The car is simply asserting ownership. Love doesn't enter into the equation

Was this the 60s?

In any case, the cultural revolution that gave us many modern tolerances and freedoms started then. Currently the conservatives are pushing back hard against most of that. The culture wars today are a backlash against the spirit of the sixties.

Yeah. Only looking back from today can it stand any criticism at all. But that's easy for us to do now

3 appearances?

Ah so the new strategy is to crop off your search query so that everyone can see it's not reproducible and likely either fake or a brief aberration. (And no I don't defend AI I just hate lying for fake Internet points)

Yeah. It was something that deserves some critique, but I think ultimately at that point in history, sadly, Rogers was right. It wouldn't have gone well, in the shortterm at least

Oh, got it. I thought you were saying the only people to like Linux are those who grew to hate windows. that describes me.

Precisely the opposite take to mine. He was gay and accepted by Fred Rogers when that was rare. And Fred later expressed remorse at telling him it would be best not to come out. The word "shamed" in your comment is not remotely fair either

The image misses part of the story. He was a character on the show, officer Clemmons, and wasn't just on this episode. And what's more, he was gay and Fred Rogers knew and accepted him for it at a time that that was uncommon. This image makes it seem like a single random act of impersonal kindness but it was much more than that.
