Factory default, I'm boring but a good selection of my long term boyfriends have been bi (I dgaf), so I don't know what that says about me lol. People sometimes assume I'm gay, but I've never questioned my gender or sexuality. Lots of friends across the rainbow though, luv you all. I have gay and trans family so it isn't something that I've ever seen as "not normal."

Uninstalled (it was bloat)

Ah, so that's why so many Linux users are nonbinary.

I myself am running stock options.

so I actually googled pirating a gender and it lead me to this https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606/

the government is just letting you download a human, for free.

You wouldn't download a human.

Factory Default. It's pretty bloat though.

Data corruption/re-write. Installed a bunch of psychedelic programs I bought on the black market and restructured my OS from the kernel level. Worth it because shutdown/sleep signals were being ignored as well as CPU buffer trashing issues (resulting in system crashes, hangups, etc.). Works a lot better now, but handshakes are difficult because my non-conforming configuration isn't recognized by the majority of the network. Still very much worth it though as I find complete network access isn't exactly necessary.

This could be a case of nodes running outdated software, the current standard protocols can handle any unknown configuration just fine. These are a source of a lot of holes and vulnerabilities that can pose a serious risk, they should be updated as soon as possible. If you have to keep outdated systems in your network e.g. running on legacy hardware, or make the ocasional connection, you'll have to monitor them and isolate them from your critical infrastructure, at least with a good firewall and a strict configuration when possible.

The "Work/Government Issued" one make me laugh because I served in the US military, and a handful of years ago, they approved gender reassignment surgery for trans people.

You're allowed to receive one "cosmetic" surgery for free while serving in the US military, and this counted for that. So you could literally be "issued" a new gender by the government, for free.

Trump became president, and while military people were signing up for gender reassignment surgery, he randomly ordered that trans people weren't allowed in the military and had to be kicked out immediately. So a bunch of people who outed themselves to take advantage of the surgery suddenly were at risk of losing their jobs.

Fortunately, the Department of Defense put a hold on those orders and managed to talk Trump out of kicking people out for being trans. But I guarantee, if he becomes president again, he's not going to be talked out of it again.

Military issued boobs is a hilarious sentence, wonder if they come in camo

Breast augmentation is one of the more common cosmetic surgeries in the military. I actually knew someone who had hers reduced in size because they were too big and interfering with her life. Plus, wearing heavy flak vests with armor plating is painful if you have boobs, and next-to-impossible if they're massive.

I also had another coworker who got implants because she said her flat chest was affecting her mental health, self-image, and confidence. Now she's one of the more confident and outgoing people I know in the military.

The most common surgery, actually, was LASIK/PRK eye surgery. For most of my career, it was considered a cosmetic surgery. The military defined "cosmetic surgery" as any unnecessary surgery a member elected to have done. You didn't need to fix your eyesight, because the military would issue you glasses. So it was cosmetic.

However, in the last handful of years I was in, someone successfully argued that getting your eyes corrected would improve your effectiveness at work, and thus was a benefit to the military, not just the member. Plus, they started allowing people to become pilots if they had the PRK surgery. (You need perfect vision to be a pilot, and eye surgery used to ban you from the job.) So eye surgery is no longer a cosmetic surgery.
