how do you know they're not native born?

Because bosses say one thing (company principles, work ideals, whatever) and do another.

Or, that in 2023, there are still people who have convinced themselves they're not influenced by race and gender.

in NYC, libraries are someplace folks without homes can hang out, use computers, be out of the weather people work remotely from libraries (free wifi in a quiet environment and you don't have to buy coffee) libraries offer services as

Even the smallest facist gets a voice now... yay?

They could be making it clear that this does not include trans men, who are still capable of getting pregnant despite being on testosterone.

Java is the new COBOL, though modern and more vibrant obviously, and that's not a bad thing. Plenty of work to be had for a long time to come.

Not cynical at all. Nobody asked for this and it's being forced on us by bigcorps who don't give a shit about people, backed by asocial amoral people who don't give a shit about people.

Finland, population 5 million USA, population 300 million 60x people in 29x area Scale works differently here.

You're ignoring specifics by making a dismissive general point. There is a specific thing happening right now that has the goal of eliminating a kind of person by preventing them from existing. That's different than the misogyny o

And because of that are people taking away your health insurance? Are people preventing you from getting necessary medical care?

Seriously? That's your response. Who's debating your right to existence? Or do you get to take yours for granted?

If it creates a pervasive atmosphere of fear that results in physical violence or calls people to violence directly or indirectly, then I'd say speech can be violent. I disagree with free-speech absolutism that pretends speech is simul

When people realized that violent speech can be considered violent action as random people took the fearmongering and attacked other people or threatened to bomb hospitals and libraries in stochastic terrorist attacks. https://en

It is values not censorship to say that you value protecting people from harmful speech in a private company.

maybe when easy to use birth control gave women the power to choose whether they wanted to bear more (or any) children?
