This is my biggest fear tbh. I have friends I'd love to see in plenty of places, but leaving isn't the worry. Coming back is, especially being trans with a passport of my correct gender marker

Only to then be disappeared into Federal custody, have my updated birth certificate deemed illegitimate and shipped off to God knows where

My boss has gotten to the point of "As Ashe would say, fucking Microsoft"

Let's not forget the endless name changes, 404'd documentation that points to non existent tools all of the time, the GUI that barely works. Always an adventure

Is it how they talk on those apps? Sure.

Is it how a lot of men just talk outright? Yeah, and it's insane. The messages my partner (cis) and I (trans) have gotten on Instagram even are so out of pocket.

I'll gladly accept the lack of understanding of boundaries, because it makes the red flags obvious from the start.

I'll add that it's very, very nice to see a rational, "respectful" reaction to being told they are trans though. Too many men who jump to invalidating gender and outright transphobia out there. Especially the ones who are only afraid of being seen as gay.

If you actually just set it up, this is the perfect time to reset it, and then press shift + F10 then enter "oobe\bypassnro"

It will reboot and you will be able to say that you don't have access to the Internet and set up a local account. That /might/ remove some bloat as well, without needing to reinstall from a flash drive. Which would require reinstalling drivers also.

They've been shown to be super susceptible to scams even. I probably support as many young users in my company as I do older ones, but virtually no one in the age range of ~25-35.

Every single person I know who has gotten out of the military has come out blue. With one (medically discharged) exception.

It's not even that people are unwilling, the problem is that personal sacrifices are a mere drop in the bucket compared to industry pollution.

The problem with industry pollution is that it happens in the shadows. Supporting greener products is fantastic, but so many are in dire situations where they are unable to spend the money to support the extra cost.

You get called out for shitty behavior that can negatively impact people, and are upset that carries consequences. That's not bullying fwiw

This looks like a Subaru. That being said, from what I've parsed, their privacy policy looks better than most. My 2021 hasn't had any obnoxious OTA updates. The worst it does is push easily dismissed service notifications. No secret codes on how to reset a light.

In an overwhelming number of situations, yes. Cops are intended to prioritize property over people and convictions over justice. Those who speak out about injustices face retribution from their peers and little defense from their union. Police unions act as criminal legal defense to eschew responsibility.

There have even been legal cases of departments refusing to hire people because they were "too smart". This is largely speculated to be due to fear of those who are more intelligent speaking out, and having a moral compass of their own rather than blindly following.

I don't understand the issue. Let multilingual people be multilingual.

No thank you! Genuinely, I'm here for content and to drop the occasional comment. I come from a time of irc and php. Customization was nice, but I'm not here for it these days.
