I think my pronouns are way higher on the arithmetic hierarchy than yours.

I know this is a weird rant, but when I was a teenager I went through some extended depression and I decided antidepressants were what I needed to fix me. I made up my mind that I wasn't going to accept any other possible cure. Capitalism pressures us to be unhappy with how we are, we feel pressured to buy new things or even take pricey medical options to change ourselves. The idea that I needed a medical change was marketed to me by society, and I fell for it.

A couple decades later I still can't get off of them. I wish I had never had the option to start. I wish there had been something that could have prevented me from seeing them as an option, but that's not a reasonable request. It's not a reasonable request simply because it would cause undue harm any teens out there who actually do need that option.

Well, that and the fact that the harm wouldn't be explicitly directed at the transgender community.

This one is a classic.

Not identical, but the first thing to come to mind for me is the album "Esoptron" (actually "Εσοπτρον", but you're more likely to find it by the English spelling) by Septic Flesh. It's less hypnotic than Morne, but I really like the atmosphere it creates. I have not read the lyrics though.

I was just listening to Morne's album "To the Night Unknown" yesterday! I actually wasn't aware they were well-known.

It's times like these that I'm thankful to be from an older generation with no need for emojis beyond :) and :(

Every time someone brings up outdoor cats I wonder what the hell happened. It's like the hexbear version of the noodle incident.

That's like the most relatable thing here. I wouldn't iron my clothes for this shit today.

Am I reading this right that Pence was over 10% at one point? That doesn't feel even remotely believable to me.
