    You said that YF was "reaching deep" this morning by posting the piece. It was a business story published in the New York Times. I guess I'm just curious what he was "reaching deep" about.

    It is a great injustice Bumble users can no longer show off their guns.

    That's not what he said.

    This is what he said:

    And, practically, wouldn’t you want to know up front if the guy is such a gun nut, that he included one in his profile pictures, rather than finding out later?

    That seems reasonable.

    The tell in YF's original Bumble post is the phrase "virtue signaling."

    Businesses get to choose what they are and to whom they sell. And how they sell it.

    What kind of "signaling" is Concealed Carry Match dot com after?

    Why is one more laughable than the other?

    Bumble can do what it wants, obviously. But it is silly to bar all photos of firearms under the guise that users find such photos "threatening." People in Montana use Bumble, too, don't they?

    The coastal/flyover split is laid pretty bare in the gun debate. (And just to make it clear, I advocate complete repeal of the Second Amendment.)

    Coastals and their spiritual brethren have a difficult time understanding why anybody would post a photo of him or herself with a firearm on a dating site. Flyovers and their spiritual brethren have a difficult time understanding why anyone could possibly have a problem with it.

    Bumble wants to be a dating app for Brooklyn, gentrified Chicago, and San Francisco. Which, as @Azrael seems to be kind of getting at, is their prerogative.

    He might not have been drunk. But it all seems to have been an act ...

    “Have you thought this through?” I pressed him. “Are you actually willing to go to jail over this?”

    “I’ve thought it through, and I don’t think Mueller’s willing to send me to jail,” he said. “If Mueller sends me to jail, I will laugh and I’ll be out within two days.”

    How would you pull that off? I asked.

    “Because I’ll give him my fucking emails!”
