The whole capitalization of pronouns thing was pretty much entirely made up around the 19th century anyway (as well as the capitalizing the word "Lord", which the King James version invented outright), so you can argue that protestant churches are following a woke plot to change the pronouns of the christian god as well.

Simple, effective, doesn't make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

Falling afoul of the unspoken rule a bit, but this is a lot more social anxiety and/or introvert being forced to go to a social event than autism. I know a lot of people with autism who are very much social butterflies, and just as many who want to be left alone.

I wish tbh, been diagnosed for 3 years and still haven't found meds that work. I suppose that's inevitably part of it, but it sucks to just not be able to do things because my brain doesn't want to give me good chemicals.

You'd be entirely correct, and that's exactly why there's an ongoing debate in physics and cosmology as to why there's so much matter, and so little antimatter in the universe.

Truly shocking that the AI trained on data provided mostly by male and privileged individuals would sound male and privileged.

Sometimes you really have to stop and ask yourself what the fuck is going on at Mozilla's HQ. It's insane how they manage to shoot themselves in the foot at least once a week.

Given the historical record on attempts at Mercosur-EU trade deals, this is likely to fail yet again, since the EU's agricultural voting bloc (mostly in France and Italy) doesn't really want the market to be populated by cheaper products from abroad (at least not any more than it already is). But at this point, given the several ongoing food crises that Russia's invasion of Ukraine caused, the chances for a successful agreement are about as high as they can go, so they might as well go for it.

Fighting the uphill battle yet again. And yet again, this is gonna fail because many, if not most websites will either ignore it completely or find a workaround to keep selling your data. After all, what are they gonna do, sue every company that does this? Not to mention that Do Not Track is already a thing, and it doesn't work because any site that relies on ads for money isn't gonna stop tracking you just because you asked nicely, and the ones that do are already more respecting of user privacy anyway.

Isn't the entire point of the Rome Statute that the country accepts the court's jurisdiction involving international crimes and crimes against humanity as higher than that of any national court? I'm not an expert, but I imagine this defeats the point of signing the statute in the first place.

To be fair, I'd be absolutely vibing in a room like this. Probably wouldn't help a panic attack though.
