No high-iq individual will work 2 weeks per week with no pay in a society that requires money to live.

Drop the double quotes and the 2 carriage returns and you can fit the same message now with "Sci-Fi" in the same character count.

I've never had problems using terms like "look man," "oh boy," or "dude" In "normal" conversion with anyone until recently. I was talking to a trans-woman I know and definitely stopped myself from dropping "hey man" in our conversation because I thought she would not appreciate it. That's caused some self reflection and while I'll probably continue to use genderbent language when talking with my wife I'll probably seek to minimize it elsewhere. I don't really know how in tune a given woman I'm talking to is with their muliebrity and it seems not my place as a cis man to make that determination for them.

I would say for a lot of people it probably doesn't matter, but for those that it does it does a lot and it's no skin off my back to try to be courteous in my speech with whomever.

Probably with running a bunch of independents at the local level. You can't do what the Greens tried and drag out an asset for the top position every four years with nothing else to show. Start small and get people used to the idea that it's okay for someone outside of the main parties to hold office. Build results then form a party from the independents once you've had some successful incumbents.

Took me way too long to realize we weren't talking about SanFran or Salesforce.

Therefore the wanton slaughter of 41,000 people is justified! Who knew they had an excuse this whole time?

Also, this used to be on their website before they realised just how much data they could hoover from PC sales.

No. They are a common victim of the trolley. I simply didn't render the person deciding their vote as, given the topic of discussion at hand, felt it was implied. Clearly I should have foreseen that the complicated moral of "Palestine was fucked either way, but there are other people that can be saved" was too advanced for some.
