    Originally posted by mmQ Yeah but the usual length of one of your posts equals the length of like 5 normal shitty one liners, at least. You have to consider that part too.

    That reminds me...

    One of the things I wanted to analyze now that I have archived the entire NiS site, is post length to post count ratios.

    Also, mmQ, I should be able to have your word cloud ready pretty soon.

    I'm just parsing the files I've already downloaded into raw post data.

  5. 2019-03-13 at 3:28 AM UTC in Question for females regarding sexual harrassment..
    gadzooks Dark Matter [keratinize my mild-tasting blossoming]
    Originally posted by mmQ For example, if a stranger came up to you and hugged you, would you feel harrassed?

    I could see how one might "feel" harassed in such a scenario, but if they were to actually call the cops and try to have the dude convicted of a crime, I'd say she's an absolute cunt.

    Originally posted by mmQ Or if they kissed your cheek? (We had kiss-o-grams in HS where people could send kisses to other people and it was essentially that- a stranger kissing your cheek with bright red lipstick, without your permission.)

    From a legal standpoint, one could actually turn this into a criminal case, sadly.

    I remember reading about some 4th grader or something going up and kissing some girl on the playground at school, and there was an Internet "feminist" rage storm as a result.

    Originally posted by mmQ Or what if they scratched your head real quick and moaned while doing it?

    I think this is one of those cases where the woman would be weirded out, and (perhaps justifiably) feel harassed...

    But it would be difficult to prove in court that it was sexually motivated.

    Originally posted by mmQ Or showed you their penis one time real quick.

    Now that one... Most women would consider that harassment.

    Me personally? I call it a friendly greeting.

    Personally, I'd rather deal with dope sickness than a guilty conscience.

    They both feel shitty*, but one is transient, the other permanent.

    * Assuming the individual in question has a conscience, but that might be assuming a lot.

    Gadzooks' DIY Programmer/Developer Curriculum

    Basic programming concepts and syntax

    My personal recommendation is to go with Python. And, of all the things I'm going to recommend in this post, that is the one I most firmly believe in. Python is an absolutely beautiful language in that it is incredibly human readable, and involves a lot less boilerplate than a lot of the older languages (C++, Java, etc).

    If you prefer to learn from videos, start with this series:
    https://pythonprogramming.net/introduction-learn-python-3-tutorials/

    I have not watched that particular series, since the creator (sentdex) has apparantly updated his playlists quite substantially since I was last viewing them. However, if this series is anything like the original series he had up on "introduction to python", then it's like very decent.

    If you want another series (either instead of the above, or in addition to – it's not a bad idea to learn the same material from multiple different sources, because it will make you see some similar concepts from other material that didn't make sense the way they explained it, but suddenly does when explained differently):
    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGLfVvz_LVvTn3cK5e6LjhgGiSeVlIRwt

    And another interesting video from the latter YouTuber that is absolutely awesome for review (but NOT for a beginner), is the following:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4mEzFDjqtA

    If you'd rather use a book/ebook, a commonly suggested one is this:
    https://learnpythonthehardway.org/

    I, personally, did most of my learning from video tutorials. That, and a whole lot practice and trial and error in the pursuit of hobby projects that interested me enough to motivate me to keep learning.


    Web Applications

    Next, you're going to want to learn about web applications.

    I personally recommend using the Flask library for Python. There's also Django, but Flask is a lot simpler (it involves less boilerplate code, for instance).

    This YouTuber has a lot of videos on Flask, but I'd recommend starting with this series:
    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXmMXHVSvS-AjwTOtiW1DXFYTgUlrUmHV

    There is a lot more to web applications, including deployment, security, understanding HTTP requests and the REST framework, and a bunch more. I might do a separate write up on some of that stuff later.

    Data structures, Algorithms, and Computational Complexity / Optimization

    Eventually, you're going to want to learn about different data structures as well as algorithms. And then optimization goes hand in hand with data structures and algorithms. Basically, optimization is about using the most efficient data structures and algorithms for the task at hand.

    There's a lot to learn about these topics, and I don't want to burden you right now with them. But just be aware that they will become important later.

    That's the consensus.

    17.

    So does that mean that if two teenagers, one just turned 17 today, the other turns 17 tomorrow, have sex, one is a pedophile and the other a victim?

    Up to a point, though.

    Cells age much in the same way entire organisms age.

    And our ability to regenerate cells depends entirely on the type of cell, the health of the entire organism, as well as the health of the surrounding organ and other tissues.

    DAMNIT Y U HAVE TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW...

    I want to type out a personalized response to truly motivate you to overcome whatever transient/impermanent issue is plaguing you right now, but I'm all kinds of fucked up on dozens of chemicals so I can't do it right.

    All I can say at the moment is...

    DON'T. FUCKING. DO IT.

    If anything, at least give me a chance to sober up and I can help you.

    There's literally always a solution to any problem.

    I personally called every single intergalactic bus station and issued a code red.

    No buses means no death.

    You literally, physically, cannot board any bus, since they aren't running right now.

    Give it some time.

    I'll be back tomorrow morning with a clear head and I'll drop wisdom bombs that can fix anything. It's what I do.

    Hang in there.

    Originally posted by Obbe I think that is something separate from consciousness as it is defined in Julian Jaynes theory. I imagine ants and mice probably have some level of awareness of their world, but I doubt it is anything like consciousness as we experience it. As far as I am aware mice and ants lack the vocabulary required to create an inner mind-space.

    But the problem (or at least, one part of the problem) is the whole issue of when in our evolutionary history did we evolve this inner mind-space?

    When "cavemen" were grunting at each other while pointing to indicate "over there", were they experiencing inner mind-space?

    I am a devout Pastafarian.

    I have been touched by His (Sauce Be Upon Him) noodly appendage, and have since dedicated my life to the church of the holiest of dieties.

    If you worship any other (false) prophet, you will one day have to face your maker in the big Italian cuisine in the sky.

    Are you actually challenging him to go out and commit an act of pedophilia?

    Wouldn't that be entirely counterproductive to your cause?
