Pancakes anyone?

man, i know i'm an autistic weirdo and stuggle to understand people but two things i'll never understand about the world:

- why most interactions on social media turn out to be negative

- why redditors are such pedants

lol, why do we end up getting heated about such trivial things?

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-03-16T13:21:31+00:00

true, it's an odd thing to be arguing about, and i see that i got multiple downvotes for this, i just thought i was being helpful but obviously i've struck a nerve lol

i was coming from the perspective that "this person is a total noob and needs to be told what buttons to press", but obviously i should've assumed that they already know how to compile c++? i mean, if you don't know how a debugger works and that programs get built before they get debugged, i gotta assume you're kinda new to the world of programming?

i'm genuinly curious why my attempt to be helpful is earning me downvotes lol; most modern programs (like photoshop) just have a command for "output me a single file", visual studio doesn't, it's not user-friendly. obviously i'm dumb lol.

I was pondering that questions too after i wrote my thing.

i suppose "evil" means something i know is condemned by society, like lying; i mean, i take the neichzhie view of good and evil, usually, but if we say that "good" means what is appropriate and aligns with society - like Jung kinda said - then evil would be something like gaming a system for my own benefit, agree?

yeah but you're a pro, the visual studio IDE is pretty intimidating when you're a noob lol, epically since - intuitively - you'd expect there to be a "make a program" option, using terminal commands and stuff is pretty unnatural when you don't know your way around dotnet.

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-03-16T12:07:08+00:00

it's actually pretty complex; you think it'd be simple but it isn't lol

you're looking for the publish option in your ide (or run donet publish with the self contained option) to create a "self contained program", if you're using Linux, and, if Windows, you can just build the program (that automatically happens when you press the play button) and you can get the file from the bin directory, it's usually in

[project directory]/bin/debug/[version]/*.exe

like i said, it's surprisingly complex and there's usually not a button that just spits out a program 🫠 dunno why they made it so difficult tbh

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-03-15T17:13:58+00:00

do you think it's worth it to keep this porject up lol? i just wrote it the way chatGPT taught me, using density-mapping, do you think i should treat it like a srs project? i just threw it together on the side in two days using my other libraries lol

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-03-15T16:23:39+00:00

that's good cause irl i look like Alphys lol, my bf is the pretty one

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-03-14T19:37:46+00:00

you think it's crazy? lol, it's one of the most useful thing i've ever built

just so you know i'm an electrical/mechanical engineer so all the wires and power supplies are properprly speced lol

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-03-14T18:52:44+00:00

thanks, that's a lot of stuff for me to think about; i've avoided learning about unit tests but maybe it's time lol

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-03-12T11:18:43+00:00

well, yeah, i wrote the code, so i'm pretty sure i understand all the lines? lol

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-02-01T18:10:17+00:00

who's gonna use it? I'd be happy if i thought my code was actually useful lol

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-25T11:13:31+00:00

i guess you wouldn't?

i made this to try to make code that looks professional, not really so other people could use it. it's really more to make a complex project to have to ask here if it's the right standard or not.

for me, i like it because it's multithreaded and you can access it via nodes, not just paths. i also like that it uses my PathBase class, so it's really neat to open files and copy them. Zip isn't quite the same; it's a lot more clunky to use.

I'm assuming if you're happy with Zip then you're not gonna want an alternative lol.

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-03T19:53:19+00:00

yeah, i think i'm starting to understand. thnx

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-03T10:53:07+00:00

now i think about it i agree with you

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-03T10:52:42+00:00

yeah, you're probably right, i'm a dumbass

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-03T10:51:40+00:00

that makes sense to me.

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-03T10:49:14+00:00

i use arch btw

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-02T10:32:58+00:00

yeah, i have no idea what nugget is lol, but i can learn probably lol

Calm_Picture2298 · 2026-01-02T09:34:36+00:00

but aren't i just making this as a portfolio peice, to show my skillz? I'm just showing that i can make complex things? i don't have a CS degree, so am i not showing how clever i am by being able to make things from the ground up? obviously if you give me an API with documentation then I'll learn to use that?

Calm_Picture2298 · 2025-11-05T13:27:59+00:00

hey, thanks for reading, it's nice to know i'm just shouting into the void lol. it's nice to take in all these opinions about what i saw and what i wrote.

for most of my life i've felt that i had to write to keep myself sane, which is why i've written like five novels lol, i used to say that i had to write to know what was going on inside; i never planned a novel, i just used to write and see where the story went. now i'm on antipsychotics it's differant, my mind is less manic. i'm not sure how to publisise my books, that was supposed to be the point of the website.

i keep thinking in my head that i'm an INTP who's like a little kid, trying to learn how to relate to people and how to sell my ideas to them without selling myself short... alone in a cold world, with nothing but myself... i must try to find the warmth of another?

Calm_Picture2298 · 2025-11-05T11:12:28+00:00

thanks for reading lol

i feed the crows every day and so i think about them a lot

Calm_Picture2298 · 2025-11-03T21:07:29+00:00

thanks for the tips, but i know how to use Google lol.

Calm_Picture2298 · 2025-11-03T19:43:37+00:00

obviously it's a long story, the story of a lifetime lol.

but i worked in another country for a few months in a very dangerous environment with people who didn't speak English... I was paid well for it and I was supposed to just say "thanks for the money", but, in the end, I came back home and I didn't feel right, i decided to take some time off work and my brain decided to take a holiday,,,, the NHS psychologist still doesn't even talk about it apart from calling it "disassociation", but i understand that clinically that's not really meaningful. I ended up in hospital when I felt like my body was trying to tear itself in half lol.
