So I was contemplating this paradox yesterday: If I had to, nay, MUST make a choice between having sex in my life or having programming, which would I choose?
I'm still pondering this, what does /prog/ think? Let's do a quick poll, just post either "I'd choose Sex!" or "I choose programing!" or something to that effect. I'm really interested in this question and would love to hear /prog/'s opinion on this...

I don't need a reason to be or to do something. Plus, that question is a difficult to answer. Why do you think YOU are here? Just admit it, you're a mediocre retard, who can't fuck good nor code well, and you'd just wish you could do both.

You must be here for a reason. People never do things randomly.
/prog/ is a programming textboard, so if you don't care about programming why bother coming here?
It's strange.
I'm here because I love programming and love the community.
There's no reason to be an aggressive anus.
You must be here for a reason.
"X exists but I won't tell you where". If a reason exists, please tell me which that reason is. Because it's difficult to answer for someone you don't know, I was kind enough to ask you of YOUR reason instead, a question which you ignored.
I'm here because I love programming and love the community.
You sound like a retard.
i'd choose sex and live
1) a more happy life
2) work from 8 to 5
3) if i'm still interested in computers after oh-so-many orgasms i'd choose another field in IT
I'm glad I'd never really have to choose this, CAUSE
I’m proud to be an American where as least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to LA,
Well, there’s pride in every American heart,
and it’s time to stand and say:
I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.

Interesting thread, OP. It's a FUCKING hard decision (no pun intended lool) but I'd probably have to go with programming. Don't quote me on that though lol if a hotty comes knocking(!)
Hmmm, I'm glad you made this topic OP, I've thought about this question a lot. I think I'd have to choose programming because it is my money maker, but damn would I miss the sex.

that thread reached 1000, this is the followup thread. Also, funnier? It's not supposed to be funny jackass, it's a serious question. Perhaps you should go back to /b/ now.
And I think the only reason I'm posting this is to see what the reaction to that would be. I want women to disappear from here, and I don't know if women ever post topics on here....
Am I going to get laughed out? Dissed? Cursed out? Criticized? Should I be somewhere in the background, or just run the hell away from here while I have the chance?
I think I just liked the idea of this forum being full of dudes, cause I like dudes.

This board is a wasteland. It's like the post-apocalyptic version of Earth from the Mad Max movies, where once there was a thriving little civilization about as sophisticated as downtown Queens in 1910. The people who still come here now are mostly non-programmer trolls from /b/ and /g/ (I call them the /b/ee/g/ees) whose ideas about gender equality are almost as medieval as the average attendee at RailsConf. So, basically, all of them are going to shit themselves as soon as they see your post. They'll go on spamming this board with the same stupid shit you see all over this thread.
I don't really know where I'm going with this, actually. The whole post kind of got away from me there. Just ignore the stupid trolls because they'll derail any kind of discussion anyone tries to have here ever. Not like anyone will actually ignore them anyway.

You know how to program. If you don't, get out.
You're on 4chan.
You're on /prog/.
You prefer sex over programming.
You are a virgin, no chance that you aren't.
As much as I despise these threads, in my morning meditation I came to realise that we need them. Having a designated place to shit saves us from people from shitting all over the board (to the abilities of their toilet training anyway). One day, /prog/ will be the haven from programmer trolls it once was, as opposed to the Just trolls who are here at the moment, but until then having a few litter trays is going to have to be the best we can do

nailed it
I'm a newcomer to /prog/, (linked to this thread's precursor by digg), I've been following both threads and even though I no exactly nothing about it, I'm going to have to go with programming. /prog/ seems to have a tendency to label people who choose sex as virgins, and I don't want that label tacked on me right off the bat! Especially since I might stick around :P the quality of discussion on this issue is great!

I've been following this thread and the last one but I haven't posted my choice yet. It would have to be sex; programming is just too much of an unknown quantity to me, I can't take the risk that I'd enjoy it LESS than sex. Trolls can call me a virgin all they like, I'm happy with my decision.
I am a /b/tard venturing forth into the boards of 4chan. I would like to humbly inquire as to what this board is actually focussed around.

On one hand, I'd have lost 5 years of my life studying something and I couldn't do anymore, so I'd have to start all over again. On the other and, I wouldn't get sex, but my odds of getting sex are already pretty low without that choice.
I know it's only a matter of about 15 years until neural interfaces are good enough to allow me to experience being viciously sexually assaulted by my favorite Touhous, so I will stay strong.

This is fucking bullshit. It'll never happen in your lifetime bro! Don't be a fool! You wan't an entire life without sex? You fucked up?
Hello, I’ve been reading for a while now, but never had the guts to post. I started to feel a little guilty and that I should not be so shy, that I should make my presence known if I’m going to keep visiting.
Truthfully I am deafly afraid of rejection, although I’m very capable of exhibiting an indifferent/carefree attitude to the outside world that allows me to function in society. I'm now 27, still a virgin and attending Uni. I have a few friends from high school I still talk to that don’t know I’m a virgin, at least I hope. They all have girlfriends, and I think some/all of them are beginning to question what is wrong with me. I now fear losing the few friends I have more and more frequently. I used to drink dreadfully to cope but gave it up after realising the kind of girl I wanted would never be with a drunk.
I had a sever infatuation that I was certain was love with one girl in particular who I learned later from my best friend, was actually frightened of me. It devastated me and I have never gotten over her. I had constant dreams about this girl that made me feel more connected to her than anyone else on this earth, and they were not always sex dreams.
Anyway every year I get older. I’ve justified continued living for pastimes I find enjoyable particularly video/PC games, which get me by. I would love to see humans land on Mars in my life time too. I’ve researched how to kill myself correctly though in case. It’s my inalienable right to depart from this world at a time of my choosing if I decide I have had enough and it’s not for me. Suicidal phases come and go but I’m too focused on Uni at the moment to feel hopelessly depressed.
I’m not sure if posting her is right for me at this phase of my life, but I have read that Uni is my 'last best chance' to beat this. I consider myself capable of talking to almost anyone including girls if the situation/context is appropriate. However I cannot ask a girl 'out' the concept is just totally alien to me. I do not know what it even entails/how to do it. I am too scared of rejection to do anything resembling 'asking a girl out'. Basically I’m posting out of fear, am I destined to go on alone? Recently I have also begun to feel I have something dreadfully wrong with me, something that cannot ever be fixed no matter what I do for self improvement.
That terrible massacre in the Gym really hit home with me too. I could never hurt another soul like that but I really felt bad for the guy. He got the nice car, the nice house, and was still screwed because he couldn’t connect with a female. I saw myself in his obvious pain. He was further down the road then me is perhaps all? Truthfully I think he was quite strong to make it to what 44? I would have ended it before then, I’m pretty certain.
I really wish I knew how to get past this but I have less optimism these days than in my early 20’s. If anyone can help offer advice I would listen, Thank you.

so 3 couples eating dinner
meanwhile : Im in my room having some kind of psychotic episode, trashed my room, started hallucinating, couldnt see or stand up etc.
housemate who invited guy round fucking screws at me in the middle of this episode about not saying hello to random guy.
Im too out of it to say anything -
text today : "I cant believe you completely blanked peter (guy)"
text back: "oh, im so sorry, next time i have a psychotic episode I'll make it a priority to say hello to someone I don't like. also Ill do your dissertation and roll you a joint while im at it.:D"

It seems to me that purity, faithfulness and decency are nowadays nothing more than miserable stigma. The human value is measured only by economic efficiency and sexual potential.
Women often claim that they want romantic guys. Yeah, right. If you are shy and deeply romantic you will easily get trapped in the friendzone. Shyness and romanticism is a deadly combination.

GORDON Brown had an amazing late-night phone bust-up with a grieving Forces mum, The Sun can reveal today.
The Prime Minister had outraged Jacqui Janes by mis-spelling her and her dead son's names in a note of condolence.
But Mr Brown DENIED making the mistakes during the 13-minute call to shocked Jacqui.
A transcript reveals the mum of Guardsman Jamie, 20, below, told him: "I beg to differ."
The Prime Minister rang Jacqui to blame poor handwriting for any "misunderstanding" on the spelling exposed in The Sun yesterday.
Outraged Jacqui, 47, hit the phone's loudspeaker button to record the call - as she seized the chance to nail him over equipment shortages that put Our Boys in peril.
She handed her tape to The Sun.
Mistakes ... letter sent by PM to Jacqui
Mistakes ... letter sent by PM to Jacqui
John Connor Press Associates Ltd
In it, heartbroken Jacqui - whose boy Jamie, 20, was killed by a bomb in Afghanistan - tells the Prime Minister: "Mr Brown, listen to me... I know every injury that my child sustained that day. I know that my son could have survived. But my son bled to death."
Challenging him over too few helicopters being sent to whisk casualties from the warzone, she asked him: "How would you like it if one of your children, God forbid, went to a war - helping protect his Queen and country - and because of lack, LACK of helicopters, lack of equipment your child bled to death?
"And then you had the coroner have to tell you his every injury?"
The PM replied: "I do understand but I think you have got to also understand that I feel very strongly about this as, as you do."
He then went on to deny Britain's Forces were under-equipped - just as he repeatedly denied mis-spelling Grenadier Guardsman Jamie's name in his letter of condolence.
Jacqui told him "I beg to differ".
She said last night of putting the PM on the spot: "I was speaking for every serving soldier who is not allowed to speak and every mum, dad, child, brother and sister of every soldier.
"I felt Jamie gave me the strength somehow and I know he would have been so proud.
"I was shaking because I was so angry about the letter and I had so much I wanted to say to him.
"I don't know why he called. It felt like he was trying to put me right instead of make me feel better."
The mum of six added: "I didn't get the impression Mr Brown felt anything except anger and embarrassment that I made his mistakes public."

Quantcast
Explaining why she made the recording, Jacqui said: "I was so shocked when he called I knew I wouldn't be able to remember what he said."
Mr Brown insisted yesterday as he headed to Germany to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall: "I have at all times acted in good faith seeking to do the right thing.
"I do not think anyone will believe that I write letters with any intent to cause offence."
He again blamed his handwriting - even as it emerged he last month called fallen Jamie by the surname "James" in the COMMONS.
That blunder came as he listed 37 servicemen who had lost their lives in Afghanistan over the summer.
His slip had to be corrected in Hansard, the official record of Parliament's proceedings.
The Sun was about to go to press with Monday's paper when the PM phoned Jacqui in Portslade, West Sussex, at 10pm on Sunday.
She had condemned his letter as a "hastily scrawled insult" - claiming to have counted one spelling mistake after another.
The mum was so stunned to get a call from the Prime Minister she missed recording the first seconds of the conversation.
During it she even admitted: "I cannot believe I have been brought down to the level of having an argument with the Prime Minister of my own country."
Mr Brown told her: "My writing is maybe so badly (speech muffled) that you can't read it."
Call ... Gordon Brown
Call ... Gordon Brown
Jacqui hit back: "I don't want to sound disrespectful here, but it was an insult to my child. There was 25 spelling mistakes - 25."
The PM, who in his letter appeared to have corrected the spelling of Jamie, replied: "There wasn't."
Exasperated, she told him: "Mr Brown I've got the letter in front of me."
Mr Brown said: "I've got the letter in front of me and if you feel that my writing was not right then I'm sorry about that."
Jacqui - whose son Andrew, 26, is also in the Army - stressed she supported our troops being in Afghanistan.
But she refused to accept the PM's explanations for the woeful lack of helicopters - highlighted by The Sun in our campaign to remind him: Don't You Know There's a Bloody War On?
Jacqui said: "He has told the country he called to say sorry for any 'unintended mistake'.
"But he completely denied making any mistakes, blaming me for not being able to read his writing.
"And he certainly did not apologise. I wanted people to hear it so they could make up their own minds whether that was an apology - instead of the Downing Street spin on it."
The uproar over his slapdash letter erupted after Mr Brown FORGOT to bow his head at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
Yesterday critics accused him of blundering from one self-inflicted crisis to another.
Downing Street officials were left squirming as they had to change their tune over the letter yesterday.
The PM's spokesman initially refused to admit Mr Brown made any mistakes.
Story ... Sun front page
Story ... Sun front page
The aide said of Jacqui: "Clearly there are things in the letter that she misinterpreted."
But at lunchtime a statement was rushed out by the PM himself as he tried to stem the row.
In it, Mr Brown said: "I take very seriously my responsibility to the bereaved. I have telephoned Jacqui Janes to apologise for any unintended mistake in the letter.
"To all other families whom I have written to, I can only apologise if my handwriting is difficult to read."
No10 refused to comment on how the letter went out at all unchecked.
Mr Brown will continue to hand write notes to the families of fallen Forces personnel - which is a tradition for all Prime Ministers.
Last night Jacqui said of his call to her: "He told me he was sorry I had taken offence, not that he had caused it.
"He said sorry I couldn't read his handwriting and he was sorry I felt so strongly. He said sorry 16 times, but he never apologised once.
"If he calls that an apology he doesn't know what the word means."
She added: "I didn't want one more mum getting a letter like this. It was an insult to Jamie and to all the soldiers fighting for this country. It was indicative of this Government's whole attitude to our Forces."
Describing how she was determined to put her case about equipment shortages, she said: "I had dreamed of that moment.
"We have the best Army in the world and they deserve better.
"I will fight for them in Jamie's memory and I will not stop until the Government finally starts to listen."

My mom practically wasn't even like the town, I shit you not.
My entire adolescence was trying to get people.

But dear god, the adult couple that I could fucking creep, and they had a cat, which I fucked up.
I ended up getting into fights with adults from time to time.
The only thing that kept me going was my dream...
...to become a Pokemon master.
You know, having both would not be much of a problem. It's like my mentor once said; "If you think something lies at the end of a rainbow, that's where it'll stay.
If you think something lies within you, that's where it'll be..."
