while you apparently can transform from human corpse to a drake

Did you just assume my species?

First - pretty movie vampires were pretty humans before they got vampired. Second - why in the fuck would a necromancer raise a vampire with free will? Face it 'pretty' boy, you'll be stuck in a cave trying to kill adventurers who never visit. You'll be talking to rats after the first month of solitude. You'll lose your undeath virginity to a lost mountain goat. The first time a girl will be around your cave, she'll notice how it smells like a homeless man who hasn't changed his underwear in years and avoid the cave entirely. You'll feel like spiking yourself in the heart because you had gotten used to the smell, but you won't even be able to do that - you're a necromancer's minion. You have no choice in how you live or die. You're just a smelly guardian of an uninteresting cave.

I'll take undead drake. I'm doing some epic shit before I die, not just guarding some cave.

That's fucking rich, let me tell you. Because I'm an unwilling crowdstrike user who just today had another issue - we received a company-wide email that our PCs will be slowed down because crowdstrike is experiencing another botched update that makes it take up too much memory/CPU to do it's shady fucking background work.

I'm getting 5 second delays trying to snap a screenshot and they have the gall to complain about commentary. Here's some fucking commentary for you: I've hired interns who were more principled than your entire company when it comes to pushing to production. Wanna try doing the same for like, 30 consecutive days? Or are you branching out into selling "it has been X days since the last global incident" t-shirts? Cause at least that'd be one useful product climbing out of that shithole of a company.

This is a band-aid that does nothing to fix the problem. This kind of "solution" was implemented in my country as well. The direct result was an increase in housing prices across the board.

The problem isn't that people are lacking the money for a downpayment. The problem is that volatility in the job market combined with ever increasing prices means you can't commit to buy a place of your own and pay it for the next 30 years, because the first time you lose your job you'll have lost all progress towards owning your home.

The fix you want is government-built housing. Make a neighborhood with government money. Sell the apartment for 1/3 of the price if the buyer is a teacher/fireman/doctor/other high-demand jobs in governmental employ. That way you fill the positions, the housing prices stop going up, and young people get to securely purchase a house before they're 50.

But of course, that's not the end-goal, is it? No the objective is to make more money for those who already own all the land and houses. And there's no need to spend time thinking about it, just make some fucking vouchers. We all know who'll end up cashing them in.

religious university

medical school

Alright class, now that we've removed the patient's lungs, we're gonna pray he gets better. Yes, I see a raised hand in the back row?

Yes, sorry - doesn't he need a lung to survive?

Right, good catch. We're first going to pray he grows a lung. Yes, you with the notebook?

Who will be doing the closing?

That'll be sister Jane. Sister, 12 "hail Marys" and a closing prayer, please. Class dismissed.

And then I guess y'all watch as the man flatlines while the nuns go "please give this one some sutures God, I promise I'll be good from now on" and "God, if ever you were going to grow organs, please, now's the time. The man can't breathe. It's not his fault"

Sounds like a good time. Do they give degrees or do you need to pray to get hired?

What the fuck do you mean they "continue to violate federal law". Isn't this why you have this massive defense budget for? Where's the fucking army, America? Where's the navy busting in and laying down the law? Where are the drones? Why isn't the airforce out there bombing the doctors and nurses? Why the fuck is the FBI not responding? Where are the CIA and NSA and other three-lettered dipshits? HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A FUCKING CIVIL WAR AGAINST WOMEN AND YOU DO LITERALLY NOTHING ABOUT IT?

How in the fuck does this actually happen more than exactly once before it is swiftly met with disproportionate retaliation and superior firepower?

Pffft you youngsters with your fancy medicine. If he bleeds long enough THAT'LL KILL THE TETANUS.

Nope. That's it. This is literally what people want her dead for.

Draw your own conclusion on who's crazy, but this is all she has ever expressed - that she takes pride/has suffered in being a woman, and also she is kinda gatekeeping the title and saying trans women don't know that suffering. Which is actually true when you think about it - trans women presumably grew up as boys, and were not forced to adhere to the womanly gender roles or told they would be shit at career x or y, were never afraid of being raped in a dark alley, were never afraid of how much they had to drink or if they left their drink unsupervised for a moment...

Of course trans people aren't getting the right treatment either, but all this lady has ever said is that her experience as a woman is fundamentally different from theirs, and wants it acknowledged that women have these issues. This is what everyone is attacking her for.
