A perpetual license doesn't mean the company supports it forever; you know that, right? I have a copy of Quickbooks 2015 that I got the license key for from a closing company for about $25. I will never have to pay another dime for it, it's a perpetual license and will run indefinitely. I just don't get any updates at all, and I can't run anything that requires updates or subscriptions like payroll or advanced features. But that's absolutely fine for my purposes and works the same for many, many people. This is how things should be - if I'm fine with using an outdated version, there is zero reason I need a subscription license.

Does it matter why? Bodily autonomy means bodily autonomy for everyone, regardless of whether you "understand" or or not. If he wants to be a more feminized masc, is it hurting you?

He can still be an amab femboy and take hrt to become more feminine without transitioning to become a woman. He does not claim to be trans, just a femboy.

Because it's only fraud if a normal person makes money from it, duh 🤪

Yeah, getting obsessively into some kind of physical activity that gives you dopamine beyond just the basic "after workout" happy chems will absolutely transform your body. I started aerial arts at 33 after 3 years of being almost completely sedentary post-autoimmune-diagnosis and am closing in on 2 years now. I look and feel a million times better and I need to eat way more to keep up with my 8+ hours a week of intense acrobatic and calisthenic workouts xD

Down side is that if I can't go to class I'm a grumpy bitch, lol.

I mean, how about my boring example from work the other day? I wanted to double check whether priority mail had guaranteed delivery timeframes before telling a customer that they did not and if she needed something by a specific day she should use UPS. When I searched "is priority mail delivery date guaranteed", the first real answer, from USPS's website, was a resounding no, just like I thought. Guess what Google's AI told me? "Priority mail is a guaranteed service, so you can choose it knowing that your package will be delivered on the projected date."

It's fucking stupid. It's wrong. It should not be at the top of search results.

"Walking and mobility aid devices only", perhaps?

Regarding difficulty - on lower difficulties it'll take longer to earn up the medals (though the major order rewards definitely help there) but I actually think it's faster to farm super credits on the easiest 3 difficulties.

Strawberries, raspberries and boysenberries are not berries. They're accessory fruit. Very berries and power berries don't seem to be a thing, unless you're translating them from another language incorrectly into English. You listed exactly one berry, the blueberry, proving their point that most people actually don't know much about their food. "Colloquial use" has nothing to do with people knowing actual facts about their food, which was the matter under discussion. Further, (anecdotally because I'm at work and can't be arsed to look it up at the moment though the studies have been done) a lot of people have no idea what kind of plant many of these things even grow on, whether tree, bush, vine, etc. They know it's a plant. That's about it. Ignorance about food is at an all time high and modern western society - or at least American society - is highly divorced from the act of food production.

Here's a short list of things that are actually berries: bananas, watermelon, cucumbers, pumpkins, tomatoes, peppers, grapes, oranges and kiwis. Aside from accessory fruits which are not berries, there are also drupes - stone fruit such as cherries, plums, avocados, etc, which are sometimes lumped under the umbrella of berries and sometimes considered distinct.

Personal Jesus?

I dunno, I feel like it's mostly just people being people. We have a truck and a sporty little hatchback and people are just as apt to drive like assholes around both cars, despite my husband and I both also being the "drive just enough above the speed limit that we probably won't get a ticket" drivers, and otherwise adhering almost exactly to road laws the way only mildly obsessive neurodivergents can. I think people either just don't know road laws or don't care about them and get pissed when other people do and "impede" their oh-so-important trip.
