Reply to Elections are over. Gas prices on the rise again. by SepticYawn

Why do people think the government of Connecticut is determining gas prices? Our average for regular gas is $3.36 according to AAA. Texas has the cheapest regular gas in the country at $3.13.

If you want to bitch, bitch to the oil companies, OPEC, and the idiots who want to stop the transition away from fossil fuels.

Fun move to go from an assumption to a statement of fact. Just to clue you in, that’s not how facts actually work. Nor would it matter if you found a majority of bigots to oppose this. It doesn’t make the bigotry right.

Why? They’re part of our society and just as valuable and worthy of understanding as anyone else. I’d say as valuable as you, but I know between a transgender person and you who I’d much rather have in my society.

Julian is a Mermaid is a fantastic book. It’s about a kid who is supported by family and treated kindly for expressing different interests and feelings and not following traditional gender norms regarding dress. He dresses like a mermaid for a mermaid parade.

Of course the right wing snowflakes are losing their minds at the idea of not presenting transgender people as anything but evil abominations.

Reply to Moving (Back) to Connecticut, Deciding Which Town/Area by AllTheSport2812

I also moved from NJ to CT and live in Avon. I’ve got an acre on the woods with a bigger home for less money than it cost me in NJ. Good neighbors, excellent schools, good food (including grocery stores) and shopping options close by. It’s a nice centralized location without being too crowded or too remote.
