Hirap na hirap ngayon mostly mga Western countries sa pag-evolve ng kanilang mga non-binary gender languages. May mga legislation pa about sa paggamit ng mga tamang pronouns to refer sa mga LGBTQ++ members. Sa kagustuhang makaiwas na gumamit ng he/she they are using "they/them" to refer to a particular person. So if I want to say takot pala si misseks sa multo, instead of saying "She is afraid of ghosts", ang ginagamit nila is "They are afraid of ghosts" kahit naman isang tao lang pinag-uusapan.
Mas advance pa pala tayo mag-isip dahil matagal nang non-binary ang pronouns natin. Siya/sila, kanya/kanila at iyo lang ang katapat. Ayan walang gender mga iyan.![]()
Well, ayun na nga. People had been afraid to speak out kasi parang itong mga trolls lang, kapag may nasabi kang di in line ng kanilang agenda, either racist, bigot or transphobic ka na. Pero there's hope in the horizon that they will come into their senses to bring back a bit of sanity as marami na rin ang nag-voice out ng opposition or contrary opinion especially sa social media. And the good thing is marami na rin ang di natatakot sumuporta sa kanila.
hirap maging conservative in these times na daming liberals and progressive. This cancel culture sucks. Many laughed at Trump but look at whats happening with the Biden administration. The Biden's CDC lead says "pregnant people". Its pregnant women! WTF. Just tip of the iceberg.
Bakit naman bs and D & I? Beneficial siya sa company and workplace as a whole. I feel the only people who will be offended by it are those who will likely violate it. Kaya naiinis sila na meron company culture and policy that mandates them to treat other people better.

Is the olympic gold medal really an 18k gold and how much is it work if you for example take it to the pawnshop.

it's gold-plated silver.
210 grams silver and 6 grams of gold plate.
i do not know what makes it more expensive,
the metals' commercial value when smelted,
or the fact that someone won it in the olympics.
how much would one of spitz's gold medals fetch, if it were sold in the open market?
in pawnstars,
a gold bullion had a considerably higher quoted price than its commercial price for gold content,
because it was literal "sunken treasure", complete with provenance.
ditto for a faberge egg.

i heard it first on the radio that the medals are part recycled materials.
Tokyo Olympics Medals: Composition, Weight, Amount of Gold
Japan produced all 5,000 gold, silver, and bronze medals for the Tokyo games using recycled electronic devices like cell phones donated by people all over the country.
Over a span of two years, the Tokyo 2020 Medal Project collected 78,985 tons of electronic devices — including 6.21 million cell phones — from across Japan. The devices were heated to melt and extract the metal inside, which yielded 70.5 pounds (32 kilograms) of gold, 7,716 pounds (3,500 kg) of silver, and 4,850 pounds (2,200 kg) of bronze.
It takes up to 40 cell phones to salvage one gram of gold, Compound Interest reported.
This is the first time in Olympic history that medals have been entirely made of recycled metal, though 30% of the silver medals from the 2016 Olympics came from recycled silver from car parts and mirrors.
