This. Exactly this.

I am not trans, but I will say that I think you should move to a more accepting area first. We would be thrilled to welcome you as whichever gender identity you’d like to be here in the Bay Area.

Best of luck internet friend.

I’m almost there.

I also live in the Bay Area. My rent is locally cheap but nationally very high. My wife has a chronic illness and an unrelated acute issue that recently required surgery. She can barely work. Until this most recent surgery I was keeping ahead, but expenses are up and income is down and that’s not true anymore.

I have good health insurance but there’s a lot more to medical costs than just doctors, and to partially manage her daily quality of life it’s not weird to cook her three different dinners and she can only stomach one. This explodes our meal budget.

We’re childfree but one of our dogs recently also got diagnosed with chronic illness. They are our kids, full stop.

Shit happens. Don’t be a dick about it.

Wrong. It’s “democrats advanced in fits and starts, sometimes stumbling and falling, but heading in the direction of the finish line. I keep voting for them because the other guys are trying to set off a dirty bomb on the race track.”

Exactly. We’re a minority but it’s still like 15%-20% of the overall problem that’s addressable.

given the source of the energy most EVs use :/

What? This is hilariously wrong.

A profoundly filthy coal power plant has multimillion dollar filtration the size of your damn apartment. That gross coal is scrubbed more than the gasoline from any vehicle possibly could be.

In a first world country it’s not possible to have an electric car as dirty per joule as a gas vehicle.

Further, the powertrain is direct and therefore dramatically more efficient, so on a distance basis you get an additional multiplier. That’s where the EPA MPGe comes from - total energy content of 1 gallon of gasoline, converted to range on the electric vehicle.

That’s about 33 kWh in one gallon, which is about half the total storage capacity of my Bolt EUV 2023 (65 kWh) which has about 240mi of range on a full charge, which is why the MPGe is ~120mi/gal, which for an equally polluting power source as a personal gas vehicle, is 5-6x cleaner. Public DC fast chargers are frequently exclusively renewably powered.

It’s impressive because literally every possible angle of your statement is hilariously incorrect.

They’re all sourced to the same “study” by a climate denialists outfit.

I’m all about MonoLisa, but I’ll give this a look

Ten,

Unless they poisoned the Nazi’s food and are just waiting to see the waterworks.

Then 1

Palestine can be anywhere. It doesn’t have to be on top of the Byzantine Empire territory. The land clearly belongs to Italy.

People say this all the time, but I search prolifically and have literally never had to do this to get a relevant result top 4.

What are you guys doing, using full sentences with puffery like you’re talking to the Enterprise or something?

Which?

Helps if you grew up with a low but consistent daily dose of lead.

Spoiler alert, everything involves politics, and if you don’t get that, then you’re just getting screwed over by those that do.

Arguable. The stories have him talk about the right price and your rights with slaves, and as commonly understood “not one jot or tittle” would directly conflict with “let he who…”, unless the second is an edict (“hey, you, sinless one, go chuck a rock at them and bludgeon then go death”).

Where the bible isn’t monstrous, it’s at best inconsistent.

Definitely betting one life vs. maybe betting several. It’s a version of the trolley problem. There isn’t a right answer, unfortunately - though I personally would move the kid to professional full time psychiatric care in a “hope for the best, plan for the worst” sort of thing. Especially since I don’t think kids are inherently more valuable than adults.

I rolled my own Infinity for Reddit after the Great API block. It’s so inferior to Sync.

Easily

There’s only crashalytics on sync. No tracking.

Same UI! I love it
