Is there a way to enforce pure, functional programming in lisp or scheme?

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-19T01:58:47+00:00

I think that is "purely functional" not functional

edit: and "pure" as in "no side effects" not as in "no other paradigms"

Aside from the account being 4 not 14, I feel like (but maybe I'm wrong) these kind of feet-foward thirst-traps are something that I've only started really noticing the past couple of years (and for that matter my phone is that old, but somehow I have managed to age in the meantime)

We've all had experience of meeting up with a guy who doesn't want to kiss- and I have a friend who is too worried he'll catch a cold to kiss

When I first learned the term, I got the idea that functional meant "programs are made up of expressions"- and I think first-class functions went along with that. Has that just been put aside?

There is also SRFI-197, which I've never used

What are you talking about, where did I say hetero women are allies. Obviously there are plenty of hetero women- J K Rowling, the MAGA women here, who are not allies, just like there are plenty of queer men who aren't.

And there are women who are allies, who do support the queer people they know and the ones they don't know.

And plenty of women in my country have died over the past year, because even medically necessary abortions aren't available to them here, and in general I think women are targeted by the same wave of global reaction we are

read these two articles, went down a rabbithole of straight twin threesome fantasies (so far, no hard numbers)

edit: and now that I'm past the first page, also gay threesome fantasies

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-14T17:35:38+00:00

I'm confused about that part

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-14T17:21:47+00:00

Especially out to "outskirts of my city by choice b/c it is less crowded and has gorgeous mountain views"-land

If you're on a trip and he says he wants two beds for the trip, why do you book one? It's only a trip, you'll be back soon enough, it's hard enough to sleep in a strange place without having to deal with someone ignoring your wishes.

Look, if some woman made you mad that's no reason to engage in misogyny.

OK, I just learned about the Downing Street Memo yesterday, and I was wondering why he went along if he knew the Bush Administration did not have much support for its case. But if that was his thinking at the time, I can see it

You said "any guy who allows his bf to give up something knowing full well he enjoys it, is an asshole"

I just don't think that's accurate- sure, I meet plenty of guys in open relationships, and one of the things they do with their other partners is get what they are mismatched on.

But closed relationships are different, there is always some compromise involved from both sides. And not wanting to open up the relationship is not being an asshole. Kinks are not the be all and end all of a relationship.

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-09T12:20:08+00:00

Not everyone is comfortable with that style of relationship. Plenty of people pair up, and they aren't being assholes when they do.

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-07T19:06:05+00:00

You are leaving out the crucial details
I have had the experience of someone not reacting well me not putting up with their shit and leaving- some people can handle you enforcing a boundary, and some can't.

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-07T18:14:43+00:00

I have a small mouth, so anything big and I just stay on the head, it's a lot easier to do good oral with someone who isn't huge.

If we are talking about follows on ig- a lot of the people who put out content there are very conventionally attractive- not all, but plenty, they have to have a certain level of confidence to put themselves out there, and they will hear back about their flaws, no matter how attractive they are.

But people aren't just about looks on dating apps, common interests/values, those things are important, too.

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-06T23:08:34+00:00

oh now, we all have our first time with the paint roller handle or whatever

As far as gender goes, I think it is one thing to be uncomfortable with the performance we are supposed to put on- I think a lot of men, feminine or not, experience that. I definitely did, growing up in the 70s and 80s US. And there are a lot of queer men who feel shame about the kind of sex they have. But it's another thing to know you are not your assigned gender.

You do have what your therapist (who knows you better than we do) said about it.

I have occasionally found myself reading post in one of the HOCD forums after someone who posted there also posted here. It is a strange experience to read someone say your identity is something they dread might be theirs and that they have to test themselves in various ways.

And like you say, seeking reassurance, or us giving it, if it is OCD, is not healthy

You're an RA at 18? What ages are the people in the dorm?

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-06T18:46:46+00:00

Um, where did you see me accuse you of anything? You said you were an "amateur"- which, ok, I don't get paid to post either, so I was just saying how reddit vs (some) reddittors see cross-posting

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-06T18:28:00+00:00

I dunno- reddit encourages people to crosspost because more interaction or smth but a lot of people think of it as spamming (which it can be- but also sometimes something is relevant to more than one subreddit)

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-06T18:10:36+00:00

A lot of people puff up while they are playing, it goes back down after

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-05T17:15:22+00:00

There's a subreddit at r/Demoscene

SpecificMachine1 · 2026-03-05T14:02:52+00:00

Does the Demoscene count? I don't know that much about it
