Vitalsign

That was him. Did he ever make it over here or faded away on IGN?

They've destroyed the MTG brand. I've played it since The Dark and owned a hobby gaming store from 2008-2012. There was a resurgence around that time with Lorwyn and Morningtide and the sets following it, but the last few years they've printed the game to exhaustion. They tried to stay relevant by inserting questionable cultural content into the game, but games like Pokemon are riding the wave of nostalgia far better.

It was so much fun. Everyday was a blast. I drove to Atlanta recently and I was trying to remember the dude's name who lived in Macon. He had a beard, married, sorta conservative.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I started posted on IGN in 2000 and spent most of my days from 2000-2007 posting there. I was a young adult then and am now rapidly approaching 50. It went fast.

My warranty is up on my Model 3 end of next year. I'm interested in testing a Hyundai Ioniq 5. The Tesla has held so much value though, I'm hesitant in other brands for the near future. Will be interesting to see how non Tesla EVs depreciate.

That's fair

We'll have to see. She's VERY influenced by others, like we all were at that age. Her identity shifts based on who she had a crush on. She says she's bi and she told me she thought girls would have liked her more as a boy. I think some states allow abortions without consent with court approval in extreme situations.

That's true, for now. Do you think it will stay that way? How long till it is considered child abuse to not take your child for gender affirming care? There is a market forming around this issue and I don't believe doctors have the best interests of everyone in mind. Many are trying to make a buck.

Dialogue is the lost art in modern politics! I've always enjoyed people with opposing views as me. Screaming insults is a good way to get people MORE entrenched in their thinking.

i don't disagree with that. Gender dysphoria has been recognized as a thing for a long time. I don't doubt some people may find relief living as the other gender and should be free to do so. I think the evil of the situation is not the trans people themselves, there is a industry forming around this that is pushing for medical and surgical intervention at what I believe is a pre mature stage. In my daughter's case, had I went with the what popular cultural says, I should have taken my daughter to a gender affirming therapist and doctor, gotten her on pills and on the track to transitioning. Had I done that, she'd be dealing with the effects of the hormones right now.

I won't. I reject the premise, no one can become the opposite sex. My views were shaped by my experience with my daughter. When she was 15 she told me she was "trans", that she wanted to become a boy, dead name, talking about hormones, the whole thing. I told her I understand she's feeling off but I will not refer to her as a boy and there will be no talk of hormones or surgery or anything. When she is 18 she can do whatever she wants. She hated me for about a year. Now she's 18 and says that was a phase and she is very thankful I pushed back. Some of her friends had parents who went along with it and they are now dealing with the issues inherient with it. There are many examples of people now in their 20s wondering where the hell the adults were allowing them to get on hormones as teenagers. These people are viewed with hatred from the trans community. To be clear, I don't care what adults want to do, my issue is as it pertains to children, specifically teenagers.

I thought DGH was BeerHam?

Yes my time here will be brief. But I wish everyone here the best going forward. Life is short. I hope everyone finds their little corner of happiness.

Is it me or did the font on his hat get bigger?
