@ArtOfCode when you have time, could you please answer a question about caching in the Pronoun Assistant?

// If we're on a Q&A site, also cache all changes to the `users` object to save on API calls Can I purge this cache manually, e.g. after changing the About me entry and/or is there an automatic expiration period? (I implemented such in my user flair once [but it didn't work in FF then]).

@AGirlHasNoName At work, I have coffee roughly every half an hour. My mug never gets cold all day.

user384163

wow, that's more than me even.

Magisch

I do wonder, where does all that liquid go?

thats like 3 liters of coffee every workday

user384163

ohh I don't

user384163

I gotta pee like every 20 minutes

Magisch

do you end up having to use the bathroom 5+ times a day

user351483

1:20 PM

@Magisch Was biology not your strong subject at school?

Magisch

I swear a coworker of mine is nursing a coffee all day yet never goes to the bathroom

user351483

@Magisch Do they wear wellington boots to work?

Magisch

I ... I don't know what that is

and given the context I'm not sure I want to know

user384163

For the coffee drinker who doesn't want to slow down

user351483

Magisch

1:23 PM

I don't drink coffee. My personal haunt is mint tea

user58

@AGirlHasNoName yuck

user384163

@user58 Have some kids. Then the idea of getting pee on you won't be any less gross, but you will be far more used to it happening.

user58

I'll pass on that for now. At the very least until I'm a legal adult. :P

user384163

@AGirlHasNoName after seeing my coworker go through the first 4 years of raising twins, I'm more convinced then ever to pass on kids .P

user384163

@Magisch OMFG I don't know how anyone handles twins

Magisch

1:43 PM

I don't know but he was working full time and his wife part time. You could definitely see the long term exhaustion setting in

user384163

@user58 The book was great. I was a fan of the series, but Im a David Tennant fangirl so I am very biased.

user58

I don't tend to actually consume most visual media. Eating TV screens is a messy business.

user384163

@Magisch That sounds... intense My wife was home full-time and we did them one at a time and it was still exhausting.

user194636

A true fan would spell the name correctly 🙂

Magisch

He's still so happy to be at work because we have a pretty chill job all things considered and his weekends aren't chill

user384163

1:45 PM

I only spell things correctly if my spellcheck knows how it is spelled

Magisch

4 year old kids are apparently a lot of work

user384163

yes they are

user351483

user384163

hmm speaking of getting peed on

Zoe the transgirl

Don't eat the plant.

user58

Generally a bad idea to eat cacti.

user351483

Prickly pears are ok though.

user58

2:02 PM

Picking them is a pain. From experience.

...I mean, not literally, but you have to be very careful.

If you aren't, it becomes literally a pain.

Mari-Lou A

@ReinstateMonica I've just thought up of an idea. Tomorrow create a question where the protagonist name is Monica. Everything else can be normal, don't mention moderators, pronouns, LGBTQ, just a good solid question but put Monica in the question title, and see if you can make it interesting enough so that it hits the HNQ.

user384163

Or we could stop fanning the flames and trying to bring the house down.

user194636

Or people could decide for themselves.

John Dvorak

BTW, you know what would be really confusing? If everyone changed their name and avatar image to Reinstate Monica.

Mari-Lou A

@AGirlHasNoName the name Monica is disturbing? Or offensive, I don't understand.

user384163

5:58 PM

Do not pretend for an absolute second that your above suggestion is not intended to be anything except incindiary

Mari-Lou A

Incendiary... no. Just want a person who's kept fairly quiet over three weeks see that "we" ordinary users, men, women and transgender people support her.

rene

Can't that support be expressed in an answer on one of the posts we already have?

user384163

Well. I can get behind supporting her. I apologize if I misread your intent.

user384163

Calling people, even some people, Snowflakes is not cool. I am not willing to suggest an edit but I think one is in order.

terdon

6:35 PM

@AGirlHasNoName What is it you object to? Do you find the term itself offensive?

user384163

No?

terdon

@AGirlHasNoName Then what is it that you find objectionable? I read that as simply saying that some lavender folk are snowflakes, but that doesn't seem problematic. Loads of cis folk are also snowflakes. I mean, some of just about any group can be snowflakes.

Honest question, by the way. I am trying to understand, not to disagree.

user194636

I suppose that's the risk of putting 'snowflake' in the question as well

user384163

I wasn't saying no. I was being rhetorical

Jose Antonio Dura Olmos

@ReinstateMonica I have just adopted your avatar too.

2

terdon

6:39 PM

@AGirlHasNoName Ah. So the term is inherently offensive for you?

user384163

Snowflake is a pejorative term that is often used to undermine people. Yes it is an offensive term

user384163

It can easily be rephrased and still be a valid post

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

Um, I just checked the 10k tools, and it looks like somebody just downvoted a bunch of really old, zero-voted questions just to push them to automatic deletion.

Jose Antonio Dura Olmos

I would say that snowflake is pejorative in general without attachments to any community.

user384163

I'm not touching it a getting called a snowflake for my trouble

terdon

6:40 PM

@AGirlHasNoName I thought it was just used to describe people who, in the opinion of the speaker, are hypersensitive.

user384163

I already have enough people attacking me

user384163

@JoseAntonioDuraOlmos I agree

terdon

I know it's often used to dismiss the concerns of people you don't agree with, but in the context of the answer, I don't see it as bad. Especially since it goes out of its way to clarify that not all lavender folks are snowflakes. But then I don't entirely get the social connotations of the word. It's a pretty new term for me.

user384163

Calling someone hypersensitive is dismissive

Jose Antonio Dura Olmos

Oh, so it is pejorative only to a few?

Andras Deak

6:42 PM

@terdon there are plenty of terms which could be applicable to certain extreme cases, but using them uproots civil discource in general

John Dvorak

Caveat: "snowflake" is a perfectly legitimate term for ice crystals.

4

terdon

@AGirlHasNoName OK. But saying that some members of a group are hypersensitive? I mean, isn't that true for just about any group you can think of?

Stormblessed

@terdon it’s something that I’d flag a comment as “inappropriate for respectful discourse” for, at least

Andras Deak

there's so much baggage surrounding terms like these that they should not be used at all if you want to have an actual discussion

terdon

@AndrasDeak Ah, so the word has become clearly associated with a specific political or social stance?

user384163

6:42 PM

@JoseAntonioDuraOlmos If you mean me I was agreeing with you

Andras Deak

@terdon I believe so

user194636

> If this is the case with others as well (and me hopefully not just being a snowflake), how can we fix this?

user194636

That's in the question ^

Jose Antonio Dura Olmos

@AGirlHasNoName My fault, I should use the reply command more often, was a reply to terdon.

Andras Deak

(my point being that this is a broader problem than whether calling some allegedly hypersensitive people hypersensitive)

user384163

6:43 PM

@terdon very much so

user384163

I would also caution throwing the word hypersensitive around too. It isn't as charged but it is still dismissive.

In all seriousness: problematic edit since we need to now edit the question, an answer, and a comment. So, need a good replacement that actually reflects the author's concern, can't just elide or aproximate

user194636

Is 'aproximate' approximately approximate?

Shog9

probably

user194636

close enough

Shog9

"overly-sensitive" seems close

@Shog9 "[...] for taking offense where none was intended"?

what's a good term for that neighbor who complains if you leave gardening tools on the lawn, calls the homeowners' association if you forget to close a garage door, and calls the cops if you invite the "wrong sort of people" over?

user384163

Some people who didn't like that started (perhaps out of jealousy) blaming lavender people for going to far. Some lavender people indeed go too far.

@Shog9 busybody is kinda missing the intent of being easily hurt.

I don't think it retains the original sense. Perfect for the neighbour though.

Shog9

@Tinkeringbell Oh... I'm sure that neighbor is legit bothered, that doesn't make it any easier on me.

user384163

Maybe "Some lavender people are indeed more sensible than other"? — BelovedFool 1 min ago

user194636

6:57 PM

but really isn't it fair game if the question author used it? It's not super offensive imo.

Shog9

That's what makes this a difficult edit. We have to capture at least two people's intended meaning for the term.

user194636

@AGirlHasNoName That doesn't read like native English to me

user384163

It isn't

user384163

><

terdon

@194636 It is if you change the last word to others instead.

user194636

6:58 PM

Well that would explain it then 🙂

Shog9

The neighbor analogy is the best I can think of that treats both uses as being done in good faith (e.g., calling out actual antisocial behavior vs. reasonable concerns). If we start editing assuming one or both authors are acting in bad faith, we're probably just better off deleting the whole question.

user194636

@terdon I would thank you not to ruin my point with pesky correctnesses.

John Dvorak

"overly concerned"?

user384163

Some lavender people have unreasonable concerns and act on them

Tinkeringbell

> If this is the case with others as well (and not just me), how can we fix this?

Also, if you refuse to feed housemates your banned
if you make food and leave it out, your banned

djsmiley2k - CoW

I guess my point was, the mods never had enough power to deal with this in the first place

and that hasn't changed?

John Dvorak

... and even if you want to shoot them into Sun, the best way to do that is to shoot them into deep space first, and give them a slight nudge when they get there.

this analogy was brought to you by Dominos.

And because maybe it needs stating, I know this is more serious than not liking pizza

I really need to stop reading Meta for today, or I am really going to insult someone today.

Some things never change

Bart

@Shog9 that's how I feel about life.

Tinkeringbell

At least you made it until now. I already stopped this morning (mostly).

rene

I have added a few tags to my ignored list, mainly discussion, support, bug and feature-request

I hear they're all duplicates anyway

Shog9

> I stopped answering questions on StackOverflow a couple of years ago for two reasons, the most pressing being that there weren't any questions to answer.

rene

I'm curious what the other reason could be ...

The remaining questions were closed by a flower, maybe?

user194636

Only at night

user194636

Flowers only close at night

rene

I do? Oh ...

@Shog9 it amuses me that this answers the whole 'people aren't nice on SO'

djsmiley2k - CoW

7:44 PM

At least the first point.

@rene the reasons being 'questions that weren't closed, were discussed'

Dang it I messed up the bug

Wow Gilles has 1074K

(network-wide)

oh Jon Skeet has 1138K on SO alone...

Alex

@Stormblessed The perks of a big site...

Stormblessed

yeah and 720 gold badges

820

A: Jon Skeet Facts

These are written in the third person so as not to disrupt the style of the thing. But hey, as we all know, Jon Skeet can make 1 == 3 anyway, so it makes no difference. Jon Skeet is immutable. If something's going to change, it's going to have to be the rest of the universe. Jon Skeet's additio...

and all of this is 100% true I hear

Alex

Nice. I have 8, I think.

8 answer per day. Wow.

Stormblessed

8:40 PM

Dang that’s a lot

Alex

Yeah, I would have to answer basically every question that comes in on my main site to reach those numbers.

Magisch

9:00 PM

imagine finding the energy of giving 8 on average high quality answers per day

thats a lot

M.A.R.

Perpetual motion. I. knew it.

Lol, NAA of the year

It's not insulting people so I guess R/A is a bit too strong

duplode

"ghostly"

M.A.R.

@duplode Well aren't they calling Android that?

duplode

Perhaps. Or they find icons moving around "ghostly", idk :D

Mari-Lou A

@rene I know that MSE questions do not appear on the HNQ that is why I suggested that someone, who had previously told me which sites they were more active on, could create a question with the name Monica in the title, the OP's avatar says "reinstate Monica" wherein visitors to the HNQ would being asking, "Who is Monica?". It's a way to broadcast news without ramming it down their throats. Just a thought.

The tricky bit would be to make the question interesting enough that it makes the HNQ.

M.A.R.

9:14 PM

Nah

user384163

@Mari-LouA I missed the conversation that you had with them on the question. That is far less inflamatory than I thought. Sorry again for my misinterpretation.

M.A.R.

The tricky bit is getting yourself to compose a question after all of this

Alex

@M.A.R. "How do I get myself to compose a question after all of this?"

IT's probably on topic for a half dozen sites.

With minor tweaks.

M.A.R.

Philosophy

Personal Finance

Physics

ELU

ELL

Alex

You lost me after philosophy...

M.A.R.

History

Politics. Definitely politics.

Buddhism

Let's not forget Eeps

@Alex It's a soul-searching @journey

Probably most on-topic on Beer Wine & Spirits.

OK maybe not that one

Unless you're asking to ask on physics

3D printing

Ebooks

M.A.R.

If you wanna transmit the question in times of an apocalypse

@Alex Wat, we have that one?

Alex

@M.A.R. Ebooks Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for ebook publishers and readers.

So if anyone wants to write a book about it...

M.A.R.

9:23 PM

That's a meta question

Hmm, sounds like a useful community

I won't judge if there are enough questions to substantiate it other than "how download free book game of throwns" but the highest voted questions are promising

9:38 PM

Should I throw my two cents on the pronoun debate into the channel?...

Maybe that would be unwise.

you're good as long as you agree with the official stance

if you disagree, even if respectfully, expect to be flagged and possibly suspended from the chat
