Oh baby clutch those pearls tight with your wringed hand. So sick of this “it’s not us, it’s them” ignorant, blind, stupid fear mongering. STFU and do something about it. Talk to people on the other team for starters.

after the police detain you with the courtesies afforded to all alleged pedophiles,
after you cough up your phone’s password,
you only need to produce the picture of a pineapple to defend yourself against any accusations,
and then point out to the folks with the guns that no, you didn’t delete the child porn from your phone, look, it’s just a pineapple,

PG is rich. Thanks for Hackers and Painters, written long ago, when he was thoughtful and championed the artistry required to write code well. Then Startup School, because he was a good dude, who truly wanted to help others. But since then, it’s all been about money. Such a pity to see folks with promise get their heads turned by, and then devote their lives to making, money. Wealth changes what people believe, and how they feel. Ask a rich man what’s wrong with the world, and you’re sure to hear about how, if only the poor folk would get their shit together, everybody could be as happy as him.
