Pointing at Stephen Miller and exclaiming "Conflict of interest!" is like arriving late to a party and then farting quietly in a corner.

Seems like you've cracked the code.

The first commandment IS monotheism.

If you interpret monotheism as incompatible with materialism and as prescriptive of equality, most Jews, Christians and Muslims lose it at the first commandment.

Edit: Self included, naturally.

In a sense, this is also the point. They are different devices targeting different markets.

Not going to lie, there are some holes in the metaphor.

The blindfolds that we see being used all the time on Palestinians are banned and considered torture under English law. No one mentions that.

It was a beautiful comment. Some people struggle with irony. Btw, I don't think anyone is concious of their unconcious biases. If you give a shit, in the broad sense, you just have to keep trying.

You're interviewing two candidates and you just seem to prefer Dan over Eric, who has dreads. You're not really sure why you prefer Dan, but you're sure it's nothing to do with racism. You feel confident because you have a daughter-in-law you love like your own, who happens to be black. Are you racist if you hire Dan?

Trump is actually Hari Seldon and we're simply unable to comprehend his genius grasp of psychohistory.

Well, yes, there is that.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying governments could force MS, Google, Apple to implement content filtering tools at the OS level, that give users the choice to set up filtering however they want for themselves or their kids.
