I don’t know much about Aldi, but anything is better than Walmart.

A lot, actually. Tons of money is being poured into raising up popular propagandists because it works. Russia was caught doing it just recently.

I’m sitting at around half that.

Lots and lots of disabled people, even with disability income. The affordable housing wait list in some major cities is several years.

It’s Twitter. I refuse to associate it with a letter of the alphabet so I can be reminded of it every time I have to type a word with that letter in it. That was the goal, wasn’t it? So pretentious.

Instead of posting a screenshot and a link, they posted a broken Instagram embed instead. Come on.

Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the maple syrup.

I’m sat down with a republican family member and she curses the television every time Trump starts one of his ridiculous rants instead of answering a question. It’s like watching a sports fan lament their favorite team losing.

I agree

Makes sense. Thanks.

and yeah psychological evaluation is a standard part of being trans. it’s so difficult to get hrt, let alone any surgeries, without years of appointments and referrals and lab work and psychiatrist appointments.

Of course, but it’s not what conservative politicians say or believe. If it helps for them to write useless laws instead of banning transition outright, then I say shoot.

Google: Why is my SMS messenger sending packets to Google?

I had a trans phase as a teen, but I was eventually able to resolve it internally. I’ve also met a handful of people who regretted their transition. I don’t have a strong opinion because I won’t pretend to know what’s best for trans and questioning people, only that I wish there was a perfect way for everyone to receive timely care while minimizing negative outcomes.

Psychological evaluation is a standard part of ethically determining if even adults should receive certain types of healthcare with potentially permanent effects. I was made to do one before I could get a vasectomy, and it was a straightforward appointment. It might not be such a bad thing if it was regulated as a mandatory precursor to receive gender-affirming care as a minor, in place of total bans. It’s the bare minimum I would be willing to propose with complete certainty.

Maybe if you pulled yourselves up by your bootstraps, we could all live off our investment portfolios and the margaritas would just serve themselves.

I could sure use some of that money to buy the next iPhone. Just imagine what my friends would think if I didn’t.

Alpha mind virus.

A semi-auto rifle ban is also one issue that I believe if we laid off of it, Republicans would be more willing to play ball with common sense gun regulation knowing negotiations weren’t being made in bad faith and with an ultimate goal of opening a pathway to banning semi-auto rifles.

All of what I’ve said is already common knowledge to Republicans, but polls show they are open up to things like universal background checks and mandatory licensing. Just not when they feel like they need to use those things as a buffer to less justifiable regulatory ambitions. The Democratic attempt at voter appeasement with a hardball “all or bust” approach and a low willingness to have regulatory talks without a semi-auto rifle ban on the table has been very counterproductive on a federal level.
