I think I've seen main instead of master, but I don't even recall that being a political issue. Although, I'm biased by my empiricism which means I generally only keep track of actual policy rather than "culture war&quot

Whether you personally do or do not want an abortion, you can be in favor of someone having a choice.

The debate is about the right to get an abortion, not personal preference. The opposition believes there should be no right for anyone. In a context where you're discussing politics and not medical history, the presumption is that &quo

It makes for more creative challenges. If someone has a good idea for a Mario game, they could do it. If Nintendo wants to create something unique, they'd have to take more risks and create something new. We're talking one new cha

It very much depends. The gender pay gap is largely due to men being disproportionately in power, so places where men gather tend to have professional benefits for the men in there. As such, it depends culturally on how welcome trans men ar

I wish people would stop treating Bryan Lunduke like he's still an authority. He's gotten so into being the "Linux Sucks" guy that he's slowly turned into a source for FUD in the FOSS community. For instance, he goe
