Nonsense, Jamison was on the other side of the country helping me move into a new apartment that day. The guy even bought a pizza and a 6 pack for us afterwards. Truly an upstanding gentleman.

Fuck it, UDP all the way. Who cares if the data actually arrives?

The harassment and danger is the point. It’s meant to drive trans people away from public spaces. It’s disgusting.

In my state you get a CCW just by walking into the courthouse, no classes needed, so I’m not sure how it works elsewhere.

I changed my first name, and if I ever get married I’d take my partner’s last name. I’ve considered just changing my last name by myself but I would have no idea what name to pick. Ultimately I carry their name, but I’m not part of their family.

Just in case, if you’re unfamiliar with firearms most community colleges offer firearm safety courses for cheap or free.

Lmao that’s my favorite iteration thus far.

When the jury acquits him? I agree.

You either work your way through life or you leech off of others. Those are the options. There are kids who grew up in war zones, sleeping through air raids and watching those around them die. They still work. There are kids who were in and out of foster care, kids who watched their parents OD, kids who were SA’d every night, kids who slept on the street. Few people have had the ideal childhood you’re describing. Those people still work. They get into therapy. They make something of their life.

Quit making excuses for your laziness. Get a job.

Exactly this. I would be ecstatic if my employer paid for my cert tests. I pay for them myself and study on my own time, then leverage them during annual reviews to show why I deserve promotions and raises.

For context, I went from homeless to six figures because of this kind of hustle. If you want to just tread water then do so, otherwise you need to put in the work on your own time.
