  • Personally I find one in every five people of any group being threatened or attacked absurdly high, I definitely don’t envy wherever you live.

    The survey question was specifically relating to physical violence, online and other forms of harassment were separate. Since a quarter of participants reported even going as far as avoiding retail stores within the past year to avoid harassment I don’t think it’s unreasonable to conclude they are less publicly visible than cis people. It’s also worth noting that more than half of survey respondents identified more closely with non-binary than trans man or trans woman; the report states that trans women had a much higher rate at 25%, 14%, and 11% of threats, attempts, and deliberate physical harm respectively. These numbers do not include sexual assault and related crimes which were also disturbingly high.

  • That’s slightly misleading, I think. There are no arrays in Lua, every Lua data structure is a table (sometimes pretending to be something else) and you can have anything as a key as long as it’s not nil. There’s also no integers, Lua only has a single number type which is floating point. This is perfectly valid:

    local tbl = {}
    local f = function() error(":(") end
    
    tbl[tbl] = tbl
    tbl[f] = tbl
    tbl["tbl"] = tbl
    
    print(tbl)
    -- table: 0x557a907f0f40
    print(tbl[tbl], tbl[f], tbl["tbl"])
    -- table: 0x557a907f0f40	table: 0x557a907f0f40	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    
    for key,value in pairs(tbl) do
      print(key, "=", value)
    end
    -- tbl	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    -- function: 0x557a907edff0	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    -- table: 0x557a907f0f40	=	table: 0x557a907f0f40
    
    print(type(1), type(-0.5), type(math.pi), type(math.maxinteger))
    -- number	number	number	number
    



  • Everyone understands that, that’s a surface-level reading not some secret hidden meaning. The problem is if you take more than a second to think about it instead of just taking the story at face value you see the real relationship here.

    You have one horrifically vile being ruining someone’s life even though the victim worships them. The victim continues to worship them in spite of their atrocities just because they’re powerful.

    It’s touted as a story about how you should just keep blind faith in the powerful but that’s really the exact opposite of what it shows. And it’s more relevant now than ever, I’m sure it’ll take you no effort at all to think of another toxic parasocial relationship.



  • In 1923, the salute was gradually adopted by the Italian Fascist regime. It was then adopted as the Nazi salute and made compulsory within the Nazi Party in 1926 and gained national prominence in the German state when the Nazis took power in 1933.

    It’s the same thing. It’s like saying “it’s not a gun, it’s a firearm”. It makes no sense, both words mean exactly the same thing. Even if there’s somehow some technical edge case where the distinction matters it’s just not relevant here; it’s a nazi salute no matter what you call it.

    The fact you feel the need to hide significant aspects of yourself from your employer means that these social issues greatly affect you. So much so that I’m not convinced this isn’t a troll, “it’s fine as long as I don’t see it” is literally a homophobe trope.
