I fully agree with that statement.

Social media algorithms are designed to show you things which make you upset because that type of content is highly likely to "engage."

Yes, you're more vulnerable to disease when you are living an unhealthy lifestyle. Shocker.

But inflammation is just the body's natural respond to disease. Claiming inflammation hurts you is like saying wet streets cause rain.

tittenfick··on Red Hat statement about RMS’s return to the Free Software Foundation board
I can't believe how many people in every comment section there are who defend RMS.

He's a genius for sure, but the dude is just an awful public figure, there is a reason he's being memed to death and it's because he takes every chance to make a fool out of himself when is presenting something.

The stuff he said about pedophilia is frankly disgusting and the things about homo- and transphobia just shocking.

He is extremely intelligent, but only in this highly specific area. He is completely oblivious to everything else around him and just awful with people. Quite the important skill for somebody in a representative position.

If you think the stuff he said about pedophilia is OK, I don't know what to tell you. This is not a mob, these are normal people who are disgusted.

I quote: "We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing. Assuming she was being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to tell her to conceal that from most of his associates."
