Mostly agree but the Confederate states were more heavily invested in cash crops making slavery a purely economic issue not a good supply issue
Baba is you, great little puzzle game
Books without Dinosaurs are communist propaganda and should be removed from shelves! Also Dinosaurs are Satanic propaganda and books featuring them should be removed from shelves! /S
Well shit, guess Harris is only real option at this point. I hate this countries electoral system
Wait, are you trying to tell me the moon landing was real? It was clearly filmed in Siberia why else would the ground look so white, it's the Siberian snow obviously.
Become a trapdoor spider, and leave a basket of Bed Bath and Beyond gift cards outside your door as bait?
Step two say ????? No idea what really. Maybe cross your fingers you have a shared interest and the whole kidnapping thing isn't a big deal.
Step three be in a relationship, and probably learn to leave room more often.
Not always, I'll often forget to shower until I look in the mirror and realize my hair needs to be washed. Peak pandemic I'd sometimes go a few weeks without showering until I could smell myself. Just not something that's on my mind most of the time.
I'd guess they did, but I have no way to prove it. Let's build some and find out.
I'm the main character, obviously, why else would the sun revolve around the earth? Purely to honor me the main character, reincarnated in this dying world to save it from the demon lord known as See Oh Too, and its generals Shell, BP, and Chevron. /S
Huh, cool hadn't realized Mordor was originally a Batman game
I probably would have bought Bionicles, still sad they got discontinued

The only rationale I've seen consistently is that it's expensive to care for trans people.
I was in and diagnosed with gender dysphoria within about a week of Trump's initial tweet saying he was banning trans people. For about 2 months there it was a bit up in the air whether or not I'd get discharged or not. Ultimately was grandfathered in.
It's not an issue of hormones being available in the field, you can be deployed with a years supply no problem. That said the way the policy worked is you can't start HRT while deployed. (Presumably because of the increased burden of regular blood draws earlier on) If you were seeking to transition you needed the approval of your commanding officer, and that could be denied only if you were deployable and hadn't deployed yet.
There was also the option in there for your CO to basically grant you a year to go to college or something while transitioning to generally make integration smoother, so you wouldn't be stuck dealing with second puberty and regular military service at the same time. Though I have no idea if anyone actually got that. I know at least on person who didn't, or didn't take it anyway.
There's a bunch more nuance, rules, and tricky ways people got fucked over by their commands myself included. But at the end of the day, it really caused basically no problems overall while it was an option. And frankly if you can drag a CPAP machine on deployment trans people are less of a logistical nightmare and shouldn't make the top 10 of medical issues that actually might warrant discharge.
