IIRC they refined the Breeze icons over a LONG period of time to get them to the current state - I’m sure the same will be true here.

No problem that merits legislating against it (looks at title of OP) and certainly no problem that merits it being such a focus of the right-wing culture wars.
No problem if you don’t feel like being rightfully labeled a bigot is a problem.
I say as I’ve said repeatedly - no problem you or anyone else has is caused by someone wanting to be called they. The only problem that exists is the inability of the right to live and let live. (As is true of many other topics.)
So, no actual problem.
(You are of course, welcome to think whatever you want. I’d be in big trouble every time I was behind someone with a Trump sticker on their car if this wasn’t the case.)
Because they’re totally different uses of gender-neutral language
OK, let’s go with that. Can you please help me understand what problem is created for you by someone being non-binary and wishing to be referred to as they?
I understand that problem #1 is you are being asked to be respectful to someone you disagree with, but if we can get past that…?
Ah, willful ignorance. Core tenet of conservative viewpoints in all their forms.
Not one problem in your life is the result of a person you know (or even a person you don’t know) wanting to be referred to as ‘they.’
Not one.
Edit: LOL of course it was JasSmith@kbin.social - so I guess you do have some problem that someone else’s pronouns have caused for you?
So a small group of a minority would be…
I think you are expecting too much from him.
None of your problems in life are the result of a person you know (or even a person you don’t know) wanting to be referred to as ‘they.’
NONE.
The fact that his victims were better people than he is shouldn’t impact sentencing. We already knew that before he got to trial.
“I know how valuable those grandpa years are,” Dunn said after reading his letter to the judge. “I assure the court we can live in peace as neighbors. Someone must take the first step toward peace.”
That’s truly heartwarming. Until you realize he’s just ensured Emanuel can just get a few more years of reinforcing for his grandkids how worthless those n***rs are, really cementing the next generation of racist bigots.
Prior to the attack in September 2022, Emanuel shouted racial slurs at the group from his white Ford F-250, and demanded that the men leave the area, court records show.
After Dunn responded they were parked on a public road, Emanuel sped off only to return minutes later — his truck charging toward the group. Dunn’s son, Frederick Douglas Dunn, leaped into the grass, saving himself by mere inches.
How wonderful that we’re respecting the need for this racist, murderous, bigot’s family to continue receiving his influence for as long as possible.
Fines are only punishments if you are poor.
I’ll assume you know more about this than I do despite the lack of any citation.
I refuse to believe there’s an ethically acceptable business justification for this ridiculous markup.
The entire healthcare industry in the US is built on a foundation of corporate greed. This is just one obvious example.
I generally never believe a product is worth what apple is charging.
However, I also expect that the spin and salesmanship required to sell a five dollar cable as a 140 dollar cable is beyond even what Apple is willing to do. So I agree 100% it would have been much more interesting to see it compared against say a 40-80 dollar cable.
To me it is, could just be the guy who wrote it really likes Apple though. Who actually thought the 3 dollar cables were the same as the 140 dollar cable?
It came as many police departments nationwide have changed the way they respond to certain calls, including those involving mentally ill people — in response to outcries over police killings.
Well, citation fucking needed.
Yeah, it’s the kind of article you write when you want to be sure Apple comes out looking good.
All the commenter above you is saying is don’t mix up the cost to develop with the cost to mass produce,
That cost to develop was likely not borne by Pfizer in the first place.
Last year, the three largest US-listed pharmaceutical companies by revenues, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck, spent a combined $39.6 billion on R&D. That is, admittedly, a lot of money. But less than Medicare is currently paying on just ten drugs
While Big Pharma holds vast portfolios of existing patents for prescription drugs, the innovation pipeline for new drugs actually has very little to do with Big Pharma. In reality, public sources — especially the NIH — fund the basic research that makes scientific breakthroughs. Then small, boutique biotech and pharmaceutical firms take that publicly generated knowledge and do the final stages of research, like running clinical trials, that get the drugs to market. The share of small companies in the supply of new drugs is huge, and it’s still growing. Fully two-thirds of new drugs now come from these small companies, up from one-third twenty years ago. It is not the research labs of Pfizer that are developing new drugs.
From the passage I already quoted:

Well, they are going to have to do everything perfectly. One screw up of any kind and for the next ten years every discussion of diversity or women in leadership positions is going to include a Republican saying, “Yeah, well just look at what they did to St. Paul.”
