Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I've seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It's always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it's been a thing.

Even more dumb is that sales are stupidly frequent so why even bother trying to pay $70 anyways besides FOMO.

Trans people.

Trans people have existed forever and conservatives are trying to pretend it's a new thing.

Where I live, this still applies to lesbians and gay men. I am not joking.

And I'm in a country where an overwhelming majority of the population, both old and new, is so conservative that it's basically religious nationalism at this point. I've said the name of that country so many times that I'm getting bored of it now, but it's basically Morocco.

The first patient to receive a sex reassignment surgery fought in the battle of the bulge.

Did they fight against the bulge, or for it?

"Battle of the Bulge" ironically sounds like a great name for a battle around Trans rights.
