If it's a display then there are cables for USB-C to whatever port you will find on a new display.
So my choices are carry round a USB-C to HDMI dongle or preemptively rewire every conference centre I visit so they have USB-C cables not HDMI. Or I can buy a sensible laptop.
If it's a device with a USB-B port then don't buy a dongle, buy the right cable.
Right-o I'll just rewire all those devices with builtin cables to have USB-C cables (which I can't use with older laptpos)! Brilliant!
Or I can get a thinkpad which is faster, has more storage is lighter, has a nicer keyboard, better cooling, and is cheaper.
I hear of people trying to bring awareness for female genital mutilation, another thing that happens thousands of time every year.
You're comparing something forced on without consent to something entered into with full consent and at least over here considerable psychological evaluations and time spent in a reversible stage (hormone therapy). to compare the two is beyond disingenuous.
When this happens to men and we wrap this up in the euphemism of "gender reassignment surgery" then we celebrate it.
Kind of losing patience here.
Because it's not the same. You know like sex.
If you have sex with someone and you both consent, it's great. If you force sex on someone it's called "rape", it's bad and you shold go to prison for a long time. Even though they're both sticking your dick in someone.
My god! That's unpossible you say! How can some things which have physical similarities be so different!?
There is an attack on masculinity, and men are choosing to hand in their "man card" and get "reassigned".
OK lost patience.
Translation: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
That wasn't enough, now we celebrate the medical castration of men. We wrap it up in happy mouth noises and consider ourselves to be "helpful" in removing a man's ability to reproduce
The original claim is XY means male. The existence of those conditions proves beyond any doubt that XY is not the same as male, because there exist cases of XY where people are clearly, indisputably not male.
What you're trying to do is muddy to waters so the original claim of "XY is male" stands while hedging like hell.
Allowing people to live a lie that they are some other gender than what they were born is not good for their own mental health
Allowing people to not believe in Jesus will make them go to hell. We must convert them for their own good.
Thing is you're stating an opinion as if it were fact because you WANT to believe it's true, not because it is true. The evidence is very mixed. you claiming it as a known fact is you imposing your considerable biases.
Wow some people really REALLY care about other people's gender. I wonder why precisely you care so much, you need to get out more. Feel free to respond with a hilariously simplistic argument about genetics demonstrating that you have nothing more than a schoolboy level of understanding.
Wow, where do you live where they force you to do that??
Dial back your outrage, bruv. People not relentlessly cleaning your shit up after you is not the same as forcing you to do anything. It's no wonder freedom is genuinely under attack when it's loudest supporters have such a perverted meaning of it.
I'm happy other people want to do it and participate, but I don't like the idea of being FORCED to do it.
Get over yourself. No one's forcing me to do recycling, they just make it the easy choice. Read the actual context and dial back your freedums outrage.
I'm happy other people want to do it and participate, but I don't like the idea of being FORCED to do it.
Good job we have single stream recycling. I have two bins, one for recycling and one for rubbish. I also have a small countertop container for vegetable peelings.
and having to bother while iN the middle of cooking having to stop and decide which fucking can I have to put this or that.
If you're capable of normal human level pattern recognition, it gets easy fast. Most food related packaging things are recyclable now except for films and heavily contaminated paper and oddments like twist ties.
By the way, do you folks that recycle also have 2-3 different trashcans in each of your bathrooms too so you can sort stuff?
Eventually folks got tired of it and used the recycling bin as trash pickup.
If you do that round here, the dustmen will not collect your bin and will put a tag-of-shame on it, the tag being a little info leaflet telling you which things can go in the recycling, which can go in the composting bin and which can go in regular trash.
You can request larger bins if you like, but the non recycleable non compostable rubbish is still only going to get collected once per fortnight.
We used to carefully sort and fill multiple recycling containers with paper, glass, metal, etc. But then they wanted to have only one pickup container, and call it single-stream. So now we're supposed to throw everything in there together. What did they expect?
People were never good enough at sorting recycling anyway, so it had to be re-sorted on collection anyway. If you have to do that you may as well bundle everything in together, it's easier to get people to participate (especially if you reduce non-recycling trash collection) and it's easier to collect.
It is bizarre because atheism is mainstream and popular in the UK
It is: it's the normal sort of atheism where people simply don't believe in god and get on with their lives. Not the internet atheism which seems to revolve around being as loud and obnoxious as possible about it.
And, I recall when someone wanted to encourage boys to become veterinars (for practical reasons, the field, which is now dominated by women, needs people who could deal with big animals like cows, when most women stick with dogs/cats and smaller cuties),
Um what. It doesn't matter if you're a 90lb girl or a 303lb pro wrestler if it comes to a match of strength between you and a cow you lose and you lose hard. They weigh 3/4 tons, can run at 25mph and jump a fence. Likewise a horse. There's a reason "strong as an ox" is an expression.
And, find me a human who can carry another round on his back for 6 hours up and down hills. I actually know a few horse people (some male, some female) and none of them use strength to deal with horses because they all know it's a losing proposition.
If the said greedy corp could get women to do the work of men for even 1% of the cost, men would not be able to find jobs.
Since when are corps 100% rational? We spend half the time here complaining about the stupidity of management and now we're supposed to believe that they are literally perfect at business?
I love watching people inventing things and then getting really angry about them. Any Brits here remember teh "Angry Frank" sketch from Harry Enfield in the 90's?
Today's stories include "How you're stupid if you question any vaccine on any level
Oh christ you're an anti-vaxxer (that's the only reasonable interpretation for your wild misrepresentation of the recent stories).
Now to be fair most of the anti-SJWs here are as firmly against the idiot anti-vaxxers as the rest of us. Now I wonder are you going to get modded up because you're anti-SJW (a very fashionable choice on slashdot at the moment and alomst guaranteed to get upmods) or are you doing to get modded down becuse you're clearly an anti-vax idiot.
Now what I fully expect to happen here is that the blatantly false parent post to stay modeded at +5, and mine correcting the record to end at -1 Troll, because I went against the narrative.

Then the faculty job teaches you that it doesn't really matter because you're going to spend the rest of your career going paperwork.

Does Manning have any of those conditions?
Utterly irrelevant.
The original claim is XY means male. The existence of those conditions proves beyond any doubt that XY is not the same as male, because there exist cases of XY where people are clearly, indisputably not male.

What I want to know is why you care so much?
Wow there's a lot of people short of reasoning here. To summarise:
>>> Your a moran XY means Male
>> Existence of [insert one of many conditions] proves that is not always true
> Nuh uh doesn't count.
Not a She. His XY Chromosomes says he's a male. That is how science classifies him.
Well, science also classifies you as a moron. Since we both agree SCIENCE[*] is always right we therefore both accept my statement.
Anyway just to show you that your sub-schoolboy level of understanding of genetics is wrong, see if you can guess which of these people are XY:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...
(none of them have had gender reassignment surgery). It's all of them!
Also you plonker, science doesn't bother itself with your silly pronouns. It's more concerned with more precise words like "phenotype".
[*] i.e. some rando claiming it's what "science says".
"Chelsea" does not exist.
So, you are denying the reality that legal name changes exist.
And yes I will be sent to -5 by the far leftists I don't even know why I read this site anymore.
Far leftists, i.e. enyone from moderately right of centre leftwards. If you want to get likes for your blatantly stupid bigotry, then head to Gab.
Not a she in the first place.
Wow some people really REALLY care about other people's gender. I wonder why precisely you care so much, you need to get out more. Feel free to respond with a hilariously simplistic argument about genetics demonstrating that you have nothing more than a schoolboy level of understanding.
That is I think about the most entitled thing I've heard all day.
Wow, where do you live where they force you to do that??
Dial back your outrage, bruv. People not relentlessly cleaning your shit up after you is not the same as forcing you to do anything. It's no wonder freedom is genuinely under attack when it's loudest supporters have such a perverted meaning of it.
I live in one of the south London boroughs.

By the way, do you folks that recycle also have 2-3 different trashcans in each of your bathrooms too so you can sort stuff?
no.
They have 3 different runs round these parts, but compensate by having fewer of them.
Eventually folks got tired of it and used the recycling bin as trash pickup.

The price reflects the total resources something is worth to someone else
The price does not reflect externalised costs.
Where recycling and reusing actually makes economic sense, no one has to create a government program for it, nor fine people for not doing it.
It made good economic sense to polllute rivers to the point where they could catch fire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Government programs and fines were necessary to stop people doing something which to them made "good economoc sense".
