Also that allows google to further track you as you are not leaving their domain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about that a lot - it was pretty sweet. Funny, been listening to Meddle all week. I like Pink Floyd and Meddle is my favorite album of theirs. Would much rather listen to it than Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall, Animals, Final Cut. Wish You Were Here is a close 2nd. Echoes is ****ing fantastic. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 As the parent of a trans girl, I am constantly amazed by the number of things I never think about with which a trans community has to deal. I can hardly believe how expensive and hard to find underwear can be for trans girls. Also on the list of questions I still have, for those people who identify as neither male nor female and chose "they" as their pronoun, is the verb singular or plural. For example is it "they are great" or "they is great?" Maybe it is just the nerd in me who was indoctrinated on grammar, but I have a harder time with the singular or plural mismatch than the gender dis/agreement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article had the same phrasing but I’m not sure what it means… She was born as a male but has identified as female for as long she could identify sexes. At age three she wanted to remove the penis to be a girl... Now age 7, and nothing has changed on that front save for now she wants the female pronouns applied to her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Yeah, speaking only for myself, I can't imagine actually retiring in my 30s. Leaving behind having to report to work on somebody else's schedule? Sure. Doing nothing productive at all for the balance of my life? I can't see how that would be even the least bit fulfilling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
