He probably didn't care because it doesn't really matter.

If you weren't there to witness him... taking pictures, would you ever have noticed he was there in the first place?

Seems like you were just looking for an excuse to be a dick. Pragmatically speaking, what you did had more impact on you than what he did.

Australians are some of the most racist people on the planet.

I've noticed, the less diverse a population is, the more racist they become while the rest of the world focuses on nations who actually have to deal with diversity. US, Sweden, etc.

Maybe it's just me, but if you're doing something technical enough to require commercial support, shouldn't you have a competent IT team that doesn't need it?

Just seems weird to pay additional money for technical support of your OS when teams using Debian don't have to. Are they just more competent on average than teams using Red Hat?

It's not unheard of for Americans to eat at least a pound of meat per day.

30,000 is a drop in the bucket.

but I find that appalling.

Probably because you're not able to comprehend feeding 300 million people.

Welcome to the 'all drugs are bad unless I do them' mentality.

The only reason it’s not illegal is because it’s ingrained in society.

What about the history we learned from when it was illegal?

You... did learn from history, right?

Love KDE. Hope they maintain their position as the 'swiss-army knife' of DEs.

You described the US in both scenarios.

What makes you think Americans will forego cheap energy if China and Russia don't?

Don't worry, those kids were undercover Hamas.

Is it unreasonable to stop the collective punishment of a million children?

Yeah, but it's pretty damning to see all the astroturfing on social media, blacklisting from companies, and crackdowns on peaceful protests by governments.

I think we're witnessing one big Streisand-effect here where people are fed up at having others choose what they can see and what they can say.

I'm very proud at how the narrative didn't snowball in Israel's favor. If anything, this caused people who blindly supported Israel to learn more about the history of the region and why there is conflict in the first place.

If you weren't anti-Zionist before, you're probably one now.

Nah. Not anymore than the average Russian is a baddie in the Ukraine war.

This is out of our control. The best we can do is show our support in various discussions and social circles.
