Q: Is it ok for boys to show tits or belly buttons?

spd_517I mean, well first off we know that duh! of course its ok! but geez when you think about it its only when they're already shirtless for some reason, like hot weather, going swimming or surfing, etc etc. But is it ok for guys to purposely flash their tits or buttons? (And by this I'm specificall...

@Magisch @Rainbacon if you have a chance review queues could use some eyes still
 
7:42 AM
Why do we have a ticker feed?
Oh, the HNQ question feed is working for once XD
interpersonal.stackexchange.com/q/25660/1599 < The answers there could use a lot of eyes too.

@Tinkeringbell Morning!
Sooo, i found out that one of our Java apps have no decent logging whatsoever
it uses printStackTrace which basically outputs to a console
 
Isn't that what you want? :P
 
because it's a production app, there is no console and there is no way to diagnose such app without a debugging environment
so i had to quickly setup java and all its stuff (I know nothing of Java other than SO helping me out) and figure it out what happened

Q: Using e.printStackTrace() in Java

O_OThis is probably a newbie question, but hope you can help me. :) I have something like this: try { //try to do something there } catch (IOException e) { //handle the exception e.printStackTrace(); } I am using NetBeans IDE and for some reason the printStackTrace is underlined in a squiggly l...

 
Ah, yeah that's no good.
I like having my errors on a console though XD
 
i'm gonna switch it up to show on the program listview
@Tinkeringbell if there was a default method of outputting to a file i would be fine
 
@CaldeiraG There probably is something like that?
You probably set up an outputstream or something then, and send the stacktrace there?
 
8:11 AM
yeah, it should do
SO is ready to help me today :P
 
Good luck! (at least your language has documentation on SO :P)
 
That's a plus
XD

@Mithical Odd that you sent that message when you did as it was right around the time I woke up with heartburn (never get old children). I guess my computer is signing me into TAS in the middle of the night again?
 
It was combined with an ancient summoning spell. You think you woke up with heartburn and blame old age, in reality you refused to answer Mith's summons so you were punished ;)
 
1:05 PM
I just found out that select count(1) from <something that returns 0 rows> still returns a value, and for some reason that bothers me way more than it would if it was count(*)
 
That sounds more interesting than my day so far ;)
I've been mostly running tests (we want to release something somewhere this week), and listening to a political debate.
 
Oh, I listened to some political stuff over the weekend
 
Yeah I wasted some time yesterday on a particular Twitter hashtag so I decided to just listen to the debate about the new legislation today. Found my answers, am glad the legislation passed :)
What was yours about?
 
Mine was the national convention for one of the parties
 
Is that 'fun' or 'interesting' or what happens at such a thing?
Brb, I'm summoned to drink my daily dose of hot leaf flavored water.
 
1:19 PM
It's where they officially nominate their candidates for president and vice president
 
@Tinkeringbell That sounds boring
@Rainbacon That sounds boring
Or infuriating
 
@M.A.R. It certainly was infuriating at times because the pace was so slow. The whole thing was done via zoom because of the pandemic, and let me tell you, 1000 people on a zoom webinar raising their hands for pedantic stuff can get frustrating, but they did select the presidential candidate I wanted, though the VP candidate was one of my lower tier choices.
 
@Rainbacon No, I was simply pinging 4k+ers who were pingable in chat
 
Yo.... What y'all doing?

Q: How to correct my dad's misconception of my partner?

XophmeisterMy dad appears to have a long-standing misconception about my partner of nearly 10 years. These misconceptions are exacerbated during the harder times of my relationship with her, to the point that he can jump to conclusions. As you can imagine, these extrapolated opinions on false premises -- if...

 
@abhas_RewCie Yo
I dun chillin' in mah cozy seatin'
 
@M.A.R. Anything new today?
 
It seems to me I've put on a bit of weight
Other than that, hmm, it's hotter
 
Yep.
It
is
 
.
 
1:48 PM
It's already 40+ here.
 
Kelvin?
 
I take showers usually 4-5 times a day
no, $^o C$
XD
 
OK, if I did that I'd probably scrub my skin off
 
lol...
I've 2 AC(s), still sometimes they become useless in afternoon
Where do you come from?
 
We have one AC and it's turned off 9 months a year
Iran
 
1:51 PM
Iran seems relatively colder....
 
Well, south is hot enough
I'm in the northwest
 
Yes, AC(s) stay off for 9-10 months a year...
 
1200 meters above the sea level
 
Not, really, temperature here drops below 0... El Nino Effect
 
Noobs
 
1:53 PM
lmao
 
We recorded -15 last year
BBL
 
ah... That's cold... If this weren't Pandemic, I'd have preferred to move to some northern state.
where the temperature rarely crosses 30, during day
Then southern during summers...
I'm a travel guy, this quarantine sucks
 
@M.A.R. It's not. It helped a lot to create an informed opinion and decide that once again, Twitter outrages are spreading misinformation and overreactions :P
 
This Interpersonal SE is cringy af...
funny too.
 
@abhas_RewCie ?
 
2:05 PM
@Tinkeringbell nah, nothing...
 
It's not supposed to be!
 
leave it
 
But there's been a few questions yeah...
If there's anything you feel seriously crosses lines, please flag and let us know why :)
 
No, everything fine :)
Okay, is there any interpersonal expert help me with the fear of speaking in Public?
I guess that happens to everyone.
 
That's intrapersonal :P
 
2:07 PM
XD :)
 
inter is between multiple people. Fear is something in your mind ;)
 
Everyone fears of a public failure!
A very new untested, untried idea may fail.
 
It does effect your public speaking though, so if for example you're looking into non-verbally communicating a confident attitude, that's an interpersonal skill you're looking to improve that hindered by an intrapersonal cause. We can't fix the cause but we can tell you to stand up straight ;)
 
So, I try to make my speeches look as ordinary as possible.
Just a cringy question What is the best way to get away, in case I forget my speech or mess up things badly?
XD
 
A poof of white smoke and a glitter curtain.
 
2:10 PM
..?
 
Swap yourself for a hot model if you want extra pizzazz
 
lol
That works :)
XD
But, if a hot model is standing before, then things get more worse...
Who wants to mess up before such things ? :P
 
Hmm.
I don't generally mind messing up. If it happens it happens, and usually people don't mind helping to clean up...
 
Suppose you are so nervous, you fell down.. That's a unnecessary mess :)
Happened once, but I didn't just fell down!
 
@abhas_RewCie everyone makes mistakes, acknowledge it and try again
 
2:17 PM
Sometimes mistakes are not just mistake, that ruins whole reputations.
 
> I forget my speech or mess up things badly
You don't mention stuff that could ruin reputation :P
 
Forgetting speeches ruins reputations...
 
yes and no? reputation are just something for people to judge you XD that doesn't mean your whole life is ruined
 
People are also usually understanding about nerves.
 
@abhas_RewCie I find being able to think on your feet helps. You can't forget your speech if you have nothing to forget....
 
2:22 PM
or you didn't get prepared enough for it
 
See, if you mess up, nothing will keep people from forgetting that you were a failure... Nothing.
@JourneymanGeek What?
 
@abhas_RewCie If you think you will mess up - you will, nerves feed nerves
 
No matter how much I prepare.. that doesn't matter. When in front of people. Damn!
 
and no one can remember everything. I used to prepare index cards, then not use them.
nerviousness is natural, and also feeds on itself
Its rarely going to ruin your life.
 
If you keep on mind you can't do it, you surely can't
 
2:27 PM
I've a problem, I overthink what others think of me... prefer being alone and isolated... that's how I feel comfortable.
 
2:48 PM
@abhas_RewCie A lot of people feel that way but fewer people refer to it as a problem
@CaldeiraG I have moar repz than you
 
@M.A.R. *smacks @M.A.R.* hush

Q: Tactfully asking a date you are interested in having further dates with to slow down physical escalation

Duke LetoUnited States, situation that arises out of expectation of traditional gender roles. Say that Bob goes on a couple if dates with Alice. Alice suddenly and unexpectedly escalates the relationship to physical, all the way until suggesting they go back to Bob's place with the very clear implication...
