automate your voting systems. You’re trading a little extra work for a loss of accountability, security, and confidence in the democratic process. Plus it might not even work.
Help finding depictions of positive masculinity in media, Please boost
Hey, so it's not too difficult to find games, movies, comics, etc that specifically depict powerful female protagonists and/or trans women because these works tend to specifically be labeled as such.
I have a friend, who is a trans man, that's trying to find works that depict inspiring male role models. He's trying to find works to better help him understand positive masculinity. Does anyone have any ideas?
Python: better typed than you think

It amazes me that once I thought about writing a `Result` type in Python, but I never thought about using `yield` for that (which is what the author did.)
Art project idea:
"Gendered" bathrooms with e-paper signs that change to different arbitrary symbols every day.
Symbol pairs will be chosen so that each day most people will manage to fit in but each day someone else would actually prefer a third/forth/fifth option.
Examples: Star Wars vs. Star Trek, Apples vs. Bananas, Vim vs. Emacs, Triangles vs. Squares, Coffee vs. Tea, …
you get the idea…
Dwarf Fortress has announced that they are working on adding trans dwarves, and they'd have added then already of he hadn't overcomplicated his thinking.
.... last time when he added gay dwarves he rewrote a large chuck of the personality system so that gay, lesbian, ace and bi dwarves would all arise naturally from the system, so that kinda makes sense.
