Alan Turing, the father of modern computers, has an incredibly depressing ending.
Chemically castrated due to being an illegal homosexual, he died in dishonor over bullshit homophobia and new drugs that the 1950s possessed.
And it wasn't until late 2013 that he was pardoned for the crime of "being gay", and ironically TERF island has only gotten worse since then.
That’s embarrassing. Sometimes I wish I could return to monkey
i find it hard to say terf island has gotten worse since the 1950s.
I meant since 2013, because yeah, it did get better for a little while. And now they're policing the bathrooms.
I sometimes still wonder why it got worse after. I think it's got to do with Putin invading Ukraine's Crimea and concurrently, spreading disinformation in the UK and US, causing Trump to win, and Trump in turn spreading even more hatred...
But that they could win was also reinforced by long standing social issues; the lack of proper and affordable housing, free healthcare, (and later, enormous inflation) for one!
In times like these, oligarchs try their hardest to indoctrinate the populace that playing out against each other is preferable as otherwise, groups they dislike get rights.
When these marginalised groups don't get into the news much nor that negatively (but do get support from politicians), and the socioeconomic circumstances are good for the bourgeoise (and the proletariat too), I think it would be much better.
UK was always TERFs headquarters due to previous-waves feminism being more successful (Thatcher was one of the first female head of states in the west), so cis british women assimilated into the power structure more.
ah! got it
but we avenged him by turning computers gay
Every UNIX socks post is in memory of Turing. If you don’t agree you’re gay. And if you do agree you’re gay too. Computers are gay and by using one, you’re gay. Jokes on you, by reading this, you’re using a computer. You’re gay. That’s the actual Turing test
turing completemess refers to the idea that any computational system capable of universal data manipulation is completely gay
"For Turing," Aragorn uttered, a cock in each fist.
West germany also put gay men from the concentration camp back into the prisons.
