Persona 5 had my favorite OST of all time — until I played Nier. It was an amazing year for video game music.

I was exactly the same way. Heck, after I finished it, I couldn’t enjoy any other video games for about a month, because I was still pining after Nier. *That’s* how I knew it was a truly great game.

As a white transwoman I totally get this. You vote for the party that doesn’t actually give a shit about you, because it’s better than voting for the one that wants you dead, but it sure doesn’t make you feel good when you do.

Alaska would stick with Washington state. A large percentage of Alaska businesses have headquarters in Seattle. It’s a vestige of the time before the internet, when if you needed to transact business with the lower 48, it was much easier to do that from Seattle.

But the deluxe (and the special) don’t include ketchup...

People keep talking about losing the deductions for state income taxes, but that deduction was *also* for state sales taxes, btw. There are people in places like Texas, Washington, and Alaska that don’t have state income taxes that don’t realize they are also going to lose out, but they totally are as well.

Exactly. It’s hard, but it’s not complicated. The fact that they’re lines of communication are so messed up shows that management doesn’t believe it’s a priority.

Myth 2 is the reason I bought a computer with a CD-ROM drive — it’s still what I think of first when I think of Bungie.

The red flag is when they have free booze, but disallow spouses/guests. That tells you that management is looking to misbehave.

I’m really starting to like Stephanie Ruhle, too. I had some initial distrust of her investment banking background (there’s so much economic conventional wisdom that is just flat-out untrue), but I think she’s learned most of the right lessons from that. And she is whip-smart and unafraid to speak her mind and…

Oh absolutely. I do the same thing. It’s important to be able to self-monitor well enough to know when those thoughts are actually a danger. Fortunately the one time I opened my “just in case” bottle of pills to actually take them, I was strong enought to flush them down the toilet instead.

Some of that, definitely. And this may just reinforce what you were saying, butI always heard it as more nostalgia than contempt. (I was a Southern small-town transplant, rather than a Midwestern one, so it was all vaguely alien anyway, while still reminding me of similar things from the South.)

I don’t know that there were ever a lot of public details, but I know I’ve heard something about him. So this was like the least surprising revelation ever.

In addition, one of the major reasons for company failures is guessing wrong on demand and being stuck with a pile of unsold inventory.

It’s as though drunk people don’t always make good decisions.

You have just explained why I loved my bus commute, when I lived in a city with mass transit. I wrote a novel during my commute time.

That’s a state by state thing. Many states do require annual inspections of vehicles.

My 22 year-old son adores it as well.

But those of us who haven’t ever been harassed (and we do exist) keep trying to figure out why that might be. “I guess I’m not pretty enough” is always an easy place to go.

Transfolk don’t make up a huge percentage of the military, but a disproportionate percentage of transfolk serve.
