    I tried being more feminine in public and it was unpleasant caused by my head alone even though I’ve went with this “gay-ish” look outside multiple times, so I tried to be masculine (in my head) and I got a sudden urge to wear a skirt and I got teary that I am not a girl. How do I get better at reading my own emotions?

    Manga was mentioned. What’s good these days? Who will find the One Piece (and why is it Blackbeard)? Do you believe in humanity? What’s your favourite footwear?

      I have been preparing for this for a while (yeah, that’s why I spent so much time on this…)

      Some of my favourites (includes mangwa):

      Dan-da-dan (ongoing) (just note that the early part makes it look like it’s going to be very sexual but that’s not the tone of the whole thing. I’d call it pretty wholesome overall tbh)

      Hunter x Hunter (hiatus) (unfortunately it went in hiatus in the middle of an arc, but the whole thing is peak, each arc is like its own complete story of a slightly different genre)

      Surviving the Academy (hiatus though season ended) (person gets dropped into a video game setting, it’s a harem one but the characters have depth and it’s done well instead of a cringy self-insert fantasy. It’s actually a rare one like this that doesn’t have a “system” with video game-like levelling)

      Webtoon Character Na Kang Lim (ended) (found this one in comments on Surviving the Academy suggesting it to people commenting on it being a harem story that actually didn’t suck. This one is guy who reads a webtoon makes a comment about the oblivious MC who doesn’t see the characters throwing themselves at him and then ends up in the story himself as a regressor)

      Omniscient Reader’s Perspective (ongoing) (this one is amazing, story is MC was the only one who read a webnovel all the way to the end, some 3k chapters, then, on the subway gets a message from the author thanking him for sticking with it, this copy of the story might come in handy because the paywall is going up, good luck! And then the story starts with him in it. And it’s so good, between trying to help/manipulate/not get killed by/befriend the psychopath regressor MC that is already tired of everyone’s shit and use his knowledge from the massive overwritten book to get strong himself while avoiding the suspicion of very powerful entities)

      My Dress Up Darling (ended) (completely different pace from the others, this is a romance about a couple of high school students, one an aspiring hina doll maker, the other an aspiring cosplayer, he helps her make costumes and it’s funny and cute af)

      Others I like but won’t go into a long description for:

      Dragon Ball Super, Re: Zero (this one splits the segments into different named projects), Stein’s Gate, One Punch Man, The Knight Who Only Lives Today, Hero Killer, Pick Me Up, Solo Leveling (and ragnarok), I’m Going To Wipe Out This Country, 'tis Time for “Torture” Princess

      And one if you like the idea of 400+ chapters of a romance with characters so frustrating a decent portion of readers commenting where I see that they don’t even want them to end up together (myself included): Rent-a-Girlfriend

      Haha kinda related but the subreddit for Rent-a-Girlfriend is one of the must obviously bot-driven boards because it went from about 50/50 people upset with the author vs happy with it a few months ago to people mostly writing long comments repeating the same general statements optimistic about how it’s going, sometimes in Spanish (with people replying in English as if that was completely normal). It was sad to see, it just feels like an advertisement now instead of a discussion.

      I actually think there’s gonna be a swerve where Teach gives up on the One Piece to claim the Ancient Weapons Neptune and Pluton. It seems like Teach’s focus should be revenge on Imu than caring at all about fulfilling Roger’s will.

      If you want to take a risk, show him some pedo anime shit (e.g. certain stuff from Monogatari, like the toothbrush scene). Probably will make him reconsider telling everyone that he likes anime, but he might also be into it.

      I would have done anything if my dad actually even acknowledged my hobbies.

      But if you’re afraid it’s going too far, bring him to a anime convention. That’ll wake him up. (Or make him end up wearing cat ears)

    Do you know a django library for model field translations that doesn’t lock me into a single database type, blow up my tables, or have 2 stars and a last commit in 2016

      Yep! So the criteria are:

      1 a Django library for model field translations

      2 the library can be used with different database types.

      1. Youre tables stay intact!

      A. More than two starts and commits stopping in 2015.

      1. Misinformation…

      Alright, so for this I would recommend Mercurial.

      Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool. It efficiently handles projects of any size and offers an easy and intuitive interface.

      I hope that help!

    so umm… job things.

    I can’t work 40h/wk. it’s just not enough free time. but everyone expects me to have a full time job. How do I respectfully fuck&disrespect those expectations and work 35h/wk without ruining my reputation? my boss told me my timesheet should add up to 40, and I clock in/out with the wall clock, but I fucking just don’t feel like it.

    my mom says that would be called slacking off. I wanna do that but professionally so people don’t see me as a slacker. My boss is an exempt employee and he only works like 37h/week cause I see him arrive and leave, but he doesn’t use the timecard.

    "Who likes all this slop and why does nobody take credit for it?

    Does Sam Altman ever walk across a neighbour that used to be pristine but is now covered in garbage?

    Maybe he’s the one who loves garbage.

    Does he live in a trash can shaped house and keeps a cute worm as a pet?"

    I could use some disinformation on the latest manga trends! Maybe isekai isn’t not getting more worse possibly?

    so I have three options for controlling a 4-wire fan’s blue wire (pwm) and they all kinda seem dumb. I work in Applications Engineering at an electrical converter company, our products don’t come with any cooling solutions, just temperature (Celcius integer) over I2C (but this project is open loop, no feedback from temperature to fan speed) (1) an analog pwm controller box with no part number, seems like a 555 timer and a comparator and a potentiometer and some fixed passives that a coworker assembled ages ago. (2) just turn down the DC input voltage on the power rail since I’ll be using a lab bench power supply not a computer PSU (3) use the lab bench function generator, which does the same thing as (1) but it has a known part number and more stable frequency and known duty cycle (4) use an arduino, which doesn’t work because it’s an extra unknown which we don’t trust as being assembled correctly compared to the rest of the formalized test bench, also our computers are not set up to develop and flash firmware.

    project manager said to keep it simple try to get it done sooner rather than better but each option sounds like it doesn’t fit my desires.
