Texas can’t even keep its own electric grid up because of their isolationist attitude. I’d honestly love to see how it would go if all the tax and federal aid were to suddenly dry up. That’s not even getting into having a passport to leave the state, tariff on imports, taxes on exports, then getting retaxed to come into the United States.

I wonder how firearms legislation would wind up.

Texas also most likely would be unable to produce its own ammunition and would have one fuck of a time establishing trade routes that would be forced to go through the Gulf of Mexico, an easy target with only one way out between two corridors. Given that the whole thing was over Mexico border enforcement, something tells me land trade wouldn’t be very reliable if it were feasible.

the bill in question

I’m not a lawyer, but it is hard to tell from reading that if it means if you mark off one of the numbers it applies, or if you have to have 2 of 3 or what, but since it’s so vague, and most of the laws I’ve seen in that format if one point applies it all applies, I cannot in good faith argue that it won’t be used to target Hispanic people.

My ultimate comfort show is Star Trek: the Next Generation. If it's just me in the house and nothing good in my video queue that's what I'll turn on for noise.

Thank you for looking out 🙏

I’m a huge advocate for training, and while currently Florida doesn’t require it, I have been through training in the past.

I picked up some cheaper range ammo in bulk to start getting in more regular time at a range in my area, as well as some self defense round for training and to maintain carry levels.

I think I have everything well handled, but if you have anything else to add, I’m appreciative, and you never know when someone else might need the info.

Thank you for advocating responsible ccw 💕

I heard rumors that the Indian government switched to some specific Unix like that has accounted for a lot of that, but I have zero experience on the matter aside from someone saying that could be it.

My SO’s mom is dying of Glioblastoma.

She wanted to go to Easter sunrise service at SeaWorld Orlando this year, and it isn’t in my nature to deny a dying person their religious comfort so I took her.

The whole sermon was an excerpt from one of the early church letters where the writer was telling Christians to worry amongst themselves, and stop trying to enforce their doctrine through the courts, settle it themselves like actual Christians and by the way maybe stop fucking your mom and molesting young boys. They turned the whole sermon into “you can’t receive gods grace if you are queer trans or anything like that” for an hour.

I don’t understand how you take a ritual service about rebirth and forgiveness and twist it and pervert it to be used to wag your finger at people who aren’t likely even a part of your church in the first place which is what the fucking letter you’re reading from was saying in the first damn place.

Also interesting note, they were surprisingly quiet about the fucking your own mother thing.

Things are going exceedingly well for me.

I’m doing something I love, have all my needs met, and am loving the mental changes I’m seeing and experiencing, physical changes are just a nice bonus on top (though nipple pain is being a bitch).

Got a few incognito sports bras to help, and was really enjoying wearing one of those and some sweats around the house last night. Looked at myself laying down and felt really good about myself.

Told my SO how I was feeling about it and she made a good natured joke about it being like a “thunder jacket”.

I hope things are going well for you too, dearie💕

This book was her parenting guide while I was growing up and she should honestly consider it a small miracle I had the space to forgive her and be open to have a relationship with her in the first place.

Thank you love, I’m okay right now. Not the first time I’ve fully cut contact, and probably won’t be the last if we’re being honest. Still have everyone else to go 😀

Of course they are. The person in the Amazon van most of the time is a subcontractor of Amazon DSP, which sub contracts to Amazon LLC. The cleaning people are a separate company too. It’s contractors all the way down, people!

It’s intentional. You don’t have to mingle with the undesirables who clean dirty toilets at the Christmas luncheon if they don’t work for you, and they won’t bring down your numbers either.

All of Amazon is just shuffling numbers from here to there to make the robots happy so you can keep your job for just a little while longer as the churn and burn through the human population with selectively enforced unrealistic work demands like packing 280 individual items per hour with less than a certain percentage of kick outs. Then when you aren’t good at a specific task they write you up and lock you into it until they can terminate you for performance issues.

The rumors are true, if you exit vim you exit real life…

I’d say you pass. Looks like a first day off work PJ Day to me.
