It's not even people being offended that creates the rules a lot of the time. If you don't have strict and clear cut rules, it's going to eat up a ton of mod time trying to keep out trolls and people asking the same things repeatedly in bad faith. I liked the split that was on Reddit between an asktransgender group and the groups meant for community.

For me though, I've just never wanted to be in that particular kind of place as a trans person. It takes a lot of energy to constantly answer the unintentionally offensive and invasive questions from all the people in your family, job, and just general day to day life. It's hard to find people who consistently can and want to give time to helping slowly warm people up to the same basic facts that they could find on their own.

Part of the issue it seems like people are having in this thread is that it's really unclear what you mean by nonpolitical help.

I've never experienced any communities calling gender dysphoria beautiful, but I also see that idea as distinct from acknowledging it as a real problem that affects people. I don't think it's in any way political to talk about the fact that gender affirming care is well supported by medical research.

To me it's the best value for price bourbon I've found, and it's very good. I haven't tried very many of their higher end or limited offerings though.

I recently had to build out my business casual wardrobe as well. Madewell has taken so much of my money for both regular clothes and business ones. Decent deals on sale and generally a great quality. I'm also tall, and they tend to offer a tall version of everything which is so lovely.

Zara on sale had some decent deals of meh quality stuff, and I did some last bit of filling out with h&m stuff since the clothes budget was blown. H&m has some stuff that will look good for a bit, but long-term quality isn't great.

...it's definitely real words, at least I though. Did you get a non English torrent or something? Or do you not ever hear southern accents?

I've tried to use different types of corn flour, but it's never quite right. The nixtamilization process dramatically changes the texture of the resulting masa. Fresh masa is even better, and can be made yourself if you're up for a project day.

I agree that flour tortillas may be your best bet if you can't find maseca. A wine or round liquor bottle with the label removed makes a great impromptu rolling pin.

I'm also interested in this for using stremio from phones and PCs. Chromecast in particular also kinda sucks due to limited codec support.

The majority of my friends leaving Austin have done so because of state politics. It's hard to feel safe when you're queer in Texas.

A nice npr segment where they talked about mattress store because there are a bafflingly large number of them.

I absolutely do love all the things you named. I feel like in both chocolate and coffee that the milk rounds out flavors to be nice and smooth, but you lose some of detail. Sometimes they both go too far and end up in a sour or bitter mess, but I really enjoy the tastes on the edge of being too far.

Hot showers are just luxury. Put some lotion on after and your skin will be fine.

How far did you go on ensuring you got the cross pollination you wanted? I'm going to try a cross in the fall and am planning on bagging the bud and cutting out the anthers, but that may be overboard.

I've had plants come back from worse than this, so I wouldn't necessarily say these are goners yet. When it gets hot enough and they're in too much sun, even some of my healthy peppers will look like this before perking back up after getting watered that night.

Like everyone else said, they're stressed out and need some shade.
