100% about Trump, no mention of other politicians and appointees who have profited greatly during their time in office. So, it’s not about the ethics of those who serve us in office, it’s just something negative about Trump. 

I went out to a trendy new restaurant with my 8 year old son last week.

Why would anyone try to change someone’s mind over a purely subjective opinion?

There is a Popeye’s not far from my house in El Cerrito, and all weekend there was Popeyes traffic, like cars waiting in the road to turn into the drive through, and lines out the door. At first we were like what the fuck is going on, why is traffic stopped? Then we realized it was Popeyes. I felt bad for the people…

Counterpoint:

I don’t want “The Correct, Best Coffee” - and I’m sure I wouldn’t find that at Starbucks.

I wonder if the list was to help parents recognize apps that they might not necessarily recognize. So in your example, a parent might  know what Tinder is, but not know that Bumble (and Grindr and Skout and Badoo) are very similar apps. 

As far as the majority of people are concerned, “diet” means only restricting food intake for the purpose of decreasing body size. All the other definitions listed in the dictionary are null and pointing them out is useless. Source: I’ve tried. On multiple occasions. And gave up because it never works.* So, using that…

Replacing a battery isn’t that dangerous and lots of places can do it the right way with no problem. There is nothing special about the abilities of an Apple store technician.

I replace the battery in my car which has a lot more power than the one in your phone and never had a fire. I have also replaced the battery in my phone several times over the years and never had a fire. If I have the proper tools to replace my battery then I have a right to do so. It should not be anyone else’s…

Before you print out stuff, check and see if you can get a used copy of the (probably) textbook they are reading. I often got used copies of textbooks (in better shape than the school’s copies) for my kids in primary and secondary grades. Doesn’t help when the edition used in e-book only of course.

This is a truly asinine question.

Dude, I understand your rationalization. It’s the same one people have attempted to employ all day. Not only do I understand that the information is public, I agree that it should be public. What I am reacting to is a public figure using their power and status as a public figure to direct the ire of the masses at a…

You should probably stop wasting keystrokes here. Your position is more principled than the mob with their idiotic, “Durrr it’s public I don’t understand what’s wrong!!!” bullshit.

I’m not making a slippery slope argument. I’m making a simple argument that says if you flipped scenario on its head and just changed the allegiances of the players but maintained the basic thread, you would not be cool with it. And while it’s absolutely fair to say that the GOP is more likely to traffic in violent…

This whole thing is just an illustration on the death of empathy. What I don’t like is people in power singling out people who have very limited power and directing the ire of the masses at them for having unpopular opinions.

So exercising some imagination here, would you say that you cannot think of a plausible scenario where a politician or public figure in a state like Alabama or Mississippi or some other backwater could circulate a list of Democratic political donors from a very red county or town and you thought it was either…

You are encouraging harassment. You people have lost your minds.

The problem in the case of what Castro did is that when you compile and distribute a list of names and then share it indiscriminately with millions of people and functionally say “Do with this information what you will...” you bear an ethical responsibility (not to be mistaken for a legal culpability) for what people…

They aren’t ashamed of who they support in the least. What they don’t want is lots of protesters showing up at the door of their residence at 11pm, or calling their workplace with death threats, because they exercised their right to contribute money to an electoral candidate, in exactly the same way as you wouldn’t…

I am not being sarcastic, I am just giving an example of why I think it is irresponsible for people with a public platform, especially public servants, to be tweeting out lists of individual private citizens that donated to people that they are politically at odds with.
