Alphabet, the parent company of Google, reported a 298% rise in net income to $112.1bn for the second quarter of 2026 (Q2 2026), compared to $28.2bn in the same period the previous year.

Barely a drop in the bucket. Just the price of doing business.

    You define yourself through your actions, not by what you say you are.

    I'd argue you define yourself through both.

    It's not a sign of disrespect if someone doesn't use your preferred pronouns

    If you purposefully don't use their preferred pronouns it is. In much the same way it's a sign of disrespect to call someone a piece of trash to their face.

    it's that they're more concerned with you being a good neighbor

    You're being the bad "neighbor" by purposefully using the wrong pronouns, but also, what?
