naught101 , to Today I Learned in TIL about de la Chapelle syndrome where people with XX chromosomes are born with traditionally masculine organs & presentation. Usually those with the trait are unaware they have XX chromosomes at all

That's an amazing sentence

That's a hall mark of our civilisation/society, not our species. Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and the vast majority of cultures in that time have been relatively stable, with checks on excessive greed.

(see Graeber and Wengrow's The Dawn Of Everything for some good examples.)

I hope it was consensual

naught101 , (edited ) to Microblog Memes in What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.

This. I'm in subtropical Australia. Bread goes on the bench in winter and in the fridge in summer (or in the freezer if I have too much).

I'm in a house of 3, and and in summer we get through about half a loaf before the rest goes mouldy. Less if it's been really wet.

I wonder when Dyson is going to bring out their arse-sized airblade?

I feel like this comment could be applied in many diverse contexts.

naught101 , to Political Memes in The DNC is the only reason you're not currently enjoying a second-term Sanders and a sane Supreme Court.

This article is old, but a good read:
https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/14/16640082/donna-brazile-warren-bernie-sanders-democratic-primary-rigged

The 2016 Democratic primary wasn’t rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn’t rigged against Sanders. But Democratic elites did try to make Clinton’s nomination as inevitable, as preordained, as possible. And the party is still managing the resentment that engendered in voters. “Once somebody doesn’t trust you,” sighs Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chair, “it’s very hard to get that trust back.”

The DNC did mess with the 2016 preselections, but the article argues that that probably benefited Sanders, by giving him much more of a platform than he would otherwise have had.

But it also seems like a footgun for the democrats as a whole, and probably contributed to the 2016 anti-establishment vibe that led to the Trump win

That's kind of a myth though, isn't it?

Like, OK, they probably have more mature security systems in place (but that's definitely not guaranteed, especially with anything middle tier or smaller), and at least they have cash reserves so you might get something if you can figure out how to sue them.

But most businesses would be well happy to make a quick buck off selling whatever private data they managed to get their hands on.

I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already tried to make a business out of redistributing background check information, now that I think about it..

That's a good list. Certainly a public feature/bug tracker would be nice. But those are pretty rare for corporate software..

Which bits are not functional? I'm using their email and calendar.. they aren't completely polished, but they're very usable.

Not trying to tell you what do do (I bet there's heaps of people that would see it the same way as you)

But it seems kind of odd that people are happy to give a background check to a corporate employer who doesn't give shit about them (and who they don't care about or feel any responsibility towards), but wouldn't do the same for a community org position that necessarily involves more responsibility to the broader community.
