Problem is that they were not always wrong. Napoleon and Hitler are the most recent examples, but in history there are dozens more. Their western front was just too accessible in pre-modern times, impossible to defend 100%.

I mean I was trying to be cute there, but I genuinely think that this it the way to proper respect and non-bigotry in the workplace. You have lots of oddball people in every workplace of more than 3 people, and you're supposed to function with all of them. Trans is just one more. And of course it's all subjective, so the people you might think are perfectly normal are completely bizarre to some other people and vice versa. And you have to navigate around that too.

Trans people are weird, but so is everyone else.

Not sure what the point is. UN has been completely powerless to stop Russia's clearly illegal war. Israel at least has a reason to wage war, even if they've gone wildly overboard. Also, UN is the one who put Israel where it is.

The phone I'm talking about is https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa/ and yeah I guess they're not even claiming that.

"Starting at $1,999" lol I was out of my fucking mind. Good thing I don't have that kind of monies.

A year ago I was seriously thinking that I might want to buy a laptop or a phone that was completely made in the U.S.
