I genuinely like going to bed at like 11am to noon and getting up around 7pm to 9pm. Sadly there's not a lot of career advancement in the jobs that hire for those hours, and I've got student loans to pay.

I get a full trim every 12 weeks, and my stylist lets me stop by for a like 10 minute bangs trim after 6 weeks and doesn't even charge me!

Correct, because there is no argument to be had. Intentionally refusing to use someone's pronouns is unacceptable, every time, with 0 exceptions. If there's a dire need to be explicitly clear you're talking about a single person, you could just use their name in that instance.

Probably because singular "they" predates singular "you" grammatically. Should we go back to using thou and thee instead of the singular you as well?

Singular they is over 600 years old by the way: https://www.oed.com/discover/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/?tl=true

As a trans person, my gender dysphoria is not something caused entirely by social gender roles. Medical transition has greatly alleviated the majority of it. Anecdotally, within the first week of hormone therapy, my dysphoria improved dramatically while only being out of the closet to 2 people outside of my therapist and the medical professionals who prescribed my hormones. It has continued to improve, although I'm still waiting for the surgery that will resolve the remaining things that hormones can't fix.

Also, there are studies around brain structure differences between men and women, and transgender people tended to have brain structures in line with their gender, not their assigned sex at birth: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_gender_incongruence#Brain_structure

Perhaps you should believe people when they tell you who they are, and get past your discomfort drawing arbitrary lines in grammar regarding pronouns, when singular they predates the fall of the Byzantine Empire by 75 years.

I'm going to try to get it unlocked once it's paid off later this year. As for the sensor, it definitely can be blinding but I've never had issues with it not working. Good to know newer ones don't have the blinding problem!

It'll be paid off later this year and I'm going to give it a shot, but I'm pretty sure from the research I've done they'll unlock the carrier so you can use it with a different network. The bootloader they refuse to unlock for any phone purchased through them.

I sadly can't put Graphene on my pixel because I bought it through Verizon before I knew about their bootloader locking, but I have a 7 pro and the fingerprint sensor works completely fine.

I stopped using nextcloud after syncing suddenly broke for me, but in the app on my phone I could pull up the list of files with sync errors. It should be somewhere in the sync setting section.

If you do shutdown -s -t 1 you can skip the -f and it'll shutdown after 1 second.

For airplanes yes, for literally any other application no, that's inverted.

Yeah, that's inverted controls. Push the joystick up to go down, and down to go up.
