What is this magical "high-end" database that operates without the use of any "files"? Certainly not Oracle or Sybase. Sure, they have "data partitions", but the database executables are distributed and stored in files. And what is the magical file-less operating system that they run on? Ooooh we're in "files are extinct land". Where nothing needs files.

The teacher felt strongly that the student's gender was biological and not something the student could arbitrarily choose to change. The teacher felt that using a pronoun other than a biologically consistent one was "lying", and it was against the teacher's religion to lie, so the teacher would not use the student's chosen pronoun. Did I miss something?

My point, albeit made sarcastically, is maybe some people just like to walk slowly. I was taught as a young man that walking slowly is a sign of wisdom and confidence. It means you know where you are going, you left on time, and you're not in a hurry.
