So, they were psychopaths who realised they could go unnoticed even more easily if they just took up the religion?

Those space construction startups know what they’re doing. They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.

Guess I should have gone CHA instead of INT.
I might have gotten some of that billionaire money to buy more RAM.

That blue dot is like quantum fluctuations.
Except that quantum fluctuations only have enough of a chance to get bigger when in a void.

I started that mainly because it felt weird that a comment I wrote, had a blue up, when I didn't do it.
Now I consider upvoting something as a way to emphasise the post/comment and not upvoting all my comments makes me show a point when I do upvote something that I wrote.
It is really just for myself though, as a single upvote doesn't really matter and others are not really seeing if I am the one that has upvoted it. You can call it a compulsion, I suppose.

Trans people are like witches that hand out curses that cause harm? I think your skepticism alarm should be going off.

When I said that - some person told me that they actually work - I didn't mean to say that I believed that part.

Although I understand that I didn't mention that multiple times in capital words (because I didn't feel the need to), just because some of the poor trans people banded with some poor eunuchs to make a cult, of which I have a bad impression, that doesn't mean, I have said impression for trans people all over the world.
I was mostly just giving a list of past events, and they most definitely don't tell my current thoughts, which I feel, the last 2 paragraphs should have explained well enough.

I have once even gone pretty far into explaining how important I consider, not to have prejudice, which even got quite a bit of backlash and a ban from a community. So I am not going to put the effort into reiterating it over here.

But of course, anyone may feel free to label me as anti-trans or whatever anyone may feel like and I may feel free to consider them an unreasonable person.

Yeah, but on my instance, anything you post automatically has a +1 from yourself, which you must have removed.

I didn't downvote my post, I just un-upvoted it. It is possible to downvote it and that would give me a -1 from myself.

Did you downvote your own post?! The scores are +0-1 when I’m seeing it (and the-1 isn’t me).

Considering there was a 17 hours gap, it's quite possible that someone had the time to read and downvote it before you saw it.
And I get it, there are quite a few people who don't like people that don't perform fake values.

One of the depictions of unreasonable trans people was a video that came up in the beginning of the this trend of trans people coming out + a lot of people getting medical treatments related to their gender identity.
It was some tall, brown coloured, athletically muscular "man" (because he looked mostly like a man, apart from the lipstick, which might as well have been just a man wearing lipstick, to those around him) loudly complaining about something in a restaurant, while the staff tried to de-escalate. One of the staff members then calls him (her?) "Sir", to which (s)he then became melodramatic. Although the chap didn't end up telling others what (s)he wanted to be called, until the very end of the video.

Now, it might have been someone with a genuine problem, that was just not captured in the video, but could also have been someone just trying to gather hatred towards a community that hadn't even been formed yet.

But of course, I have had a depiction of trans(-ish?) people long before the trend started on the US internet. It is of groups of people (called "ladyboys" by English reporters, but there has been a colloquial term) who are often hermaphrodites, but could also be eunuchs.
The story about them I was told as a child, was that they come in groups during marriages, asking for exorbitant (but somewhat payable) amounts of money and 'make a scene' if not paid. The scene they make would be stuff like public nudity, with obscene looking displays, or going around cursing people (which some person told me that they actually work).

To me, that looked like just some begging+harassment ring. Add to that, an anecdote of one my relatives having been casually molested in public as a child by them, made me think pretty lowly of them.

Those groups seem to have died down now (I think?), which maybe partially because the Government officially recognised the third gender (quite a while ago actually, since I see it in govt. forms) and apart from them getting access to education (the Govt. funded kind, meant for poor people, because if one is rich, being in a minority is just a minor inconvenience as far as "means" go), also getting some reservation quota for certain menial jobs, if they were to not find work normally.

And then there was the depiction of a hermaphrodite in the pretty popular cartoon (anime) "Kochikame", which made me think that Japan had been ahead in this kind of thing, as the depicted person was normally working as an officer.

You usually won't find it hard to avoid offending people with reasonable expectations. Just don’t be a dick, be respectful instead.

But there can be unreasonable in all groups. You just haven't met an unreasonable trans person yet.
Although I haven't either and the depictions I know of might just have been another one of those social stunts, there most probably are a few out there.

One particularly annoying thing in the SCP-verse that ends up breaking immersion.

That part, I already understand.
But you needed to have some sort of excuse for such things back when smartphones were new.

I think the compartmentalisation concepts were there from the feature-phone era.

Don't they also have some NFC payment stuff there too?
Though that's probably connected to the debit/credit card and not really a separate interface.

If you have a smartphone, you get to use UPI (United Payments Interface).
If you don't, you are basically limited to a certain amount of free withdrawal per month, which is set to prevent getting an outcry from BPL (below poverty line) people, which would otherwise be bad for elections.

I was considering pushing for open source UPI apps for Linux devices (and providing my services for development), to reduce India's reliance on Google and Android but considering recent events, I believe that is not really going to align with the Government's plans.

This doesn't make sense to me.
Why do they even need it to be that way?

Compartmentalisations was one of the basic points in system design methodology that I thought (because I read it somewhere) smartphones would also be built upon. So why compromise the whole thing to a supply chain attack?
