People are already suffering and dying because of him, let's not make it any easier for him to take lives.

Don't let the world harden you, and do your best to maintain quality relationships. I have multiple family members who have only gotten more liberal as they've gotten older, and have been some of the most accepting of me when I came out as trans, even though they're in their late 80s and living in rural Texas. Meanwhile, my stepdad was already a bigoted and cantankerous fuck by the time he was 45, living in a fairly liberal area.

Age has nothing to do with it. Allowing yourself to become isolated from others and feeling the world is out to get you seems to be what happens to most people. The speedrun tactic I see for this is retiring and spending 16 hours a day at home with Fox News on the TV.

I had the amplifier for my bass shaker die from one, unfortunately. The company was super nice and sent me a refurbished one out of warranty though.

AGM are absolutely awful compared to even the absolute worst lithium batteries, and won't last long at all if regularly cycled below even 50% SoC. LFP chemistries are a bit worse for energy density compared to NCA/NCM chemistries, but they don't contain any nickel or cobalt, and won't autoignite in the same way other chemistries will. Absolutely ridiculous they're suggesting lead batteries over better lithium options.

Actually, they sacrificed us for an even faster genocide of Gaza. So now everyone loses!

And Japan, and Canada, and Mexico, and the majority of South America, and a handful of countries in Africa and the Middle East.

Trump was a laughing stock literally up until the night of the election in 2016. Don't ever think that "Being taken seriously" is a prerequisite for seizing control.

I've always subscribed to the theory that the vast majority of D-Class that are "disposed of" are actually just given strong amnestics and thrown back into rotation.

Did they actually go through with it? I remember them attempting it, but then immediately backing down and issuing a very reasonable response letter basically saying they were clearly in the wrong and allowed the union to form. I could totally be unaware of any more recent developments though.

Getting rid of Title IX protections is going to make surviving pretty fucking hard if you wind up with a bigoted manager who decides to fire you... Or just companies decide they don't want to hire trans people at all.
