Conservatives have always been good at framing the narrative. It helps them convince people to believe things that are simply not true. This is not a new strategy. It has been working for them for 60 years.
They really are. My mom is “pro-life” and religious, but when I interviewed her about exactly what she believed, she said birth is hard and would never want to force anyone to do it. I’m like… You’re pro choice then.
Death Tax, entitlements, handouts, illegal immigrants, family values, conservatives are really good at drawing arbitrary lines around their own group and then using doublespeak to make everyone else seem unreasonable. Tomes have been written on the subject.

Just do individual bathrooms you can close. Everyone prefers them anyway, why wouldn’t you want to have an entire space you can lock down and do your business and move at your own pace?
Wtf are you taking about😂 it’s just 2 bathrooms. 1 occupant each. It’s not complicated. Turn the men’s into single use and the women’s into single use. Simple. This is only a problem for venues that want to heard people into bathrooms like cattle.
If we had enough incentive to be a judge for a year, i think that there would be a lot of competent volunteers. I try to be an optimist, but it hardly works out.
Here's why. Does anyone even know what the paralympics even is? Looking from the comments below, I sincerely doubt they do.
The paralympics is basically "The Paralympic Games or Paralympics, also known as the Games of the Paralympiad, is a periodic series of international multisport events involving athletes with a range of disabilities."
So do you know what this is exactly saying? This is saying that Transgenderism is a disability. That is giving more ammo to all of the bigots out there who've been crying about how Transgenderism is just a choice and that it's all wrong .etc
I cannot say that I'm fully in support of this. I would've been more proud if a Transgender individual made it to the Olympics and was breaking ground for their group. But no, this is them being in the backburners of society for pity points.
Petrillo, 50, was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a degenerative condition of the eyes, at the age of 14. She competes in the women’s T12 category for athletes with a visual impairment.
The headline was to show a groundbreaking event. If she were the first black woman to compete in the Paralympics, that is what the headline would say. And no one, save maybe you, would think that meant being black was a disability.
How is it that a judge can just decide somebody can be arrested for no other reason than “they didn’t like their attitude”? If a crime hasn’t been committed and a person hasn’t been arrested, how does the judge have any say over what a private citizen is doing? I would expect them to have to have slightly more leeway over their courtroom and they can have people escorted out or whatever, but just being able to detain people for no reason seems like an abuse of power? Across the board it seems like the Judicial branch has too much power.
We should have written something when the country was formed. Maybe some stuff about unlawful detention or false imprisonment. A fair and speedy trial would be cool. Maybe we prevent cruel and unusual punishment while we are at it
Do be clear, it doesn’t sound like she was actually arrested or actually detained at any point. The judge said he intended having her put on jail clothes and handcuffs to frighten her into taking court seriously, like a “life lesson” thing. It sounds like she mouthed off at him after he asked her to pay attention. His goal was to “scare her straight,” but he definitely should not have tried to reach her this way
Edit: I guess I’m being downvoted by people who think this judge did the right thing? Geez
Unlawful police detention is when law enforcement, without legal justification, restricts your freedom to leave.
You are being downvoted because you are wrong. Don’t try to spin it as if anyone thinks this was the right thing to do. It sounds EXACTLY like she was detained
Judges have a lot of leeway to hold people in contempt of court. But because the US is so big and has so many judges, you’re bound to get a few shitty ones.
Bullshit, they are trying to kneecap ad blocking to protect their bottom line. They could have protected people from sketchy add one without fucking up ublock
Or have education about how much piss goes everywhere when you pee. In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time, it is a cultural issue and can be changed. That said, if you do urinals, make them stalls too, I don’t want to chat with my pee neighbour.
How did I know you are going to point that out. So smart.
Here is the part of the comment above you, that you disagreed with:
In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time.
Emphasis in bold courtesy of mine to help with reading comprehension to what comes next, namely the quote from the link I gave you:
Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%). Add those who do so “most times” (22%), and you get the result shown on the map.
Urinals can be spaced more closely than regular toilets. Only problem is that women (or anyone with female-appearing anatomy) don’t have a nice way of using them.
All this moral panic about gendered bathrooms had been debunked ages ago. The TERF propaganda machine just kept throwing more and more fearmongering our way. It is good to hear that some countries take steps against this neo-segregation insanity.
