Fascist leaders are good at manipulating stupid people. That does not mean smart fascists do not exist. Intelligence and morality are largely independent qualities, and some fascists are smart assholes, not morons tricked into it.

Doesn't apply in this specific case, but still: Assuming all fascists are stupid is dangerous; makes it easier for the smart ones to work against you.

some context and/or link would help for everyone who just learned about this project and knows nothing about the devs

Why not both?

His base has long proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are immune to reflection, introspection, common decency and feelings of shame.

Too late

#FFFFFF represents the color white.

The whole thing was clearly intended as a joke.

That joke was a bit edgy, misguided and/or tactless.

The reaction still seems a bit extreme to me.

Same advice applies for that as for all other things related to relationships and/or sex:

1. Put yourself into situations where things can happen. (Can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.)
2. Don't expect anything to actually happen at any given moment. (If you are only there for one thing other people will notice it and that is not attractive at all.)
3. Be patient and enjoy whatever else is going on meanwhile.

There is no such thing as unbiased news. The best you can hope for is a diverse selection of news sources where the biases mostly cancel out in most situations.

They are not "pro-life", they are "pro-forced-birth".

Even if there was anything real about the claim that vaccinations increased autism rates, using that as a justification to stop vaccinations would still be a crazy stance. Autism is not a deadly disease, but many of the things we vaccinate against are.

probably he’s still grieving for his loved one who died as a direct result of their medical care claim getting denied

Another scenario that seems likely to me is that he's only got a few weeks or maybe months left to live himself due to a denied claim.

As a mostly straight dude who does not score high on conventional physical attractiveness I encourage absolutely everyone independent of their gender to hit on me. Being told/signaled that I am attractive is always welcome.

Just don't blatantly ignore boundaries like physical touch without explicit consent. That too applies completely independent of gender.

He wants to say "They didn't help us" later much more than he wants help now.

Can we establish "dismusking" as a new word that means "extremely disgusting"?

A typical project manager will get a range, take the lower bound and communicate it as the only relevant number to every other stakeholder. When that inevitably does not work out, all the blame will be passed on to you unfiltered.

Depending on where you work it may or may not be worth giving someone new the benefit of the doubt, but in general it is safer to only ever talk about the upper bound and add some padding.

I would argue that people who feel the need to prove their masculinity tend to be the ones not realizing that, and people here are making fun of that.

But is it USB-IF’s fault manufacturers tried [...]

Yes, it absolutely is USB-IF's fault that they are not even trying to enforce some semblance of consistency and sanity among adopters. They do have the power to say "no soup certification for you" to manufacturers not following the rules, but they don't use it anywhere near aggressively enough. And that includes not making rules that are strict enough in the first place.
