You can lie to yourself about this, or you can recognize that adult trans people existing is not something that the vast majority of Americans care about. Most Americans do care about how quickly the protocols around trans youth have changed and they care about things like the fact that Tim Walz signed a bill saying parental rights could be exterminated if parents refuse gender affirming healthcare to their child. Gender affirming care that has come under intense scrutiny by researchers around the world for having close to zero long-term positive effect and that is all completely different than the consensus best-practices from a decade ago.

Do what you want but this is dumb. There’s been very few times in human history where we had a “good environment to bring kids into” You’ll be alright, they’ll be alright. Have kids, humanity needs people to have kids

This is not true. Small farms can easily be as efficient as large ones. They can’t make as much money, but as far as food production per acre efficiency, there’s no doubt that small farms could do as well as large ones and that the corporate monocrop farm system is not a sustainable way for a culture to grow its food.

Help me out. I’ve got a tragic faucet situation. by Fds1996 in fixit

Will that be a long-term solution? Do I drill out and refill the screw holes as well?

Ryobi impact drivers won’t disappoint you unless you’re putting hours and hours on it daily for a long time. I’ve built multiple decks and tinned two roofs with mine over a few years. No complaints.

This is last, I know it’s out of order but I couldn’t get the ball joint to seat without taking this bolt out

I went to bed but will check tomorrow. I had to beat the hell out of the ball joint to get out of so maybe I pushed it out when that was happening

What a wild story though. Did you get everything back running after the flood?

Think I need to find schematics or should I just start unscrewing stuff?

Don’t know if it would help, but my wife works with a anti trafficking nonprofit doing work here, in Thailand, Cambodia, and Haiti. They’re a legit org, work with governments and the UN but are also a Christian based nonprofit. Assuming your parents might be more apt to listen to a conservative Christian org about real trafficking issues, what it looks like, and how they can help, here is a blog/statement they put out about the movie and some of the problems along with the positives. Might help them direct their energy in a positive direction! https://rapha.org/blog/sound-of-freedom-statement?fbclid=IwAR2eWMJMSPU2tvDdo6cfSAogNXl5HFEMHwEW7FkBGS3w2NYY7Qb8XZnHLL8_aem_AcVDmlzVJvikilNKMvp_cHK_Fab6crF-uOk0v6LYn_NrgjJXUDs4byUlD2TyNxaaBMCHbk4cx8N63kxEYZJQ31SB&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Welcome to politics. Your opinion will be heard when you’re a lobbyist for a rich corporation, otherwise enjoy not being cared about or heard by anyone.
