The nuance seems to be that he made stupid partisan statements not because he is a partisan but because he is stupid. He profoundly misunderstands Trump and Republicans if he genuinely believes that nonsense. Its hard to trust someone with such terrible judgement, and its hard to trust Proton because they handled the situation so poorly.
If I am being paid to do a job all I really care about while I’m working is doing the job. I might judge people for their failings and look down on them for being shitty, but I really don’t care because I’m just there to do the job I’m being paid to do. I might feel bad if people are talking shit and spreading rumors about me or whatever, but I don’t give a shit because I’m at work to work. If people are slacking off and not working when they should be, that is an issue for management to deal with. If people are spreading rumors and creating disruptions with gossip and drama, that is an issue for management to deal with. I care about doing the job I am paid to do, anything else going on at work is not my problem. I don’t think I’m actually that thick skinned or anything really, I’m just maintaining basic professionalism in what is supposed to be a professional environment.
To me it sounds like you have shitty management and shitty coworkers. You can try to be a catalyst for change in a more positive direction if you want but it might be better for you to find a more professional workplace. Also, I do think if dumb drama and gossip at work bothers you this much finding a job with fewer coworkers or a more independent role would probably be a better fit for you.
I would guess there’s others at work who feel like you do about the alphas and the power structure. Perhaps gathering allies would be a helpful first step. Since the alphas keep things running and management obviously values them you should tread carefully.l though. If you can get viewed by management as someone who gets things done and knows what’s up they might be more open to changes you suggest, especially if you have a bunch of unhappy coworkers supporting those changes.
I was looking into Fairphone and got sketched out, they do not really seem particularly trustworthy or competent.

I try to only ever talk about work at work. I’m friendly and helpful to everyone but I am completely boring, if we aren’t talking about a work topic I keep it vague and uninteresting. No one wants to hear about how you spent the weekend doing laundry or yard work so they stop asking.
Leaving my wet towel somewhere it doesnt belong after a shower. I am a lot better than I used to be but I still forget it regularly.
Its a regional thing, in some parts of the US it is very common.
Yes, I am a feminist because I believe everyone has equal rights under the law regardless of their gender.
It sounds more like a crazy person did a crazy thing and happened to use AI.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the bouncers are all off duty cops too, or hired from security companies owned by cops. That seems to be a very common arrangement when a business wants to ensure the local department remains friendly.
No. I had to wait until I was 25 before they would let me. I’m quite a bit older now and have never even slightly regretted it.
It is potentially possible to reverse. Although its an expensive surgery with low chances of success to get it reversed. I think its also possible to directly extract sperm for artificial insemination but I’m not aware of that method being commercialized.
I generally assume what I’m buying will cost 10% to 20% more from taxes and/or tips getting added at checkout. I agree it doesnt make sense and seems underhanded, they could post the actual prices if they wanted to.
Possibly bupropion might be what you want. Its a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Not sure about Australia but in the US it is approved for treating depression and nicotine addiction but has found off label use as an ADD treatment.

Did you taper off the Lexapro? If not that could explain some of what you are feeling now.
I gave up on it because sneaking around and getting caught so easily got boring fast and wasn’t particularly fun. Everything else about the game seemed fine but the sneaking mechanic was designed poorly.
Not an expert but I’ve dealt with a few sofas over the years. I think your best bet is trying to replace either the broken leg or all of the legs. Removing the legs and resting it on something can work but you risk it sliding around. Sofa construction tends to be straightforward, the frames are mostly just a big rectangle made from wood, if its not wiggling around you are probably fine.
You don’t get a good credit score by having debt, there is more to it than that and it is misleading to to state things that way. There are a variety of factors used for credit scores and they are weighed differently depending on what company is doing the credit score. If you want a good credit score then having access to lots of credit you aren’t using while paying off debts on time regularly will get you a good credit score. Telling people they can get good credit by taking on debt is bad advice that is more likely to lead them down the road towards bad credit.
He also now owns a company which makes megayachts.
