  • As much as I don’t want to agree, I partially do agree with your first statement and hope (regardless of how little faith I have in the justice system) that they are intentionally doing this so they can let the can of worms open if he loses and then take every single person they can down with him when they try to derail the results and attempt a 2nd coup.

    It would be the icing on the cake, like you lost and you made a second attempt at it, there’s no fucking back tracking and now we have even more people that came out of the woods to help you and we are going to take you all down.

    They could put him in jail now, but corruption is rampant, but maybe (sliver of hope) there is some quiet digging of graves for these people to fall into.







  • On a bus from El Paso to Phoenix someone smoked a joint in the bus bathroom and got dumped on the side of the highway immediately after.

    Two hours later on that same bus trip the bus got raided by immigration and I got into an argument with the officer that wouldn’t accept my ACTIVE, UNEXPIRED Military ID as a valid form of ID and started yelling at me for my passport (I have a Spanish last name). I threw my passport at him and told him to fuck off before I got my command group involved with his. I don’t know how that worked but he got real quiet and left me alone immediately after that lol. There were several people that were pulled off of that bus that night. It was overall pretty shitty.


  • Edit: just realized you said US based. Tuta is not US based so that might not work for you. Sorry about that.

    Tutanota (now just Tuta) allows you to use your domain. I use it, it doesn’t support external clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) but they do have Android, Linux, Windows (maybe Mac too) clients.

    It’s also cheap.

    I’ve been using it for a few years now, it works for me.

    You can get a free account to check it out first and if you like it just upgrade to get the personal domain usage and increased storage limit.


  • I’m from the States and have spent a more than a decade living in other countries, and have had plenty of time to see how people around the world interact with their (and other people’s) children. I have to agree with you that this really doesn’t seem like a big deal.

    It looks really bad from a western perspective, especially for people that have no understanding of other cultures.

    Do I agree with it, no. That’s just my personal preference though. He didn’t backhand, punch, or otherwise harm the child, and the child didn’t even seem phased by it.

    Had he done this in a country other than Turkey it may be newsworthy, this just seems like rage bait.









  • Exactly this.

    Just because you wrote your documentation a certain way, doesn’t automatically mean that you feel a certain way about any particular group, or that your users are primarily a certain gender. It may just be writing what pronoun you are most familiar with.

    In this particular case, we can see that the author didn’t exactly make the best case for himself.

    However, there was never a problem to begin with until the person that requested the change also accused the the author of assuming that the user/dev of the OS is male.

    If that little bit of accusation would have been left out, and they just put a note like “grammatical correction” it may have just been accepted and moved on. Instead they asked for a change while accusing the author of feeling a certain way.


  • There literally wasn’t a problem.

    Until the person that asked for the correction literally assumed that said dev was assuming. Since thats what they said in their comment.

    So I can understand being a little pissy at someone pointing to you and accusing you of assuming something. It’s stupid.

    I may have been a little irritated too if someone accused me of assuming something. I wouldn’t have reacted the same, but I would have been clear that I in no way assume anything related to gender identity.

    If the person wouldn’t have put that assumption into their comment, the change may have been more likely to happen.

    Instead they assumed something and got push back which turned into the scene we see now.

    Ass u me… I mean it’s pretty clear.
