If you are, it should be due to working for the wrong people. Those that don't understand what's what and only seek profit religiously.

Thanks for the readable code though.

One doesn't need to work in cybersec to know that the vast majority of attacks work because the targeted users have personal dum-dum moments.

Sometimes, when it's too hard to be better and it's easier to be worse, people choose to be worse just to feel different than what they are.

I've been told anxiety is a symptom of low self-esteem. So if -and it's a very big if- one manages to love and respect themselves, the anxiety will disappear on its own.

The idea would be to first work on yourself and get closer to your own expectations of what you should be. And only after that pursue the external avenues of life.

Identifying something is the first step in getting to know it. I helped identify, the rest is up to each person to decide.

The weirdness lies in the differences, such as the ability to bear children, which is pretty much not equal. Breasts can be equalized and so can the inward/outward genitals, size vs agility/dexterity, direction of thought... Yeah, I'm not seeing other unequal differences right now other than the baby thing.

That's fine. People usually don't. To recognize something in some way requires knowledge or experience. And we can neither know everything nor experience it.

Cows should be named Moos. But, what about the actual moose?

Some comments complaining about the house elves status don't see how well it spills into real life.

Society didn't care in the books, society doesn't care in real life. Change was slow in the books, change is slow in real life.
Rowling was accurate as fuck in this regard.

XCOM: Enemy Within. Finished a game over two days because everyone kept missing their attacks, even the planes. Even the enemies.

Gonna do a second wave marathon and then maybe move on to XCOM 2.

Yes, they are indeed.

Estrogen production is supposed to be intricately entwined with pregnancy or so an article somewhere said.
It probably regulates and directs the body towards bringing conception to term. Stuff like mood swings, morning sickness, yearnings, fuller breasts and milk production probably get triggered by having a high enough level of estrogen screwing you from the inside.
I say probably because I don't know it's true.

Yes it is hard. It simply is. Life itself is hard and we only make it harder for ourselves.
But it's not hard-coded in us. It's a habit and habits can change. Only that it takes time and actively trying to.

Whether having high, low or no expectations, everything is allowed. The only rule is that of cats: "If I fits, I sits."
