Ranked choice, or first past the post?

The reason fentanyl is so prevalent is because it's easy to smuggle. The reason it's so deadly is it's hard to accurately dose. Legalization immediately solves both of those problems.

Are you getting treatment for depression? Or alcoholism? There's medicine for both of those that can help (although it can take trial and error). Also therapy.

HRT can't help everything. I was definitely expecting too much when I started, and after a year I felt in a similar position to you. . Fortunately, I started therapy and antidepressants, and they've slowly helped. They've helped me better appreciate the changes from hrt too.

Think of it like this: testosterone is like a dog biting you. HRT is when the dog finally lets go. But you still have that wound that needs to heal. For some people, it just needs a little time to heal. Others need bandages, stitches, antibiotics, etc.

I definitely needed antidepressants and therapy on top of HRT. I'm still not quite where I'd like to be, but holy shit it's been much easier with the professional help.

And just one more thing to emphasize: there are prescription drugs that help with alcoholism. Benzos are used to manage withdrawals, if that's needed (although some people aren't comfortable taking benzos). Naltrexone lessens cravings, and isn't something like a benzo that can get you hooked

I don't care about the other flags, I just specifically don't want the pride flag to be flown. I don't want my flag to be associated with a genocidal empire

My Thinkpad touchscreens were useless until I switched to wayland.

The only drawback is I have to manually edit the qgis desktop file to start qgis with x11 instead of Wayland. I had to do the same to a couple other random experimental apps, too.

NOT single-handedly! The IDF couldn't do shit with the evangelicals and trad caths of America propping their apartheid government up. It's important to remember that western, mostly-christian countries created the environment for this genocide. AND the same people have spent decades equating the state of Israel with all Jews.

In other words, antisemitism is as European as Zionism.

US businesses? You mean mob-run casinos? Or hereditary plantation owners?

What does Russia in 2024 have to do with the blockade? Cuba has been trying to peacefully trade with the US for 60 years - even when the USSR provided aid.

Make no mistake about who is imposing the embargo
