You vote for the person, you should get the person.

Morally bad? Ehh, I try not to be.
Generally low-quality human? Fuck yes.
Hm, it’s been a while since I’ve been active in this space, I’m quoting from memory. I’ll look up some stuff.
There are five grades of FGM; MGM is equivalent to hoodectomy, which is grade III.
The worst FGM is much, much worse that MGM, but the least-worst FGM is much less-worse than MGM.
Could this count as a hate crime?
Look, murder all the children you want, but don’t you ever claim we didn’t help you do it!
It’s not hubris, it’s neediness. Some people have a desperate need to be speshul, not just matter, not just a process, but something magical and ineffable and inherently intractable. They want their non-overlapping magisteria back, and they use ‘quantum’ as a little reservation it can hide on.
People are so damn shallow about looks, it’s ridiculous.
The fact is that an AIO has a shorter lifespan, is way more expensive per-watt, and… Oh, right.
Sex work is work, and the people doing it deserve respect. Fuck the ‘there will be consequences’ mindset, since that mostly comes from the people imposing the ‘consequences’ in the first place.
I wouldn’t be willing/able to suspend disbelief about an actual personal connection either, but it’s a valid human emotional need, and if it works for people, good for them.
He fixed some other fairly-problematic titles, too. Check them out on that same site :)

Laptops are uniformly awful.
You can’t upgrade or replace the GPU or CPU, the hinge assembly is mechanically vulnerable, a cup of coffee over the keyboard is game over, the screen dies you’ve got a ridiculous cost to fix, the cooling sucks, the ergonomics suck, and you pay about double the price for half the specs.
You need a proper screen and keyboard at your desk anyway, so unless you’re hotdesking with the thing, it’s just going to act like a shitty desktop most of the time.
What do you think an algorithm is?
He says, on social media
Bolt one end of some sheet metal to your bumper, leaving the other end to scrape along the ground. Should generate the required NYAAAUUUGGHHH sound wherever you go.
… how many of the people who didn’t survive a cardiac arrest had consumed an energy drink?
How complex does a neural net have to be before you can call any of its outputs ‘pain’?
Start with a lightswitch with ‘pain’ written on a post-it note stuck to the on position, end with a toddler. Where’s the line?
With the best will in the world, I think you’re still conflating the symptom with the disease.
Gender-policing is abusive, and abused people often behave in problematic and indeed shitty ways. While of course there are no excuses for shitty behaviour, it’s also incredibly shit to turn around and frame that behaviour in terms of the criteria by which they were picked out for abuse in the first place.
For intance (to get into properly uncomfortable territory), it’s fair to say that systemic racism drives poverty and disadvantage, which in turn can drive all kinds of antisocial behaviour and societal problems. But imagine for one second some sociologist coming up with the concept of ‘toxic Africanity’ (or equivalent) to describe it. They would get fucking dragged, and rightly so.
It’s not about being ‘probably one of the good ones’. It’s about looking at a bunch horrible maladaptive coping strategies, and asking what the hell it is we’re expecting people to cope with, and why we put up with that.
So why do they campaign individually? Why do they talk about their values or priorities at all? Why does it matter that they live in their electorate? If you’re just getting Hivemind Unit #173, why maintain the fiction of local representatives?
