@Ash I enjoyed some of the later seasons but they just weren't as good.
@Gwideon I don't code, but I find it hard to do anything else while listening to music. I either focus on the music and ignore the other thing, or I focus on the other thing and tune out (heh) the music.
I do (or did) listen to a lot of soundtracks, more so than I really listen to other genres of music
Please leave any feedback or questions about these processes on this other post.
Two weeks ago, we updated The Code of Conduct to directly address concerns over pronoun usage. We tried to anticipate likely questions, but… missed the mark a bit. Inspired by Gareth McCaughan’s excellent post...
@Yuuki She puts a lot of herself into that, without missing Dylan's point. Most covers I see don't hit both of those.
In his autobiography Dylan says that he stops singing a song if he doesn't feel the way he did when he wrote it, and can't find a new way to sing it that fits how he feels now.
Is that the main issue? Reading a webcomic is bad but a physical copy makes it ok/manageable?

@BESW aw, you're the sweetest <3 I figure I will live vicariously through the bits for now and someday I will get them and read them so slowly because that's how comics go for me. Slow, slow, slow.
Comics are tricky slippery beasts, my brain doesn't know how to look and it takes the whole page all at once and then screams at how it doesn't make sense because I can't follow it

But some graphic novels have simple enough art that I can make a go of it.
Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on things at the moment. The improved FAQ (and the post taking questions about it) are getting a little bit of "but what if I just really don't want to follow the CoC?" Gish-Galloping, but it's not gotten half as bad as the last one, and it seems like the mods are being more proactive in stamping out the vitriol.
@Gwideon To be fair, it's approximately a 80% carbon copy of the one that I pointed out, the remaining 20% appearing to be based on the general sentiments Aza pointed out (or similar sentiments expressed by other users), so naturally it's going to just be better.
Having said that, the post they created for soliciting feedback on the new FAQ is hovering around 0, so personally, I'm still holding my breath a bit.
At this point though, I think it's fair to say most objections to the new FAQ are just proxy for objections to the Code of Conduct changes themselves, which we already knew were a lot of users, so while troubling, it's not really new information.
yeah. some people are just being really resistant to an arguably needed change. It's less that the old "be nice" policy didn't cover this it's more of a clarification and strengthening of SE's stance on this particular issue and pointing out that this is part of what they consider being nice
Which is unfortunate, because based on her public statements it definitely seems like she doesn't approve of people using her situation to justify transphobic rhetoric.
