Twisted- on strike - Check bio

  • I started with Python (hence my avatar), and have a beginner's working knowledge of C/C++, Java, and C#/.NET. Also trying to learn Lua as of November 2022.
  • I chose this display name because I wanted a user handle that summarized two of my outstanding personality traits: I'm not normal, and in fact consider the concept of normal to be "overrated" (twisted), and I love programming (code). It's a bit antiquated and definitely redundant in the case of stack overflow, but I use it everywhere at this point.
  • Please be advised, I have a bad habit of jumping straight to asking questions without sufficient effort to doing my own research. If I end up help vamping, please feel free to call me out on it, but I'd prefer you refrain from downvoting for this reason except as a last resort. I'd rather you let me know what search terms or other research methods you tried because often times I actually did do a search and just miss the obvious keywords! What can I say, I'm blond!
  • oh, and I'm quadriplegic. My ability to code is not inhibited much thanks to such applications as Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but it does account for some of my typographical challenges.

Notice about my display name and stated location: as of 1687989253 UNIX Time, I began what can best be described as "an indefinite hiatus from asking or answering questions" on this platform. You might occasionally see me comment, but given Stack Exchange Inc.'s EXCEEDINGLY clear stance on the matter of AI generated answers (going so far as to blatantly misrepresent the grievances of the objecting moderators in a press release. Also I can't help but feel this is dangerously similar to the Reddit blackout last year. Fascinating...), I cannot in good confidence contribute my own answers to the platform's baseline. If someone has to explicitly say that their answer is AI generated in order to be banned, I certainly won't be bothering putting effort into non-AI-generate answers. At least, not for now.
