  • Then simple question, why not use First Gentleman? Kamala Harris’ husband was Second Gentleman and would have been first if she had won.

    Going by your logic, that would be offensive to me, as a gay man.

    But this kind of hypersensitivity, especially when applied regardless of context or intent, is one of the main drivers of the reactionary sentiment that is allowing the right to win elections all over the world. It’s one of the reasons why the “free speech” argument has worked so well in their favor.

    Currently, the only ones benefitting from this “moral high-ground” stance are fragile little baby egos like Musk and Trump who can rest assured knowing their opposition would never stoop as low as them, while they get to freely spew as much intentionally evil shit as they want.

    A society where no one is ever offended by anyone is a utopia. It’s as desirable as it is unattainable. I think the best thing we can do at the moment is focus on fighting back, not fighting against each other.



  • “I waste my time in the morning and evening
    Caught in a feeling
    I lose my mind looking up at the ceiling
    It’s just a feeling, it’s just a feeling…”
    Part III - Crumb

    “It’s not meant to be a strife
    It’s not meant to be a struggle uphill
    If you’re bleeding, undo
    If you’re sweating, undo
    If you’re crying, undo”
    Undo - Björk

    “Past love, come back to yourself
    Don’t keep reaching out to him
    He can’t help you now
    It’s a past life, so come back to the time
    It’s been far too many nights, and you still cry”
    Past Love - Kimbra


  • I can’t speak about Flutter or React Native, but what I can say is DON’T use Xamarin Forms/MAUI. As a native Android developer I had to start using Xamarin after changing jobs and it’s been one of the biggest regrets of my career, honestly. Literally nothing works like you would expect it to. I understand the idea of writing the same code twice is intimidating, but trust me, nothing beats native development. Nothing. I can say with 99.9% certainty, you will regret not going with native if (or when) your app requires any vaguely complex feature to be implemented into it. Swift and Kotlin are similar enough that you can literally write the same app natively for both platforms faster than it would take you to write them in any cross platform framework (or at least Xamarin/MAUI), unless you’re making an extremely simple app with no customizations whatsoever.
