Counterpoint: I used to be a computer scientist in obscure languages, I'm as cis as they come, and I've always been absolutely average. Wait that's not a counterpoint at all

Maybe taking estrogen will elevate your rank.

Would this be considered doping?

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 55 points 3 days ago

I mean, you're gonna be dope as hell!

You've convinced me we need to start marketing HRT as performance enhancing drugs for programmers. Maybe that would make corporate America support trans healthcare

In that case she’d be able to double jump

This is a common misconception. Trans people actually have a directional air dash.

As a trans woman, I can say it’s actually both

What do the Linux socks unlock? Sneak while running?

Ooh, nice! Do they work on bikes too? Even if you're tragically cis?

Asking for a friend who's me 😁

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago

You still need a helmet, but they do add flair :3

[–] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 7 points 3 days ago

Sneak while browsing, Microsoft and Apple can't track you

Counterpoint: I am a trans woman in CS and I am incompetent

Have you put on the regulation socks? They must be white with pink or baby blue stripes.

[–] LegoBrickOnFire@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Holy shit! I actually never tried a good pair of programing socks !

Maybe you just have imposter syndrome: you think you work in CS but you actually work in retail.

That's not very sus? Well I disagree, and BTW I saw you in the engine room, what were you doing? Maybe you're the one with impostor syndrome

Tbf I had a friend who worked in CS but was actually a mechanic. He just fixed the systems so much they would pay him a diff to go work at other shops computers.

I think that would be a contrapositive, as the truth table is the same; unlike a converse or an inverse where the truth tables would be opposite

But we're also working with inductive logic here, so maybe truth tables aren't the right tool to use anyway
