First: stay strong, you got this.

If you're "not really" into CS, I would think long and hard before committing to it. While it's very useful to pick up a few basic skills, studying theoretical computer science is a whole different level. I'd suggest you look at the basics, start programming on some of the websites people have suggested in the comments and do a few small projects for yourself. Then at least you'll know, if you have fun programming and problem solving.

I studied computer science without knowing much about it when I started, and it was a good decision for me - however it wouldn't have been for everyone.

It's still good to mention it, when they are mentioned. I mean, otherwise we just normalise that status.

I must be mistaken, then! Thanks for pointing it out. Doesn't change the funny harshness of the name - pill is similar after all..

Really? Mhm, I guess it may differ throughout Germany?

Yeah, it's pretty straightforward. I raise "baby-not-today-pill".

Can't submit, if I don't know anyone with visual impairments, and hence can't answer the following questions. Consider submitting that answer an option, so you will have a much clearer picture of the statistics of visual impairments.

I raise you "anti-baby-pill" from Germany.

Edit: anti-baby-pill refers to contraceptive pill.

Haven't played the game in years, and wasn't aware of any of this. People discussing "What's worse, Saudi Arabia or Niantic?" feels positively dystopian.
