95% of the American racists I've met in recent years were Democrat partisans. Dems think it's cool & trendy to be racist. Now the Euro racists - I met way more racist Euros than racist Americans - that's a whole different story.
Shit, bro - I was at a bar downtown last week and I met this old geezer German tourist. Dude claimed to be a real, live, formal member of the Nazi party! I was like, holy fuck - for realz??
But dude was kinduva failure as a Nazi. He seemed to enjoy drinking and talking with my decidedly multi-ethnic group of friends. He didn't try to oppress us or anything. Shit, he bought a shot of tequila for a Jew!
So maybe he wasn't really a Nazi after all. Hang out in NYC bars long enough and you'll hear some real tall tales. Most of which are 16 tons of bullshit. YYMV.
Everyone knows Big Brother Google regularly manipulates search results for social and political purposes. When they say they didn't do it, they're lying.
So you admit you're a raging hypocrite, and have no intention whatsoever of following the speech restrictions you seek to impose by force on others. EVERYONE knows CoC s are peddled by the least-nice members of any community, and are obviously not at all about 'being nice to people'.
My question is: why do you feel the desire to persecute people for their speech? It it because you have a personal grudge against Free Software hero Linus Torvalds? Is it because your world view is built on such shakey foundations that the free speech of others might bring it all tumbling down? Or do you simply take malevolent delight in being part of a witch hunt?
Google's scatterbrained, capricious approach to dropping services is why my company won't even consider GCP. It doesn't matter if their price or features might be a little better than AWS. There's just too much uncertainty and risk.
Ever notice how the people in favor of forcing petty-authoritarian CoCs on unconsenting communities *say* it's all about "just being a nice person" - yet are themselves aggressively uncivil, bigoted, belligerent, and mean-spirited? It's almost like the CoC-mongers are raging hypocrites, and the CoC itself a transparent power grab.
How is calling a poor white person a "redneck" different than calling a poor black person a "nlgger"? Both are racial and class slurs. Both are used jokingly for in-group communication. Both are deeply offensive when used by outsiders.
If you go to a poor black neighborhood and call someone a "nlgger", you're likely going to get beat up. If you go to a poor white neighborhood and call someone a "redneck", you're likely going to get beat up.
Have you noticed how these authoritarian CoCs are always imposed without a popular vote and without the consent on the communities they are forced upon? I wonder why...
Who is the malign force behind the undemocratic imposition of this petty-authoritarian CoC on an unconsenting community? That person or organization is almost certainly also responsible for the ignominious purge of Free Software world hero Linus Torvalds.
Follow the money - Progressives are always bankrolled by big money financialists and their running dog "non profits". Only a tiny minority of the population support their totalitarian policies. Without the big money they would be nothing but fringe wingnuts ridiculed by everyone.
Follow the legal threats - Progressives always use the iron boot of the police state. There's no way they could impose their deeply unpopular puritanism without the violent coercive power of the state. Linus and perhaps other Linux leaders are probably being blackmailed with legal threats.
Let's find our villain, so we know who is working so hard to destroy the Freedom in Free Software. #ResistTotalitarianism
Hmmmm.... so turns out that using a home-rolled frankendatabase, derived from a toy RDBMS, for business critical billing data wasn't that great an idea. Once again - who knew?!
It's almost like a regime of secret laws (seller regulations) leads to confusion, arbitrary & capricious judgements, and inability to conduct legitimate business without inside connections or bribery. Who knew?!
Maybe it's time for a new standard in transparency. No more allowing big companies with serious market power - the ability to make or break smaller companies - to impose secret laws on their users. These regulations need to be public - so legitimate businesses can understand & follow them, and so the people can debate whether they are acceptable.
When a company reaches a certain level of importance and market power, they are no longer "private" in the traditional sense. They have become, de facto, part of the state. "Parastatal" as the academics say. The time is long overdue for some sunlight & democracy in the parastate.
Thanks to OBAMA, America is the greatest industrial power in the world. Our bridges and roads are in perfect condition. Our industrial base isn't in collapse - it's the envy of the world! We produce far far more than China. People around the world see "made in USA" on everything they use. Consequently, American workers are all super prosperous. No one is living paycheck to paycheck.
But TRUMP is trying to ruin it all!! 'Cuz Russia! Eeek, scary bad orange man!
It's possible to have law & order without pissing all over the Constitution and inviting apt comparisons of our legal system to that of the Soviet Union under Stalin.
Every contemptible judge who has ever accepted a "plea bargain" coerced false confession ought to be removed from office and barred for life from public service. They have stained the honor of our nation and brought the Law itself into disrepute.
No - it's all lies! Thanks to OBAMA, all American workers are multi-millionaires who live in the lap of luxury. Things have never been better, but Donald Trump is trying to ruin it all. NPR told me so. Check your privilege!

"die-hard conservatives even confessed they'd voted for HRC"
LOL. No they didn't.
Any Googledouche found supporting Trump would be fired on the spot, amiright? Diversity of opinion is dangerous and must be stamped out quickly.
Because workers have no rights?

You are the product.

Social Just-us Terrorists are NOT communists. Real commies want nothing whatsoever to do with those running dogs of the financial oligarchy.
Ass-burgers syndrome is just medicalization of social difference. Like many aspects of official psychiatry it is a tool for oppression.

Shouldn't it be SJT rather than SJW? "Social Just-us Terrorist".

He was purged, obviously. Someone told him to step down "or else".
Nonsense!

That's what happens when you use Agile(tm) web monkey methodology to run critical public infrastructure.
Anyone know what kind of DB got corrupted?
They paid peanuts... and they got monkeys! Haha!
