“We think this is already covered by clear Supreme Court precedent,” said Patrick Elliott, the legal director for the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Unfortunately, the current surpreme court does not care about precedent.

The school already had single stall bathrooms for fuck sake! I use a non-gender conforming bathroom at work all the time even though it’s labeled “men” and “women” because I can close the door and no one can see me and it’s exactly the same as the other! And using kids pronouns? You use kids pronouns all the time, just this time you use the one they want.

Close-minded people trying to ruin literal children’s education because they are too fragile of snowflakes to take the signs off of bathrooms and use a different pronoun than they feel is “right”. Honestly, it’s good this came out, because the kids would have probably been bullied anyway from the kids with shitty parents. Now the parent can pick a more appropriate school.

Mr. Bizkit will not be taking questions regarding the reasoning behind his analysis and has, in fact, become quite agitated.

And I bet some of them grow only under really specific conditions.

Except, as we’ve found in this thread, Germany is cool with shooting down drones over your property but the US is not.

I wondered why I didn’t see it (American).

Presence of some supreme creator may not be proven or disproven, but I think most of the anti-evolution stuff and similar things in most mainstream religions would face more questions when scientific temper improves.

And religions can evolve with this (or die from declining membership), as long as the leaders don’t stick to the “These actually scientifically proven facts are lies sent by the Devil” line.

Here’s a screencap:

You forgot wrapped up in culture wars.

Security theater, just like signatures for credit cards. At least they’re doing away with those.

The fact that he did a “prove me wrong” instead of a “here’s the proof” tells me, at minimum, had a suspicion that the proof had no merit.

But they defer to the states in legal states.

Crossing state lines is interstate commerce, and that is federal jurisdiction.

However, he is crossing 3 state lines in the process, breaking federal law.

I do drive-by compliments too, especially if someone is sporting a fandom I like. I think it’s different when it’s a stranger complimenting a body feature - it implies sexual attraction which can feel objectifying and, unfortunately in the world we live in, unsafe. I don’t know this person, I just know they felt comfortable enough to anonymously shout a comment about a sexual part of my body, so what else do they feel comfortable enough to do?

jeffw is news articles mostly.

I think it’s about power or a different mindset (as in, “they will take it as a compliment”). And the “Bitch” was only after I didn’t turn around to look at them when they yelled the “compliment”, I think. They didn’t get the response they wanted so they determined I was a bitch.

No, more like “Hey, baby!” and “Nice ass!” A couple of times they yelled, “Bitch!” or something similar after, which makes me feel a bit threatened so I watch for the car the rest of the walk, which is annoying and inconvenient.

I’m glad to hear that, and glad you had someone to push you through as well! Thanks for sharing!

I feel the same way.

There was an article about a boarding school that gave all the students dumb phones. I wonder if that’s an option, like schools issue kids computers.
