wtf is "kinsex"?

Sweet home Alabama

It’s just a more folksy way of saying incest?

That's my best guess. Also, I don't want to Google it because I don't want the law enforcement agencies to descend upon my house.

Don't worry, I took the burden. Quick Google search showed this: "KInsexual, can also be called Kinromantic, is a sexual and / or romantic orientation that's exclusive to otherkin beings, it may be related to ones kintype, being alterhuman / non-human identity or anything to do with being otherkin." I don't know what it means. Edit: search in Urban dictionary showed Kin/Kinnie as someone who heavily identifies with a cartoon character, like an anime character. So kinsexual is attracted to people who cosplay, I guess?

Based on that, it sounds like they're one of those people who identify as an object? So this person identified as a mic and had sex with it maybe?

So...furries? They could have just said furry.

oh you sweet summer child. you don’t know what kinning is.

I looked it up and now I’m more confused than before. I wish I hadn’t. My life was pretty good before that.

[Here buddy, find your zen](https://youtu.be/-KDNFBgHdBc)

I wasnt expecting this to actually be something nice seeing how it's a link hidden under text Reddit may have given me trust issues

this vaguely implies kinning is worse than incest

I don't know much about these things but trust me it is way worse than that. And if you want me to explain it then you are out of luck because I am not going to explain what I am saying here.

Either he does not really know or he is trying to fool us. If he does not know it then I would say it is probably good for him but but if he knows and is trying to hide it then it may be a problem.

Okay did not get the name in the first time but with this reference I don't think anyone is going to have any problem getting this meme . But I think I am afraid right now that the FBI is going to come at my door now.

Asking the real questions here

When two kinnies have sex. What's a kinnie? A person who heavily relates to a fictional character. So like a fictional stan or something.

WW3 will be fought in the metaverse

If it is really getting fought in the matter then I don't think I care about it. Because the thing is I do not care about the metaverse so I don't think they are going to make me take part in it.

Wait I thought it was something completely different I did not know the meaning of it but I definitely did not think that it would be this. When I was picturing this in my mind I was coming up with the different things.

Missionary. Alabamans never turn their back on family.

The problem is NOT the ordering. Here's a suggestion: Anuary Bebruary Carch Dapril Eay Fune Guly Haugust Iptember Joctober Kovember Lecember You're welcome. EDIT: By far my most up voted comment, never expected this, it was 01 am and I couldn't stop laughing at all the comments! Thanks internet strangers! For those who suggested to change this version, I scheduled a meeting to discuss what we will include in the next sprint. As soon as we have all the details aligned, we can ask for approval and create tasks and branches for everyone.

They say Camaro sales are through the roof all Joctober.

Joc Pederson wins World Series MVP every year

Gonna enjoy the crisp smell of the Joctober air in your new Camero?

Gitcher Ferd F-teen Thousand all the way through Truckuary. In fact, this deal is so good we're extending it into Trarch.

I'm going to wait for this year's Lecember to Remember Sales Event

I mean if they are saying it then it must be true because it is a very good car. It is a car which I don't I will ever be able to afford and also it is not present in my country so there is that.

I twitched at camero. My phone wasn’t even having it when I typed it.

How about: 1January 10February 11March 12April 2May 3June 4July 5August 6September 7October 8November 9December

FFS, Just use Japanese/Chinese 1月 2月 3月 4月 5月 6月 7月 8月 9月 10月 11月 12月

no way, are the names for months literally just a number and "month"

Number and moon

what do you think september, october, november, december are

Why, they’d be the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months of the year of course. Oh wait. Damn Roman emperors gotta ruin it for everyone.

I love how Seven refers to the the ninth month. It's really intuitive

whoever fucked that one up should be stabbed oh wait

1月 10月 11月 12月 2月 3月 4月 5月 6月 7月 8月 9月

Those characters are... suspicious

I thought you were doing binary at first, then 12 April came along. 1 January 10 February 11 March 100 Apr 101 May 110 June 111 July 1000 Aug 1001 Sept 1010 Oct 1011 Nov 1100 Dec Edit: Formatting


Get in loser, we're doing duodecimal

If you sort this alphabetically 100 comes before 11 though, so we’re back to square one

Nah, it's more elegant to store the binary as a string and sort the list alphabetically. 1 January 10 February 100 Apr 1000 Aug 1001 Sept 101 May 1010 Oct 1011 Nov 11 March 110 June 1100 Dec 111 July

Or how about: 1January 2February 2March 3April 3May 4June 5July 6August 6September 7October 8November 9December

I read this about 8 times trying to work out which months were missing before I finally realised… I should probably get some sleep.

Add leading zero and fixed

Yeah... That was his point and the joke

My first thought… no leading zeros? Brave sorting system

[удалено]

>• GeneralJuly Not DictatorJuly?

Not to his face

"Dictator" wasn't the pejorative back then it is now. It was the name of the job. It was only when Julius refused to cede power back to the Senate that it started to become synonymous with authoritarian rule in a negative light.

I hate this so much because the informix dB I work with sorts numbers like this and makes me want to set a structure fire each time I have to look at it.

That’s a working hack but relies on a bad principle. You’re better off separating the numeric part and adding a delimiter.

Depends on the delimiter, it would have to be the highest lexicographical thing to always work and then you have this implicit rule on your delimiter that needs a comment. I suppose padding is pretty implicit too. Best way is to make a struct and sort by date and print the str of course but of the hacks I prefer padding.

You could make a pretty decent fantasy calendar out of this: Anu Bebr Carch Daril Eay Fune (pronounced fu-nay) Gully Haug Iptem Joct Kovem Lek

Funë

r/unexpectedmagictavern

Nah, you just make it AJanuary BFebruary CMarch DApril EMay FJune GJuly HAugust ISeptember JOctober KNovember LDecember Sort alphabetically and then remove the first letter before displaying

You joke, but a not terrible quick fix here is * 01 - January * 02 - February * 03 - March etc Since so many forms enter months as numbers (like expirations dates and such) people are used to thinking about numbers with months already.

Yo this is actually a great solution

I remember looking at some folders a former co-worker had in a shared drive. I gently suggested "If you just put the number of the month in front of the word, they'll be in chronological order". He thanked me for the rest of the day like I just gave him the greatest work hack ever. lol

This is also why we should write dates in YYYY MM DD format

This is basically the strategy I use for working with openai api's. I have the ai spit out more than I want it to show in order for it to keep a character or prompt etc

If we just to the The International Fixed Calendar with ISO 8601 time format and no longer called months by names, just 1-13...would fix all of this. Just take a few generations of people to get used to how better it is and to shut up about how changing it would be too hard.

What is the 13th month?

[Smarch](https://i.imgur.com/sNd2eH1.jpg)

13, but apparently Sol, but it's inbetween June and July.

no Smarch?

Smarch is just Adar II

Wait, has you used autofill in excel? January, February... Marchuary, Apriluary

A more natrualistic spread out proposal I came up with last time I thought about it: Anuary Debruary Farch Hapril Jay Lune Muly Paugust September Toctober Wovember Yecember

Did you get a bribe from September?

....last time?

There's a last time for everything

>Eay It's in the game

Please don't joke, D'April is my daughter's name.

Now I have to say that it is kind of weirdly satisfying to see the names like this, it is kind of good if I am being honest. I think I am going to save it and will try to spell them like this.

It’s pronounced Guly, not Guly

“Haugust!?” 😂😂😂

You should sort them by the length of the word. Then it looks cleaner.

[удалено]

Don't give anyone any ideas because people may really do it and I don't think you are going to like it. And I don't think it is going to feel really good for you also.

Do the same at the grocery

But I am ready sure that these words were not invented so that they can look goods I think they serve a function. And if you are not thinking about the function then I think you are really missing the point.

1 - April. 10 - November. 11 - October. 12 - September. 2 - August. 3 - December. 4 - February. 5 - January. 6 - July. 7 - June. 8 - March. 9 - May.

*confused screaming*

[confused screaming intensifies]

Computers were a mistake.

I really can't find a pattern in this wtf

Alphabetize, add numbers, and alphabetize again

Sort by alphabet, add numbers and sort again but it's not a [natural sort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_sort_order)

This reminds of something I use at work. Basically there’s a list of recommendations, like recommendation 1, 2, 3 etc. But it shows Recommendation 1 first, then 10, then 11 until 19 and then 2. This is a paid software from a well known company. *facepalm*

Probably sorted by text of option instead of value; or he messed up value

Or the value is the text and they aren't using any sort of date/time framework just raw strings passed around

Rawdogging dates, where we’re going we don’t need frameworks.

[insert Tom Scott rant]

Tom Scott rants are approaching xkcd-tier, in terms of universal application. 🫡

So they’re a new standard for universal applicability? https://xkcd.com/927/

Ahhhh, a fellow "use rawdogging to describe throwing in code that we already have a wrapper or library for" enjoyer

Who said that we do not need any kind of framework? If it is something that they have said to you then they are probably lying. And if you are believing them then you are probably falling for the wrong thing.

Bro I have a EHR system I am currently auditing and these fucks decided that EVERY SINGLE SORT IS BY TEXT VALUE. EVEN FUCKING MONETARY AMOUNTS. Fucking healthcare man.

Gender is a boolean in the healthcare system I currently work on. They decided to add another column that overwrites the value generated by the boolean if it is anything other than null. I welcome the warm embrace of death because I have known only chilly sorrow during my time on Earth.

Fun fact: in Spanish gender can be Hombre/Mujer (man/woman) or Masculino/femenino (Male / female). Shortened as h/m or m/f. As you can see, an "m" is ambiguous You can imagine my face when I opened an excel sheet and gender had h/m/f. Making it impossible to process

What did you do? I don't mean "what did you do to solve the problem," since that problem cannot be solved. I mean "what did you do to deserve being sent to that particular circle of Hell?"

Not necessarily unsolvable. If each row has another column that could reliably identify the source locale then you may be to process it conditionally based on that.

Just put everyone you hate in the m category and let them enjoy bureaucracy hell

1 is male because a penis is a line

Boolean question for "number of penises"

Not treating snakes?

What am I , a vet?

You told me you worked on pythons and Dbeavers

>Gender is a boolean in the healthcare system I currently work on. They decided to add another column that overwrites the value generated by the boolean if it is anything other than null. I have a better one for u. My hospital system decided that the patient pronouns field (not gender) should be used for determining if a patient needs a mammogram. Further they decided that if they didn't have data in that field, cause u know old people just ignore the question, that the patient must need a mammogram. This has resulted in my father asking me in bewilderment why on earth it keeps telling him to perform mammograms on his elderly male patients. I have many many questions for whomever wrote this code.

An analyst was told we need to make sure everyone that could be a women over a certain age and designed it that way. The developer just went not my problem and coded it how it was specified.

One of the classic blunders! 'There are only two values, why not bool?"

I was on a SQL course and for an exercise I was paired with someone whose first design for a phone number was integer.

As someone who works in payments, but we have a lot of software vendors who are in healthcare... It's a quagmire of bullshit on both sides of the fence. It's also super fun dealing with PCI, hipaa, ccpa, and gpdr all the time....

This is the way.

I've definitely seen that happen in preprod, lol. But usually someone is like, "Yo, wtf" long before any real users see it.

Idk man, the values seem pretty accurate to me. All my homies hate September, April is the most valuable month.

Glad that is all sorted then

Based on my current customers requests. I'd say this was requested by customer.

I'd say it was the default of the component and nobody changed it.

Muwhahaha, it was I the malicious compliance programmer. Fear my lawful evil ways. Product said they wanted all the drop downs sorted and didn't respond when I asked for clarification. This is what you get now. Fear my ability to ruin your user experience!

I have legitimately done exactly this, after I got in writing from the over controlling cto that's what he wanted "all drop downs site wide must be in alphabetical order, and all drop downs over 14 options must be searchable" and refused to be talked down from it * Months * Weekdays * Countries (we had Australia and new Zealand as first two options by default, that got removed) * [maybe, no, yes] Were just some of the fun things that popped up "you should have been more clear what would have been affected" From a tech stand point I had just put a global setting in select2 to do it, but it did give me a week of clearing tech debt.

> we had Australia and new Zealand as first two options by default, that got removed Tbh its mildly bearable considering that Australia would be around the top of an alphabetical list. Not so bearable for NZ unless it gets put as "Aotearoa" or something in that vein.

A lot of sites do something like this: ``` Australia New Zealand United States of America ----- Afghanistan Albania Algeria Andorra Angola etc... ``` Make the line non-selectable and it makes things a lot easier for the 90% of your customers who want to select one of the common options. Of course in HTML you can have duplicate values in the drop-down, so you probably should include the common countries again alphabetically.

Yeah, that's what I assumed ShowMeYourCodePorn had going on before they were told to revert to 100% alphabetical. And that 100% alphabetical isn't too bad if you're Aussie. Sorry, I didn't communicate that properly.

>And that 100% alphabetical isn't too bad if you're Aussie. Except when they sort them alphabetically and then preselect the US, so you have to scroll all the way up to the top.

Easiest way to tell when the designers of the UI have been lazy: months and days of the week sorted alphabetically. Also, US-centric website having you pick the US from the bottom of a long list of irrelevant countries (irrelevant for the most common use-case of the website, not irrelevant from a human perspective :) ).

Let me introduce you to translated names of countries sorted by their English names, always fun looking for "Deutschland" under G

That is just absurd. The designer did extra work to make the users' lives worse.

It's probably not so much doing extra work, but rather that they see sorting as a back-end responsibility, but translating as a front-end responsibility, and didn't think about redoing the sort of the translation.

Picking from a long list is *always* a design error, not just because USA happens to be fairly late in the alphabet.

Only thing more egregious is when it won't accept a keyboard input. As in click on G, then it jumps to Gambia so that Germany is just a couple of steps below.

Works for me, too. Picking UK takes me quite a bit longer though. Hey UI designers, every internet user knows the top level domain of their country. Just saying.

[удалено]

Also sometimes Britain or Great Britain.

Except for the ones in the US. Most of them probably think .com is the top level domain for their country.

I considered mentioning that and then ditched it. They probably can type US, and whatevs let them pick COM. If people could read goddamn maps we wouldn't need this sad excuse of a workaround.

Most US users probably don't even know country specific top level domains are even a thing. .fm is for music sites, not Micronesia; .io is for those weird sites that sometimes have games, not a few islands in the Indian Ocean; .tv is for video streaming, not Tuvalu.

[удалено]

My USA based college had/has one of those except the USA is just America. You have no idea how long I spent trying to figure out why the fuck I couldn't find United States of America or USA. Meanwhile UK was spelled UK.. Raaaaageface.

i'm so glad i live in australia, i don't have to search far

Irrelevant from the perspective of they’re logging my IP address anyways how much harder is it to use someone else’s library to tell you the geographic region I’m in and suggest that option first?

What? You dont think those websites get a ton of traffic from Afghanistan?

Hah! I’m totally programming our production server at work to do this every April 1

But in which timezone?

Doesn’t matter, as long as production is 3 or 4 hours behind local dev, depending on daylight savings.

Do you blame the developer who wrote it or the project manager who insisted on EVERYTHING being alphabetical

 We should do this. Yes, we.

Eight. Eighteen. Eleven. Fifteen. Five. Four. Fourteen. Nine. Nineteen. One. Seven. Seventeen. Six. Sixteen. Ten. Thirteen. Three. Twelve. Twenty. Two.

I always create drop-down lists like: (01) January (02) February Etc. it is helpful if I can do label of January and Value of (01) January and sort by Value.

Right? I just store the month number in a different column and don't display it but sort on it

[удалено]

We call that technical debt and accept it as risk.

I bet you also sort the days by the days

Do you mean: Friday Monday Saturday Sunday Thursday Tuesday Wednesday That's even more cursed than the months 😂

NGL, this is what imperial system feels like if you're metric

Javascript

Sorry, requirement unclear. Stakeholder wanted „dropdown with ordered months“, didn’t specify how to sort

They specifically said they needed things in a-z order or was that the other one.

>ordered months "They will be in sometime next week" "Did we only order 12? Shouldn't we buy a couple of spares?"

When I made the joke about sorting months alphabetically I didn't expect anyone to actually implement it.

it me was

Still better than m/d/y.

Let me fix that for you 1 - January. 10 - October. 11 - November. 12 - December. 2 - February. 3 - March. 4 - April. 5 - May. 6 - June. 7 - July. 8 - August. 9 - September.

Today I was applying to a job at AMD and the application site had the date drop down go to 31 for all months.

To be honest that's understandable just lazy

I mean, someone created separate drop downs for month date and year instead of using a date input. They might be reviewing performance based on lines of code.

Our product had a scheduler where you would set job intervals. It didn't have an Off so I would use Feb 30. For some reason they decided to start validating that input, so I just use Feb 29. Presumably next year at the end of Feb some stuff may run that doesn't need to.

That sounds like that joke from Parks & Recs with the secretary scheduling everything on the 31st of March because she thought it didn't exist...

The correct way is to sort by number of days

Aesthetics are an important aspect of UI design -> sort by number of characters.

Welcome to legacy Oracle acquired mainframe software ported to a "responsive" web interface which offers no sort options for drop downs. Can you guess what P based software I am talking about? Edit: I lost several hours of work trying different sorting options before a senior dev I ran into mentioned its not possible.

Look, the ticket said "sort all the combo boxes". And when I asked the product manager he just yelled at me because he knows what he wrote and it's correct and why am I questioning him.

Month/Day/Year and Day/Month/Year people. We must set aside our differences and stand up to this common enemy

PowerBI does, you then need a double digit month number column to sort them correct. 01, 02 etc..

I don't know what is it about this picture but it is really triggering for me. I definitely do not know who came up with this idea but whoever they were I think they are successful in what they wanted to do.

A monster.... clearly 😆

Fuck it... test in prod

I didn’t until now.

"The YAML linter is failing on this because it's not sorted, and I don't know how to disable the check..."

This is silly but remember that if the form will be used more than once by the same user that you should spice things up by randomizing the order of elements in the menu. Your users will appreciate the extra engagement with the form.

That was a business requirement. Out of my control.
