  • It was the first time any modern president has admitted that the elites of the party are the millionaires (and billionaires) who fund it, which gives them extraordinary political power — perhaps enough to push Biden out of the race.

    In truth, the Democratic Party is little more than a national fundraising machine, as is the GOP.

    Ding ding ding ding ding.

    Political parties are poison to democracy… and our two-party system is nothing more or less than cancer of democracy.

    And why do any of these problems exist at all? Capitalism, and the millionaires and billionaires that such a system enables.












  • Speaking from my own experience, having seen this over and over again…

    Lack of UX due to toxic behavior towards would-be UX contributors.

    A lot of projects don’t have UX people… and that is usually because when UX people try to contribute, they get shot down with prejudice by toxic, overprotective gatekeepers who take everything personally.






  • To grossly oversimplify things, there are two kinds of vegans…

    Type 1 are “healthy living” and “sustainability” vegans. These type are generally benign, polite, helpful, positive, and keep to themselves unless asked. They also tend to not be super militant about their veganism… like the occassional egg from someone’s beloved home-raised chickens is fine.

    Type 2 are ideological vegans. These types believe that “exploiting” “living creatures” in any way is fundamentally immoral, and because it’s a morality issue (e.g. basically religion) the vast majority are very preachy, demanding, and in-your-face about it. They don’t consider type 1 to be “real vegans”.

    Type 2, being the loudest and most abrasive, giving veganism a bad name and ruining it for everyone.
