| I am wondering where one can even go to update their gender marker on this forum. When I initially signed up, I hadn't yet accepted many things about myself, including my sexuality and gender. So, at the time I registered as male. I would like to get this updated. I tried digging thru the settings f... |

| For me, it depends on the pain, but mostly I underreact. I tend to get ingrown toenails, and they get infected so much that others wonder how I don't notice the pain. But I just don't feel them, until I stub my toes when I have one. When I was a kid, phlebotomists didn't mind taking my blood, I didn... |

| In the USA, what qualifies as a disability is not specifically specified, instead it must interfere with a "major life function". Disability payments typically are based on interference with the ability to work, so one can get SSD for Aspergers/Autism, but only if it prevents them/interferes with th... |

| What baffles me is why it feels so uncomfortable to sit with both feet on the ground. It's not painful. :? I don't know the answer either, but my legs are consistently crossed when I sit down. If the chair is too small for me to have my legs both up, then one is on the floor, and the other is layin... |

Do what you have to do to get the support YOU need, and tell him he'll just have to deal, unless he wants to find some other way to get the ... |

| In high level languages this is generally true (although I've seen examples of error handling in an embedded C application where the use of goto made it cleaner). In low level languages like assembly, I'd like to see you do much without jump (goto) instructions. Of course, but since the word goto w... |

| Not neccessarily. In any form of development, there are structures that are generally considered bad form to use, but are neccessary for certain specific things (GOTO is probably the most universal example). You aren't a bad developer by using these things occasionally, just don't rely too heavily o... |

| Breeder also means bad parent and it's also a derogatory word in that context. Off topic I know but I wanted to say this. When I've heard the term, this is what I thought of, usually with the added stereotype of someone just taking actions to have (more) kids to increase the amount of welfare or ch... |

I just wish when I was a kid they had tried things OTHER than pharmaceuticals, as I hated taking pills every day that made me feel like a zombie.
