What’s the opinion on hmtl?

It's kind of like asking my opinion on water, it's too basic and there's no way around it

If CSS is the whipped cream, then HTML is the pancake. I like to think of it like the outlet that holds the charger. Because it's a base, there's a limit to what you can do with it in terms of styling. However, without it, you can't do anything at all.

Thankfully, this pancake uses a simple recipe and you can learn how to make it within a few hours. Still, while the basic principals are fairly easy to grasp, every time you learn a new language you sorta have to learn how to incorporate that into the base. So once in an eternity, you might pick up something new haha.

I actually don't think CSS is all too difficult to learn if you've never used a back end language before (HTML doesn't count here). In fact, compared to styling with HTML I would actually call it easier because of how it's organized.

Since I posted that first comment I did end up completing my second year compsci course and learned some java (still a beginner but I can make objects, user controls, and move stuff) but It's been torturous. Java is like math. It is math. Applying it is like calculus. Unfortunately for me, it's also important. But it does do some pretty cool things.

I can see why people who have used Java forever would be annoyed learning CSS. It's like asking a genius mathlete to excel at art class. Just, why? It's a terrible analogy but it encompasses the issue 😅

For me, starting to code in CSS was the uncomfortable moment where all my previous programming experience was null and void.

I think that CSS in reality means "Check your superiority, you actually suck".

Haha thanks, I'll be sure to show them the preview!

I can definitely see why some back-end programmers look down on us CSS users, but I think it's fair to say that sometimes we have it tough too (Of course, I've only been a it for a year-ish consistently, so experts would have it better than me).

Depends on the overtone?

"No, me? Noooooooo...  Me? Okay me, but me? No way. Not after everything. Obviously that isn't"

"...Me."

"Wow. I never would have guessed."

Welcome!

(BTW I love your user :D)

Still a little unclear where I stand with Fi and Fe, but Aromantic and INTP.

Ignorance like this is so completely out there it's actually hilarious. Sure, I totally feel sexual attraction and you would know that because you're me!

It has to be the second most annoying thing in the world when people try to assign you an orientation without your input. Like hello??? Did I ask for a therapist?

It's golden hour somewhere by Lovejoy (The band literally referred to their music as "Aromantic British Noises")

"I'm not sure if the stuff I want is even worth the price it costs."

Yeah.

Cool story.

Bastard indeed. I'd still clear things up with him though

Hello!

Actually this a really good argument

Patriotism

Stuff like kissing and cuddling with her just made me feel uncomfortable.

Only you know you, but I'd say this sounds very aromantic.

While the discomfort could be connected to the person, if you don't love the idea cuddling/kissing/holding hands with romantic undertones in general then yes sir that is aromanticism.

This is about asexuality, not aromanticism, but I believe you would be interested in this video essay:

Wait, what? I may be misunderstanding you, but I meant as an aro headcanon, not asexual. I'm aware that just because she doesn't have a love interest in the movie doesn't mean she's aromantic. What she describes is asexuality, but in a less obvious way she also kind of represents aromanticism on-screen (I might be very wrong, it was just my person headcanon). I promise you I'm not purposefully trying to be ignorant and mis-catagorize her! If I did, I apologize 👍

Thanks you for the video by the way, I very much enjoyed the essay :)

What kind of tea do you drink?

I love me a good lemon & ginger brew

Nice 👍

As long as you aren't having lunch with a bunch of TERFs, I think it's awesome (if circumstances allow). Possibly meet other aros, or a subtle way to politely tell people where you stand. 

Heya :)

I got absolutely no interest for that. I’m kinda doubtful, should i at least try?

Well yeah there's the whole 'you won't know until you try' but I mean if you already know that you're not into it, then you know?

Can't say for sure but I think there's a difference between experiencing romantic attraction, and being romantically attracted to someone. The former being you want it in general, the latter that the desire is attached to a particular person(s). Do you not want romance at all in general, or do you think that meeting a special someone will stir up the feelings?

What's the point if you like the person but then dislike the idea of showing/receiving romantic attention?

Ironically it made a particular feeling easier to pin point, I think.

Nope, but onto the watch list it goes!

'Twas very wet and physically it wasn't great, but I enjoyed the emotional closeness of it.
