You look like you could use a friend, outlander. Perhaps I can be your friend. I'd like you to help me recover some gold.

Short answer to your question in the second paragraph: No.
Diversity by itself means nothing. The only reason to build a society without discrimination based on things that have nothing to do with job performance is to stop keeping track. It should be nobody's business what an employee's race, gender, religion, sexual preference, or any of the other political identities are.
If a business owner decides to forbid employment to black people, nothing you can do will dissuade him. He'll just have to lie better, if you try to track that, and try to blame him for his choice. Sure, the government should be forbidden to discriminate, but the unintended consequences of tracking compliance by private companies with the Civil Rights Act are worse than the problem. We get HR departments that waste company resources doing compliance paperwork. And reverse discrimination, giving less qualified candidates jobs just to fill a quota.

Ain't that the god damn truth... I'm willing to bet very few of you are coming out of this any better than you went in... prove me wrong!
>half-elves
>half-orcs
Where are the half-orc/half-elves, and half-dwarf/half-gnomes? And would a half-human/half-halfling be a Small or Medium creature? What's the child of a half-orc and half-elf?
@freemo Those better not be green peppers I see. 🤢 
Smells like an untrustworthy source.

What would you say makes a good “backup #browser ” — ie, no extensions, add-ons, etc. for those few sites that absolutely refuse to run on the likes of #IceCat even with ALL plugins/etc disabled — but wouldn’t goatse myself towards every passing bit of malware and giant-corp tracking like #firefox and #chrome would? Would #Brave or #Iridium work well enough, or do all chromium-based browsers "phone home" to #google ?
Someone, somewhere, truly believes this!

LOL priceless. Though to be fair it took me about 30 minutes for me to buy my Ar-15 in philly... PA is an amazing state when it comes to gun rights.
To think I already looked up and attempted several solutions to get the play store to update anything. Sigh. I swear my next phone will be a dumbphone or something I can put Linux on so I'm not locked into so much vendor trash (stole this term from MMOs! 
) without the risk of bricking a $1000 piece of hardware by trying to root it.
@ilovecomputers "Why chaotic good sucks" is what my brain first read.
