spent the day alternating between dozing and glaring at everyone.

Life goals, honestly

Except XX male syndrome is a thing, where externally individuals present male but have female karyotype. So are those people female despite having functional male genitalia? And that’s only one of a myriad of situations where an individual’s chromosomes don’t reflect what their phenotype is like nor their biological reproductive function. Chromosomes are NOT an infallible indicator of biological sex.

Also the text of the law says nothing about chromosomes. It indicates from conception the cells that produce the large gamete are considered female, and cells that produce the small gamete are considered male. No one is producing gametes at conception. It also completely disregards anyone who produces no gametes at all. At best this law has declared everyone to have no biological sex whatsoever.

Was your grandma allowed to vote, and how many times did she vote? I kid ;)

Viscously

for some reason

I think we know the reason, my friend.

I don’t hate on the developers, I hate on the companies that so severely understaff and burn out their teams that no one is doing proper testing anymore.

I did actually read the article shortly after commenting, but had good reason to believe they would be talking about infants anyway as I’ve some knowledge on the topic. However, the article isn’t very clear that it’s the parents making the decision on behalf of their infant, and reads a bit like the doctors are going ahead and mutilating babies without anyone’s consent. Not that I find it’s any better that parents are consenting on behalf of their children for non-medically necessary surgery.

I’m assuming this refers to surgery on infants, in which case it’s the parents who consent, not the child.

Yep, improving Paris’ air quality has been a major focus for her for a long while. A huge number of roads have been replaced by cycle paths/public transport only, the speed limit throughout most of the city has been reduced from 50km/h to 30km/h, street parking spots have been reduced drastically, and certain older cars can’t are limited. It’s going to improve further given the périphérique speed has also been reduced (major traffic artery around the city), and the centre arrondissements are now being restricted for vehicles. Vehicle drivers are not too happy, but it does make a big difference for quality of life when you live and work in the city.

IANASU but apparently it’s true: https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/02/26/sea-urchins-wear-hats/

Enjoy!!

I recommend getting a heated blanket, then taking up residence under said blanket for the rest of winter.

General Pinochet’s rule in Chile is a good example:

In fact, when Milton Friedman—one of the principal architects of the so-called Chicago School of economics—traveled to Chile in 1975, it was still not clear whether Pinochet would fully embrace the Chicago School’s economic program. It was only after Friedman met personally with the dictator that Pinochet was persuaded to fight inflation with “shock treatment”—that is, steep budget cuts that would cause high unemployment but, Friedman promised, would also put the country on a more secure economic path.

Oh yeah for sure. I keep telling people the best part of being an adult is doing whatever the fuck you want as long as it’s not hurting anyone else. In a way I think part of what people miss about field trips is someone else organising these kinds of trips and “paying” for them. As an adult, you have to deal with all that yourself, on top of finding the time to do it.

If you work in the right job, ‘field trips’ can be a pretty common thing. Site auditors and inspectors, procurement officers, investigative journalists, surveyors, etc

Damn it’s getting harder to pick who to vote for!!

I’m voting for this guy, he’s so weird looking I love it!

If anyone is wondering I’m petty sure gasoline doesn’t foam like you see on the top if you look close enough. The colour is also clear or very slightly yellow (unless additives have been added), so the colour on these doesn’t look right. It’s more than likely a joke using beer.
