The gender-bigotry comes from the "what man needs to mark 28 days?" There's snark behind the comment, and it's unnecessary. That said, a woman could be just as likely as a man to mark moon phases. But saying "man" doesn't mean "male" when talking about us as a species from my understanding. Seems like a broader term to use which includes the entirety of the homo-whatevers.

I'm just some guy here and am not educated in this stuff, though!

Can you stop by me in 2012 when I bought up a bunch of Bitcoin and tell me not to waste it, hold onto it for a few years because it will make me a millionaire? Thx

Idk man. I am shoving respect into my son's head at all times, I show respect and love to my wife/his mom all the time, and he is misogynistic AF. I don't get it. I am trying so hard to raise him to be respectful towards women and he just doesn't accept it.

He's 7, ADHD, Autistic, etc. But I really don't know if that even has anything to do with it because I am, too.

I wouldn't say it's been debunked. Probably improbable, but in no way debunked

Mint was my first used, was straightforward and easy to get going. Still use mint.

I've always read it doesn't really matter what distro you choose, just to pick one you like. That's confusing to a noob because they don't know why they should or shouldn't like a specific one.

Mint is very simple to setup and works very much like a windows PC by default. Can even set it up to work like a Mac if you want to.

I would argue real-life is also like this

In a kids show called Bluey, the dad often refers to currency as dollar-bucks when talking with his kids!

Dead Cells is amazing. It's a side scrolling, action-adventure, RPG-ish Rogue-like game. I've spent so much time playing this game.

The player takes the role of an amorphous creature called the Prisoner. As the Prisoner, the player must fight their way out of a diseased island in order to slay the island's King. The player gains weapons, treasure and other tools through exploration of the procedurally-generated levels. Dead Cells features a permadeath system, causing the player to lose all items and other abilities upon dying. A currency called Cells can be collected from defeated enemies, allowing the player to purchase permanent upgrades.

I personally played it on my phone with a controller, but it's available on all major consoles iirc

I get what you're saying, but it's not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won't.

Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child's access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.

It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.

 

I am currently trying to build a search component so users can search for Pokemon (since it is currently paginated with 20 per page.) I'm having some difficulty figuring it out, but I'm making progress.

All the information is auto-populated. It's probably an easy thing for seasoned developers, but I'm proud to have linked the card colors, types and backgrounds to their relevant Pokemon.

Edit: search function is working now! But I I need to add "toLowerCase()"... And add prefix to the type images of some types. Otherwise, it's working decently! The search field works in real-time, so the page is a little sluggish to load. You can search by Name, ID, Type or Ability, just start typing and your results will appear.

I opted for a single search field for simplicity and to condense the page. I can add filters, but I like it this way for now.

~~Next I am adding a click-to-zoom on the cards, and when they fill the screen, additional info will populate the card, and even more info on the back.~~

Edit 2: Instead of making click to zoom, I added a drop-down menu to change sprites between all generations. Maybe now I'll add click to zoom!

Edit 3: I added the zoom feature and made some tweaks! Added official artwork, better pagination, generation links to display all the Pokemon from a generation, and sound effects! (My fav)

Hey, saw this community and that it was nearly empty so wanted to add a little about myself to break the ice.

I'm high-functioning according to scientific terms, but man it's a struggle every day. I am very socially inept in most situations, I've become a kind of hermit. But that's fine with me because ai have my wife and son and that's all I need.

I also have ADD and Bipolar Disorder, and although not specifically diagnosed, i wonder about ASPD and AVPD as well. To top it all off, I also have constant brain fog with short moments of clarity, and aphantasia.

Yes this all really sucks, but it's not all bad. I have a supporting wife, and awesome (and crazy) son who is just like me... Which makes me upset about what he may go through in life, but also glad because I can give hime real, understanding support he won't get from most people.

I spent 8 years as a carpenter (retail before, but couldn't keep it up due to the customer contact.) And I am now a certified web developer and continually learning.

I didn't grow up with medication, or support, but I wish I did. I got on meds late, and honestly I could be so much farther ahead now if I had them sooner.

Anyway that's all I've got, I don't know how to exit social situations so yeah. The end. See ya!
