Fun fact, costed is a word but has a slightly different meaning than the way you have used it.

Costed means to get the details on the cost of something complex. Like "I costed the three projects and the last one is cheapest"

You tried to use it as the past tense of cost, but the past tense of cost is also just cost.

Feature not a bug

This is something an LLM is actually very useful for. It can make it sound both legitimate, be verbose and generate many submissions with little human effort.

But like, how would they even investigate them? That's the part I don't understand. Whoever was peeing in there, they're gone by the time the cops show up. It doesn't take that long to pee.

Can we submit on a website? I can submit a million per day

I want to know how they "investigate" this bullshit. This is a complete waste of tax payers money...but since it's from the party of small gov. And saving money its ok cause we have to know who's got what equipment and going into what bathrooms.

All business's should just swap all their signs over to unisex and be done with this bullshit.

It's only 5 so far, reading the Bee Movie script takes a long time, especially when they have to keep stopping to sound out every other word.

Well, a huge chunk of those probably came from patriotic LGBT+ citizens cramming the reports with junk. Which is a good thing to do, but we wouldn't expect them to do more than a cursory check.

Never gonna catch me 👽

Which bathroom tho

I've been trying to explain to my less enlightened family for years that requiring a trans man to use the women's bathroom only makes it easier for men to just walk in since having a beard and a dad bod no longer means you have to use the men's room.

These laws just don't make any sense and can only make whatever they are afraid of (men hearing their wives and daughters tinkle, apparently) worse.

I've been saying that for a while. Not only does this open up many trans women to additional harassment, it also opens it up to any cis woman someone decides looks too masculine to be a "real" woman.

Based on that numbers it will be mostly cis woman who get harassed. There have been plenty of cases of it already. There was a few big ones in my state when people complaining that their daughters lost in sport

Conservatism has only ever been about the most superficial of ideals.

Many of them would have no issue at all with extending laws about gender to laws about appearance and I'm not even kidding. We have plenty of examples from right-wing governments and social trends of the past absolutely leaning into ideas like phrenology or inherent, essential qualities that go alongside things like hair and eye color.

You should be concerned for your friend, everyone should be concerned that if allowed to mature, conservatism in the US would throw us right back into a time when people can face legal penalties for what they choose to wear, for how they express themselves, for the shape of their face and a thousand other ways they would want to police the world around them so it continues to look the way they want it to look. And too bad if you don't look like someone who should live in that world.

And misogyny conditions to believe that all women are victims. They really aren't separate forces, they work together.

Eerybody needs feminism.

Why does sitting matter? I’m honestly asking because I remember my twenties and about half my friends (women) would just hover over the toilet seat. We’re all in our 40s now so I can pretty much drop the percentage to 10% hovering based on complaints about knee pain lol

Editing to add: I’m actually too short to have ever hovered over a toilet seat, I’m not advocating hovering, but that’s not even my point. Splashes can happen for any number of reasons. Y’all want to say only those who sit down should use the women’s bathroom and I’m here to tell you women are just as gross as men in their capacity to urinate onto the seat, regardless of plumbing.
