A friend of mine, who, if it's relevant, is of Indian heritage, says that there are whole racial groups that she is not physically attracted to. She says the Japanese and the Chinese (and I suspect she wanted to say Black too, but remembered who she was speaking to).

Is this racist?

Tell me if I'm being unreasonable.

A number of my developers have asked to be assigned a company phone because we occasionally need to connect to customers' databases and need 2FA to do it.

"I don't have an authenticator app," one said.

"Install one," I said.

"I don't want to install anything on my personal phone."

WTF?!

I know I shouldn't ask anyone to use their personal property for work stuff, but how the hell can you work in tech and not have an authenticator app?!

Putting aside politics, with the exception of naturalisation, what do you think is the best way to determine a child's citizenship - country of birth or parents' country?

(Racists these days fight for parents country, but decades ago, colonialists fought for country of birth. Either way, try to ignore all of that.)

If you were President of the world, how would you decide a child's citizenship?
