Sorry, did you just say “I wonder if the fossil fuel industry has home solar in its sights”?

Perhaps you haven’t been reading the news, but Trumps “One Bill Beautiful Bill” abuptly ended tax credits for home solar a few weeks ago, between that and his existing tariffs on solar panels, the breakeven period for a home solar setup is now decades.

The residential solar industry is in freefall right now. Thousands of installers are losing or have already lost their jobs.

I guess I take it for granted that this is common knowledge since I work in the industry, but it’s unbelievably bad right now.

Don’t acknowledge it at all, you dont owe the guests any explanation about yourself. Just focus on the couple and let anyone who wonders about your gender presentation puzzle it out on their own time.

Technically half of it already belongs to the United States. Even more technically all of it already belongs to America (the continent)

Genuinely lol’d, do what you gotta do my man.

I got back into scifi books recently as an adult and was disgusted to find that virtually all of the “great” scifi authors are menwritingwomen trope goldmines.

When there are female main characters that aren’t just the authors fetishs, they’re typically subjected to violence, with rape used so frequently as female “character development” that it would be laughable if it wasn’t so sad.

I’ve begun to prefer scifi written by women, because then at least I know its not going to be completely cringe.

ITT people simp for corporations.

I’m sure daddy supermarket chain loves it when you offer your free labor to him after he’s finished ripping you off with his shrinkflation and grocery prices rising faster than inflation.

As a union household we don’t steal work from unionized grocery workers. Not even something as small as cart wrangling. Anyone who does is a scab.

The issue itself is nuanced, unfortunately the debate is not.

Transwomen who’ve only gone through female puberty (i.e. transitioned as minors or went on puberty blockers) are going to be physically on the same level as ciswomen.

Transwomen who’ve been through both puberties are going to be pretty close to the physical abilities of the average ciswomen after a few years on estrogen, though there are some permanent effects of testosterone that will remain, like build size.

Thats to say nothing of the fact that dividing sports along gender is somewhat arbitrary to begin with, while the average female athlete may be smaller and weaker than the average male athlete, there is still plenty of overlap, and it would really make more sense to divide sports along different criteria, like weight classes or some other more fair metric.
