I bet the date wasn’t in ISO 8601
I’m more of an RFC 3339 kinda guy
Heretic!
I got some files from a supplier last month date suffixed mmddyy, ex: concept1-250426
I didn’t even recognize it was a date stamp at first, until putting it alongside some earlier files from them with something like 190426
what the fuck kind of nearly useless date stamp is that
So they were dated the same day exactly 6 yrs apart. What a crazy coincidence.
Let’s meet in middle and start it at 0.5
Two Gyllenhaal back to back?
Glitch in the matrix
Djikstra was so fucking wrong with this and people who parrot this are so annoying.
Sure, an offset starts at zero, but an index can very well start at one. Not all arrays represent a physical offset, please stop pretending your inferior zero only indexing is in any way superior.
Sometimes math is just simpler from one. When you’re translating math to code, one based indexes are usually better.
I shall not lower myself to use the newfangled Mathematical inventions of the Arabs and instead keep doing Mathematics like the Romans!
But how will you use zero-indexing without the number zero?
All I hear is nothing-indexing with nothing.
In economics, many indices start at 100.
Not in MATLAB/Julia! (But like yes under the hood computers start at 0)
MATLAB, Julia, R, Fortran, Lua.
Imo the real point of contention is column vs row major ordering in matrices. Actually so cursed trying to move between languages.
Also lua. Well, kinda: those weirdos use hashmaps for everything, iirc
There is no second date because
YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:ii:ss'Z'is the only acceptable date.You dodged a bullet, my friend.

Come at me like that and I’ll know you are still a boy.
The picture in meme made me think like it’s a europenized version of Kazuma Kiryu, who is conviniently a long-time friend with Makoto Date.
Like if the people who handled the Prince of Persia movie did a Yakuza movie?
I want to see it no matter how bad it is.
Btw, the 2007 LAD movie is lit if you haven’t seen it. It has a scene of drinking staminan in the middle of the fight. One of my favorite vg adaptations.
Not in my household. In some cultures the concept of 0 doesn’t even exist
If you can’t let your obsessions and natural thoughts all hang out with a person… were they partner mater- wait, well, you can’t do this with allistic people at all as an autistic person and allistics make up like 99% of the population.
Always have to filter your thoughts at first. Let that stuff out in drips. Then once comfortable you let it all hang out.
Ah then partner material needs to be autistic too.
Not autistic, but I have ADHD and also feel the need to filter my thoughts with a lot of people, which is a bit difficult given the “blurt my thoughts out” disorder. I’ve begun to understood they’re not partner material for me, through no fault of their own.
So unless I just want hook ups, I just need to hope I stumble upon less than 1% of the population. And not only that a population that goes out significantly less often and tends to be generally shy.
Great. Love it. I’m totally not going to die alone with this plan.
Nah, realistically I’ll get an allistic. And to some degree I’ve learned the allistic romance game, I’m just a novice. Helps a little that I’m an ace at making friends at this point.
There are ways to meet more people. Online works best for neurodivergents looking for other NDs.
Masking in a relationship isn’t healthy. Being single is better than the feeling of having to filter yourself for the one person that’s supposed to just get you. Maybe you’ll find an allistic person who you don’t have to filter all your thoughts for, maybe it needs to be another autistic person. But for the love of flying spaghetti monster, don’t waste your life dating people who make you feel bad for being the pure, unadulterated version of yourself. I’ve made that mistake multiple times. It wears you down over time. You get in a relationship and you’re happy. It takes time to notice you have to pretend you’re someone else. By the end, you hate the other person and yourself. Fuck that. It’s not worth it. Find yourself someone that can’t get enough of your quirkiness.
And I mean dating apps suck but I’ve met some great people on Tinder of all places. It’s probably the worst of them all, but really the only one with a big enough userbase in my country. It’s a pure numbers game. Even 1% is a big number if you swipe thousands upon thousands of profiles over time. Or join groups for whatever hobby you’re most passionate about. Discord servers will do even. It’s 2026. There’s probably babies out there whose GRANDPARENTS met playing vidya. Nothing to be ashamed of.
Just do yourself a favour and start reducing the filter as soon as possible when talking to a potential romantic interest, whether it’s in real life or online. They might find you more interesting that way anyway and you also won’t get stuck wasting your time on someone who doesn’t like the real you.

TBH, at this point the original me is long dead. I am my masks.
Further, there are legitimately elements of my personality that I don’t even share with family. The only place I open myself up is arguably on the internet. I’m a bitter, mean, terrified, self loathing, and arrogant person on the inside. Benevolent in many respects materially perhaps, willing to give time and energy and resources to my friends and family. But on a emotional level I’m a walking festering clump of scar tissue that I cannot dare share with people without bringing about discomfort or even revulsion from them.

Be single for as long as I have and you’d realize that being in a bad relationship is at least a life experience. Being single is hollow. Its empty.
A big reason I’ve been single for so long is I’ve been on autopilot and focusing on personal projects, but I’ve essentially missed so many chances due to my obliviousness as a result. Now that I’m hyper fixated on finding someone, I’ve gotten multiple chances and slowly gotten better at the "game’. I’m getting closer, I can feel it. I am miserable doing this “project” though, but that misery will pass once I either find someone or fully give up. I don’t do things half ass. Its all or nothing.
To be frank, I need to experience a bad relationship that lasts longer than a week and that isn’t just a hook up situation. I need the bad experience. I need to fail faster. If the relationship ends up being good, great. But I’ll be glad to feel anything.

I’m using the apps. I definitely despise them, but I’m using them.

I used to think so too. Then I had a properly abusive partner. Mentally, physically, financially. I’ve since come to realize that being in a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship is not worth it. And that you need to find meaning in your life BEFORE you can be happy in a relationship.

Hmm, perhaps you’re right. Just try to remember that good relationships can exist too, even if you run into several bad ones. Otherwise the bad will consume you.

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing better.

I don’t believe in a meaning in the first place. Just experiences & seeking contentment.
Also, I have plenty of things I’m into, but I tend to hyper focus on projects. And if I’m focused on something other than seeking a relationship, I seem to be incredibly bad at picking up signals and chances.
Now that I’m hyper fixated on the dating/hook-up/relationship hunt, I notice I’m excellent at it. I’m just kind of miserable doing anything else that I previously enjoyed because I normally enjoy a lot of solo activities and my brain is constantly haunting me with “Shouldn’t you be out looking for a partner?” constantly.
Its not so much that I need a partner to be whole, its that I need a steady partner so I can close out this “project” of mine. I may end up closing it out with a fail state eventually, and I’ll be upset but I’ll be able to live with that because at least I tried. There is a sort of soft end point in mind.
Hmm, perhaps you’re right. Just try to remember that good relationships can exist too, even if you run into several bad ones. Otherwise the bad will consume you.
I’m poly/ENM, don’t believe in “destined love” or Victorian/classic romance, and value my sovereignty a lot. I’m not seeking to own someone or have them own me. I’m simply seeking deep and long lasting love. I’m what you could describe as “Theriromantic” or “Paleoromantic” but those are not terms unfortunately. There is a very low risk of a bad relationship consuming me to the point that I risk being stuck in one.
this one hurts…
