There are a lot of racist hippies there who hate PoC moving in, and they try to coach it as criticism of, specifically, Amazon. I guess they figure everyone hates Amazon.

You can also tell because it usually takes them another 4 seconds before they start explicitly whining about Muslims and Indians etc.

Looking to learn about puberty blockers for a trans girl 

My step-kid is a 12-year old trans girl and wants to start taking puberty blockers. We don't know what the process is like, what hoops she'll have to jump through, etc. Her psychiatrist didn't know either (she is planning to get back to us, likely with a referral though). We would appreciate it if anybody can point us at a good resource! We live in the US. (Florida)

Hot EPA take 

Twenty year olds back in the day looked forty because they were surrounded by secondhand smoke, exhaust from huge ineffecient cars, and all kinds of industrial pollutants their entire lives.

@melissasage Ok, so.

Flask-- It's the simplest framework for turning Python code into answering web requests, without doing a lot of repetitive stuff that just implements the shared guts of all web servers.

Best if: you have a medium-to-heavy weight app you want to implement, particularly one that isn't organized like a typical web site.

Maybe don't use it if: your site is very small and doesn't need much customization OR very large and needs much organisational support

See below for a picture of the original version; the rerelease appears to have silver accents rather than gold, but looks otherwise identical.

"I think we’ll be cushioned by amazing technological development and sitting on Salvation Army furniture. Everything else will be crumbling. Government surveillance becomes inevitable because there’s this dilemma when you have an increase in information storage. A lot of it is for your convenience – but as more information gets on file it’s bound to be misused." ~ David Byrne in 1979
