HRT was originally used to treat menopausal women at risk for osteoporosis, who are at higher risk due to being old.

I'm aware that transgenders also have a higher than otherwise expected mortality (whether taking hormones or not), but they may not be numerous enough to move the needle against millions of old women.

If I don't block ads, then I'm stealing from the advertiser who's paying per impression to someone who isn't interested in their crap.

If the ad makes noise, moves around the screen, crashes my browser, or otherwise actively interferes with my ability to obtain the information I was looking for, It'll leave me with such a negative impression that I won't buy anything from that brand, now or ever -- or from the creator who allowed them to break an otherwise good website.

So really, by blocking ads, I'm defending the good reputation of both creators and their sponsors.

Experience with bankruptcy law preferred

I was told it was better for load balancing if we didn't all use the same one. So I just looked for one that had easy signups and didn't seem overeager to block stuff. Apparently, some from this instance come form /r/china. I'm not, but I do drink coffee. Anyway, I think it's working out so far; better than reddit anyway.

Some folding money, a bank card, some loose checks (ragged from wear as I prefer the previous items for most retail transactions), some ID cards, a gift card that I might use, another that I'll probably give away to someone who shops at that store, a local library card, a library card from a place I lived 10 years ago but is probably still valid, a torn piece of paper with some unexplained writing on it (some phone numbers, but I forget whose; I think a pin for a card I don't have anymore; a gate code for a storage locker I no longer use), a blood donor card with blood type (A+), a partially accurate vaccination card, some other things that are either expired, or never mattered.
