Thank you. It gets so tiring seeing these people constantly shouting "WhY ARen't YOu FIGhtinG bAck?" Whenever someone expresses fear about what's been happening. Oh I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a little preoccupied wondering how my family and I are going to fucking survive the next four years in the first place.

My wife's disabled, we've got multiple autistic kids, my health isn't the greatest, I'm trans but luckily I can still play cis. We can only afford to live because my wife gets Social Security Disability, and we have Medicaid and SNAP. All things they're certainly going to be targeting. Yeah we'll likely be shielded from some of the worst of this living in a blue state but I'm not sure how much even that's going to protect us anymore.

Not me taking my morning adderall dose on a chill day so I can get my brain to shut up and let me go back to bed.

I love the idea that Frieren would be a fan of the Doom Slayer.

In group and out group baybee!

"Surely they don't mean me, I'm one of the good ones." The magic words that let people that are part of any group they screech about vote for him. No honey, they mean you too.

One of the worst aspects of this for me is how brutal the means testing is for many assistance programs. They often turn eligibility into a sheer cliff face where the second you make even a dollar more than the cutoff you lose the whole benefit. But even if they don't and there's a more gradual reduction you're often on multiple assistance programs if you're poor and the reduction to all of them often puts you in a worse place than you stated in.

My partner is fully disabled, she's got neurological issues where she'll be pretty much fine one minute but with maybe like an hour at most of warning she could be fully incapacitated from a migraine brought on by pseudotumor. Not even because of the pain, she starts having trouble walking, standing up straight, remembering what she was doing. Sometimes she temporarily loses access to years of her life like the Cosmic Dungeon Master said "Roll 2d20, that's how old you think you are for the next 2d4 hours"

So obviously that makes having me work right now basically impossible. Very few jobs are cool with your availability being subject to that kind of rapid change. So I stay home to take care of her and our kids. But back when her symptoms weren't so severe and I could work I had to be very careful what kind of jobs I found because depending on how much I made we actually ended up losing more in assistance than what I made that caused us to go over.

Fantastic example, our oldest just got approved for SSI because they relaxed some of the asset/income restrictions and now my wife's disability benefit isn't too much money for him to qualify. We get Section 8 so our portion of rent is based on our income so our rent went up when he got SSI. Our SNAP amount also went down because our income went up. He got approved for like 200 something in SSI and between the rent going up and SNAP going down at the end of the day we get like $10 dollars more a month than we did prior to him getting it. This shit happens everywhere with these kinds of programs and is one of the many reasons people get trapped in poverty.

He/They because I'll never be Him.

Why do I get the feeling they're hoping the gun will go off and then they can get their ~~bottom surgery~~reconstruction covered?

Asexual with kids here. My partner had a son already when she and I met. A few years later we decided to try for another and ended up having twins.

I might be a bad example though because I'm kind of just indifferent to sex. I don't particularly dislike it. Though I gotta say the process of trying really pushed that to the limit.

111.2. The player who creates a token is its owner. The token enters the battlefield under that player’s control.

I can't think of a single instance where a token gets created under another player's control that doesn't directly instruct that player to create the token.

Iirc years ago the owner and controller could be different. The controller would be the player under whose control it entered and the owner would be whoever controlled the effect that created the token. I don't remember when they changed that but I do remember that being how it used to work.

Unfortunately the way it's worded they can just keep sacrificing the first Waste token they get. You'd either wanna specify nontoken or make it like "choose a land that player controls"

Not very Burnin' Sherman as it is currently writen.

If I had to guess I'd say either sensory issues with drinking alcohol itself, or the fact that drinking is another one of those social things that many only do because "it's what people do"

In my case it's a sensory thing but I also apparently have that gene that that makes you really sensitive to bitter. So even the fruitiest "you can't even taste the alcohol" drink tastes to me like paint thinner smells.
