I doubt you'll find any proof that he is against free speech. More like, he cares about other things more than he cares about free speech. Such as his bank account.

Can we all just collectively agree that Ridley Scott should stick to directing and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a movie script because he is an idiot?

So did Vickers. She was unable to live with it.

I found that the most impractical thing with these was that the user interface for selecting songs was typically "you have 200 songs and I'm gonna play them in sequence, if you want a particular song you must skip ahead until you hear it". It worked for a 12-track audio CD, but felt like an underdeveloped toy feature when used with MP3:s.

Kagi (the search engine) recently launched pretty cool T-shirts in their merch store, and to their first 20k paid subscribers they gave one away for free. What struck me is that the measurements were so off: I'm usually somewhere between a medium and a large, but according to the size guide I needed a size small. So I warily selected small and sure enough, when I received it I found that the height and waist are the right dimensions for me. However, it is way too small around the shoulders.

Kagi is an American company and I'm Swedish. I'm kind of fed up with people bashing Americans for their weight and that's not what I'm trying to do, but I found it interesting how the difference between countries has become ingrained into the very shape of the clothes. There apparently exists no size of an American T-shirt that will fit me because not only are Americans bigger on average, they have completely different body proportions.

It's just something a person who wants to see everyone as a unique individual instead of putting them in a box says. Doesn't matter if it's about skin color, gender, age, etc. Make it okay to be somewhere vague on a multidimensional spectrum instead of having to make everything black or white. In the end none of these factors even matter when we're discussing which Bionicle is best.

No, I'm not "assuming I'm cis". I'm trying not to assume, period. I don't need a label to know who I'm attracted to and it's none of your business either.

Which IMO is a good thing. I don't mind people having their own identity, but if nobody tracks pronouns (including traditional pronouns) then life becomes easier for everyone and there's less drama. We need fewer pronouns, not more.

When he says "idiot" I could swear I'm listening to Napoleon Dynamite reading the bible.

I'm a faithful follower of never using your real name in social parts of the internet. We don't need to know and we don't want to know.

Corollary: there are no girls on the Internet. The simplest way to promote gender equality is to not disclose gender in arbitrary conversation or in the profile. If you still do in an anonymous forum, you are likely trying to take advantage of privileges that the patriarchal societal structure offers you in that situation, and in doing so you are upholding it.
