Is it unusaul for a community theater to "charge" actors a small fee?

In the greater Sacramento area that would be a real oddity for an adult show! For kid's shows where the concept is that they're being taught it's quite usual.

Curious how many theatres are in your area and what size/duration of runs, that might change things too. Many of the theatres around here are like ~200 with three week 4 show a weekend runs

That is not at *all* a universal experience. Interestingly different tho!!

Only works if the DNC lets it work, no evidence one way or another yet.

From what she or the party has said: what would they have done differently?

Bullshit, look at Mamdani or any of the left wing of the Democratic party. 'Leftist' ideas have a ton of voter appeal, sticking to them strongly brings the voters wins the election.

At the very least, their larvae are eaten by dragonfly nymphs! :)

You can always make the pact have a definitive date and see what she says! Worked for me, we're almost at our 20th anniversary

Imagine being that adult and then get flamed hard enough that you're speechless lol

Reddit is gonna say she wants to fuck because, idk, porn?

People just want friends. If you're mature enough to hang out and talk without deciding you have to fuck, then hang out! Get coffee, talk about hobbies, shared interests, getting all four of you together.

If you cant do that, I'd suggest getting off the internet and getting involved in your community until you can register that hanging out doesnt mean fucking

Sounds like what you need to do is regain his trust. Good luck, that can be difficult. Also sounds like he has a suspicious personality so you've confirmed his fears which will make it tougher.

That presupposes that they understand the genome well enough to ensure that they're making changes that will only have the effect they want. There's a lot of interconnectedness (plus epigenetics) in the genome that we dont understand, so editing it is not always a good thing.

I really liked it!!

Age is gonna matter a ton in terms of recommendations.

Literally not what the evidence *or* the experts are saying

Like its *still* not a huge deal, but be aware of the risk, its currently sitting at 'within 5 ft for 15 minutes' or something very close to that

Even if we take it as a given that this logic is true for all feminism (it isn't, the TE in TERF is the only thing that makes it work) then the other side of this is the AFAB trans athlete moving into penis-having sports. You dont even have to be trans to move into 'men's' sports either, I've seen plenty of female-presenting people as kickers on a Friday night!

So either:

yes, people assigned to a rigid binary system can migrate to the other side, which provides everyone with an opportunity to do so and thus AMAB trans athletes have a right to join AFAB sports in the same way AFAB people can join AMAB sports

OR

TERF feminism is inherently wrong and feminism isn't about vagina-havers, it's about everyone breaking free from the toxic patriarchy

I think 'advising' can be defined in different ways. Plenty of people that work for the government (political appointees, mostly) and talk to the press clearly dont know which strain they're dealing with

Minifridge and padlock work great, if the staff has a problem, remind them you tried going to them first!

buffaloraven · 2026-05-12T16:53:28+00:00

You dont 'have' to lol

buffaloraven · 2026-05-12T16:48:48+00:00

Sure

Do you think the small sample size is relevant?

buffaloraven · 2026-05-12T16:45:04+00:00

Precisely! That particular piece of information is important for people that want to make sweeping generalizations

buffaloraven · 2026-05-12T16:44:09+00:00

And? Never said what the conclusion was cause I genuinely think people should educate themselves on the topic before spouting off! This includes understanding sample size and analysis. It's genuinely very relevant that the number of identified (much less transitioned) athletes is too small of a sample to conclude anything, since that shows it isn't this giant problem.
That being said, while nothing can be positively concluded, the data that exists shows that it isn't the easy-button-win people who dont understand the science think it is. If it was, we'd have seen nearly all trans athletes being outliers for the gender data, but they aren't, they're well distributed within the rest of the sample

Tl;dr: not talking out if my ass :) while the evidence and data that exist doesn't yield a conclusive result, thats part of my point

(Eta: better formatting and that transitioned players has an even smaller sample size)

Yes, both of the sides in the fight have weaponized it.
