  • So The Economy could collectively chip in and offer up to $7.0 billion in incentives to the workers not to engage in the stoppage and still come out ahead of the game.

  • Did the people on the line go out for to Sous slot?

    If you beat them out for the role there'll likely be animosity.

    If they didn't even try, a 30-40 yo line cook may be happy prepping mise and schlepping peas, and doesn't want any part of the unpaid overtime you just signed up for.

  • I told no one to do any thing.

    If a person walks up to you and says, "I wish I could buy some cocaine!" it's not entrapment to tell them there's a dude who sells it in the park.

    Whatever goes on in that park is between the people doing it.

    You can tell a person their wishes can come true and not be encouraging them to peruse them.

  • Can you really say that was advocating?

    I didn't Nathaniel Demerest anyone into wishing they could do things.
    I just told a person how they could do a thing they're already expressed a wish to do.

  • Why do you want to other trans people?

    There's alot of other ways you could have divided bathroom use but you ignored race, occupation, sexual orientation, housing status, handedness, whether they support the Yanks or the Mets, if-or-not they wear flip flops, number 1 or number 2, time since their last covid test, attractiveness, their tact when sniffed, and dick size.

    Could have segregated bathrooms by any the above categories but you chose to suggest a bathroom for (presumably cisgender) Man, a bathroom for (presumably cisgender) Women, and an "Other" bathroom occupied by people who are not just not men and not women (whose absence of a space "for" them is a salient if side point) but people who very much fit within the binary categories "Man" and "Woman" but you still want separate, with the odd, ends, and enbys, from the Cis People bathroom.

    Think about why it is you want a "Cis People Bathroom".
    Don't even think about the invasion of genital privacy or general propriety required to effect the border you wish to erect.

    Think about why this is a thing you want.
    Why you want people, who have genders—which are every bit as real as yours—, to have to expel the semi-solid remains of food and wastes and toxins filtered from their blood in a separate room from you.
    What is it about these people that makes their shit stink more (or less) enough to warrant their doing so separately?

    Surely it's not as simple as "Their gender turned out differently than a 13-second-old genital exam told them that it should, for which they need be punished."

    Respect if that's it. "Fuck Trans People." Not the way I'd go with things, but it's an ethos.

    I don't think that's it, though.
    You seem nice enough I doubt naked bigotry compels your actions.
    You seem well-informed enough—further—to know just how expensive a "fuck you" a third for every second bathroom would be just to keep a percentage point the populace apart 'pon poop and piss.

    So if it's not naked bigotry, and it wouldn't be very effective bigotry even if it was, what is it that makes you think trans people need to not be around people who aren't trans during the 15/1440 minutes a day the average ass spends on a toilet?

  • The 11 year old girl the judge sided with is one of the "little girls being uncomfortable with it".

  • I think I’ll go with Star Wars might allow me to use the force.

    If the force you're referencing is suction.

  • Where can I get this mouse?

    I can't help you, but if you're just interested in drinking mouse water (an endeavor I do not encourage) and don't care what company gets associated with your death when people search the news story,

    can I interest you in Popcicle, Delta Faucets, Star Wars, or injectable beta-1a interferon?

  • The first is Save the future! The Leader's "Time Traveler" by Viktor Poberezhnykh

    Stalin gets in touch with Putin so that he can bring him back on to the right track, by declaring martial law and going to war with the United States.

    The second is Crusader from the future: Commander from the Future Crusader series.

    Our contemporary, abandoned in Antimir, where almost all of medieval Europe was conquered by Muslims, becomes the Commander of the knightly Order of the Holy Cross and the last hope of Christian civilization. Let all the former Commanders fall either from an enemy saber on the battlefield, or from a dagger and poison of assassins, and the Order itself, defeated by the Arabs, is on the verge of complete destruction; let the “popadanets” barely own cold weapons and sit on a horse like a dog on a fence, and against him are Polish pans, and corrupt clergymen, and warlocks, and Ugrians (Hungarians) who converted to Islam, but the Crusader from the future has 20 years of service behind him in the Soviet special forces, on the belt - the legendary blade, according to legend, belonged to John Chrysostom himself

    The first author is reference here though the second is not.

  • That cover is of Assyrian Tanks at the Gates of Memphis by Mikhail Akhmanov from 2008.

    I am afraid I have not read it.
    You will probably find more hits for the author if you type his name in Cyrillic: Михаил Ахманов

    Here is a blurb

    The fastest things to undergo change in this world are weapons. Just a few millennia, and the sword and the chariot are replaced by machineguns and tanks. The slowest thing to change is human nature. If the soul is black, if it desires another's blood, then even centuries of civilization can't change it. But if it has bravery and love, then even the worst hardships won't force a man to run away or betray. No matter what enemy he has to fight. Be it with the Germans near Moscow or with the Assyrian soldiers airdropped at the foot of the Egyptian Pyramids. Which means, "Get up, the land of Amun Ra, fight to the death, defeat the Assyrian disease, the cursed horde!"
