But these traits are secondary and tertiary sexual characteristics (ie they are tied to your biological sex). They are certainly the origin of gender identity, but they don't justify it. My dissatisfaction is not with the concept of sex. It's fair to say, "oh that person has a penis, that person is a woman, that person is intersex," and we should strive to develop better, more diverse sexual classifies, but gender? Na.

Gender roles/ jobs, fem and masculine, the separation of media to cater towards one gender or the other, the gendering of clothes, attitudes, and opinions, and finally the gendering of sex. It's all just caveman talk, imo

Gender is the cultural outcome of primary and secondary sexual characteristics and in no meaningfully physical way exist. In other words, we traditionally have a "boy" culture and a "girl" culture, not a gender. We are artificially indoctrinated and assimilated into a given culture based on primary or secondary sexual characteristics.

Likewise, it follows that all other gender identities are similarly a cultural phenomenon and not the outcome of some essential characteristic of the individual.

Gender cultures are, at least historically speaking, bad. They've generally been used to persecute people who aren't in the dominant (boy) gender, and the conditions dictating mobility between genders is so intensly arbitrary that it warrants abolishing the whole stupid idea. Gender dysphoria is a symptom, generally, of the tyranny of these conditions.

(PS, I totally am open to being wrong about this.)

I'm old enough to recognize the phrase, but I've long since forgotten the source. 💀

To take over the world? I'd take the records of every international technology and medical patent. And, a cell phone. I'd get the local news interested in my new handheld PC, find the least scrupulous tech company which reached out to me, and hatch a plan to create a trillion dollar tech empire.

This is bloody hilarious 🤣

It sounds really cool, but I've honestly had issues installing it on two PCs now on two separate occasions separated by a couple months. Issues I didn't have installing Ubuntu. The installer would fail to complete. I'm not a Linux power user, and while I tried debugging for a few hours, I gave up.

Omg, I forgot about that character 😅

I feel like this phenomenon should have a catchy name, like: "No one hates Scotsmen more than Scotsmen."

I am unimpressed with copilot on Windows 11. Privacy aside, It seems like a web wrapper for Bing ai, which is a performant chat bot, but isn't anything special when you compare it to openai's data analytics ai.

It wasn't able to update PC settings or files, for example. Though, I only had 15 min with it.

Your situation sounds like it has some red flags. It might be worth asking Lemmy specifically for advice on that and get an outside opinion.

As for the question? My parents own a house. I'd make it a home for my few friends who can't afford one and move on in.

I keep reading his name as David D Pepe in my head. Far too fitting.

For 3000 photos? A couple hundred bucks for a scanner and whatever you value approximately 67.5 hours of your time.
