@saramg As an engineer/scientist in my 40s I can confirm most of this :)
Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.
I wouldnt go so far as to say its the worst. You have countries like Russia, and quite a few other countries where being trans is literally illegal (as is being gay and other LGBT violations).

Posted on the wrong post?
Yes but separately, not as a qualifier on this. They list a few things as illegal and stripping is separately listed as illegal.
While a strip show would be illegal im not sure things that are simply suggestive of sexuality would be illegal already.
The wording is a bit problematic for its vagueness.
You are correct about it saying "male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient
interest".. however that is **not** the same as saying stripping. But it does imply that it must be of a sexual nature to be prohibited.
I agree with you, the article misrepresented the specific wording of the law.
The article makes absokutely no mention about strip shows... what are you talking about. I can only imagine you are trying desperately to form some false association between drag shows (whicb typically do not have nudity) and stripping. If thats thr case the manipulative and inaccurate equivelance is troubling and suggests bad faith on your part.
@georgetakei Not a huge fan of using this tragedy as a political token.. but yea, they will be missed.

@philip_cardella "The philadelphia bridge"... which one, we have 3.
@icedquinn their directionality is frequency dependent and has front and back lobes so wont isolate thr front from the back even at the correct frequency.
@icedquinn A shotgun mic is not a type of pickup. A shotgun mic can be a condenser or a dynamic.
Sounds like you did everything except getting to know the people of the instance. Try that next.
I see i never answered you here. I arrived in the states 2 weeks ago, prior to that i was not in the states.
Right as stated we do not defederate at the request of our lgbtq community. As has been publicly discussed this decision has saved the lives of members of the community and we have since added several unique features to take that to the next level. Odd you are twisting that around to make it sound like we are ok with hate speech but ok...
Have you seen any problematic posts? Lets stick to the reality and not the what ifs.
Who said I was going to go complain. We may already know the instance, and we can also check if they bothered to actually report, or if they have a history of bad-faith interactions.
