Are you saying that under enough social pressure anyone will revert to the gender binary? (j/k)

I think that reveals you aren't a "normal" request. Since "normal" user requests don't have that exact list of fonts. I'm anonymous, but aberrant.

"Just" remove a random 2.5% of the fonts, a different random set per request (context).

What reasonable alternative is there?

Plain-text emails. No clickables, no tracker images.

Honestly, while I agree that good training is a way forward, I gotta say the training at my workplace does NOT let you know how to check anything. It's more of a "don't open emails you don't trust", here are some nightmare scenarios. While, at the same time, we get actual mandatory training emails, that are flagged by both our internal mail system, and the pre-installed mail client as "DO NOT TRUST" that we are required to click through. My complaints to IT to at least fix the internal mail system flagging have been replied to with "User's should expect these emails, so they should know to ignore all the warnings and click anyway."

We are training people to ignore their training, so of course it's not helping.

Also, even with SPF and DMARC and whatever other TXT records in place, it's still possible to get a "spoofed" From address into a user's inbox, so I find teaching people to use that header as an indicator of anything personally offensive to my technical knowledge.

Agreed. The misogyny is clear, even ignoring any hint of trans issues. But, I don't know what a settlement would look like and how much effort it would be to fight WMT lawyers.

"Sure my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship," Lewinsky wrote in 2014. "Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position."

Lewinsky says she now sees that her relationship with Clinton was full of "inappropriate abuse of authority, station, and privilege."

"Now, at 44, I’m beginning (just beginning) to consider the implications of the power differentials that were so vast between a president and a White House intern," she wrote. "I’m beginning to entertain the notion that in such a circumstance the idea of consent might well be rendered moot."

@andros_rex@lemmy.world didn't take away Lewinski's agency.

I'm almost certain they mean Reddit, but there are a lot of sites that aren't lemmy.dbzer0.com ... like lemm.ee and infosec.pub ... even some sites that aren't Lemmy instances like infosec.exchance or hachyderm.io.

ISTR you can do the sieve thing with true living sponges, too. Life on earth is wild. I wonder if it will be considered mild once we find some interesting life off-planet.

That's assault, "brotha".

You don’t think retirement is a human right or at least should be?

In a post-scarcity society, no one should have to work. But, if there is scarcity, I don't believe those with less-working-time should (important EDIT) NOT be forced to provide for those with more-working-time.

I do think government-organized retirement is a good thing, but I don't feel it is a human right.

let’s pump the brakes on the healthcare

I didn't say that. I think healthcare in the U.S. is woeful, and hardly anything that is a human right is provided as a right. And, we should massively expand the availability of healthcare.

I did imply there are some medical procedures that I don't believe are human rights. Depending on who I'm talking to, we might even disagree whether a procedure is medical or not. Some people swear by their chiropractors or essential oil treatments.
