1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

The 49ers absolutely wasted like a 5-ring dynasty window because they convinced themselves their bad quarterbacks wouldn’t matter and every year would seriously be the year all the three-yard out routes and bubble screens paid off

Also your mashed potatoes are bad because you didn’t use enough butter. However much butter you think you used isn’t enough. Add more. Do you hate joy? No? Add more butter and shut up.

Lot of talk about if thanksgiving food is good. This is nonsense. Just as cigarettes are nicotine delivery devices, thanksgiving food is a gravy delivery device. Get the gravy right and nothing else matters.
