Watching Warner Brothers fail to learn this lesson for a decade before finally releasing a good Superman movie was frankly a little sureal.

You don't have to imagine. For some reason beyond my ken, monster energy has achieved meme status in queer circles. I was half-surprised one of the pictured people wasn't wearing pink headphones with attached cat ears.

A father of a trans kid responded to you in the other subthread. By your own reckoning, this person is a monster and the type of person kids need to be saved from. But instead of arguing with him, getting angry with him, expressing sorrow

Hating on Mississippi is an age-old Southern tradition. Unless you're from Mississippi, then you hate on Alabama.

I've been convinced for a while that the religious angle against queer folk is just a front. Instead of honest religious conviction, I think the pearl clutching is the manifestation of the collective paranoia of weak men who are terrif

Most users default to search engines instead of typing in a URL. I searched for "pirate bay" just now and all of the top results are mirrors or lists of mirrors.

I don't believe you have a neighbor with a transgender kid that you have any genuine concern for.

That's one domain down. Only 3,524 domains that just cropped up yesterday to go. Never mind the fact that doing a Google search will surface pages on various wikis, git repositories, and other sites that conveniently list all of the m

Absurd, isn't it? Hopefully, now you have some appreciation for how ridiculous you sound spewing blood libels.

Indeed. If you leer at a young girl, you need the reassurance that they're a biological girl and not a boy on hormone blockers. Is that why you're so obsessed with your neighbors kid? Or do they even exist?

It never ceases to amaze me how people will happily parrot the most vile blood libels about entire groups of people they don't know. All because they're terrified that the next woman they leer at might not have been born with the

The sort of understanding the GP is promoting doesn't have to be used empathetically. It can also be used on bad faith actors by giving you better avenues of winning over the audience - which is the only real point of continuing a conv

There is a lot more groupthink and echo chamber behavior on HN compared to Reddit due to the way flagging works. For me, HN is unusable without using showdead and using the active front page so I can see what stories its userbase tried to

Everything I've ever heard about XAML from folks who have used it has been positive. Seems to me like the kind of thing that was forgotten about due to being joined at the hip with Microsoft, not necessarily because it was a bad idea.

Possibly? I was a web developer before I started delving into desktop development, so I don't really know a ton about XAML.

I don't use them terribly often, but one thing that old control panel windows did was pack a lot of information into a small amount of space. Device Manager has that nice tree setup allowing me to see problematic devices a lot quicker.

That is the self-interested feeling that Open Source preys on. And I do mean "prey" with a negative connotation. One of the biggest perks of Open Source from a company's perspective is that you can get developers to work on
