My health insurance costs 842€ a month. I pay half of it, the other half my employer. So I am quite impressed with the $20 from the estimation.

But why do two jobs? Won’t people do a better job concentrating on one thing and getting $2000 for that, instead of gaining experience in two different areas at the same time?

Just show up and show them the booking confirmation!

Becoming a solution architect in my field of work and thus earning more money.

Hope I could inspire you!

Do you have children?

Do you have experience with introducing them the gore and excessive violence? I think I need advice from seniors😅

Yep! I agree. And I believe the whole discussion is unnecessary in most cases.

There are some instances where it is important.

Do you cut the red or the blue wire when defusing a bomb (a clear definition is mandatory!)

Who can participate in the women’s sport competition and who in the men’s (this conversation should be done by the people who are actually doing the sport, not by me!)

Should I as a boss apply a gender pay gap to you or not?

If it changes by culture, then each culture will have their own definition. So if we ask a Texan Redneck and a Swedish Librarian, we will get two very different answers. But they both might be right in their culture.

Culture does not have borders. You and your neighbour have different cultures. So I believe this is nothing you can argue about, unless you specify a definition first. It does not have to be a global definition, it does not have to apply to all people, it doesn’t even have to make sense.

The definition will make it possible to discuss the topic. When the definition is precise, it will be a very short discussion. The interesting part is coming up with that definition and figuring out what aspects you want to include and what you deem not relevant.

I don’t know any person like this so this is just my imagination guessing:

Could be that you were born with male phenotype and raised that way. But you discovered that your feelings are really more aligned with the feminine realm.

But since you look male you don’t want to appear strange for others, so you keep the way you have been looking all your life, how you are used to dress and behave, and just identify as female. Might make you feel better and more aligned with your inner self.

We could define two genders: Males are all humans larger than 175 cm Females are all that are 175cm or smaller.

Or we take the degree by what the jaw line is curved and sort it from most masculine with strong curves to most feminine with slow elegant curves.

We could go by genetics. Then we only have a handful of genders (xx, xy, xyy, xxy, … etc)

What I am saying is: define what it is first, and then the discussion is very simple. By my first definition there are exactly two genders, second one has infinite, third definition has a handful of genders.

I don’t get the gender conversation. Before you discuss, define what gender means. After you defined it, it should be clear how many types there are or can exist.

If you can’t decide on one definition, then make up several. „Genders A“, „Genders B“, …

It should be very simple.

Talking to a kid about the deep terrible natures of mankind, gruesome accidents and gory slaughterings is something I would like to postpone as far as possible.

The internet has 7 years to clean itself up for my oldest to become 12. Do China and North Korea have this problem? They have other shit going on, but did they at least solve this shit?

That would mean I also have to change. 😵‍💫 But I am a big part of the problem!

 

Scientists have to list all the sources they use. And they quickly get called out for doing mistakes in that regard and suffer a loss of trust in their work.

What would happen if everything politicians say or write had to contain sources?

Speeches are prepared anyway, so you have to publish all the sources of your speech right after you held it. Saying things differently than in the source would be illegal.

I think it would be quite interesting, and a completely different way to do politics.
