Warning, this is a script bomb that will make your system crash, and is adding it to the bashrc, which means it will run again after you reboot your computer.

People use to say that you cant lie with statistics, but is a common practice to use statistics to lie.

We can take the infamous 41% suicide rate for trans people. Transphobes throw that out like a killing move implying that trans people are inherently unhappy and being trans is a mental illness (which is not true).

The reality is that the suicide rate is so high because of transphobia, kids getting thrown out of home, homelessness, unable to find a job, staying at the closet to avoid social consecuences, etc.

Trans people who live in more open and accepting environments are way less likely to be depressed and commit suicide. In progresive areas where trans people are more accepted the suicide rate is nowhere near 41%.

For me it was, actually. Maybe because I was late to the party so people stopped developing shit for 32 bits, and when I did the transition was like “Finally, I can install shit” also my computer was newer and the OS worked better.

  • A YouTube channel named “Gamers Nexus” made a video criticisms about LTT hardware Review process.
  • Due to having the pressure to make videos as quickly as possible, the quality control of hardware reviews has suffered, even with the Lab they assembled for testing hardware and presenting detailed benchmarks.
  • A startup sent Linux a watercooling prototype to review, but they tried it on a video card it was not designed for, giving bad results.
  • Then the “sold” the prototype apparently without the full approval of the creators.
  • Linus was dismissive at first, but now the company has responded and said will take quality control more seriously.
  • Now an ex employee named Madison came out telling basically that there is a Guy Bros type culture on LTT, where they made inappropriate comments to her, affecting her mental health, overloading her with work because she had the “funny job” of social media managment, and even verbally abused her. Some instances can be considered sexual harassment.
  • The new CEO of LTT said he was “shocked” by these revelations and will hire an external investigator.

I can believe the new CEO is surprised since he just stepped in (including the previous months of negotiations) but obviously there are things that Linus hasn’t told him. And since most of the important people at the company are Linus year long friends, they had covered each other up.

And yeah, self harming to take a sick leave is fucked up, pretty sure denying sick leave to an employee in Canada is ilegal since there they actually give a shit about labour laws.

Also, lets remember that when activison Blizzard got shit about the gigantic amounts of sexual harassment allegations, they pulled a “we investigates ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” and is still avoiding being investigates by independents.

Immediatly jumping to hire an external investigator is a good move from the CEO, given how low the bar is.
