Yet your brain is fully developed and you still seem unable to comprehend the concept of gender so I guess it's not entirely an age thing.

I see you didn't read it. Solid.

I have to admit, i was against trans healthcare for minors, until I had to rush my own kid to er and found out how they felt about their body and sex at birth. That was 9 years ago. My kid is alive, has transitioned, and is now happy at age 25. I have totally changed my views. No one whose kid is not trans can truly understand how vital affirming Healthcare really is. Please, all of you, stay in your lane.

Their brains are not even fully developed yet, as well as not being able to comprehend the concept of gender. There is no reason to allow this to happen to children and does irreparable harm both physically and mentally to proceed with anything.

Leave them alone and allow them the time to fully decide for themselves instead of people moving too fast.

Children do not need puberty blocker for something that they do not even understand. It is highly reckless and abusive to prevent a child from developing as their body dictates. Gender dysphoria is a serious issue that does not mean they need to act on when they are children.

Those who would recommend a child to go through any procedure before they are adult do not have the child's welfare as their primary concern.

Again, why are people pushing for this?

My kid really, really wanted to be Thomas the Tank Engine when they grew up.

Initially I was hurt by his words and then I fell down the stairs and my shoes fell off

That you would prohibit puberty blockers shows you need to educate yourself on this.

Well said

Would be helpful if they released a bit more of a breakdown of these "reports" by category and disposition.

So what has quadrupled is the total number reports where the person calling in thought they were a witness to or a victim of hate, even when the act being reported was not unlawful?

This was on a post about a week or so ago.

Children should not have transition medication, surgery until they are adults if they still want it. Doing anything to minors is a form of abuse as they are incapable of processing any of this as well as make any decisions.

What I want to know is why the big push to get children to take such drastic measures?

I live in a 2500 sq foot house and keep it at 64 and pay 525/mo but I never let it go below half way. I’m too lazy to do the math but I gave you all the pertinent numbers lol

Shoot some high powered rifles!

Oh no, red wine is more pure, definitely. As for Maple syrup, it is a matter of preference. I just prefer the best one. Light Amber is true nectar of the gods.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! I have some homework to do this weekend🤓

Hardcore, but pretty weak until it has been boiled down.

I recommend you go straight to the Dinnerhorn

Dunno, but you just reminded me how much I liked the tenders there lol

That’s funny- I’ve always gotten the tenders and immediately knew they were Sysco, and thought, “how the hell do they make them taste so good?!”

I worked at the Moat in highschool! Biggest regret was not stealing the recipes when I quit.

I think I still remember how to make the slaw but I haven't tried in years.

The short ribs are pretty simple. Just Sysco ribs smoked with mesquite and apple wood ~3x3" chunks, 50/50. Wood is absolutely soaked. They keep them submerged in buckets of water.

Can't remember the bbq sauce but everything was Sysco ingredients.

It isn't called the r/icecoast for nothing. Rather be on the mountain than not.

I live in that general area (south).

Some things:

• Try to find some candlepin bowling

• If you want to get a little bit of a drink on I recommend Over the Moon in Pittsfield (beautiful, meadery), Blasty Bough in Sanford (odd hours, very small/cozy brewery/farm. Very friendly and laid back. You may have a rooster try to intimidate you), and Chuck's Barbershop ok Concord (speakeasy/cocktails). I listed my 3 favorite places in a line from Gunstock down to Concord in order.

• Gunstock obviously has skiing

• Depending on the weather, Barrington has a very easy walk/hike, Stonehouse Pond.

• Portsmouth is awesome and great for tourists.

Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions. I'm 33 and I know the state pretty well up and down as long as it's east of Concord. Only time I go west of it is to go to VT.

I'm curious if you see all the same people when you go. I mean, I'm fairly certain that areas of the state have enough people for stores to be busy with different shoppers every day.

Don't think I've ever heard anyone wish they had a Shaws lmao
