A proper fucker

I'm the exact opposite: when I was still coding for work, that was when the curses flowed forth like a majestic waterfall, but I've always loved working on my own projects and don't mind adversity and mistakes at all

I grew up in a bit of a sketchy neighborhood and up until my mid 20's all my jobs were the sort where everybody cursed a lot, plus Finns tend to curse a lot in general.

I absolutely have not kept my cursing out of repositories, although looking at my last work project which had about 33000 lines all in all (maybe 2/3 written by me) when including comments, I was surprised to find it only 4 had "shits" and 6 "fucks". One line in an example & test file had both:

	zap.NewExample().Sugar().Errorw("welp, shit's fucked",
		"IsBadRequest", IsBadRequest(err),
		Field(err))

and then there's some comments like

// - turn the unsafe.Pointer into a *[8]byte, allowed due to unsafe pointer fuckery

// FIXME: this is just to make cli tool usage easier. It's a horrible fucking hack and should be
//  nuked from orbit

// FIXME: get rid of all this gorilla legacy bullshit. Could start by getting rid of the needless
// Interface type

Recluse houses are better for debaucherous parties of all types anyway.

All houses are great for debaucherous parties of all types! Your neighbours may not agree but they need to loosen up, maybe join one of those debaucherous parties for once

Shove a palantir up your pooper

I've had that happen to me in a couple of pretty obscure cases, fuck it's irritating. "WHAT SECRET KNOWLEDGE DO YOU HOLD, YOU FUCK‽ TELL US"

Take your damn upvote

Some people can change.

I congratulate you on becoming a better person, but I've given up trying to educate conservatives. Every single conservative I personally know has only gotten worse over the years, and the last straw for me was when I had one who self-identifies as a "moderate conservative" flat out tell me that he wishes gender and sexual minorities didn't exist, and that he thinks the mere existence of these minorities is "polarizing" and makes him feel uncomfortable.

So yes, while I fully acknowledge that it's possible for conservatives to unfuck themselves and that being dismissive of them definitely won't help, I'm just so past trying to be the better person when all I get back is shit like thinly veiled wishes for a "final solution". I'm so fucking tired of the onus being on progressives for trying to make conservatives better people, when so many of them want to literally murder us queers

Edit: I realized I know one conservative who did actually become a good person eventually. He used to be a straight-up neo-Nazi too (and I'm not being hyperbolic here, he actually self-identified as one) which makes it all the more impressive

Why would I change your mind‽

If they were capable of being educated they wouldn't be a conservative bigot in the first place

Ha yeah, just about anything is better than the current status quo
