If they are using offensive account names, then that’s a valid reason to not hire them. I’m just saying discriminating against an entire region is wrong. I promise you I hate most Floridians and their politics far more than you do, and I was born here.
Well that’s certainly a discriminatory hiring practice. People don’t choose where they are born and often don’t have the means to leave the terrible place they were born. And people like you not hiring them makes it even harder for them to get out.
People need to eat to live, dumbass.
The first Citizen Sleeper was an absolute gem. I still regularly listen to the OST.

Wow. That reddit comment is fucked. Definitely not what I would have expected from a company like Proton. And that’s a company statement too, not just a single executive.
Cats do not have cars in their natural habitat.
Nintendo is a shit company that hates its fans. Definitely not who I would use as a good example. And star citizen is a scam, not a game.
This doesn’t make sense. What value do your comments have to reddit if they aren’t presented to users? Harming these future users is how you harm reddit.
There’s no place in reality that I can feel safe or comfortable. Anywhere that there is any chance of a human being perceiving me or me perceiving another human being is not a place that I can feel comfortable in. The only refuge that I can find is in books and video games.
might have to do a complete write up one of these days to show how nasty and deep all the crap goes with our politics and influences.
Please do. I’d love to read it. I’m a South Floridian who uses public transit and hates the fucking Brightline.
You claimed you didn’t give your opinion of me, just your opinion of why others hate me.
I did not claim this. I thought it was quite clear that I thought your take was deplorable.
When I suggested you hated me, you said that wasn’t true.
I did not state this. My rebuke of the “you hate me” thing was that you accused me of being dishonest.
You are either misinterpreting or willfully misrepresenting my words.
Frankly, you seem more interested in arguing with this strawman of me that you have created than actually engaging with my points and your intellectual dishonesty has become tiring and boring.
I hope you can one day realize that acknowledging that your opinions are bad does not absolve you of spreading them.
I do think it is reasonable. Too bad you didn’t do that.
That is not a reasonable expectation. You are not so special that it is an offense to reference your words without clearing it with you first. Your comments will always be taken at face value.
As you said yourself, “All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you.”
I do not understand the relevance of this statement. Please elaborate.
Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can’t you accept that? Do you want me to say I’m perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don’t think I’m any of those things, sorry.
I do not understand. You have the ability to change your opinions. Why would you post bad ones, knowing they are bad? I cannot comprehend knowing that you are doing something wrong and choosing to do it anyway.
Oh the irony.
Please elaborate. I have not made any presumptions about you. My opinion of you is solely based on the information that you have posted.
You mean you are spotlighting a terrible opinion I held at the time but didn’t ask whether or not I held it until I pointed out you didn’t ask.
Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?
An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.
If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?
Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don’t, you don’t actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don’t.
Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.
It’s fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.
This is another incorrect presumption of my intention. I have been true and honest in all my statements.
WTF are you on about now?
All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you. If you no longer hold that opinion, then great, that’s growth. If you do, then I’m going to continue to refer to it as an example of your shitty takes.
I would have reasonably expected you to lead with that. You no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?
If so, then I congratulate you on the personal growth.
So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That’s just bizarre.
Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.
In case anyone is curious, most of these appear to be the tarantula Avicularia avicularia. Common name is, appropriately, the pinktoe tarantula.
