  I don’t think it’s just the fact that she’s a black/Asian woman.

  I saw this on BBC News which is probably correct:

  [Trump has] completely “reimagined” the Republican party from its country club voter stereotype to appealing to working class families, while the Democrats had become the “party of Hollywood”.

  I think I heard on the radio the other day someone saying that reparations should be less about handing cash to descendants of slaves, and more about investing in descendants of slaves, which I guess would mean ensuring that those descendants have an equal access to education and job opportunities, and maybe other adjustments. Whether that’s a good idea, I guess society would have to decide, but I thought it was interesting.

  In the future it might not be though. Developing countries are getting richer and they have growing populations. Britain’s population isn’t growing that much. Even public opinion within Britain may one day favour reparations, let alone outside of Britain.

  There’s a solution to this problem. Stop using Windows and instead use Linux, or even MacOS.

  I guess it’s personal to different people. Some people don’t care about sex and that’s fine. Some people want sex, and as long as they do it in an ethical way (e.g. not sexually abusing anybody), that’s fine too.

  If sex does matter to someone then they might not want to lose that part of themselves. Just like, if you have a certain hobby, you might think “I hope I maintain my interest in this hobby, because it’s a key part of who I am”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is about to go robe shopping⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sex is important to most organisms. I don’t think people want sex just because it’s a norm in society. I think they want it due to an instinctive desire. Just like people want to eat food and breathe air.
