That’s exactly what an idiot would say!! grips tinfoil hat more tightly

There can be more than one idiot in a given situation

Yeah, if I were to attempt these, I’d precook the ground beef so I could drain it appropriately, then try to assemble and finish the pepperoni and cheese under like a low broil. But I’d cook the beef itself relatively unseasoned in the hopes that either mixing it with pizza sauce or layering pizza sauce between the beef and cheese would tie everything together flavor-wise.

I’d also skip the pepperoni entirely because it gives me nightmarish heartburn, but that’s neither here nor there.

My mother (who is cis) was a landscaper for most of her career, and the fact that she was more jacked than anyone else in the family because of it was always a genuine point of pride. It didn’t stop her from looking good in a dress either (although occasions she felt like fully dressing up for were few and far between.)

My point being, even if your muscles were to stay looking the way they are in this picture, I think that’s perfectly okay. Strength is absolutely not exclusive to any gender, and having muscle definition doesn’t make you less of a woman. But for the record, I do think your muscles will become less prominent with time. Give it five years. If you are less than a year into your transition now, that’s hardly any time at all (even though I am sure there are so many other ways where it is also, equally validly, feeling like a really long time!)

Almost as if you deliberately ignored the operative word “could” in my original reply so that you could pretend I thought everyone should be forced to see a personal trainer and get mad about that

When people have the choice to receive benefits, they typically only do so when they would actually benefit. People without a problem they believe therapy can address typically won’t choose to see a therapist, for the same reason you would not choose to see a personal trainer.

That’s not anywhere close to what I said or even could have been reasonably implying. It was already pretty obvious that you were trolling, but this is just ridiculous.

Congratulations though, with that level of jumping to conclusions you definitely do not need a personal trainer.

No, money grows in the pocketbooks of the rich because we let them avoid paying their fair share.

I’m choosing to read that first line as an abbreviation instead of an onomatopoeia.

Whatever you said, I bow down to your extreme wisdom.

it’s a luxury good, like travel.

It shouldn’t be.

A lot of major health insurance providers have free “self-help” style mental healthcare options, which are better than nothing even if they’re kind of lame, but even one of the worst insurers I’ve been on (Kaiser Permanente) had decent mental health benefits. They like money and they know that subsidizing therapy is way cheaper than paying claims for a lot of the issues poor mental health can lead to

Actually yeah, if everyone could check in with a personal trainer every month or two for free, that would probably return many times the value of its cost through how much healthier it would make the population in the long term

He’s really desperate to be able to say he ended a war, huh? Any war at all. Even if it’s not technically a war.

Couldn’t you achieve something similar with a hydraulic system that’d be a lot quieter?

I can’t figure what that obvious device would be if it’s not a battery pack or something though. It’s still really conspicuous.

If you are interested in software development, and willing to put in the work to actually learn strong fundamentals, I think you’re going to have a clear leg up on the competition after the AI bubble in all likelihood bursts eventually. Vibe coding is hurting the signal to noise ratio in general right now, but as far as I’m aware a “live portfolio” like a website of personal projects has always been as good if not better than a resume when it comes to selling your skills in software.

Just consider whether you’ll be able to tolerate doing the work when you’re not going to be the one in charge of deciding what you work on.

It’s somewhat made up for by there being no state income tax, but it is still among the highest sales tax rates

Just so you know, you can remap the button or turn it off entirely in the system settings under Accessibility

You can remap the button or disable it entirely, and it’s the least prominent button on the controller, so I think your level of irritation would be low to none.

You can remap it to any other button or turn it off entirely. To use your example you could use it as a second capture button if you prefer it on the right controller instead of the left one

According to the USDA, “sell-by”, “use-by”, “freeze-by”, and “best if used by/before” dates are all indicators of quality, not safety. Except for infant formula, nothing is required to be dated by federal regulations, and an item being past its date does not necessarily imply spoilage, just a loss of quality.

You may want to check with your state and local governments to see if there are any more specific rules that would apply in your location.

Yeah it’s situational, but based on my experience with the grip buttons on the pro controller, I’m sure there’s some games where it’d come in handy

You can remap it to another button in the settings, or turn it off entirely if it’s annoying
