The arts are vital for a healthy society - their constant marginalization is deeply damaging.

If you have a partner it's the less likely outcome that they'll reject your new gender identity. Gender is a spectrum and we're all a lot more interesting than just what our gender is anyways. Someone who was attracted to you was attracted to a lot more than just your gender expression so, on the whole, rather little about you is changing when you come out as trans.

I am not trans so I can't talk to that realization but I am non-conforming and coming into that identity was mostly a relief. I had to cloak a lot and found myself pretty distinct from a lot of the stereotypes about men - I was married at the time and my partner didn't bat an eye.

A mask ban for protesters would also limit our ability to stop a pandemic spreading. Mask bans are a bad idea (especially with creepy af facial recognition around).

But you do realize you jumped the shark into pure medication shaming right?

ADHD people have enough judgement focused on us that we don't need to start shaming each other for tactics that help us on a day to day.

Just to clarify - the briefly stated "political reasons" you mentioned are being dog-piled by the establishment and having your political career torpedoed.

I have yet to meet a quantity of drugs that brings me all the way down to "normal" levels. It just makes my ADHD slightly more copeable.

I don't even know why the tagginator comment is necessary since it sounds like the system invisibly works how you'd expect it.

I consider it a gift I've never had to set foot in Idaho.

Damn, I'm just imagining your face if Trump wins the election if those people you're trying to remain ignorant of tip the election.

Ignorance is never a virtue.

Biden by a mile - but they're both awful choices and clearly unqualified for the position.

By tradition no serious politicians participated. We didn't have a primary and its disingenuous to say we did.

Whoever wins gets the nuclear football. Neither of these assholes is with it enough consistently to deserve that responsibility.

I tried, the establishment muscled out any real contenders.

Biden needs to be doing a fucking whistle stop tour - these political consultants are a waste of money.

Downvoting partially correct answers discourages participation and we're not reddit.

Although it is a gasket for an optional expansion that wasn't included - it just appears I was wrong about the type of cable.

Possibly? I'm open to having taken this the wrong way but to me it sounded like his statement implied that being a moral person and taking medication were incompatible or at least implied that medication makes you less moral.

We can change horses if there's overwhelming pressure to do it and it's exceptionally well planned.

What we absolutely can't do is nominate someone else against Biden's wishes and still have him on the ballot as an independent... that's how you get folks like Woodrow Wilson.

I, personally, think it's doubtful that much pressure will materialize, but I'm prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

That's more a comment on how die-hard committed the political class is to perpetual war than anything else.

Also, while I don't appreciate Trump being elected... the DNC seems committed to running some of the worst candidates they can find - the fact that there was information that damaging to Clinton that didn't come out in the primaries is the part we should be mad at.

You should take this opportunity to learn some really obscure guitar music to impress those around you... like Wonderwall.
