Advice neededNeed help with little Python program
Posted April 23, 2021 by moody_ape in STEM

Hello! I'm following a Python tutorial for beginners and I'm having trouble understanding something about a boolean variable in a little guessing game.

secret_word = "clitoris" guess = "" attempts = 0 limit_attempts = 3 out_of_guesses = False

while guess != secret_word and not(out_of_guesses): if attempts < limit_attempts: guess = input("Your guess: ") attempts += 1 else: out_of_guesses = True

if out_of_guesses: print("You're out of guesses. You lose.") else: print("You win!")

The code works. My doubt is about this line:

while guess != secret_word and not(out_of_guesses):

If out_of_guesses = False, then does not(out_of_guesses) = True? But if I understand correctly, Python understands that out_of_guesses = False and that's why it keeps running the code. I'm confused about how thise works. What does not(out_of_guesses) actually mean?

POV you’re a teenage girl who just heard how your dad talks about women with his friends and you will never be the same

Damn, this is sadly accurate. Men are a disease.

Ah, thank you for reviving the horrible memory of going to lunch with my dad and his friend. When our waitress left the table, they looked at each other, then asked "Would you?" before laughing. This was in front of my mother and the friend's (now ex) wife and their young daughter. Men are disgusting.

How are we supposed to be taken seriously when our identity is being taken by these freaks?

🤣🤣🤣

No, it's just a few weebs! plugs ears lalalalala I can't hear you...

This is truscum, they are trans people (mostly FTM) that say in order to be trans you have to have dysphoria and most of them are transmeds also (in order to be considered trans you have to take steps towards medical transition such as taking hormones or some surgery). AKA "hatekeeping". This is in contrast to the "tucutes" they say that the pre-everything trans ppl are valid, no need to socially or medically transition, aka "transtrenders". Most of the uwu catgirl skirt go spinny TIM variety are "tucutes". So there is a male/female dichotomy here also, with the females lining up (mostly, nothing is 100%) with the "truscum/transmed" side and the males lining up with the "tucute" side. All of these terms come from tumblr BTW.

I’ve noticed that too. TIFs are hated by the trans community for being female and for usually being on the truscum side.

IridescenceAugust 2, 2022

I've noticed the truscum/transmed communities have a lot more TiFs as well. I have a lot more sympathy for them honestly... they're probably suffering from an actual mental problem (bodily dysphoria) and genuinely believe medical transition relieves their suffering. Doesn't make them men, but at least they have a reason for transitioning that's not based in the shallowest of gender stereotypes...

Tumblr was a mistake 😬

JeSoPazzaAugust 3, 2022

You should start a blog 'I look at Tumblr so you don't have to' modelled on the 'We watch Fox so you don't have to' people.

spacykateAugust 3, 2022

The sad thing is I only know this from following some radfems on tumblr, I have avoided as best I could the more extreme parts of tumblr but occasionally the weirdness spills over (like I found out about people getting tics from tiktok and stuff like shifting and otherkins) from people reblogging stuff. Mostly I follow aesthetic and lifestyle tumblrs. I'm not looking for the weirdness, it just appears.

JeSoPazzaAugust 4, 2022

surreptitiously Googles 'shifting' and 'otherkins'<

AlagraAugust 22, 2022

The DID stuff with people taking having multiple personalities used to be otherkin, thinking you had the soul of a being (usually fictional) in you so you actually ARE that character. It was all crazy fandom roleplaying, but they found a medical label they can appropriate to sound "real"

puppy_catAugust 2, 2022

TiFs definitely notice the rampant misogyny of TiMs, but are too timid to ever call it out. Most of them will still bend the knee to Mx. Spinny Skirt and say that the TiM is so much more "oppressed" than they are.

Trans activists have spent decades trying to get people to understand that it isn't a fetish and what do we end up with?

A movement of fetishists posing as a civil rights movement?

BeachBleachAugust 7, 2022

DING DING DING DING DING!! The irony meter just broke.

DietCokeAddictAugust 2, 2022

Lots to unpack here, but the TIF talking about

my boytits

Erm… you know there’s already a word for that, right? If you’re a man with boobs, why not just call them the well-established term we already have?

FeministunderyrbedAugust 2, 2022

Because “boytits” is more infantile.

Yeah, well, welcome to the party I guess.

So many trans groups have become incredibly dysphoria-inducing bordering on fetishistic.

TW for quoting extremely dysphoria triggering language in the spoilers

So I joined a few trans groups on FB just to see what they were like and holy fuck I have never hit the "leave group" button so fast. One group, in particular, was just disgusting. There is no better word for it. Pure fetishistic cringe. I need to vent because I am still reeling from the garbage I read.

Pretty much every post was something along the lines of "I love wearing short skirts so my girlcock can catch the breeze" or "I don't want top surgery because I love having my boytits played with" or "tucking is for the weak, gotta show that shit off and my least favorite of all "they/them (or he/him) pussy hits different" Along with just endless nonsense about how "loving your trans body" (aka not having any dysphoria) is totes super valid.

Also bullshit of note:

  • Saying that trans men are traitors to the community because we apparently just hide away and never did anything like "the strong BIPOC transfemmes."
  • Saying that passing and especially being stealth is transphobic.
  • Saying that "transmascs" don't really experience transphobia like "transfemmes" (see again, the claim that we apparently all pass super easy and then just "hide" and betray "transfemmes")
  • White "trans" people claiming that white trans people (especially trans men) don't REALLY have any issues and just get everything handed to them when transitioning and are automatically accepted by everyone.
  • Endless "uwu thigh high, cat ears, skirt go spinny" posts.
  • Saying that HRT will lead you to develop fetishes. Treating this claim as a positive thing to look forward to.
  • The uniroinic use of the word "clitty"
  • "trans men should donate their uteruses to trans women."

How are we supposed to ever get taken seriously when our identity is being appropriated by these freaks?

Comment:

I don't like to kink shame, but god, the fetishy stuff is so annoying. Trans activists have spent decades trying to get people to understand that it isn't a fetish and what do we end up with? A bunch of weebs who think being a woman is wearing long socks and liking catgirls who tell us our dysphoria doesn't make us trans.

Archived.

sounds very transphobic to me

They want to believe that surgically modifying their bodies makes them the sex they long to be. Well, no it doesn’t. They’re still deluded misogynists, just more committed to it. They’re also experts at mental gymnastics. There is barely any difference imo and they are just as gross and despicable.

real_feministAugust 2, 2022

Some of them do admit that the surgeries don't actually make them the opposite sex. I think what everyone thought transsexual meant prior to ten years ago is what "truscum" is now.

ovaryactingAugust 2, 2022

This is correct.

disco_metalAugust 2, 2022

The funny thing is that I’ve heard (from some part of the online trans community, I think the transmedicalists themselves) that there’s a “tucute-to-TERF pipeline.”
