It’s certainly true that women who rise to the top of national politics get relentlessly, negatively caricatured (Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi). With Kamala Harris it’s different because a lot of the murmuring comes from Democrats and they never say why.
Will someone please come out and say what the problem with Kamala Harris is? I see people hinting about it all the time, but I have no idea what it’s all about.
No, no, no-no, no-no-no-no, no-no-no!
You’re making my point for me. Will someone please think of the pandas? Also, the “/s” doesn’t affect pandas when in quotes.
Every time you “/s” a baby panda dies. Just say no to “/s”.
I’m going to need to see your passport to prove you’re not American. Otherwise fines may be assessed.
What I hear you saying is that we need to make an example out of him to deter other asshats from acting on their hate. I buy that.
Also, I think people like him do these kinds of things because they want to hurt people. I want to deny them that satisfaction, to the extent it is possible.
I didn’t mean to imply that those were the only acts of persecution committed against him.
And about the flag pisser: What he did was wrong. It was a hate crime. It is appropriate that he is punished for it. Peoples’ outrage about it is justified.
The perpetrator deserves to be punished. I’m not arguing against punishing him. I’m arguing against rewarding him.
I absolutely think everyone should know that Turing was betrayed by scoundrels which led to his arrest for the crime of being himself (it was illegal to be gay at that time in the UK). After that he couldn’t get a job, despite being the best ever in the world at his job. After that, he fell into hopelessness and took his own life.
Let’s make sure everyone knows the stories of queer heroes, like Alan Turing, a titan of computer science, information theory, and cryptography whose efforts helped save the world at one of its darkest hours.
…who was then so severely persecuted because he was gay that he wound up in an early grave.
The real wrong that people need to be educated on is that respect for the human rights of others is not a “political opinion”.
Anyone who doesn’t know that urinating on others’ property (without their consent) is wrong has something so severely broken in them that public shaming can’t fix it.
My point was just that given a large enough population you can always find idiots who do outrageous things for attention. I think denying them attention makes it less likely that others follow in their footsteps.
What? Isn’t this just a crazy guy who is not at all worth a thought, much less our attention? Why does this loser matter? Why is this at all even slightly newsworthy?
Yet that’s several times the rate in comparably sized areas in Europe.
I would be interested in learning what people find objectionable about my comments, if anyone would care to share.
Yes the developer sees it, and also the data brokers they sell all their user data to see it, aggregate it, and corollate it. Not to mention whatever Microsoft does with it.

But I think I get it:
Let’s say you really love the rich taste of Royal Dutch Shell gasoline, but you’re concerned that their mineral rights contracts with developing countries might be exploitative. Now, if they release a rainbow colored logo for Pride month, you might feel less shame when drinking their gasoline, because they did a good deed.
However, the truth is none of it matters because you’re gonna keep on guzzling all the Royal Dutch Shell gas you can get your hands on because it just. tastes. so. good.
Thanks for explaining.
