  • So a lot of Java hate I think is mostly in jest.

    Personally, Java was the programming language that I had to use for my first two years of college. It’s how I learned OOP, data structures, and algorithms. I had to use Eclipse, which at the time was AWFUL (and maybe still is, no idea). I remember it being semi-normal for it to take over a minute to launch on my (gaming) PC.

    Later on, as I learned other languages and got a job, I just haven’t really had a reason to go back to Java, and most of my memories of it are from being annoyed at Eclipse and needing to implement Quicksort in it. I’m sure it’s a great language and I bet it’s a lot better and more convenient now. It’s just kinda trendy and weirdly nostalgic to hate on it in a half-serious way :) .






  • People aren’t celebrating being obese. They’re celebrating being themselves and accepting that they’re more than their body. They’re also saying that it’s possible to be beautiful and desirable even if you’re overweight.

    Fat shaming doesn’t work. People don’t always try to improve themselves when they feel like they’re worthless. Sometimes they do, and you’ll always see some ex-fat person in the comments saying how they needed the shame to improve, but the data doesn’t really support that position.

    I just want people to be able to be happy. I want people to be treated like humans regardless of their looks and weight. That’s the goal of most of these *movements."

    Also… While some extra crazy people out exist that claim that it’s healthy to never move and be over 300 pounds, those people are often cherry picked and used as examples of cultural downfall, even when they’re the minority.










  • Last series was one of my favorites. I guess Sam and Lucy’s derangement isn’t for everyone.

    One thing that I find when I try to rewatch ALL of it from the start is that I usually also start to peeter out after series 7, but if I START there, I love the following series too. I think you can just get a bit burnt out on Taskmaster.

    Also series 7 is just so incredible that it was a bit hard to follow.
