It certainly is! That's really interesting. I didn't even consider how transitioning changes the way one would use the toilet. I can totally see needing to practice in the shower with the device.

To be fair to your wife, we have been practicing with it since we were toddlers.

Or instead of saving the world you and your group fail, your group is now considered terrorists, and the knee jerk reaction of those in power removes more of the people's freedoms and oppresses them more, all in an effort to ensure that little uprising doesn't happen again.

I agree something needs to be done, but it'll have to be done with elections and legislation that protects that progress from being dismantled by the next party that might not agree with that change.

Sustainable change is a slow process. Sometimes that process is so slow you might not see the results in your lifetime.

I used to think that the whole world was in black and white, just like all the old pictures and movies I had seen, then at some point we discovered color and turned it on! After that there were no more black and white pictures and movies anymore.

Yeah but he is messing with rich people's money and that is a #1 no no. If he was scamming poor people no one would have cared.

The reality of it is we know straight up banning guns is the only way to truly solve this problem. The issue is we like to pretend it is some super complex issue with all this nuance that can only be approached by the best and brightest, but the right people to put that policy together just haven't come along yet. We tell ourselves that because the truth is we are totally okay with a certain amount of faceless death as long as we can have our toys and we don't have to clean up the mess.

New to us.

Absolutely! I recently beat Black Mesa and it was a great game. It's been a long while since I played HL but I'd argue Black Mesa is the better HL experience in terms of modern FPS game mechanics and overall feel.
