I'd recommend US Bank.

Now that's what I call job security.

Because voluntary association isn't really allowed in the United States. You are forced to associate with people you don't want to, for a variety of reasons.

It's a distinct possibility. What's more likely is that this person is an example of someone robbed of their own agency, either intentionally or not. It leads to becoming dependent…

At the end of the day it's about integrity. One of my relatives is an MtF transwoman now. Her wife was the first person she told about it, and they are still together, with a daugh…

Their humiliation ritual is just beginning.

On the contrary, it is the creation of synthetic life that reaffirms humanity and what it means to be human. Don't blame the mirror for what you see (or don't see).

The counterpoint is that we must formalize the rights of sentient synthetic beings. The Emergency Medical Hologram gained sentience and was horrified to find his next version was r…
