I skimmed through a few articles out of curiosity, and some suggest that polarizing statements (e.g. claims of male discrimination) from far-right leaders resonate with young men. Is this testosterone, lack of maturity, etc. or just human behavior? If the shoe was reversed, would the percentage of conservative women increase?

I think it’s safe to assume at least one environmental stimulus. I’m just curious about the diverging trend between the sexes. Why did they respond disproportionately?

I’m not the smartest guy in the room, but what makes you say that?

No of course not. I don’t have a particular idea in mind. I’ve heard many people state that the prefrontal cortex develops sooner in women, and this specifically affects how much of the brain is engaged in decision making.

I was certainly prone to seeing everything in black and white in my early 20s. This may have affected my younger brain’s susceptibility to extremist views.

Ok so you don’t believe you’re spreading misinformation. You are, however, spreading information that seeks to undermine US government institutions.

We can debate all day, and both of us will be at least partially incorrect. Many of our problems can also be attributed to religious institutions. There is one hill I’ll die on though: Trump is an evil bastard.

You’re entitled to that opinion. That’s why I assumed you to be in the latter group.

I’m certainly wrong about plenty of things, but I have seen too much violence and hatred grow out of Trump’s first presidency. I do not share your desires for the US.

No. I believe you sincerely disagree with core tenets of US government and wish the government to be dismantled.

I believe you’re in the group wishing for a disastrous outcome.

I just wish we had STAR voting so additional candidates wouldn’t increase the risk of Trump winning the election. So many people are either blind to the present danger or they spread misinformation because they hate the US.

Is this related to differences in prefrontal cortex maturity rates in young adults?

I don’t miss XML, but at least it has support for comments. On the other hand, I wish whitespace in XML wasn’t significant. JSON needs to die in favor of JSON 5.

It seems like we’re doing the human thing and interpreting things differently.

I read all of these comments in context on Discourse and came to my previous conclusions. The ban still seems out of place to me.

Tim mentioned several times that his concern was the community, and his comments all appear to foster inclusion. He seems to find a little more good in people than the steering committee allows.

Having read the comment in context, I think Gregory was reaching. Tim generally communicates in a disarming manner and simply observed that he doesn’t like how “sexual harassment training” sounds and prefers not to use that phrase.

It’s also not clear if posts have been deleted or altered, so I might be missing something.

This piqued my curiosity after witnessing recent issues in the Nixpkgs community, so I poked around Discourse for a few minutes.

Wow… Tim seems like one of the nicest folks on the face of the planet. I don’t get it.

Did I miss something? It seems like they’re shooting themselves in the foot here.

Were the mods upset about this community discussion after Karl was banned?

After reading the article, this looks like misinformation.

I got a little lazy with the copy/paste. The first item of the series isn’t in the quote.

15-year-old brother and sister’s children

This sentence is a great argument for the Oxford comma.
