It's really not that great, in my opinion. Stilted acting, direction and writing. None of it is believable.

Thanks, I had everything but "pego".

The stuff on top is called nori (dried seaweed) and they've cut it into strips, along with some green onion and sesame seeds.

Explains why the 'K'lingons are so unstable and reactive.

You're basically just proving my point. The first half is "irrelevant", as you said, or "unrelated", as I said. You're filling in gaps from the first half to the second half.

The post goes (paraphrased): It seems like an oversight to not have this feature of having individuals in multiple households. It got me thinking. Companies can choose not to hire you if your parents weren't married.

You've filled in the "it got me thinking" with "....they encountered this issue with a minor thing, started reading up on it online, and when digging into that kind of stuff ended up reading on what the legal situation is...."

That's exactly what I said is the mental gymnastics in response to OP's question, and you're filing it in like they actually explained it.

Yeah, it feels like a big leap to go from the first part to the second. Like, how are they related? Hence, mental gymnastics.

Episode I is free to play. I haven't heard of these before but I'm guessing it makes sense to start there: https://store.steampowered.com/app/429470/Space_Pilgrim_Episode_I_Alpha_Centauri/

I don't know how much you've traveled, but outside "Western" countries it gets bad really fast for anyone in a wheelchair. Like sidewalks in many places go from non-existent to completely unusable to walk, let alone wheel. Ramps? If you're lucky there's a 30 degree ramp. Elevators? Good luck, maybe standing room. Accessible toilets? Lol. Paratransit? I suppose you could hitch a ride as the bus swings by, barely stopping long enough for people to jump on. That's if there is transit in the first place. Kneeling buses, buses with ramps? Good fucking luck.

From what I've seen, it would be hell in a wheelchair, or having any mobility or other accessibility issues in 90% of the world.

I'm not saying its perfect here, not by any means (I've worked in the accessibility space, so I do know a bit.) However, it is a whole different world here in the west.

That said, fuck Anthrocon for doing that to you.

I'm not the one you asked, but: They're not discriminating, they have a feature that allows a group, maybe a household, to be managed together and share features. Going from "they don't support this niche feature" to "they're discriminating against me" is the mental gymnastics.

But he has a budget of no more than $80. How can the dev not do it!!1!?

I bet you're a double dipper.

This is misinformation.

However, the number listed, 1-877-330-6366, does not connect to a Canadian government service. It connects to Trans Lifeline, a nonprofit, peer-led support line that has served both American and Canadian transgender people since 2014. No new Canadian hotline has been created for LGBTQ+ Americans.
