That's my only take. She murdered her child. Heinously, if the description is accurate. Harvard has the right to look at a person's entire resume when deciding whether to accept someone, and that is an incredibly dark black mark.

But the rest is accurate. You like going on those subreddits and play-acting like you're a racist or fat-shamer just for the fun of it.

People don't seem to understand that a lot of negative behavior exists in a context, and if you remove the context, the negative behavior can largely disappear. It doesn't necessarily just go elsewhere.

You enjoyed getting on those subreddits to spewing hate against black or fat people. Not because you're racist or "antifatist." But because it's fun? Although you do consider those your political views (making fun of peo

Hillary Clinton (two "L"s) never ran the Clinton Foundation. She spent two years on the Board. The President of the Clinton Foundation is Donna Shalala. And the person who probably actually leads it is the founder: Bill Clinton.

Well, it's confusing because both include the word "Clinton," but one is a human being who, amongst other things, ran for President in 2016. The other is a non-profit humanitarian organization. Two different things.

Nope. You're probably thinking of the $25m the Saudis gave to the Clinton Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian organization.

That's actually not true. A lot of thought has gone into healthy community building -- both on- and offline. But, yes, it can be easy to get wrong. Takes work. Which online communities (especially) oftentimes seem either unwilling or u

Toxic != controversial. Toxic means poisonous. Toxicity in communities spoils the community because people place bickering, verbal fighting, and beating other people at insults over communicating ideas, debating, and respecting one another.

Heh. I get a little defensive sometimes. ;-) Again: I'm not an expert. But I feel I've been around the block on this topic. Some people think it's a naughty word, but: Moderation. Or -- to put it in different terms -- a commu

You're thinking good thoughts as far as being aware of the various effects that software design will have on community. Hacker News, for example, restricts certain actions (like downvoting) until you've crossed a certain participa

You know why Reddit and Twitter became some toxic environments? Because they're not designed for healthy community development. And neither is this. It's a mindless clone and it already looks like it's turning toxic.

> ...MVP made for free from friends/contractor. > I currently own 100%... This is not a reassuring combination of facts. You should start by giving the people who built your product some compensation.

The average household income in the US -- one of the wealthiest countries in the world -- is, like, $55k/yr. If you've got some 9-to-5 job pulling down $80k/yr with no kids or dependencies, you're rich to a lot of people

Only one side was celebrating racism and genocide. (And, weirdly, tiki torches.)

It wasn't really an argument. Most of a roundabout way of saying that the white suprematists out in force this weekend celebrating racism and genocide were far righters. And I think you'll find that Nazi and Confederate flag-wavin

It's true. The far right wants to celebrate racism and genocide. The far left wants single-payer healthcare and open access to economic opportunities for women and minorities. Very divisive.
