Another oft-overlooked problem with women-only spaces is that they tend to put enormous pressure on the litmus, namely, "is so-and-so a woman?" This tends to screw over people like me (trans). Now, I know that's not front pag

As a Canadian I deplore this apparent policy. I'm not sure why Toshiba has introduced it, but it wouldn't surprise me if there is difficulty warding off warranty fraud under certain legal systems. Like, those legal systems your la

ABD in ethics here. I can't believe someone actually drew a line on a chart and labelled it 'ethics'. This is a category mistake, like accusing a shade of blue of murder, or asking the Pythagorean theorem on a date. If you&#x

I snort derisively at white kids saying 'reverse racism' like it's a thing. HOWEVER. 1. Why is there a white dude in the driver's seat on the donation page? That's a bit dances-with-wolves, and most of the (admitted

It's the same as when SourceForge started doing drive-by installs, and the cure is the same: Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
