I find it very amusing you don't even try to respond. You just condemn the heresy and scream, like all good true believers.

People still think a rainbow is political. And look at all the political stunts GOP is pulling at LGBT peoples expense. Also, we aren’t past that point.

Do keep up the histrionics and the half-assed insults as you argue here, though. Those antics will absolutely make people take you seriously.

We've all seen that, but by far and away the most chaotic people at Google are the ones who think they're "fighting hate". How often do we read about some massive drama caused by activist employees trying to get each other fired over some perceived offense? Seems incredibly common these days. It never happened when I worked there, because we were primarily libertarian laissez-faire user-focused geeks. And yet there w…

I mean when everyone is the same, you're not going to have a lot of discussions about this. You also end up having awful products :)

Yes. Google's first decade was notorious for their terrible products. That's why nobody used anything made by Google before 2016.

Ye gods. What has become of that once great organization when this is the best response you can come up with?
