The films "Kinky boots" comes to mind.

I've had to step back a little from Reddit because of this, I seldom post because I feel there are much better answers coming from other people, I consider the thread a sacred space, but it's clear other people can be reckless and by extension my time and energy is wasted.
Silly of me to think following Elon on twitter would bring out a certain caliber of responses about manufacturing and tech as a whole. The guaranteed disappointment each time has me spending only 3 minutes a day there. Twitter is a bad case for equal access for all, at least for now.
Not true in the EU, we got scammed into making a bank transfer from Germany to Belgium for a bicycle that never arrived. We contacted the police and bank with all the details, and had to pay our bank about 40 euros to ask the scammer if they would refund the money, they said no and that was it. EU banking laws protected them. On the plus side the website appears to be gone now.

How do I present myself as worthy in this landscape?
