It is known for being a weed place, but they still have the highest density of bikes of any country, so they are clearly at the top of the list for cyling... with that said even their weed use is more of an image than reality. The vast majority of dutch dont even smoke.

@LoStz

Well my apartment is having the power out for a bit so I guess I’m just stuck sitting on the toilet looking at memes

@0x0f Nothing wrong witht hat, sounds like you like what you do at least, enough to share it and find like minded people. Everyone project needs QA, at least its what makes being on a project bearable.

@0x0f A bit of a tangent, and out of curiosity, what area do you specialize in? Like do you do algorithms or math, backend, front end, etc?

@0x0f Java is the language I am more proficient in, though im not sure i really enjoy java, it just makes me the most money so I keep doing it more often than I would otherwise.

@0x0f Fair, always interesting to me to see how different people have different code aesthetics and how it usually relates to their favorite languages or perhaps their first language.

@0x0f I think this is what I hate about javascript the most, the damn promise wrapping syntax :(

@realcaseyrollins yea sadly.. he wasnt too bad a few years back, always spot on.. but he got the Trump fever where he just went off the deep end along with most people (though more so the liberals usually) and just took all his shit to the absurd extreme and that was the end of rational ben.

@realcaseyrollins The guy has some good arguments from time to time, but he is also an idiot the other times.

@jasper Have you even played mario brothers... the first one is literally the only one you cant play princess peach, you can play her starting in mario bros 2 onward....

It feels like, like the woman int he image, your just desperate to find some sexos, where nonexists.

@snow

Yea being fictional there is no "reality" behind it. But the question is really about what was the intent from the creative authors I suppose.

@torresjrjr

@jasper yes the point being a passive person who has to endure a thing is strong.. so this isnt a downgrade.

There are certainly examples of similar tropes where a woman may be portrayed as weak, screaming, frozen with fear, refusing to run or confront, helpless, etc.. but it isnt everywhere and quite often such tropes are mislabled sadly as we see here. Throughout most of the mario series including the original the princess was fiesty, talked back, and was even an active player in most except the very first iteration. By every measure the trope doesnt really apply in the mario series despite often being accused that it does.
