tonic water is further from water than vitamin water is. fizzy water means exactly 1 thing: carbonated, plain water

that’s rather untrue. sugar is actually very addictive, and the quantity in soft drinks (they have additives that make them actually palatable - without they’d be so sweet you couldn’t drink much) makes them particularly problematic

strings? ints? floats, arrays, HASHMAPS? so inefficient… just directly access memory!!!

i’m going to add something that isn’t really visited a lot in this context: how gay culture deals with this

i find gay men are often a lot more open with this kind of thing than the straight world. we’re quite a bit more promiscuous, kiss each other on dance floors right after meeting, etc. we have a lot more non-verbal cues that imply consent too…

mutual glances and grins across a dance floor leads to moving closer, compliment them on their clothes/hairstyle/etc, that might lead to more questions about where they got it, conversation with their friends - kinda join their group for a bit and then nobody is left out… we tend to ask for socials rather than a phone number: phone number implies date, socials is just “you’re cool” so nobody is upset: they can all give you socials and worst case you have a few new friends

that said, in gay culture you’re equally likely to just go straight from that to back home with them because we place more importance on doing what’s fun rather than needing to worry so much about if the guy is safe to be alone with - we have grindr etc after all

as a software engineer that watches too much youtube, this is the first time it’s clicked for me:

If the train moves at the speed of light, then nothing inside it will move because time will stop.

the pieces of information:

• time moves slower the faster you travel, and
• nothing can travel faster than the speed of light

have never been concretely connected in my head, but this makes a lot of sense now: time moves slower (for you) the faster you travel BECAUSE that’s the thing that stops you from moving faster than the speed of light… AND that holds true from all perspectives because it’s like… a trade-off?

“as a gay man…”

wait

no, women quite like us
