There is logic behind not prohibiting people from fleeing from a legitimate threat.

But if his comments don’t also include the statement that people protests blocking traffic don’t constitute a threat, it’s just implicit permission to harm protesters.

“Walkable” to a gas station is a strong indication of satire.

That is pretty cool. But I have to think since the US is the country in which this is pertinent an iOS app would be most effective.

I legitimately have an idea for an app that solves this problem. Its key feature, besides being open source, would be that people without uteruses could use it too, making any data conceivably collected useless.

I don’t have the skills to make it myself (yet), but if any developer wants to talk I’ll give the idea away. I just want it to be made.

App would be open source, all data local. Perhaps the option to sync to encrypted iCloud or Android equivalent, but certainly not a cloud-based option you need a new login for. All the features currently in these kinds of apps and that make them useful for menstruating people. Now replace “period” with “hair cut”. Non-menstruating people can now use it, earnestly, for tracking when their last hair cut was, making it useful and the data (if it were to be collected somehow) just noise.

I even have a name in mind: “hair**.**cuts” (heavy emphasis on the period in the name.) Idea is that anyone with it on their device has plausible deniability that they are using it for period tracking, but the “period” in the name is an implicit wink so we all know what it’s really being used for.

I’ve thought about starting a charity doing exactly that.

If 2025 was a photo.

I’m not saying they conflict, I’m saying they are separate things, both laudable.

How to treat content with racist undertones (or overtones) is certainly worthy of debate; I tend to agree that not hiding them, but rather to used them to educate, as they’ve done heretofore, is probably the best. But even if the decision is to hide them, I don’t think it falls under the DEI bucket, at least not directly.

Totally. Not calling out the title of the post.

I’m questioning Disney’s “reasoning.” As far as I can tell, racial sensitivity ≠ DEI.

Btw: thank you (earnestly) for this post. I’ve perused The Life and Times… before, but now I’m on a mission to find as much Barks and Rosa stuff as I can. Watched a lot if related YouTube videos on them this afternoon.

WTF does this have to do with DEI?

Because “Killing in the Name Of” is still relevant.

Inherence from the lord.

Funny, I seem to recall similar things said in justification of the genocide of her grandparents generation.

I don’t think Spotify adds enough value to anyone’s life that would justify choosing Sweden as the choice.

Does that make Trump literally Chris Traeger?

2023-08-23 is the way.

Honestly, I’d trust a vanilla iPhone over that hacked together mess you’ve got going there.

Dude is still simping for Musk. No sympathy.

I’m in the minority here, but I don’t think any governments should be regulating the choice of cable in smartphones. I think it’s a convenience that they can dangle in front of people so they can say they are pro-consumer, while ignoring the working conditions of those who manufacture it, the taxes paid by corporations who make the phones, the lobbying done against right-to-repair laws, and the monopolistic tendencies displayed by these companies.

The governments have a real responsibility to hold these companies responsible for a lot of things, but I don’t think the choice of one small piece of the technology pie should be one of them.
