Yup. The trans community has been doing this with HRT meds for YEARS because it was either straight up illegal, or almost impossible to obtain access because of the dozens of hoops you had to jump through.

My issue, as a younger grognard, is that point and click character builders and sheets have led to a lot of players who don't actually understand how to play the game without their buttons. They don't get what I mean when I say "roll a spell attack" unless they have a button that does it. They don't get how to build a character outside of something like D&D Beyond where it does everything for you.

Pokemon Emerald? So long as I'm not the protag, life is generally OK. Aside from Team Aqua/Magma and the whole "causing disasters to expand the sea/land", I should be OK.

Their current nuclear policy if they believe someone is going to credibly deploy nuclear weapons against the French is to fire a nuclear-tipped air-to-ground missile at the power in question, as a warning shot.

There's a good reason nobody's domesticated them.

Not these Teslas, from what I understand. The type of glass they use is EXTREMELY resistant to shattering.

Their home version of Spokesman is great.

Rage Against the Machine doing this concert would just be Tom Morello beating every one of them to death with his guitar.

Pretty much this. It's the radium craze, or the ozone craze, or a whole bunch of other fads - everything has to have AI/LLMs integrated in some way or it's not "interesting" to shareholders.

We sure do NOT have universally mandatory civics, not anymore. I graduated in 09 and my school district didn't teach anyone anything beyond the basics of the voting system.

Pretty much this. Elon was never interested in what he SHOULD HAVE BEEN: making an inexpensive electric vehicle that's widely available. Tesla had the tech to do so, but they were being driven to make insane decisions like moving the gearshift to a touchscreen (gee, I love taking my eyes off the road to shift gears), or making "futuristic" doors that actually cannot physically open from the inside (whoops, guess those just can't be recalled since DOT has literally no teeth).

Or they were just taking it home to store. Which, y'know, will likely result in that gas eating the plastic bucket in a couple weeks because gasoline is incredibly good as a solvent.
