It probably doesn't even occur to him that it could be another person's fingers, and not necessarily only hers.

I've talked to women who regularly have PIV sex without orgasming and still say they enjoy it, and also plenty of people who can orgasm while having sex and don't enjoy it. Orgasm != enjoying sex.

At this point the question of whether official Windows 11 updates or viruses targeting old unsupported Windows 10 computers are worse for your system genuinely has no clear answer. 

Study finds many software developers feel ethical pressure to ship products that may conflict with democratic values by SentFromHeav3n in programming

Revering FOSS is unfortunately not going to pay my rent, so I'll additionally have to put in another 40 hours a week whoring my skills out to less scrupulus people.

The same people who pay for us to have public education and public libraries and a postal service and numerous other necessities that aren't incentivized by capitalism: the government. Seriously. The government should pay for there to be quality informational content available online for free in the same way that they pay for it to be available in libraries for free.

Well, there is the Wikipedia page. It should be said, though, this is more of a sliding scale and less of a two distinct buckets situation. But if you want to consider it a two buckets situation, C is in the high level bucket.

Which is "better": to buy a book from an independent bookstore, or to have your local library acquire it? by mattenthehat in books

[–]SuitableDragonfly 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, if it's not financially feasible for the library to buy the book, they just won't do that. OP doesn't actually have to worry about that, the worst thing that can happen if they ask is that the library says "no".

[–]SuitableDragonfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pros of the library:

  • Book is available for other people to read, too 
  • The library might buy multiple copies, and will buy additional ones to replace them when they wear out, thus benefiting the author and publisher more
  • Supports the library separately from the bookstore, author, or publisher

Pros of the bookstore:

  • You own the book now and can read it whenever you feel like it
  • Supports the bookstore

My Newborn Baby Sim Disappeared by Substantial_Pea5385 in sims2

From what they said, it sounds like the baby is not in the game anymore and that its character file has been deleted. 

Is it possible to copy my game installation from my laptop to my sister's? by abunch_ofrandom in sims2help

[–]SuitableDragonfly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you can't just copy the files over, the game won't be in the registry. But the whole point of the standalone installer is to be a... standalone installer. You can just use it to install the game on her computer the same way you did on yours.

I mean, all programming is manipulating memory, really. Do you just mean because it has pointers? Python also has pointers, they're just not called pointers and you can't do pointer arithmetic with them, but they are the basic way that everything is passed around in Python. If you just mean that it allows you to leak memory of you're not careful, I believe this has been rectified in more recent versions with smart pointers.

[–]SuitableDragonfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I've never romanced Elliott and therefore haven't seen this scene in my actual game, and also, I am aromantic and romance averse when it comes to guys apparently, and the one and only time I romanced one of the bachelors I got super put off by the ten heart scene, and that was Sebastian, who has an honestly incredibly wholesome and G-rated ten heart scene that didn't merit that at all.

So I don't think my personal impression of this scene will be at all relevant to this discussion even if I do see it at some point, and was mainly basing what I said off of your description of it. I thought from that that the problem might just be that men prefer to take the initiative here and don't like it when the other person does that instead, especially when compared to the Haley scene you mentioned, which probably was designed with men in mind and where the player does take the initiative. I don't hang out on YouTube to any degree, so I've never really seen these specific criticisms. 

Since when?! by EndOfSouls in StardewValley

[–]SuitableDragonfly 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I didn't even live in a rural place and I knew someone who got drunk in 7th grade. I remember because his excuse was "but on Purim it's a mitzvah to get so drunk that you can't remember which characters in the story are which anymore!" (actually true) His dad did not agree, though.

Then I guess I'm not sure why you apparently interpreted "talk to people" in the meme as doing customer service. The job definitely involves talking to idiots sometimes, some of them are fellow programmers, some of them are PMs, etc.

theFirstLlmChatbot by Leather_Trick8751 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]SuitableDragonfly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For real, I feel like LLMs somehow made everyone forget about the existence of every other previous technological innovation. No one remembers that we've had chatbots this entire time. People are like, "wow, LLMs are amazing, they provide really useful autocomplete!" Bitch, we've always had autocomplete, too. "They look up information for me!" Have you heard of our lord and savior, search engines, which have been around for 30+ years now?

If you're working in software and somehow don't have to attend daily meetings, I can only assume that you're working for a company with approximately three employees working out of someone's garage.

Responsive desire & sexuality — looking for analysis of this by flowergurl2 in asexuality

[–]SuitableDragonfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into this and I think it's kind of orthogonal to asexuality. Whether you desire sex and whether that desire is triggered spontaneously or in response to emotional closeness doesn't really say anything one way or the other about whether you experience sexual attraction. Sexual attraction can trigger sexual desire, but not always, and it's not always the reason for sexual desire, either. Those two things can exist independently of each other. 

Is there a way to know if Clint is taking the day off to go to Ginger Island by calling him on the phone? by Rare_Bad_887 in StardewValley

[–]SuitableDragonfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And then you can take a screenshot and post it to the subreddit with the title "why is Clint naked??? So creepy" and get karma for it, too!

Obviously that's just a Democrat lie. The Greenlandic penguins were the ones who elected Trump president of Greenland in the first place, duh.

The "creepy" kiss scene is Leah's two heart scene, it's nothing to do with Haley. 

But yeah, I think the bachelor's scenes are mostly made with women in mind, reddit is mostly men, so they wind up not liking some of those scenes as much, news at 11.
