Your sexual fantasies are nothing to be ashamed of. Because that's all they are, fantasies. There's no need to feel bad for doing something that hurts no one. Have you considered seeing a therapist? If there's one near you that is, it's not super original advice but it couldn't hurt at least. It might not feel like much right now, but the fact that you managed to get through such traumatic circumstance is incredible in and of itself. Especially since, you're still keeping an eye towards the future. It's okay if you don't feel your best right now, just try and focus on making the next step. Also, if it's not too late, I could maybe help out with some of your assignments? I'm not like super smart but I'm confident I can help a bit. Godspeed

I do wonder how many people got their first spark in making music through these recorder classes. I figured that'd be the main purpose, introduce kids to a form of art they might later develop a passion for, which would make it pretty much ineffective as I believe most people passionate about music didn't catch if from recorders.

But apparently, it's to teach kids how to read music which makes a lot more sense now that I think about it but still feels like something some English guy decided was part of a well-rounded education and nobody's bothered to question it since.

I'm not saying that reading music isn't important or anything just that it's use is probably much more limited to professional spaces since the advent of recording devices, music notation is still pretty kick-ass though and I see why someone would still want it as part of the curriculum.

Personally, I think it'd be really fun if music classes could use apps like GarageBand or something- that way you could use whichever instrument you prefer and also play around with things like pitch and stuff so it'd have this sense of exploration. But, even aside from cost concerns there's already issues with how digitized educations so I'm not sure taking away analog instruments is really the best idea

This reminds of when I forgot my laptop password for like a day. I had already installed a new distro and somehow just typed in the old password on pure muscle memory

(so(its(lisp(then))))

what are your opinions on the newer lisp-like languages (clojure, janet, e.t.c)?I've heard people say they aren't real LISPs cause they don't reduce to cons cells, feels like a pontless distinction to me but I could be missing something.

yay, now I have another tool for my compulsive song categorisation. Am I the only who gets confused by metal genres? Feels like all the bands I listen to are either classified as: metalcore, prog metal or both. And what about alt-metal, is that like another name for prog?

That's pretty fucking neat

Holy Shit, that must have been gnarly. What was it even used for? Did they at least allow you to define helper functions?

The first time LinkedLists clicked for me was almost magical. I was reading Skiena's Algorithm Manual and that was honestly the best possible introduction

Isn't it? It's so simple but I also like the curly-brace shorthand C-like languages use.

That's so cute actually. I'm imagining something like "Ivan Inkling buying 20 oranges from Chris P. Bacon but Bacon is worried that some of his oranges are radiactive worm eggs. If the probability of as orange being an egg is 0.2 what is the probabilty that Ivan really bought twenty oranges"

so far it's just: "fuckee", "gynephillic", "supernal" and "crushembolic". Though I must have misheard the last one cause I can't find it anywhere

 

I love keeping lists about any and everthing. I have lists about: movies I want to watch, song lyrics, cool phrases or new words, e.t.c. What do your consider to be your favourite or most interesting lists
