That is a pretty good reason.

I mean, she is prettier than Marx. Which one did you want to date?

“I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new fediverse!”

Tsch, that’s the opening sequence.

“You have broken free! Now what do you want to do?”

Ooh, living life dangerously.

I would not like to have that as a finger habit!

If you read the clues, yes.

Time to expand the Empire again.

Edit: “it’s not an empire, it’s one big country!”

Then it proves none of us can observe, or it would have collapsed!

Also I feel The Quantum Duck should be a James Bond-esque spy, but a duck.

Erm, not sure this is a nsfw space…

Failed. It asked for one duck.

Is there no one in the replies here who thinks women have a legitimate discomfort, or unsafe feeling, having men around in a toilet space, even if the men aren’t actively being harmful?

No women here who had difficult upbringings with men? No men whose daughter or sister or female friend feels uncomfortable letting certain barriers down around strange men?

Of course there is an important discussion about how bathroom culture changes as society’s acceptance of trans people changes.

But, OP, I think what you would do best beyond what you said, is to acknowledge that some women have a legitimate concern, even if there’s not an easy answer. Once you have that point of agreement - once the other person can see you care about the concern they’re coming from - you have a foundation for discussing a real problem and/or solution.

Otherwise you’re just buttimg heads to win, and asking an internet echo chamber to adjudicate.

99% of people don’t actually care if you’re not being a creep.

I don’t think that’s true. I think there’s a lot of women who don’t feel comfortable/safe in a vulnerable space with men around. And even though one mightn’t actually undress outside the individual toilet cubicles, it’s still - to many - that kind of space.

I think it’s important to respect women’s (and men’s) desire for privacy - even when not all women feel the same need for privacy - through this cultural change of who uses what bathroom.

And that goes doubly when you expand beyond a particular subset of America to different cultures and people with different experiences.

Culture and common understanding. The sense of shame he’d get from everyone around saying, why are you in the wrong toilet? And the potential for escalation if he doesn’t turn back and leave.

Changing culture means new adaptation to what’s comfortable, what feels safe, and how you can interact with a stranger without getting the police involved. We have to adapt: but that change is a legitimate difficulty/concern for women who don’t feel safe doing their ‘toilet’ with men around.

I saw an article about one trained on research papers. (Built by Meta, maybe?) It also spewed out garbage: it would make up answers that mimicked the style of the papers but had its own fabricated content! Something about the largest nuclear reactor made of cheese in the world…

It also gives context for what way things could be worse. Compared to a completely dissociated suggestion like, “the entire universe didn’t spontaneously turn into farts therefore this isn’t the worst timeline.”

It demonstrates how things could be worse, but aren’t.

Cheese is the answer. The worst possible timeline would not have cheese.

how does one use the dark web?

I think Firefox has a toggle for it these days. Your Android phone can also turn it on automatically when the lights get low or after 7pm.

Like, getting a hitman for a friend? Or getting a hitman for a friend?
