I guess my point is, and this applies to @aldebaran too, that sexual drive, like any other emotion, does not have to be displayed if you don’t want it to. It doesn’t make you alpha to display drive in public.
The caveat being, of course, that you would probably have to be in a sexually satisfying relationship in order to not display it.
Yeah indeed this is inapropriate. But sometimes I have plate-wides eyes and in my head I’m like “yo what the fuck” and that’s it.
Aren’t you 32? Anyway that’s still faaaaar from old
You’re killing me here guys 
Sorry dude, that one was a typo.
34, but who’s counting?
I hide it, because I’m professional and because I feel like that’s disrespectful to my better half. I wouldn’t do it in front of her, so I don’t do it behind her back. Again, it’s worth noting that these are my decisions, not necessarily how I believe everyone should behave.
@aldebaran mind editing this?
Ouh yeah sorry, forgot for a moment why you changed your name.
Well unfortunately I don’t have a better half so I guess my hormones take control ahah
Totally get that. I haven’t been single for a long, long time, but I do have 2 kids so that’s a similar deal.
I think adapting to a significant other to some degree is fine and normal. I’ve overdone it in the past though. Recently I’ve tried to go with weighing it more heavily to how much I’d adapt for a friend and that’s been healthier overall. My problem has persistently been caring too little for myself and too much for everyone else so this is not general advice and merely an observation.
This together with @dagill2 has me thinking of one of my favourite songs. It’s in Swedish but roughly translated it goes “life is what’s happening while you’re waiting for something else”. I see this a lot with overachieving students is that they’re living for their maxima cum laude or what else they aspire to and then have absolutely no-one to share that with after getting there. And a several year long gap of their life without fun anecdotes, memories, and stories.
Employers may care for the maxima cum laude. But coworkers, friends to be, partners to be, all become harder to communicate with as you are moving through that phase of getting to know each other because the only thing such a person can contribute to that conversation is listening. Their experience is just this amorphous homogeneous blob of studying and working hard.
Personally, I want more “This one time, at band camp: …” than shit to write on my resumé.
Yeah, I agree with you. Meadows has a story about this, one of his first wins or even his first win at a show. He realized there was no one for him there. No friend, girlfriend, family, whatever. He had let bodybuilding take too much space
While I agree 100%, I also see the flip side of this coin which are the people who spent their whole “growing up” years going out getting drunk with their friends. They have no stories to tell and no experiences to share.
I find myself agreeing with @dagill2 on most things here (not that there are sides to pick). I think we share a similar mindset. Maybe because I am so much older than what’s written in my passport, haha. Or maybe because I’m a hopeless romantic or a reserved, respectful person at heart.
@anna_5588 I hope you change your mind about that stuff. On the one hand, making those experiences makes it all the more dull to be lonely, on the other it is one of the really great things there are to experience. I don’t think anything at all in my life has made me feel even remotely as alive and happy as romance/ love.
Are you calling me old?
Because that’s like, totally fair and reasonable.
Both of us mate, both of us.
Recent lurker who wanted to chime in
I’m not a great student by any stretch, and 100% wish I had more “This one time …” stories
Disregarding that one could actually use them for college app essays in the US lol
*Although, I am 16 so I do have plenty of opportunity still
Our best estimate from the Developer Estimation Model by the Market Research and Analytics Team shows there are about 5.2 million professional Java developers in the world today that use Java as a primary language .
I’m not a Java evangelist, I just wanted to highlight that you all might be in your own respective filter bubbles with regards to Java. If you want to talk outdated, COBOL springs to mind but I don’t believe Java can objectively be said to be out-dated or even out of style.
Realising that at sixteen puts you way ahead. I realised it maybe a decade later. Here’s some unsolicited advice: say yes more often. If people want to hang out with you, that are “good people” go for yes. Chores and shit can always be done at odd hours, it’s entirely within your control to catch up on homework at 3AM but if people are heading to some event that can’t be rescheduled at your convenience.
No thnx im good
You have a point man.
But they listed HTML/CSS as programming languages. 
You’ve stumbled upon the proverbial “medial delt”-discussion of the CS world.
And, really, it… depends. Which is why it’s a discussion, and not a true/false-proposition
If I was to compose the exam for the programming language course, and wanted a below average passing grade I’d make the first question
If I wanted an easy way to distinguish between students deserving the highest grade, and not, I’d add the question at the very end. If I had what my impression of MIT-students to be, I’d make it a take-home assignment and have them prove/disprove if it is correct to classify the pair as a programming language.
HTML5+CSS3 is Turing-complete and is therefore, by definition, a programming language. It’s not a good general purpose programming-language, but nevertheless it satisfies the definition.
Meanwhile, HTML alone can arguably (and not incorrectly) be considered a restricted declarative programming language, just not a general-purpose one and certainly not one that is Turing complete.
So, they’re neither correct nor wrong to include it.
