Cruel

Now that they brought him back, there's going to be another wave of revenue loss. A political pincer movement lol.

I'm guessing we should divide FOSS into political camps? We can't code in open source projects with contributors that have political positions we oppose?

This seems to be the trend I'm seeing.

Their leaders align with the democratic plurality of the US?

WTF, I hate democracy now!

I blame people more than Microsoft. People were either duped or too lazy to say "Microsoft Teams" in full. It's not too crazy to have services like "Apple Music" because people aren't allowing Apple to control the word by just saying "Music" casually. People need to go back to saying "Microsoft Teams." Alas, it will never happen. 😒

Using what definition of irony?

A situation is ironic if it defies expectation. Like how Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, was killed by a stingray.

Kirk being killed by a leftist extremist, who thought he was a fascist, using a gun, is pretty much in line with how you'd expect him to die.

True. Most were against the violence, but many supported it.

Also, the country was founded using political violence.

Congratulations! You failed.

He was reckless, no doubt. Being around a dangerous mob always is.

Maybe rift on him crossing state lines.

Very true.

Rittenhouse traveled all the way to some far off city he had no interest in. Sure, his father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousin live there. Sure, he stayed with his friend who lived there. And he used to work as a lifeguard there. But otherwise, he only went there because he's racist. That's why he shot a couple white people.

My personal feelings do not inform this argument. What I say is wrong or it isn't, regardless of my feelings about people or topics. I routinely argue against pro-choice arguments, for example, not because I'm pro-life, but because so many pro-choice arguments are bad. I actually support unfettered abortion and even limited legalized infanticide similar to Peter Singer, but that's quite irrelevant to arguments I make about abortion.

I guess people in the military aren't willing to die for anything either. After all, they wear body armor and use weapons against their enemies.

You can't be so stupid as to think a willingness to die is the same as trying to die.

Me liking women and non-white people isn't even relevant. If you don't want to discuss the issues, then don't.
