  • try another round of edits

    The edits are because I mistype stuff or realise that it doesn’t say what I intended when I read through it, or I left something out. Today suggests to me that you might benefit from trying that occasionally. It clearly doesn’t suggest it to you, I see.

    The day I start to care how many internet points I’m getting

    Dude, the points are evidence that your comment came across badly, no more. Something you could learn from, but it’s increasingly clear you would do or say anything rather than back down. I’m guessing you see apology as weak and admitting your mistakes as defeat or some other fucked up macho fake alpha fragile masculinity bullshit like that.

    before I do work up some “hatred” to turn on someone

    Oh no! I’m so scared!

    Wait, you still think you were being nice or polite or something already? Wow.

    you kinda suck

    Whereas you’re all sweetness and light. Gotcha.

    Need to quit engaging with you

    Feel free. I shan’t miss you a great deal.

    You could go back to interacting with those friends you were telling me about. Presumably ones that don’t mind you saying you’ll sabotage their income stream because they didn’t live up to your principles.


  • Well I’m petty sure you were coming across as obnoxious and the vote count seems to agree.

    If most people are interpreting the things you said earlier in the thread negatively, maybe the cause is in the writer than the reader.

    Maybe have another look and see if you mightn’t have written a bit of a sourpost originally, and reconsider your tone next time if you genuinely mean no harm.

    Some of us need to earn a living from coding, and I don’t like the idea that you would rather destroy the earning potential of a one-person team than compromise your politics at all even a little bit.

    Turn your hatred on the exploitative multinational corporations, not the little guy trying to earn a living from his code.

    There’s principles, and there’s actual people, and the people are far, far more important. Don’t be so quick to condemn the little guy for wanting a bit of cash while Besos and the like screw us both over on the daily with billions in their pockets.

    People aren’t corporations, and confusing those is partly how America got so extreme in its capitalism.


  • Sounded to me like you were firing off at someone for having a private personal project by claiming that you would personally intervene to prevent them making any money from their code, then later you told them that they were being self aggrandizing. That’s how it comes across.

    You doubled down on your threat with detail, which doesn’t give readers the context to be able to deduce that you meant to be in the slightest bit self aware or apologetic, so without re-quoting yourself, it came across as hypocritical.

    Maybe “sorry, that was somewhat facetious and self-aggrandizing of me” and then not doubling down might have come across better. That’s what I think, anyway.








  • You refuse to acknowledge that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit.

    No, I refuse to acknowledge your cause-effect. You say that people is racist because Trump won

    Absolutely not. I claim that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit, not that he causes racism. This was the worst straw man argument ever.

    assume you are right and DEI is the right thing, so why only in cushy c-level jobs ?

    More stuff I never said, more assuming that I run the American Democratic Party (despite never having set foot in the USA).

    but not agree on how it is executed and I don’t think to be a racist for this

    Lol you got triggered and ranted all day because someone disagreed with Trump’s interpretation of discrimination. You agree with trump but you don’t want to say so because you don’t like admitting that you have a lot in common with the stupid racist in chief.


  • Trump was elected because a very significant minority of Americans are racist, and the Republican party have been eroding democracy for decades.

    You refuse to acknowledge that trump is the instigator of a whole bunch of racist shit.

    People like you voted for him then blamed people like me for their reactionary shit.

    The problem is that people like me are the ones that see what happen, do not say anything but in the end vote based on what they see and what candidates say.

    No, the problem is that people like you criticise diversity, equality and inclusion and like to pretend that it’s discriminatory when it’s working against racial inequality and racial discrimination.

    …do not say anything…

    Lol. You wrote paragraphs on why you think DEI is bad and then you blamed DEI policies for the election of trump! You’re part of the mindless “blame Democrats for everything whether they oppose it or not” crowd and you are incapable of shutting up about how you think DEI and Democrats are wrong.

    but in the end vote based on what they see and what candidates say

    Anyone who takes trump or his international chums at their word is an idiot.

    If you wanted to win, you should have

    “you”?!

    For someone who claims to be European, you’re pretty bad at realising that there are people who don’t live in America (including me, in case that persisted in escaping your attention), and you’re pretty bad at realising that it’s possible to be against racism whilst not being part of the leadership of the Democratic Party of the United States of America.

    Not everyone who is anti-racist is in the DNC, and not everyone in the DNC is anti-racist.

    I would have thought that was obvious, but then there is a correlation between racism and lower educational attainment.


  • Supporting the racist in chief for equality’s sake is insane.

    I don’t care about Trump, it is not my problem, in EU Trump policies are irrelevant.

    And yet here you are, arguing in support of his policies.

    But Trump is a consequence, not a cause.

    You have that really fucked up for two reasons.

    1. Trump is instigating all kinds of racist shit policies
    2. Racism is NOT caused by inclusive words or actions, it’s a reaction against them by people who were racist from the start.

    You people voted for him.

    No one like me voted for Trump. People like you voted for him then blamed people like me for their reactionary shit.
