I work on websites and have carried out extensive user testing to get the right non-binary honorific, and it ended up being Mx.
Implemented it on every site I’ve worked on now.

I thought 500 quid seemed a bit light to be mending generational wealth accumulation.
This seems much more in line with what I would expect.
Note, I’m a statistician, but don’t do maths outside of 9-5 /s
My apprenticeship is 4 years long and I work 36 hours a week, then need to do the learning and academic work which is around an additional 35 hours a week.
I’m just rolling into year 4 and I’m pretty tired now.
I’m also the only one left, everyone else who started in my cohort has dropped out because of the workload.
This person did seem to pull the “woe is me” threads in her text messages to other colleagues, apparently seeking out sympathy.
Also, if they’ve got nothing but sick kids, then a death or near death is the next step up to garner sympathy because the status quo is sick kids.
This may be a good guess to why she might have done it.
If you don’t have much of a maternal instinct, crying babies are pretty annoying.
But for the majority of us who don’t like kids, we just ignore it or if in charge of said infant, try to settle them rather than murder them.
I live in the UK and was astounded at the sugar consumption when I visited the US.
The most interesting one was bread - it was so sweet, almost like cake, while our bread is just plan savoury bread.
There seems to be an OTT approach to added sweetness that I thought was bad in the UK but is next level in north America.
Another key difference was the milk in coffee shops. I went into Double cup and found some half and half (semi skimmed milk?) and dumped a bunch of it in my coffee. Nope literally half cream half milk. Blllerchhhh.
That just doesn’t even exist over here.
Drinking coke - sugar free or otherwise - right after you brush your teeth will still fuck up your teeth.
It’s rammed full of acid.
Woman here, and genuinely, I don’t know what’s right.
I can recognise that m>f after puberty gives someone a strength advantage but at the same time it’s hard enough having to transition without feeling even more marginalised by being banned from sports.
Maybe there needs to be just a women’s and open category to recognise the strength handicap that cis women have for certain activities and allow anyone to compete in open, but then there’s the challenge of prize money, viewers etc etc between the two that also needs to be managed appropriately.
At the end of the day, someone isn’t going to be happy and for that there is no good solution, but we need to be doing our best for cis and trans athletes to make sure everyone has a chance to compete in the sports they live.
Chess? Banning trans competitors is fucking idiotic and the chess federation can fuck right off with that implied notion of women being less capable.
There was a guy joined my last organisation who would not shut the fuck up about Blockchain.
It was a retail org that sold branded mass produced stuff. There was no need for Blockchain but it was like, the only thing he knew about and his USP at interview stage.
He got fired. It was a good day.
They have been buying reviews.
Some of them hadn’t even changed the platform name to Reddit in their oh-so-general reviews.
Jokes on you, I have an autoimmune disorder, so getting the cold puts me in bed for a week.
It’s worth noting that we’ve also ruined many fruits through breeding and generic engineering so that they have a massively increased amount of sugar. They won’t be as ‘healthy’ as wild varieties, but hot damn do they taste good.
Do I feel so bad I want to just lie down? I’ll call in sick.
Am I at risk of yarfing or shitting my pants? I’ll work from home.
Otherwise, I go to work.
In Europe over 60,000 people died in 2022 due to heatwaves.
People are blind to these deaths because they’re not being taken out by a single devastating event, but rather a series of small events the people brush off as “they were going to die anyway”.
It’s one of the reasons I’ve not, and will not have children. This is getting exponentially worse and I couldn’t image the horror that our future will face.
