Do you need a referral to a fertility clinic where you can freeze it?

Let’s imagine this decision is upheld by the SC. Would state-level discrimination protections still apply, in states that have them?

Oh, absolutely. As my instructor put it, if you cause an arc flash and are killed instantly, you got off lucky. Because if you survive, your body will be severely damaged for the rest of your life.

Those trainings put the fear into you for good reason. I don’t fuck with high voltage at all, shit is way too scary for me.

Everyone should listen to the series that Molly Conger did on her podcast Weird Little Guys about the myth of genocide against white South Africans. It’s really well done, and I learned a lot that I never knew about apartheid.

And that arc flash’s temperature is several times hotter than the surface of the sun. It’s hot enough to instantly vaporize any surrounding metal, meaning that if you manage to survive being near an arc flash, there’s a chance that you’ll end up with tiny metal shards in your lungs, when they cool down after you breathe them in. Arc flashes are scary stuff.

And so energy inefficient.

Exactly. It’s an energy conservation measure

Very confused about how I went from being a cishet conservative Catholic guy to an atheist bisexual trans woman. So, probably not stoked about that.

Aside from that, probably pretty happy! I’ve got a good job and a kickass wife. I have a dog and friends and a little garden. Those were all things I wanted in my future even when I was 15, and here we are!

Just gonna drop this here, no reason:

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

They say they’re disbanding because they feel that the issue is now solvable via domestic politics. That seems like a good thing to me

Yeah, I didn’t particularly like that doctor. After I had a bad bout of depression, she started treating me like I was an addict drug-seeking, even though I used my meds at work and never used cannabis at work because, you know, rules and stuff.

I have a hard time believing that she was that critical of prescribing to people who use alcohol on a regular basis.
