your actual goddamn policy

2024-12-20 19:30:08.523093+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Yesterday at lunch I was reminded that, when a local City Council member whom I admire said something about "policies that reflect our values", I quietly observed that the cynical among us might say that they already do. And apparently the room, more than I noticed at the time, went "oh, damn." (and "that's cold", and...)

Anyway, there's a polarizing figure on the nerd social media that has a long rant this morning on culture and kindness and this pull-quote is repeated here, for emphasis.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
