I know. You mean appointing Slater was a good move, and I don't disagree, my point is that Yen complimented way more than that decision and that is what was wrong...

He was not correct, Republicans don't stand for small businesses at all, maybe the specific move was good, but all the other groveling was completely unnecessary.

Honestly? If you get sentenced after having killed someone with a car, you should lose your license permanently.

That... Fuck, that kinda "explains" it... It also makes it even worse, the fact that "they will retaliate against us less" is part of the rationale, when the guards have all the power, is even more disgusting.

I had no idea and it's horrifying; paraphrasing: we allow them to rape the trans woman to reduce their violence against other inmates... Because the raped trans woman is not considered an inmate? Because raping is not violent? Or because a man with a black eye is worse than a woman with a black eye??

Fair. I don't agree, but I see were you are coming from and you are not really wrong, so 🤝

I am not saying it is not a good map, I just don't think it is the right representation. Think about it, what picture do you think shows you better? One from the top? Or one from the front? Both show you, both miss information, but still one gives you way more to work with than the other. Looking at things from "above" is not natural for humans.

Because it is very hard to visualize correctly, when I look at it I need time to even understand what I am looking at. You can blame it on the fact that we used Mercator for centuries, but this does not feel natural. The one selected keeps proportions while feeling natural to almost everyone alive today. Maybe I am wrong about learning, maybe if everyone learns with this it would make sense, but this is the type of thing in which you have to compromise, no one alive (of course there are exceptions, but you know what I mean) prefers to look at yours instead of a map focused on the Ecuador/Atlantic.

Remember, the idea is to use this maps for teaching, the Peirce one would simply prevent people from actually learning about the world. I don't say it cannot be useful in some contexts, but for human readability is shit.

While you are not wrong, there is also lots of people that think and claim out loud "if you are still working for this government, then you are complicit, you cannot claim ignorance", and they are not wrong either... And is not like you can say out loud "I am staying to make sure I hinder this administration as much as I can", as soon as you say that, you are out.

Also, there is a limit of how much you can put in your conscience, imagine having to sign orders that you believe will needlessly kill people, clearly at some point they have to go through things that they cannot justify anymore...

Amazing! you can use the existing cure for fascism to also cure transphobia! ✌️

The worst part is not even the mistake or the seizure of his personal stuff due to it, is the fact that he ended up declared guilty with no proof whatsoever, like, how??
