It's so odd that the generation that worshipped bands like Poison, Boy George and Annie Lennox somehow have issues with non-binary gender expression.

Kosovo: Serbische Armee kommt aus drei Richtungen
Der Konflikt zwischen Serbien und dem Kosovo nimmt bedrohliche Ausmasse an. Pristina warf Belgrad vor, mit Militär in Richtung des Kosovos vorgerückt zu sein – und zwar «aus drei verschiedenen Richtungen».

The "foreign language effect" is a phenomenon where switching from your native language to a second language can improve decision-making, moral reasoning, and memory. It reduces biases, making you more rational and open-minded. This switch also enhances personality traits like adaptability and tolerance for ambiguity. Using a second language can help you think more objectively and make better choices, offering unexpected cognitive benefits.

How thinking in a foreign language improves decision-making
Research shows people who speak another language are more utilitarian and flexible, less risk-averse and egotistical, and better able to cope with traumatic memories

Good Idea: Create your tech independence.
Email, cloud storage etc should not be in the hands of greedy corporations. Form groups and organize!
(kudos if you also manage every step and find the one where the author relies on 3rd parties)
https://sive.rs/ti#why
Tech independence is not depending on any particular company or software.
The only tools you need are the common open source basics built into any Linux or BSD operating system — free public-domain tools that are not owned by anyone, and can run on any computer.
Learn a few of these basic tools, and you can run your own private server on any computer forever, for the rest of your life. Host your own website and email. Keep your own contacts and calendars synced with your phone. Back up and sync your photos, movies, and music to your own private storage. No more subnoscriptions needed.
You can ignore all the companies offering “solutions”, even if they are free, because they take away self-reliance. The point is to know how to do it yourself, not to have somebody do it for you. It’s worth a little up-front work, like learning how to drive.
