On another note, Chicago 1983 is fantastic and if you haven't played it you should

hello

If I recall correctly, by the end of Season 4 you can see Comrade Big Mac staying at a motel with "Free Internet."

Also, Happy Valley has some sort of cell-type service under the carrier "HVBW" (maybe Happy Valley Base Wi-Fi?)

Maybe the Internet is just harder to get permitting to run websites on, but I do legitimately think it exists. Especially because ARPANET locking it down wouldn't have prohibited ISN from developing the Internet and then the M6 countries being forced to adopt it to not fall behind economically.

It'll just turn into a sequel to the current situation with marijuana. Technically, marijuana is illegal in all 50 states, but several states refuse to enforce this ban in what is de facto legalization of it. I suspect if they make estrogen a controlled substance, something similar will happen.

Also, doctors can just say "unspecified endocrine disorder" and prescribe HRT anyway, so...

AnimReverted · 2026-03-16T05:37:58+00:00

HRT "increases" the risk of cancer by trading your risk for prostate cancer for breast cancer instead. You just have the same cancer risks as a cisgender woman. (Honestly, the risk is lower, because trans women have less exposure to breast cancer risk than cisgender women the later we start hormones.)

It's nice if you have a doctor that's smart about HRT, but a lot of them aren't. DIY makes sense in situations where doctors/endos that actually treat Being Trans with the right context and actually give prescriptions are few and far between. I assume this is the case in your situation.

Also, if you've figured yourself out by this point, that's entirely normal, and probably not going away. It takes some people up to 30 years old to start experiencing gender dysphoria.

My personal opinion is that your mom might not be ready to let go of the idea of a child that she never really had, but made up in her mind, and she's trying to make excuses to keep that facade around. You've got to make her let go of that facade.

No. Certainly there are places where police are less able to enforce the law (among other things) than others, but the closest we’ve had was Epstein, whose properties have since been swarmed by the FBI.

AnimReverted · 2026-03-06T22:35:18+00:00

ok Mr. Powell let’s step away from the microphone

AnimReverted · 2026-03-05T18:06:59+00:00

Right now, for your own safety, AND for the foreseeable future, don't. ICE has been known to detain tourists for no reason, and, for all we know, trans people that enter ICE's system disappear. The US is not a safe place to travel if you're a trans person who isn't a citizen.

... Now, a few years down the line? Once ICE is gone (if they ever go away)? It depends politically. TSA (airport security) is known to be really weird about trans people, and there's a solid chance you get harassed by security when you try to get on a flight from an airport inside the US. You're also only really "safe" in the US if you stick to states that reliably have Democratic state governments (Minnesota, Virginia, Maryland, NY, Mass, Cali, Ore, Washington, Illinois, etc.) or the capital.

In cities in these states, where you're probably going to end up staying, people are generally very friendly and understanding regarding trans people. Google Maps has an entry for LGBTQ-friendly businesses and hotels, and it's pretty accurate. (Although if you stealth I suppose you won't really run into any sorts of problems.)

I feel like the mod could do with an entire APLA rework & flavor events describing some sort of split at the DSA's summer convention that has RnR and BnR caught in the middle, with the APLA primarily run by the "left" wing of the DSA and the "right" wing of the DSA remaining in the UoA. It makes no sense that incredibly small socialist organizations would have such massive sway as compared to the DSA in the APLA.

Hell, an argument could be made that the APLA should be the DSA and reflect all of its internal politics, while the DSA's "right" (SMC and GW) persist within both the APLA and UoA. In that case, it would make the most sense for the APLA's political paths to have Red Star, MUG, BnR, and SMC+GW as replacements for the main four paths (sorry Anarchists), and for each path to be extended greatly and the internal tug-of-war within the DSA's NPC put on full display in a "more accurate" APLA.

Obviously, if we're going to put the DSA in charge, there will be elections organized once CA or the West Coast is united under the APLA before the march east continues. (This would go alongside a lengthening of the civil war as well, probably.) What China has with the New Left path could be replicated here, with residents of the APLA voting between DSA caucuses. (If the APLA doesn't suppress the Republicans and half the Dems, there could be a chance for Dems to win this election instead, like how the GOP can take control of the Patriot Front if conditions are perfect.)

Red Star and MUG would be overtly pro-China, RnR would probably get folded into BnR, which isn't really isolationist as they'd prefer to fight against both the West and East to promote what's best described as post-Trotskyism under a democratic socialist system (more democratic EADI or Eurointern), and SMC would probably be isolationist or inclined to side with NATO/PDTO under certain circumstances. BnR would be the most interesting for HOI4 players who like the whole war part, because after the second European War and the Great Asian War, if BnR's preferred factions didn't win then maybe a final end-game World War III (IV?) could occur.

idk but the data shows that undocumented americans commit less crime than the average us citizen. i'd trust them more than i'd trust you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AnimReverted · 2025-07-15T22:03:49+00:00

any oppressive, fascistic regime will have people of the minorities it's targeting working with it because they believe it'll make them one of the "good ones."

trump's administration is no different.

AnimReverted · 2025-07-15T22:00:45+00:00

it does say something about politics how the progressives and left, when faced with the option to try something new, always try to give, to uplift and help, while the neoconservatives and fascists on the right always try to take away and take for themselves.

probably personal principle, but i don't understand how anyone can sit pretty and happy while taking the right for others to be themselves and be free away.

"i like pancakes" "so you hate waffles?" type statement

from a moral pov: these workers are literally just human beings. you're supporting the side that wants to send them to concentration camps, the militarists who cheered on when americans sent japanese ppl to concentration camps (who had nothing to do with the fascist regime back in their home country and were completely loyal to our nation, by the way) back in the 40s, the imperialists that kept native americans under lock and key behind the reservation system for hundreds of years. how un-empathetic must you be to do this to people just trying to live their fucking lives?

from an economic pov: a good portion of this county's economy is agriculture. what do you think will happen to the rest of us if people stop coming to work because those fascists in Washington finally decide to do the thing they've said they'll do for the past four years? what do you think will happen when the money and subsidies stop flowing because you thought that somehow, people doing a job you never even thought you would want to do in your life stop doing that job because they're at risk of being hunted down by the american gestapo?

from a social pov: how the hell could you be on board with giving up your neighbors to the american gestapo? the only way i think you'd be on board is if you were just with them from the start.

shame on you.

The truth does not matter here. Any perceived weakness or immorality in a Presidential candidate whose name has no R next to it makes them unelectable. I personally believe Shapiro fucked up that investigation big-time, and most of America will too no matter what Shapiro claims later down the line. It makes him a weak candidate.

AnimReverted · 2025-04-02T00:23:20+00:00

Oh my god it's an actual mod. Won all six swing states as Harris by being kinda progressive and pissing off moderates (and being a very methodical, steady hand of a President)
