The "R.R." in J.R.R. Tolkien stands for "Ruff Ryder". Same as George R.R. Martin, weird enough.

I'm not saying it should be illegal to take Zoom work meetings at a coffee shop, but your drink should cost 3-4x as much

Los Angeles, 2019. I am a courier, delivering important materials by hand. In order to navigate the dirty, crowded streets better, I glide through them on a pair of roller blades. I'm what's known colloquially as an ANDROID MURDERER. (There was a mix-up at the job name factory.)

Everything is not enough
And nothing is too much to bear
Where you been is good and gone
All you keep is the gettin' there
And nothing is too much to bear
Where you been is good and gone
All you keep is the gettin' there

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.
Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

I firmly hold that if you're gonna gamble, you should HAVE to do it in person. Some shitty bookie's place in the back of a restaurant, or a casino parlor. Be there in-person. Realize what kind of money you're forking over. Accept that you are a degenerate (derogatory).
You should have to go to Vegas, a reservation casino, or another specific venue to gamble.
That friction matters. And, honestly, the social element matters.
Today, we have people spiraling out into crisis at 3 am in their beds. They’re on the edge of bankruptcy and suicide. On their phones.
