I just spent the three last days reading that as much as I could. I was enthralled. I just finished it and… what the actual fuck? How was that possible? And why none of the staff was jailed, even after the revelations?

I begun with GNOME and always come back to it when I try something else. But that’s what’s wonderful with Linux: there’s choice!

The best thing is, as she’s ignoring the pragmatics, she does give an example like she’s asked to; thus she ignores and doesn’t ignore the pragmatics at the same time.

Because if you did, you’d learn that Muslims are normal people. Some are assholes, some are not. Some are straight and homophobic, others are proudly queer. You could argue that Islam is bad because it encourages homophobia, that’s an acceptable opinion. But saying that all Muslims are homophobic is bigoted and just plain wrong. The difference between legitimate criticism and hate is not hard to understand… unless one wants to blur the line, probably to hide one’s hatred.

A lot of Islamophobs are atheists too, you know.

You haven’t met a lot of Muslims, have you?

Criticizing an ideology or a religion, Islam like the others, is always okay. But considering every Muslim as a violent, hating, misogynistic, homophobic, racist and sexist person is bigotry.

Pretty sure this guy is an Islamophobe who pretends to be a Muslim

Their Llamas first.

You can make a typecast 😉

It’s clearly down; even downer if we calculate in dollars and not tonnes, as the prices fell.

That’s the internet I love: educational.

There’s a whole theological reflection by the German pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who participated in a tentative to kill Hitler. In a nutshell, he said that killing was always bad, but in some fringe cases, someone has to get their hands dirty.

He was killed by the Nazis after the failure of the killing attempt.

For a while, maybe, but two whole days?

You’re disgusting. One shouldn’t just throw away perfectly good shit like that!

I tend not to poo in my shower, though.

There are wrinkles in my soul.

Good try :-)

From the article :

For one thing, it’s not even clear that the claim that Chinese women have small fingers is even true. Research on global hand size is lacking, but one study found that the average Chinese person has a hand size approximately equal to that of the average German. An analysis of hand size around the world, though it didn’t include China, found that even the largest average differences in women’s hand size between countries was negligible.

This is not the dubious claim.

It is dubious.
