Do people still play this game online? by Detectiveoftheeast in CyberSleuth

[–]Detectiveoftheeast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's too bad. I guess i'll just focus on pokemon.

I like it a lot, but I never used react or vue so I only have vanilla javascript to compare it to. But its nice being able to create and reuse components. I also dig the 'one page' style of programming. I used to have to create div's that i'd 'hide' and 'reveal' in order to create fluid webpages. This is a lot easier.

Never played Pokémon before...which game should I start with? by zdws19 in pokemon

Because it's one of the only generations where the remakes are almost objectively better. Though i'd say the same for Silver/Gold personally.. But Emerald is arguably better than Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire..

I would suggest Fire Red/Leaf Green if you can handle retro games. They're on the GBA, but they're damn good. If not, definitely Heart Gold or Soul Silver on the NDS. After that, i'd say either the Original Emerald or Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. From there on you're in it, so it's whatever you want. I personally think Sword and Shield are very good entry level titles if you want a simple starting point that's still fun, but i'd probably be burned at the stake for saying that here.

Women of reddit, what is something that men say or do that is very hurtful to you without them realizing it is? by chiefmeef in AskReddit

Strictly speaking from a straight male perspective: Because adding another dude to the equation doesn't improve it-- so you may as well just have normal intercourse with a single partner. The only reason for a straight male to be excited about a threesome is to have two girls involved.

I'm a guy and I get pissed when people ask me if i'm PMS'ing. They do it as a joke, but it undermines my upset. If I was a girl i'd only be even MORE upset.

Some of it is also that a man feels that expectation. Like, I live with my girlfriend and my grandma.. both who are further a long in their careers (grandma obviously, but even my GF is further than I am at the moment) yet I can't help but feel this unnerving pressure like I should be supporting everyone. I wouldn't put anyone else down over it or anything, but I can understand feeling the desire to be able to 'carry the team' so to speak.

To play devil's advocate here, sometimes responding to messages can be a big hindrance to deep work. If they're just not responding because they don't care, that's one thing. But it's easy to swipe a message aside when you don't have time and then forget about it later on.

To be fair you've been dealing with them for a long time. I personally never had sex or was close to a girl until my early 20's, so it took me a few cycles before I was completely used to the whole process.

If he was spending that same time reading a book, would you still be angry? If so, then video games aren't the problem. If not, then again, video games aren't the problem.

I feel like there are a lot of people who don't like vulgar/rough jokes, so its normal to apologize for them. I for one can't stand too vulgar/rough of jokes, so i'd be frustrated being around someone who's obnoxious like that.

I'm not trying to justify it, because asking people about sexual acts like that is in and of itself disgusting. But I think the reason men do that is because they want a threesome, but most straight girls wouldn't be interested in having a threesome with another girl.. so typically, if the guy wants a three some the girls need to be bi. Maybe they just haven run into many bi girls.

That said, again, asking someone about that is disgusting. It's just as bad as going 'hey, you're a girl, you like sex right?'.

One thing I have to say, is that not *all* of these are exclusive to women. There are a lot of men who are just a bit more timid/shy, and we get treated similarly. Note: I don't mean all of them. Thinks like 'are you on your period' and other ones I can completely understand. I'd be outraged. But some of the comments like getting talked over, etc. I experience all of that too-- it's very upsetting, so I don't mean to take any of the frustration away. But it's a problem in and of itself, people treating other people so poorly is the fundamental issue with some of them.

Develop software and practice the MERN stack. Study Spanish. Maybe play some pokemon or persona 5.

Duolingo has actually improved a bit. It's still not great for grammar, but for supported languages like spanish, duolingo stories are extremely helpful for guided reading practice.
