I'm probably speaking out of turn here, but reporting a previous name is a simple matter of security, not deadnaming. I'm not trans, but I use my stepfather's surname and changed to that legally when I was 18. If someone called me by my mom's abuser's name to my face I would be distraught, but when forms ask me for prior legal names I just list it and it's not a big deal. It's just an identity thing.

The form isn't asking "what's your real name?" it's asking "have you ever been known by any other legal names?"

I am firmly anti-Russia, but I don't hate Russians. I am anti-China, but I don't hate Chinese people. I am anti-Israel, but I don't hate Israelis or Jewish people.

I doubt the vast majority of Americans would bat an eye at the first two statements. Why is the third one somehow more problematic than the first two?

The only reasonable way for many of us to have an EV right now is to also have an ICE vehicle for the things the EVs we can afford can't do.

My wife and I have pushed having one car between us to its limit so we're looking for an EV for regular local driving, but we really can't risk having only an EV since the ones we can afford are all very small and not AWD. Should be able to replace a lot of our ICE driving but not all.

And while they're at it, they very directly propped up Trump as well. Hillary Clinton is responsible for everything Trump did.

Am I missing something, or does Uranus look almost exactly the same in the Voyager 2 and reprocessed images? The reprocessed one just looks a tiny bit brighter.
