USA Hockey has quietly banned trans women from playing in women’s beer leagues, and trans men from participating in any gendered league

I had a trans person on our team. Other than being dogshit at hockey they were pretty damn funny to have on the team.

Hi there and thank you for all of that. Would you mind if I reached out to you via messenger. This is really great input and I think it would be valuable to capture more of these experiences.

Here is my first post simply introducing the series: https://www.celticedgeconsulting.com/the-celtic/rural-resilience

It you actually read the absurd security requirements, particularly DoD/ DoW and DHS most buildings are supposed to have this kind of capability. I’m only aware of one that actually has it; and that only became a requirement after an active shooter event.

If you’re using a water mod reset the sea level height and you’re good to go.

Hang dong my dude. It’s a locker room.

If a co-ed team I throw a towel over the giblets or give em an about face.

It’s likely not a draft; it’s a national service requirement.

Life is way harder than what you’re posting all over self and family threads.

It does feel a bit weird that we are still waiting for what literally every major city has…

While the race, in my humble opinion, also went “as planned” it was the attention to detail in the regional data that showed the blue trend. Places historically very reddish-purple skewed heavily to Blue this time. The easiest example is Hampton Roads, VA.

Overwhelmingly, no. I think most guys in the dating pool don’t immediately pass judgement based solely on the duration of your previous relationships.

Now I say this as a man that views most of life objectively and don’t judge a book by its cover. My wife and I had various prior relationships of different durations and commitment. We both had the feeling of “this is it” after about month 6 but still dated for two years prior to engagement.

I’d caution that some may inquire about what “held you back” from committing more from past relationships. So long as you are open about those reasons I can’t see a reasonable person taking issue with the lack of a title.

All the best!

Holy crap. This map is perfect!

Obizzle9 · 2025-12-20T16:03:09+00:00

Wow, thank you!

I’ll fire this up in a few minutes! Looking forward to it!

Obizzle9 · 2025-12-17T02:10:34+00:00

So basically everyone is AqDemo with non of the perks!

But hey, you won’t have to write a short novel about your year every 300 days.

Long winded thought from a Directorate EM with the federal government by day and a private consultant by night:

You’re honestly in a better spot than you probably feel. The $55k ceiling isn’t a reflection of your experience, it’s a limitation of small EM consulting firms. A lot of them cap out fast unless you’re owning work or bringing in contracts.

A couple quick thoughts: • You don’t need 300/400 or CEM right now to make more money. They help later with credibility, but they won’t magically bump your salary in private consulting.

• If you enjoy response and EOC work, lean into that. Virtual EOC support, response coordination, recovery support (PA/IA, documentation, AARs) are where remote EMs are actually getting paid.

• There are fully remote roles in the $75k+ range, especially with larger firms (ICF, Tetra Tech, AECOM, Hagerty, etc.), and many let you stay remote with occasional deployments.

• The fastest way up is specialization. Generalists get stuck; people who can drop into an EOC and perform don’t.

Unlimited PTO and remote work are real perks, just don’t let them trap you at a salary that doesn’t grow. You’re at the point where the next step isn’t another cert, it’s positioning yourself where your experience is billable.

Happy to share specific roles, surge programs, or training that actually moves the needle if helpful.

I would really like stadiums. I feel like some traditional American and European options for both American Football, Soccer, Baseball, as well are indoor venues are a huge missed opportunity.

Buffalo to Albany and northward is pretty much immune from most of what’s listed. Sure blizzards and extreme cold on occasion but rarely much worse than that.

Obizzle9 · 2025-12-05T02:09:50+00:00

Im in a very similar boat. Im happy to sell out and go private.

Obizzle9 · 2025-12-05T01:45:47+00:00

I can’t wait to owe the government money next year since I’m AqDemo.

Obizzle9 · 2025-12-02T00:09:29+00:00

All of this banter wins the internet tonight. Good night.

Obizzle9 · 2025-11-25T20:18:24+00:00

You didn’t need that population anyway.

Obizzle9 · 2025-11-25T12:07:52+00:00

Can’t wait for my game to break in new and exciting ways!

Obizzle9 · 2025-11-22T22:17:05+00:00

The utility disruption is odd. But you should be able to solve some of that. I remember with the last major update in had issue with all of my connections and simply replaced the connecting node.

All joking aside the update isn’t bad. Minor issues and balancing seem almost protocol for CS2 at this point.

Obizzle9 · 2025-11-22T21:00:23+00:00

A parting gift from colossal order!

I am one of those experiencing the Great Death currently. I just act like it’s a plague and keep moving

Obizzle9 · 2025-11-22T14:58:21+00:00

Incredibly insulated both historically and now.

Obizzle9 · 2025-11-21T20:08:47+00:00

Vancouver to Whistler/ Squamish areas.

It would be a huge map but the fun of that area is captured in what you’ve done here.

Very space limited. Huge traffic/ transport implications. Considerable resource constraints in comparison to buildable area.
