I probably shouldn't upvote people just because they say the first thought that crossed my mind.

Shouldn't athletes expecting to medal just want to skip the competition and go straight to the podium? I mean, that's the reward, right? It is pretty easy to come up with many other analogs where there is a reward/goal that would feel hollow without whatever experience precedes it.

I misread it as heat pump, was sure I was wrong, read it again and got it wrong again. So... I guess I'm glad you wrote this comment to get me to read it a third time.

The branding is very consistent and the about page mentions US Congress funding. You can stop now.

In the absence of any actual evidence, it does make it less true. Believing otherwise means ignoring all the obvious (but admittedly circumstantial) evidence that racism is super-fucking-popular. So Occam's Razor says if two theories have equal levels of zero evidence and one is inherently appealing to lizard brain, that one will gain prevalence so if you want to correct for that bias you have to bias in the opposite direction. How hard? Roll dice.

I like that name a ton and also "Paranoid Android" is a Radiohead song from the album OK Computer. Now I'm realizing there is no comma in that title. I always thought it was "OK, Computer" because the speaker is addressing the computer. Nope, it is "OK Computer" like a label at an antique shop letting you know the computer is not Poor or Excellent but just OK.

As a legal matter, maybe not. As a practical matter I'm pretty sure it is evident.

Let us know if you come up with a citation. Absent that I've read a bunch of articles regarding this topic and it seems highly implausible so I'm going to assume you're remembering wrong.

This sounds like obvious sealioning but I've got a minute so I'll take the bait. If everyone applies that mentality it will almost always lead to the tyranny of the majority. What will cause a group that has even a slim majority to understand and take into account the needs of the minority. How will the majority even know there is a problem if the minority doesn't (as you say) "complain to everyone else". Just like the poster depicted says "so what" about it being gay being a choice, I don't care whether people define that stance as "homophobia". I do care that they understand why they shouldn't do it.

If you are currently on a bike, point to yours, point to theirs, then thumbs up and smile. If you aren't on a bike, reconsider your life choices.
