Seriously. Like imagine if a trans person used their preferred bathroom. I mean I don't, cause I don't care. But for people the right claims to hate, they have an odd fascination with them. Like how hard is it to just not give a fuck?

My energy is more valuable to me than being mad at a group of people who I have minimal interactions with. Wouldn't these pricks be happier just ODing on meth?

I'll give you this as an example, I drive Uber and have a mas presenting trans person. I call them by their preferred name and drive them where they wanna go. That's it, and it's never a problem. They told me about another driver that keeps making up mas names to call them in an attempt to antagonize them(?) I guess. I seriously can't imagine giving that much of a fuck about someone I don't even know.

But here I am giving that same energy to dipshit "conservatives". I guess we're all hypocrites.

Ehh being annoyed at someone else for being an asshole isn't equivalent to being annoyed that someone else exists. You don't seem hypocritical to me

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

Thanks homie, that actually means a lot to me.

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

The persecution of people is the point, not a means to an end. They just want to hurt people, it' their kink. They are fucked in the head. Like psychopathic, sociopathic, sadists etc...

They make up whatever arguments that justify them hurting people.

[-] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

I can't imagine antagonizing someone who you rely on for a tip and a rating.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

Really hope they dinged them with a one star.

[-] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

I haven't really checked since I've never needed to, but I imagine there's a way to report that they've harassed you, which presumably would be worse for them.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

I haven't really ever had any problems cause I'm a normal human who doesn't instantly hate things I don't understand/identify with. But I know when ranking riders you do have options such as ; no seatbelt, disrespectful, inappropriate conversation, and maybe smoking/vaping (?). I hope there is a harassment option, cause honestly, how hard is it to just call someone what they wanna be called‽ It literally takes less energy and causes less drama in your life. The worst part is I look like the homo erotic image they have about what masculinity is. I'm town standard deviations to the right of the bell curve in terms of largeness and I'm in fairly good shape. So they talk to me like I'm one of them regardless of I got super ally rainbow shoelaces on. Like are you that unobservant‽

Sorry I'm rambling. I just really don't like it when they confuse me for one of their rank and file, and since I moved to the corner of bum fucked and nowhere, it's been happening a lot lately.

Nothing says protecting people in the bathroom like constantly monitoring them and keeping track of everyone that uses them.

[-] griff@lemmings.world 4 points 1 week ago

Doing the lord’s work on every front to defend USA from what now?

[-] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I can't wait to get drafted then have my genitalia checked constantly by my CO.

[-] Saik0Shinigami@lemmy.saik0.com 8 points 1 week ago

It's a normal part of the military anyway... willy watching duty during drug tests is a thing. Gotta make sure the Joe isn't cheating the drug test.

I don't know what the other bathroom did... never asked or cared. But I will assume the stall door stayed open.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't be able to go. That is the truth! I was caught with some weed like 20 years ago and had to go to probation for 6 months. They tried to have me pee into a cup for 6 hours while he stood behind me. Couldn't do it. I had to get water after each try. Guy looked frustrated, and they started telling me what to do, I got so panicked I pushed as hard as I could and farted. The guy was a trooper, he looked confused and also definitely wanted to laugh but held his composure. They finally let me just use the stale even because what else can you do? Every follow up visit i was never asked for another random test, which is kind of normal if you don't look like your a problem, but I like to think its because I just can't do it.

defending US citizens, residents & guests from WHAT???

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

from stability, peace, and quiet.

remember: stressed, angry, distracted, undereducated, and poor people make good minimum wage employees and cannon fodder.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Present your bits for inspection.

[-] bassgirl09@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Totally not weird at all right? LOL.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Americans are so weird.

They're also so dumb that they can't see that this entire bathroom thing is just one giant distraction

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No shit. The solution is easy too. Make every bathroom non-gendered with ceiling to floor walls and doors on the stalls and cameras in the washing up area. Add a guard or attendant if you feel like you have to.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

We're not all like that. Shit like this blows my mind.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Oh, honey, only a dumb person speaks in absolutes like this.

But yes, most Republicans are indeed this stupid.

MOS 69M - Meat Gazer - every unit will have their personnel count bumped up to accommodate new METL tasks.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Nah, they'll just put whatever new guy on duty and he'll dick around in his phone all day. As long as the box gets checked.

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago

If they can't handle the person shitting in the stall next to them possibly having a different set of genitals than theirs, then how the fuck are they supposed to handle combat? What a bunch of absolute cowards.

[-] mang0@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

We'll need a private-watching private to stand guard

Purple hearts for the shitter patrol when?

[-] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Are they going to post a guard beside every urinal?

[-] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I would say, logically, that the urinals aren't going to be uh monitored as only one set of genitalia generally uses urinals (normally).

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

What do you think? How many months until they will let an AI take pictures of your junk and evaluate a toilet for you?

[-] Agrajag@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 1 week ago

All toilets will be state mandated to have one of those awful "smile you're being filmed" stickers

[-] kikutwo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Gee I feel so much safer wtf

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

WHY would anyone, in this day and age, volunteer to become a fascist bootlicking piece of shit member of the military? I can’t respect anyone who is ok with this.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Because abusing your fellow Americans sounds like fun?

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The only republicans worried about this issue are the ones who have sucked random dicks off of Craigslist or something
