No, lucozade put it well: Being virtuous is unrelated to saying you are. That does not mean that saying you're virtuous means you are not. Simply that there is no causal connection.

Virtue signalling is not about being virtuous. The other, much more important part, is the signalling. The impulse of companites/people/etc to brag about being virtous only to appear in a better light. A bit like vegeratians who o

The anti-trump ice cream is virtue signaling in itself - without the skin-bleaching cream thing.

I'm not sure if that self-interest thing was misinterpreted. What I meant is that when people are alienated by corporate politics enough to not buy their things - then it's no longer in the economic self interest of the company.

I'm baffled that virtue signaling and openly blasting politics is still so widespread in companies and organizations. I have a huge "shit list" of those who I see guilty enough to not want any business. Unfortunately especial

antisemitism is legal. antisemitism is as much a part of Gab as other "bad" things are part of Twitter or HN.

The owners personal opinions have nothing to do with this. Gab contains things which people like you don't like. Every website contains contents that other people don't like. Gab is nothing special, besides allowing a bit more of

There was a facebook livestream where a disabled man was tortured. Twitter contains horrible racism. Why is Gab measured different? It's simply free speech. Not even that by the way, since certain types of porn were recently banned.

I'm not sure but I might have sent a (male) coworker an emoji before that could be interpreted as "simulated physical contact". And who knows what made up pronouns some coworkers secretly want to be used.

I feel like if a software has a rule against using certain smileys - it's not a good sign of stability. Within such a few years so much was lost of the simple and innocent craft of writing software. It's a minefield now. I'm

I just wish we could keep software free of politics. If anyone honestly thinks this is a harmless little text they're incredible naive. There is less and less software left without these heavy agendas. It's a sad day

There is no reasonable process to verify refugee claims. There are countless cases of refugees having multiple "identities" by just going from center to center and get their money. Even Anis amri (Berlin terrorist) had 14 identiti
