Comments can also be useful for explaining what the code is intended to do when debugging.

"Hey this function says it should return the number of apples, but looks like someone, not saying who, but someone had a brain fart and typed oranges in one variable. Who wrote this code anyway?"

Past me sucks.

I think even the second comment is not that helpful.

Just use (boolean) variables that phrase what your comment would explain, often more concise and better to read IMO. Also if the logic is more complex compose multiple named (boolean) variables. I think comments seldom make any sense at all (function doc is a one of the rare cases, mostly for the user of the library in the IDE).

fair enough

And if you’re male.

Edit: FFS does no one realize that women experience sex differently from men? Bad sex with an oblivious partner can be downright painful for a woman. The same is typically not true for men. My point was not that women don’t have sex or that they don’t enjoy sex. My point is that they don’t experience it the same way as men.
