Transgender teen attempts self-mastectomy before pool party

Sounds a lot like they're hoping it's a phase and will "work itself out".
My oldest is NB, they're 15. I like to think we're about as open-minded as it gets, but I still had the thought that it might be something brought about by seeing people they look up to being a certain way and not from internal, intrinsic reasons.
I hope your daughter's friend ends up ok. If nothing else then knowing there are people out there that think of him might help with feeling isolated and misunderstood.

By default, sharing a sudo password between PTY sessions is not allowed by your operating system. This can be a frustration when using Waveterm because every command is treated as a separate PTY session. To get around this, Waveterm will cache your sudo password in local memory (not written to disk) and share it with a session when provided.
Holy crap, no thanks. That's legit awful.

As annoying as it is, I'd rather have visually inconsistent elements rather than broken applications. There's something to be said for backwards compatibility.

I've been so tempted to buy this for several years now, but I just know the successor will be revealed two weeks after I buy one. D:

I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping

I was handed one of these when I was on a church trip as a teenager. One of many many reasons I became disillusioned, but pretty funny in retrospect.

Insurance is absolutely, unambiguously, the worst. I had a stress echocardiogram denied by insurance yesterday because they don't think I need it. A test to try to identify a problem, what's my alternative? Wait to see if I drop dead? I guess in that sense I don't need it but c'mon. And I'm on one of the "good" plans.
It seems like "deny everything and we'll save money on the people that can't/won't fight the denial" is actually common practice now.
I hope their actuaries get to experience the bullshit and have time to regret their contributions to human suffering.

First they tried to "cure" gayness. Now they're fixated on "healing" trans people.

I can imagine it being more difficult to push than pull, especially in cursive.
But don't feel bad, I'm right-handed and write right-handed and my handwriting is also atrocious.

Depends entirely on the self checkout system in use. My local Kroger has a system that's absolutely awful to use. Seconds between placing an item in the baking area and the register acknowledging it, and if you scan another item before it's weighed and acknowledged it'll yell at you. A few times of that and an associate has to come by and unlock it.
Most of the ones I've used at Walmart will handle me scanning and bagging as fast as I want for the most part.
