I use Firefox because I have worked at both Google and MSFT and want as little to do as possible with their products.

Twice the song writer Paul was? Slow your roll a little there chief.

I guess he didn't disclose it in a security review, so he failed to execute the "fly your freak flag high" part.

If he doesn't give a flying fuck about it, there isn't any option for blackmail.

TERFs love the patriarchy, they aren't feminist at all.

He's a typical sexist alt-right babytoughboyfluffer.

"Evangelical", when I was a kid, meant "racist who is mega devoted to the Bible and goes to church twice a week, and maybe doesn't apply enough critical thinking to what the preacher says." They'd know Bible quotes, ask themselves what Jesus would do, and although I completely disagreed with them and fled the state I lived in ASAP, they were coming from a sincere place.

Evangelical", today, is purely a statement of political alignment with MAGA. Most don't even go to church. They're literally willing to worship a golden idol.

Religion is a tool for exploitative social control.

There's a super reform synagogue in my town, their president is an out lesbian, they turned out for blm marches, host families traveling to get medical care for their sick kids, etc.

And they're generally super pro-Netanyahu, pro-NeoNaqba.

It's baffling to me that you can understand that there is rampant racist police violence in the US, and not in Gaza or Jenin.

I'm wondering whether this is a privileged/feels like deserves privilege white guy thing.

Down here with the queerdos and minorities, I'm seeing people engage more fully with each other, be more willing to take on friends and lovers, in the last few months.

Some are getting caught by chat bots, yes, but a lot of people are out there trying to grab human connection while we still can.

I certainly feel like the "I'm the übermensch and revel in cruelty, empathy is a weakness" mentality that the straight basic wypipo have adopted will not only discourage other people from wanting to be their friend, but also discourages themselves from seeking friendship, because they see it as a weakness.

Shapiro from Pennsylvania. Pro-genocide, loves billionaires, condescending. Ticks all the boxes.

That isn't both-sidesing.

I said that Harris was clearly better overall. I have a preference and I acted on it, which is the opposite of what both-sidesing is trying to achieve.

However, on the particular issue of genocide in Gaza, I only see differences in rhetoric, not differences in behavior.
