  • I was in South Texas a few months ago (not my idea).

    At a local H.E.B. There was a rack of Pride merchandise including t-shirts and bumper stickers that said “Y’all includes ‘all’”

    They were on clearance so my cynical brain leapt to the conclusion that nobody was buying them. Nooope. They were being destroyed and otherwise vandalized while on the shelf. This was happening so often that the manager decided that it was costing more to keep them on the shelves than the goodwill of the queer community was worth to him.

    Wake me up when a corporation does more than the absolute minimum during Pride. Otherwise it’s just more sociopathic virtue signaling from organizations that would happily sell Khmer Rouge branded glasses if they thought it would increase shareholder value.



  • First comment. Looking forward to the new(ish) community full of familiar faces.

    I have a weird request to the other Redfugees: I had considered going through and nuking my entire post history for all of my accounts. But then I realized that a lot of the advice that I’ve given on /linux and /python would be lost. I’m not a master at either, but I like to think that I’ve helped people out.

    So before deleting everything as a (justified!) middle finger to a terrible CEO, take into account that what you’ve written is a part of a tapestry of internet history. 99.99% is trite. But you never know what future generations will find interesting or useful.

    Just my $0.02.
