Yes, but we could be fired for it (as in, the employer openly proclaims that as the reason) without legal repercussion at the national level of law.

In their defense, sometimes that interest is "please stop slaughtering our people to grow your army of undead". In my defense, maybe they need to have more of an open mind about what "alive" truly means.

Please god no 😭

uhhh, these ones in particular seem to be, but that's an exceedingly broad group to throw that label on. Even "Israelis" is extremely broad, though I get that that could just be a shorthand reference to their government and worst actors among their society associated.

I mean, yeah. Normally North Korea is so irrelevant to the discussion, or it would be so absurd to suggest that we're talking about them, that we can just exclude the territorial indicator when it's not relevant. We don't call Kpop "SKpop" because it's exceedingly obvious to everyone involved that Korean culture reaching outside the peninsula is almost exclusively emanating from the south. North Korea has made itself so isolated and irrelevant that we can just forget it exists in regular discussion.

While the US budget is financially in freefall, that could be remedied very easily (with a more competent administration) and won't meaningfully impede its ability to aid Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, can be screwed by extreme expenses.

This is a good question, and unfortunately there's not a consistently good answer. Partly because we're diverse humans all experiencing our transitions and differently, and partly because it can be a touchy subject for some of us and a lot of us have had a lot of bad experiences around being noticed, which combined with not so great political environments can make a lot of us varying degrees of paranoid.

Some people (like myself) have no idea what to do with compliments period, so I wouldn't know what to do with that kind of supportive compliment either. Others might love compliments, but are terrified of being clocked (someone else recognizing we're trans when we're trying not to be noticed as such) in public, either due to personal insecurity, or due to legitimate personal safety concerns. Others know they don't pass as cis, but still don't want it acknowledged. Others would appreciate the gesture. There's just no simple "correct" way to go about it, you just kinda have to sus it out individually.

Most of the time, not saying anything you wouldn't say more or less the same to a cis person is the safest bet, at least until you have any queue from the person in question that they're open to recognition of their trans identity.

I truly don't know for sure, but if I had to guess it's something like "this woman is a guinea pig sent forth by the Israeli government to see what happens when people complicit in genocide reveal the exact nature of the crimes, and to test whether their institutions will protect someone like a whistleblower from international law"

Can the UN even do anything

no

to the United States

gods no

if they have a unilateral security council veto?

the "don't do that" button does, quite effectively, prevent the UN from doing anything, and for some godforsaken reason 5 countries all have one

successfully find a way to argue

they don't need to do that, that's what the "don't do that" button is for

France and the UK are both very likely to see their far right parties win their next major elections, and far right parties are continuing a net rise across Europe. They're struggling badly whenever they do get into power at all, but they're likely to come to power everywhere at least once, and with those monsters you never know which election will be the last.

I don't know wtf this nonsense is even trying to say, but whatever it is it's deeply offense to those of us at lemmy.blahaj.zone

No it's not. "Overturns ban" isn't hard to understand in that sentence. The things that are no longer banned, because the ban was overturned, are called "blockers". If you're not able to figure this sentence out on your own, I would recommend adult reading comprehension courses. Help is available. There's no need to turn to AI for help, that hurts the environment.
