SV is too real. I was close to Bay Area tech when I was watching it, and that show hit too close to home sometimes.
IT crowd maintains a humorous distance from the really shitty parts of tech and I’m here for it.

What? The whole charm of the IT crowd is that it’s pretty spot on for how IT people act with each other. It’s hyperbolic for sure but I felt like it was the most authentic representation of tech people in the media.
I also thought the joke was about fragile masculinity… but I can see it being off putting anyways and I’m open to being wrong.
What did they do to little Billy?!?!?!
No, they’re not.
They’re not discussing what the appropriate penalties should be—which, by the way, is typically done at the end of a trial during the sentencing phase, after all evidence has been presented and a guilty verdict has been delivered, because punishment is supposed to be reflective of the evidence presented—they’re saying that they’ve already decided that the target penalty is death.
That’s a clear nod that they want to make an example, a concept divorced from justice.
Every accusation is projection, as is status quo.
He is currently innocent of all of those charges.
We don’t get to pick and choose when innocent before proven guilty gets applied. Openly stating that they’re seeking the death penalty before he’s even been indicted is weird and wrong.
Contempt of court when?
Still, in another message Rivers sent to the teacher, she called the educator a child predator who tells "precious innocent kids that it's ok to be in same sex relationships," according to the affidavit.
It is ok to be in same sex relationships.
What’s not ok is being a bigoted piece of shit, threatening people, and bringing a gun to school to threaten someone because you’re a bigoted piece of shit.

Subscription pricing for security updates kinda sucks.
And that’s the story of how I decided against Sailfish.
It is a very slim minority of very loud people who are actually evil, who have inveigled a regrettably large number of people who are not necessarily evil but are short slighted and easily manipulated into acting against their own self interest.
Being an American does kinda suck these days though as a result.
