Disappointed that it doesn’t work on my phone.

If they can hide this, imagine what a malicious coder could hide.

Food for thought…

This would have been a lot more countercultural 20 years ago.

This strikes me more as 'look what nobody can get after us for getting away with"

If a Ford driver, or a ferret enthusiast, or a pastry chef , or a fan of dildos had slipped an easter egg in for one of those things, it’d be fair game in a way that this one isn’t, to criticize.

Not that I am criticizing it, I just realized that were I to, it’d be a hot potato in a way that other subcultural easter eggs might not be. Clever thing they did here, yes, but what’s the point?

Yeeeesh, bb, make up your mind.

Or an endearing supporter of the queer community?

I know, I know…

It’s almost like these posts are made by different people or something. /s

It works on pre-existing spreadsheets too; this just made doing some of my reports a little more interesting:

They’re very supportive of queers who are also neoliberal.

Have you been to SF pride lately? When I was there, they’d kicked out the Chelsea Manning brigade but Burger King had a prime themed burger…
