    Protecting the Innocence of Children

    I approve of your platform. You have my vote, and I shall donate to your campaign. Though I'm obliged to point out that ancient people, trans or not, had little access to Baggies. Basically all they had was the discarded lunch-bags of careless time travellers.

    Question on the Press and Privacy

    You make good points. Not saying I agree, I'd argue that protecting the identity of a victim (if there is a victim) is not as important as letting the public know what the top cop is up to. But you make good points.

    I do like a good display of properly-cared-for tools! But what's that second picture?

    Protecting the Innocence of Children

    OK, first. . . yes in the general case. The owner of a property may limit the "license" granted to visitors in any (lawful) way the owner chooses, and violation of those limits is trespass. The operative word here is "lawful." There are ways that, by law, an owner may not limit the license...

    Protecting the Innocence of Children

    Clarification unnecessary. Whatever your role in this little dwama (or even if you've never been in such a dwama) if you're a 7-year-old boy your parents better damn well suck it up and give you a talkin' to. The locker room is a lousy place to receive Sex Ed teaching.

    Protecting the Innocence of Children

    But are they illegal? Every once in a while down in these parts, you hear about somebody being arrested for being in the "other" washroom, usually women who got sick of the queue for the women's room. They get arrested for "suspicion of indecent exposure" or "disturbing the peace" or some...

    Question on the Press and Privacy

    That can be redacted. It just seems to me that hiding misconduct under a "personnel matters" cover is a little dishonest. If True Dope's government was doing it (as I'm sure it is), y'all'd be screaming blue murder.

    No sarcasm at all. It was funny and clever.

    Protecting the Innocence of Children

    I guess my question is. . . if naughty-bits flashing, or sex acts, or solicitation are illegal in public washrooms, aren't they already equally illegal regardless of the genders of the perpetrator and the victims? And if they're not illegal, why is this just coming up now? Is the moral or...

    Question on the Press and Privacy

    Story This seems wrong to me. I get it when a politician resigns "to spend more time with family." Politicians are basically self-employed, and it's up to the press to dig up the reasons. And I get why the average Joan shouldn't have the reasons for her firing disclosed publicly. Even if...

    Protecting the Innocence of Children

    Beats the hell outta me. Probably because they didn't have single-occupant, genderless public washrooms in Happy Days. I've seen some places that actually gendered their single-occupant washrooms. Never did figure out why.

    And yet he was designated a "boy" in the first place because he had a dick.

    Minnesota: Protests after man shot by police dies

    So. . . she got to shoot a Black kid in the back AND recovered her bikini bod? What's not to love? Wonder if she's figured out the whole gun/taser thing yet.

    Yeah, they're doing that increasingly in new buildings down hereabouts. And yes, the right-wingers are having conniption fits about it.

    Space Thread

    Elon Schmuck can afford it. The important question is. . . When Elon launches the world's biggest bottle rocket, is it an American spacecraft, a Canadian spacecraft, or a South African spacecraft?
