Always shouts out something obscene
Oh no. I'm just super casual around friends. I'm used to them calling each other dykes. We all know what we mean, there's no animosity

Puts the "pro" in procrastination
I got informed this was offensive when i started doing it
I interview a lot of folks, and up until a certain point in the interview, I actually dont know their gender (or name). It gets blacked out by the system, which is great because it helps disable unconscious bias. So my feedback just naturally became more along the lines of "they showed technical discipline in x, and demonstrated ability in y" even after I did interact with them and know their name/apparent gender.
DAI (diversity and inclusion) told me to stop because assuming gender neutrality was as offensive as assuming gender specificity.
Pretty sure that group may be staffed by a bunch of people that have made a professional career out of being offended for others.
So empathy is outlawed now?I got informed this was offensive when i started doing it

Enjoy your genitalia any way you please with people 18 and older who are also pleased and willing.
Well, it was nice knowing you all. Best if I slink away.

Justice Thomas said the legal rationale for Friday's decision could be applied to overturn other major cases, including those that legalized gay marriage.
"For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell," he wrote. "Because any substantive due process decision is 'demonstrably erroneous.'"
Just for clarity:
Griswold v. Connecticut ruled that states had no right to ban contraception for married couples (1965)
Lawrence v. Texas made same-sex sexual activity legal in every State and United States territory (2003)
Obergefell v. Hodges ruled that marriage was a fundamental liberty and extended that to same-sex couples (2015)
Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, ending right to abortion upheld for decades
The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the constitutional right to an abortion, reversing Roe v. Wade, the court's five-decade-old decision that guaranteed a woman's right to obtain an abortion.

You're talking "state" as in "nation" right? Because there is zero reason to believe that they care about federalism. The goal is national fascist theocracy and they'll probably get it.
Remember when @yeppers thought they'd care about what the people want? Not gonna stop him from voting for Republicans, ofc.Well, it was nice knowing you all. Best if I slink away.

"First they came . . ."
Thomas is a nut, he'd happily write the opinion that put himself back in chains.
In this fair state of Texas, however, there are laws still on the books about homosexuality and same-sex marriage. This is the reason these cases were up to the USSC anyway. The laws were never repealed, they were just not allowed to be enforced. But someone can use those still-existing laws, make a court case, bring it up to USSC, and they would use the same rules as this case and throw out Lawrence v. Texas and Obergefell v. Hodges.

The laws are still on the books in Texas. The court ruling before was that Texas couldnt' exercise those laws. This ruling, however, means that if someone tried to exercise the laws now, and it was disputed up to USSC, using the same ruling as today, the previous court rulings would be thrown out and let the state's law stand, which in Texas would outlaw homosexual behavior and same-sex marriage. For decades Texans can't get a hearing to even more those laws from the books so it's not like it's a done-deal.
