I mean, yes, for your average English-speaker, perhaps. Probably not hard if you're speaking another Khoisan-language.

@peterwyrm coz of the jokes n' that.

I'd be happy if we made it possible for people to have the babies they DO want to have.

I have many friends and acquaintances who aren't able to, and for many it's the greatest tragedy of their lives.

@skinnylatte it's the same thing with gender, I have colleagues who say they don't see gender, but fail to understand that this only marks them out as extra privileged because I assure you my female colleagues are acutely aware of their underprivileged situation every day.

Not seeing gender or […]

@mok0 tried simply doing a git pull in a terminal, maybe? I find that using the CLI solves 90% of git issues I have with IDEs and so on.

@mrundkvist sounds frustrating 😬

@juliette

Our children also display remarkable restraint in public, only to truly terrorize the home environment :D

If you have the space for it to be set up now, give it a go. It's hyggeligt and after 2 hours you know if it will work or not.

The main reason we don't put it up early now is […]

@juliette Depends entirely on the kid, I think. We usually wait until the 23rd anyway, but then leave it until the day before New Year's Eve.

@mrundkvist would make sense, though. In nature, most animals are quite risk averse and will flee long before risking death. Unless they're rabid or had the obvious upper hand.

@saustrup sounds like an early Christmas holiday to me! OK, maybe on the optimistic side...

Once had some mouthbreathers have a picnic on a lawn close to an apartment we lived in, didn't clean up after themselves and the seagulls moved in.

Never left, they were there being noisy at all hours four years later when we moved out. Thanks a bunch, stagdo-people.

> People ask questions for reasons OTHER than simply obtaining information. A question can be a way to start a conversation. A way to try to find out if you are alone in your confusion.

I feel like this part is obvious to most people, just not most techies - unfortunately.

Ja, jeg bruger ikke rigtigt dårlig samvittighed over den slags, jeg har det jo simpelthen ikke dårligt med at spise det jeg vil.

Det gør ikke skade på andre hvis du spiser den flødekage, kan man sige, det er jo ikke fordi du er i færd med at brænde et børnehjem ned.

@jpkolsen Ikke rigtigt... jeg kan fx altid komme i tanke om noget ekstravagant jeg kan spise.

Ok, jeg skal lige lave det selv, ved ikke om det sådan rammer toppen af hedonismeskalaen, men alligevel.

@juliette Again, petty energy directed at some rando - love it :D
