I received an email today from a client that included their preferred pronouns. Apparently it's a company-wide initiative for them.
I'm thankful for this. Not from a gender identity perspective, but from the perspective of someone who will ALWAYS guess the wrong gender for a name from another country that I've never heard before, even if I google it first. :lol:
Company is based in Oklahoma City. Did I just blow everyone's minds?
You are using the incorrect pronouns to refer to our diverse group. Please present to your nearestCompany: Helps avoid socially awkward situations.
Half of FG: "Fuck Kommiefornia!"
Kneejerk much, guys?

The laws, high taxes, and other idiocy.Having traveled to California often with work, there’s nowhere else id want to go repeatedly. Low humidity, decent weather, good scenery, what’s not to like?

The literal feces, urine and used needles carpeting the streets?
Mmmm no? And I’ve been to a Chula Vista.
San Francisco's streets are so filthy that at least one infectious disease expert has compared the city to some of the dirtiest slums in the world.
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit surveyed 153 blocks of the city in February, finding giant mounds of trash and food on the majority of streets. At least 100 discarded needles and more than 300 piles of human feces were also found in downtown San Francisco, according to the report.
San Francisco's new mayor, London Breed, had proposed adding nearly $13 million to the city's $65 million street cleaning budget over the next two years, according to NBC Bay Area.
Ok, the internet stories win and real life experiences are untrue.
Dude, I’ve been there and have walked the streets multiple times. It’s not every street and honestly would take some doing to find it.
I went last November for a conference, and was looking forward to revisiting my (no longer) favourite American city... and it is everything that he says. I had to sidestep human excrement frequently. A woman out of her gourd on crystal meth was nearly passed out riding the elevator with me. Another woman was sitting not on the curb, but on the base of a tree planter, with her pants around her ankles and her bare ass on the concrete.Dude, I’ve been there and have walked the streets multiple times.

Anecdotal? Yes, but this is becoming the norm for San Francisco.

Keep in mind, I used to live in downtown Vancouver and would walk through the infamous DTES (downtown east side) on a regular basis. I've long since been desensitized to seeing drug use and homelessness. SF's problem is proliferating.
I’m not denying it. I’m just trying to share my expierence and that it’s not like you’re walking around in a lake of poo from your hotel.
