But it is in a sense all of those things - you are born with a set of genitals that define your sex, as a result your gender identity is also defined at birth based on the social roles that the society you exist in prescribes. There’s arguably a conversation to be had about the entire concept of gender abolition but that’s a hypothetical that we aren’t anywhere near, for the here and now we have genders and people define what that means for themselves

Not really? That depends on the culture one is growing up in. There’s nothing inherently male or female about any clothes, they are defined as male or female based on the society and its gender ideals. At no point did I define things as strictly male or female, and happily enough the lines on what are considered gendered are blurring, the point remains that gender is socially constructed whereas sex isn’t. You aren’t male because you don’t identify as male, someone who was assigned female at birth however could decide that they want to live their lives as a male and identify that way

I typed most of it up and then thought “I should’ve just gone with the tl;dr” but decided I was already committed 😅

Whatever = gender. Like, what else would it be? You are born with a sex - typically male or female - and then society in general decides what that means for you, girls wear dresses and boys don’t, for example. That is essentially gender, the roles we play given the sex we have, but roles aren’t ingrained - a girl isn’t biologically predisposed to wear a dress, she may be biologically predisposed in general to lean towards a female gender identity that includes dresses, and she also might not, and then might also not be predisposed to lean towards that female gender identity at all and instead be transgender.

A quick and dirty tl;dr would be that sex is between your legs and gender is between your ears.

(Disclaimer: I am also a dumbass who isn’t great at putting words down, doesn’t know as much as they think they do, and also hasn’t entirely woken up yet, somebody much more capable in one or more of these areas will likely explain it much better)

Is there to be no browser where I can be free of AI?

You know what? Good for her

Preaching to the choir, I’d have them all tried for every single one of those deaths

We are just lucky that Rees-Mogg doesn’t have the charisma of Boris Johnson, at least Boris is only after satisfying his own ego

It’s actually very clever, because the aim was to distract from the “wine and cheese nights” thing - if people google “Boris Johnson cheese” this story is more likely to come up than anything else. He’s clever enough to play the buffoon, and that’s worrying

No it isn’t. I won’t be clarifying my position

So Windows To Go is still the way? I saw some stuff that suggested Microsoft didn’t support it anymore so I wondered how viable it was. I do have Windows on my old PC tied to my account, no idea if that’s transferable to any degree but I assume not

“Sequential Read/Write speeds up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s respectively” from the Amazon listing, it’s an NVME drive being used in a JSAUX Dock that has an NVME enclosure

Seriously just use Firefox for your browser and Revanced on mobile for youtube

Why not play the Good Night Kiss card too?
