You're trying to generalize a useful rule ("shun white supremacists") but it doesn't work in this case. I don't think we need to, either. We're not robots. We can shun white supremacists and leave everyone el

Everyone should censor and shun white supremacists. They have no place in modern society. When they shed their noxious views, we can all welcome them back with open arms.

I also never heard that, not once. The entirety of the pro-education message I received all through my youth and schooling was, "get a degree, it doesn't matter what in, and you'll get a white-collar office job." That&#x

The problem is that, yes, this is the ideal, but when the ideal ran up against the real world usage of these tools, two things happened, one inevitable and the other just a bad choice: 1) a small, extremely vocal group of devs kept remindi

We're all entirely dependent one things outside our control, and it's a worldview that's romanticized to the point of silliness to say anything else. As for the land grant you're talking about, that's a huge, huge g

Signal has some serious problems and I'm glad other people out there are talking about this, too. I ended up stopping using Signal (except for a few holdouts) because of the message delivery problems; it caused way too many social prob

I have, and the built-in tools are weak or cumbersome to the point of being useless (or were when I moved off to bitbucket). The wiki had its own weird markup at the time, so people who might have helped me write documentation were faced wi

Yep. It's just frustrating seeing anti-union propaganda repeated, uncritically, unthinkingly, year after year, especially on a forum where people pride themselves on being thoughtful people. Of course unions can be corrupt, but the on

Those for whom a union would not be a benefit are so exceedingly few, but this is the standard anti-union message that has been given out for the last 40 years. Game devs are hardest hit by bad conditions, but every worker in every company

We sure do, and our stuff is generally a little more expensive than the Chinese-made import but a lot higher quality. My go-to example is brooms and mops. Libman makes their brooms and mops in the US, and I'll never buy another brand

The big war machine isn't what keeps us safe; that is a fetishization of the military that has always been around as a justification for outsized military budgets. Saying that we've gotten research via military funding also disreg

You can redistribute the source, and that's what really matters. No one ever made any claims to redistributing binaries, and that's neither the letter nor the spirit of th GPL. The GPL is about user freedom, which relies on sou

Too much protein can also kick you off/keep you off keto. Definitely up the fat, especially cause grilled chicken won't be particularly fatty itself...

You don't know whether I'm trapped in anything, and I certainly feel no particular guilt at all about being a white dude; none at all. Now, what's condescending or insulting?

Important to remember that AIDS was first called GRIDS (gay-related immune deficiency syndrome).

What makes it condescending or insulting? I'm not seeing either one.

Why is "don't say hurtful things" better than "gain empathy and insight into the lives of a group of people who are generally very badly off, in very large part because our country allowed them to be enslaved for hundred

Why not? What would be a better reason? Or, do you think white people should feel free to use that word? Because there was a time when white people felt free to use that word, and there are still pockets of white society where people feel

I'll chime in and say, the social stuff has never been a problem when I've done keto. Out at bars, I'll have whiskey + diet cokes, gin + club sodas, basically anything that's a shot and a calorie-free mixer and you&#x27

American charitable donations are only so high because church tithing counts. When's the last time you saw a church organize a street cleaning party, though? (or opening its tax-free building to the homeless?)

Not disputing that sometimes that might be the case, but I knew someone who was using a shady list, sending out to 20k+ people, and every time they sent out a blast they got multiple complaints...but never shut down. So maybe the answer is

You are absolutely proposing restricting freedom, just that you want to be the one defining how to do so, i.e. you want to be in charge. It is a story as old as time.

I don't think he meant, but it's unclear whether you think that's what should happen. I'll go in and say it should be redistributed to the population at large -- anything that gets us, as a species, closer to that Star T

Is that like the Slivovitz you can find in the balkans? If so, the homebrew stuff is definitely tops (if you have relatives who still distill their own) but there's serviceable mass-market stuff you can get in some US liquor stores.

No, no person is a animal and it's misguided and inappropriate to make the comparison. People who behave cruelly aren't animals, they're people who behave cruelly and we should seek to minimize/stop their cruelty and abi
