I play a niche sport that is extremely progressive and has a large trans community. The sport is often played mixed gender with people of all genders on the field at the same time. I play this sport at a high competitive level and have qualified for the national championships a few times.

I have certainly had friends impacted by this. I've have friends who had to match up on a gender match that may have benefited from their bodies sex at birth. I've had friends who didn't make a team because the team took a trans athlete over them. I've had friends who are nonbinary/trans athletes choose to compete against people born male when they could have matched otherwise.

In the end, I'm so proud of my community because those impacted are often happy for the welcoming environment we're creating for people. I don't mean to minimize the impacts to some members of the community, but the benefits are so large I'm glad we choose to support our friends who need welcoming environments. Our trans and non binary community need more environments like these where they just get to be themselves and feel welcomed.

Honestly the steamdeck shows we are getting close. It works like that, just in a slightly bigger form factor and without some of the phone hardware.

A little more tech advancement and I think this won't be that hard to do.

I'm no where near the CEO level, but I am a mid level manager. There are enough different things going on in my org that there is no way I could know how to do everything. However, I view my role as empowering and supporting those who do. I understand I can't do the things, so I spend most of my time listening to those who can. The problems come when people start thinking they know better than those doing the work. I strongly believe I work for my team, and if that ever gets me out of alignment with upper management, I've accepted that means I'll be let go. But this model has gotten me great success.

As a non lawyer reading that list of exceptions, it sounds like it will be easy for the prosecutors to get a few to apply?

I was waiting for this to be a setup and you get mugged to withdraw from your ATM. Glad it turned out better lol.

There's one other use case I love - i ask it to interview me or challenge me on my ideas. It can sometimes ask questions that cause me to rethink things. But in the end, I'm still the one doing the work. It's my advanced rubber duck.

Their underperformance is a higher savings/investing rate that leads to a greater wealth disparity long term. This is why redistribution (through taxes or other means) is so importantly to balance the scales.

But as other commenter's have pointed out, my target would be billionaires not doctors and lawyers.

I'm in the situation you're talking about right now. There's an upcoming restructuring and on paper, I've been able to reposition my teams so there's no job elimination and I've found homes for everyone. I'm actually excited about the plan. But I've been around the block enough to know that my plan on paper might not be accepted, and that this is just phase one. The funding to contract externally needs to come from somewhere. Laying off entire teams might be what causes me to finally put my own job on the chopping block to save a few others. I could go back to being a staff dev and it's potentially not even much of a pay cut. But damn do I love everything else about my job, but mental load of these decisions, even when I know they're the best ones I could make, is a lot.

Don't worry, many people in those situations will blame Obamacare when they get the bill (Edit: \s on the don't worry. Do worry, because this will absolutely happen)

How much you want to bet that ICE tries to raid one of these meetings?

Would love Asylum. Scared for my daughter growing up in this country right now. Realistically we'd have a hard time taking it and leaving our families, but I told my wife anything is on the table if our daughter needs it.

My wife has ARFID, and it's so hard on her. That's so interesting that you don't feel hunger, she definitely does but has a very very small list of safe foods she wants.
