  • If you put yourself in the shoes of the person treating something as political

    That is my usual Modus Operandi, specially because I know what it is like to be treated as nothing more than a meat bag, stripped of it’s humanity. I just think that some cases are taken way too further from what they are actually representing.

    While that is true, I don’t think those people should also be given Carte Blanche to turn everything political.

    I get that they are extremely oppressed, and have all the right to fight against it, but I fail to see where a pirate flag is an Anti-LGBT symbol or a tranphobic icon, as I’ve seen some claim.
















  • Alright. Then imagine I am a kitchen knife manufacturer. I make a kitchen knife and sold it. Someone uses that knife to murder someone. Am I responsible for the murder? Because I just reduced the argument you’ve been making this entire time, except I removed the engineering part from it.

    I make programs. I make them according to a specification, which is defined by the client AND the management. After I make the program, it’s out of my hands how the fuck it is handled. If one of those two parties use or modify the program in ways they didn’t tell me, and which eventually result in disaster, because they didn’t fucking tell me that they wanted to use it for those actions and I couldn’t possibly predict it, should I be blamed when the program fails? Normal glass bottles weren’t made to hold lava, why should I be blamed when someone uses the bottle to hold lava and ends up melting their hands?
