It’s a game for kids who say they want to be lawyers when they are in grade school without knowing what lawyers do, lots of combining semi-ambiguous rules on cards to do really wacky game breaking things.

I’m ok with him being a dumb squish when they are deathly afraid of naming anything a new issue that changes the building wave, but not another single Trump judge once/if the senate flips (assuming the big PA oaf isnt the deciding vote)

Putting a link to the support group (a LGBTQ+ affirming group arising out of PFLAG back in the day) if useful to send along to anyone in this world: ourpath.org/resources-fo...

their transition might change the feelings a cic/het partner has for them and see that as deeply personal rejection and not acknowledgment their self-realization practically changes the way their partner feels. Strongly recommend therapy and peer support for both sides.

self-discovery they can’t find space in the moment to deal with the complexities there partner is facing with the change (often understandably, coming out later in life as trans often has a lot of complexities) and there are a lot of partners who genuinely can’t in that moment understand why

The support group I’m part of has a fair amount of cis/het partners of trans women, there re definitely some amicable divorces that preserve friendships and are filled with mutual empathy and support, but a lot of trans partners either are so in the thick of untangling their own complex

Yeah, this seems the like the 1-2 punch, first year is tons of investigations, some of which bear fruit and a lot of which get stone walled, second year is a really good ethic reform package bill with lots of stuff grounded to specific investigations and, if vetoed, is the case for the elections

Waterproof headphones help too for long sets. I used to love to turn off my brain and listen to music on long runs, but am getting to the point my joints don’t love that wear and tear, so swimming is a pretty awesome replacement (less scenery, more feeling like you are flying)

Buying up and consolidating bankrupt railroads running on built out infrastructure was a good business though, the debt on these data centers will get junked but I do wonder if their is sustainable cost model businesses out the bubble pop using existing tech and build-out.

Those are the attorneys you make a big deal about something pointless with, like fighting for reasonable best efforts instead of commercially reasonable efforts, and make a show of giving it up after they tap in front of the client so they feel like big timers.

I don’t trust the mainstream media, but I feel like the primary alternate model, getting the news from the posts of a 14 year-old Romanian schizophrenic shitposter named “G00n3R the Swamp Pervert,” is not necessarily a superior alternative.

Heathcliff approaches the meat store in a brown blimp that says BEEF CIDER in big yellow letters along its side. Two employees watch him, and one says "I love this time of year."

I guess to be fair, if you asked me what famous person would be most easily seduced by a Narcissus machine, he’d be pretty close to the top if that list.

The rancid quality of staff & operative talent that has come into the GOP after a decade of Trump as the figurehead can’t be understated. Today’s chud groyper staffers are tomorrow’s chiefs of staff and campaign managers and these are folks who only know talking to weird MAGA social media

A college baseball/football player (Eric Schmidt- Truman State) probably doesn’t make that mistake in his own, so I’ll bet he relied on his dweeby young republican staff who just made him look like a giant idiot. GOP hasn’t really reconciled on the long term effect of weirdo groyper and dork staffs
