Have you ever wondered how green wind energy really is, especially when you see those vast piles of wind turbine blades dumped in landfills?

My state of Texas is (bizarrely) leading the nation in wind power and I honestly have not seen any complaints about turbine blade waste.

But if you're using he/him for strangers just because they're "clearly a cis man"

Right, but OP was saying they're using They/Them in cases of ambiguity and getting called out for it

But using the explicitly wrong pronouns would also seem to be hurtful.

And shy of asking everyone their pronouns - which often feels invasive - a generic pronoun seems the most polite option until it's clear one way or another.

I mean, he's still very much a Guy Who Wants To Be Like His Dad and a Guy Who Feels Inferior Because He Doesn't Have Wizard Powers.

The sexism was played up for comic relief, as he struggled to compete with his sister and to contribute to the team. But the core of the arc was always a person who felt inferior to his friends and struggled to be seen as an equal.

Normal people aren't the real audience. This is just rich asshole-to-rich asshole communication, entirely off in a walled garden somewhere that's been relabeled "Galt's Gulch" as a joke.

Knowing how these con-artists operate, I suspect this chip doesn't do anything meaningful and the goal is to make "We put some metal in this guy's brain" headlines without explaining any actual benefit to the augmentation. Maybe he'll solve a rubix cube on camera or rattle off a bunch of prime numbers he memorized, and pretend the chip is doing the leg work. But this is almost certainly a cosmetic that's intended to market the idea of safe industrial scale brain surgery.

It's so easy to forget how ace everyone was before they hit puberty and how easily influenced we all were by family, friends, and media.

Honestly, maybe this but unironically?

Its ok because we'll replace them with AI.
