This sounds like a gender/trans-related extension of all titles, male and female, similar to the change in the use of Mrs. or Miss on the names of females in the 1980s. The preferred "marriage-neutral" title for females is now "Ms."

I retired in Thailand about 14 years ago after living in Thailand and being married to a Thai wife for about six years before that.

I've lived in Thailand for over 20 years and do part-time work on my PC. I also live outside of Bangkok, up in northeastern Thailand. I've always found many Thais that do excellent work on computers. Many speak English very well. I'm just posting this in case you can't find a technician like you want, and suggest you try some Thais.

Yes, 75M were either conned by Trump or have the same detestable values he does. I'll be very interested to see what you think about all this four years from now. If Trump is able to accomplish even only a few of the things he's promised, I will be completely demoralized about my home country's future.

Yes, my vote was more against Trump than for Kamala, but I think Kamala would have made an okay president. Trump will be a disaster. And, yes, you're right again. I would have voted for Minnie Mouse or anyone else over Trump. I'll be interested to hear what you think four years from now...

In 2016, it was 48% Hillary and 46% Trump. 2016 United States presidential election - Wikipedia And, no, I wouldn't call that a "vast majority" either.

Kamala lost the popular vote (just barely, 51% to 47.5%) because people were lied to and conned by Trump. Now, we'll just have to see how things go over the next four years. I predict chaos and catastrophe.

How do you define an election win of 51% to 47.5% as a "vast majority"?

I agree entirely with Kamala on this... ❤️

That someone is lying about Trump? Not at all. I think you mistyped this. It should be, "That Trump is lying about someone? Not at all." 😉

If you're referring to Thailand, it does have a lot of socialistic features. Good examples are the public health system and public hospitals,

Correct...

You can't live a socialist life within a capitalist system, just as you can't live a capitalistic life within a socialistic system.

I did the best I could in the capitalistic system I lived in, but I now recommend a more socialistic system. I learned as I got older.

I first earned money as an employee, then as a sub-contractor, and finally as a full contractor. I never worked at anything that was contrary to my values, and did work for free or for a reduced fee for some businesses that couldn't afford my regular fee.

My values are much more important to me than my finances and always have been.

Yes, I was also surprised that this "cancel culture" happened at Oxford. The "incident" is not explained in detail, and that is why I opined it was a homosexual relationship. Cancel culture, at least in my home country, the USA, is notorious for targeting homosexuals and trans people.

The joy and peace I have in life come from my socialist values.

It is you who do not understand. I am woke. I will remain woke. It doesn't matter to me if that's not what the majority of my fellow citizens want right now, and I didn't lose. I kept my values. I only hope more of my fellow citizens will develop those values in the future. I think four more years of Trump might help them see the results of rejecting those values. And actually, I don't think they reject these values. I think they've just put their own interests above them.

then you will lose again, the majority of people don't want it I will not lose. I didn't lose this time. I will be the same years from now as I am today. The people who lost are the ones who were conned into voting for Trump.

DEI is not racist, nor does it advocate any other prejudices. DEI is an attempt to make sure that racism and other prejudices are not practiced in the workplace. Like I said before, it is not Affirmative Action.

The left and DEI are not using race (or any other feature) as a "prop to further a political agenda." They are trying to eliminate racism and other prejudices from the workplace.

100% erroneous. Society should be about merit not doling out awards based on looks. Stop insinuating yourself. Your status in society should not be based on merit—that's a feature of capitalism. Your status in society should be equal to everyone else's—that's a feature of socialism.

DEI is not Affirmative Action, which was an attempt to "correct" situations arising from White-favoring racist policies in the past. DEI is only trying to ensure that no racist (or other prejudicial) policies will continue in the present.

DEI might seem to "exclude" straight White people (only right-handed ones 😉 ) because, before DEI and its predecessor, Affirmative Action, preference was given to straight White people. DEI is an attempt to make sure that kind of preference is not practiced anymore. White people don't have to accept being "second-class citizens." They have to accept now that all others are also "first-class citizens." Historical Context of DEI in the Workplace - Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Blog Post By Juan Taveras (He/Him/His)
