Not looking so bad now, huh? Apologize

The eight year old in me cheers. My grade school teacher beat my singular use of they/them/their out of me. At the time, it seemed ludicrous not to use they/them/their in cases when I didn't know someone's gender. I assume this was due to my first language. Farsi doesn't have gendered pronouns: everything is "it".

Bahaha! Now I can gleefully write "when the user enters their password" and be right.

I'm not sure how I feel about this bit though...

> For new code/comments, consider using just ‘A’, ‘B’ as names.

Perhaps consider using unisex names instead? Maybe "Alex" and "Bo"?

I don't WANT a war but we might need one. I really don't know what else there can be done to get bored snowflakes to stop being such dipshits.

Also, holy fuck I hate these captchas. I swear that for the last few days it's been taking -on average- half a dozen attempts until it'll accept it.

>int main(int argc, char* argv[]) can't be written gendered or "gender neutral" or any other way based on some SJW nut-job's preference.
The declaration of the C runtime main() function makes no reference to gender in the first place, so it's gender-neutral by default. And if some SJW type thinks "arg(ument)" is excessively confrontational, there's nothing to stop you from rewriting the function as

int main(int parameterCount, char **parameterList)

, since argument/parameter names are only there as a guide to the programmer in the first place.

>>59957569
You have a right to find it offensive, but it is the most common gender-neutral pronoun since all the others are new and basically sound like memes.

Nobody's holding a gun to programmer's heads and saying they have to revise their documentation. We're just using the free marketplace of ideas to advocate for more inclusive language. The software industry is free to keep their focus on writing new code rather than revising documentation, but regardless we have a right to provide suggestions and criticism.

That isn't really relevant, since you're just some random anon and there's no way to know if you are trustworthy and unbiased.

Why's that toughguy? Are you imblying you're big and scary?

>>59960963
The picture furthest on the right pretty obviously shows the same guy that punched her in the video (presumably it's another shot of the same blow), however in the video she doesn't appear to be holding a bottle. You can see pretty clearly in the video that only one of her hands has a glove on it, and at that point there isn't anything in that hand. At the point in the video corresponding to that photo (at 0:04, shortly after the guy releases her gloved hand) she still clearly isn't holding anything in it. I'm inclined to think that the last photo might be shopped, because not only should the bottle be visible in the video, the positions of her arms would be different if she was holding it. Of course, it's also possible that she got up again and tried attacking the guy with the bottle, but that still doesn't make much sense, since she seemed to turn the exact same way while falling in both cases.

>>59961375
It isn't shopped. You can tell because in the image she actually still has her hat on her head as she is pushed to the ground. This incident happened off camera from the webm that was posted; in other words, it happened earlier. The image was posted by reuters news agency (the one with her with the bottle visible in her hand). The antifa were throwing bottles, bricks and smoke bombs (one of which went off and the wind blew it back into themselves, kek)

>>59961461
>This incident happened off camera from the webm that was posted; in other words, it happened earlier.
So the webm shows the SECOND time she was punched by that same guy?

>>59961515
>So the webm shows the SECOND time she was punched by that same guy?

How do you know she was punched twice? The picture only shows her being pushed. The guy pushed her to stop her throwing bottles. She gets into the fray again and she gets her ass put down. Is this so hard to comprehend? Do you understand how easy it is to fool people using the media? More at 11.

>>59961579
>How do you know she was punched twice? The picture only shows her being pushed. The guy pushed her to stop her throwing bottles.
Fair enough, I had assumed the image showed a punch, but looking at it again it's a bit less clear.

>She gets into the fray again and she gets her ass put down.
Seems a reasonable explanation.

>Do you understand how easy it is to fool people using the media?
Yes, which is why I was looking for contradictions in the first place. I'd be equally open to the possibility that the far-left had edited one of the images/clips to make her look like a victim, however the clip clearly shows her unarmed and it would be a lot harder to shop a bottle out of the clip than to shop one into the image.

What's it like being retarded? You think you can't refer to someone as "they" if you know their gender? It's vaguely inflexible at times, but 99% of the time no one would even notice that you're doing it because there's nothing wrong with it.
