   Privileged white guys in tech don’t like me much. Y’know what? I can live with that.

     @Professor_Stevens Yep, it’s always good to have douchebags mark their favourite spots on the map so you know where to avoid.

     Think of them as your most reliable advisors.

     When I served in local government, we had public input sessions twice each month. Whenever a contentious issue was pending, the Republicans would always turn out in fairly large numbers to express their opinion. Quite honestly, I admired them for it. The Democrats never came, but Republicans are more motivated.

     Anyway, the Republicans were always wrong. So, whatever they asked for, I just voted the other way.

     Worked every time.

     @SimonP What an odd statement. I mean, thank you for your kind words about Kitten but the only thing you don’t like “is people speaking about a group of people by sex and skin color”? That’s it? Not systemic inequality, not injustice, not war, not slavery, not famine, not climate change, not genocide…? That’s the only thing? (1/2)

     And I just committed the worst sin possible in your eyes by criticising privileged white men who, a cursory glance at both current affairs and history will reveal, can be held responsible for a very long list of things that’s wrong with the world. (2/2)
