You'll almost always find what you're looking for in your own history list within seconds.

You're presuming everyone has a history list. I don't. I specifically have it turned off. As someone else above mentioned, I bookmark whatever I want. No need for a history if you have what you want.

It's pretty rare to treat bible text literally. The bible is God's words interpreted by men.

Say what? The Bible IS the word of god. Those words are literally, in the truest sense of the word, in that little book. Those exact words, the word of god, are quoted by a multitude of Christians. A simple search shows site after site from Christians adamantly stating the Bible is god's literal words.

As for rarity, again, a multitude of Christians will tell you the text of the bible must be taken literally. Granted, those same Christians don't do what they say and pick and choose which parts to take literally (mixing and matching of fabrics anyone?), but they do take it literally, fire and brimstone and all.

They can do whatever they want in that regard.

What right to they have to do anything to anyone else? Would they like it if Satanists started doing something similar? It's none of their business who a person is if that person wasn't part of their cult.*

This is one of many problems with mentally ill religious people. They stick their noses in everyone else's business when they have no right to do so.

By definition, all religions are cults but not all cults are religions.

Where did I deny that some women might feel uncomfortable pulling up her skit with some creepy guy in the next stall? Everything I pointed to says that very thing. With all the rapes and assaults that men do against women, it's no wonder many women don't want to be alone with an unfamiliar man. As I said, that's why Japan has women only trains. Because women were, and still are, perennially assaulted because men can't control themselves, so the only solution is not have men around.

Of course what would be nice is if all those mentally ill Christian men who are terrified of their own shadows would follow their little book. Start with Matthew 18:8-9. Perhaps their problem isn't with others, but with themselves because clearly they are more worried about what's between a person's legs than being a decent person and letting someone take a piss or shit in peace. They've probably never read John 15:12 or Matthew 7:12 or Luke 6:31.

And who said I was for safe spaces on campus? Isn't that what Republicans are calling for with the protests against Israel deliberately killing journalists, medical personnel, and civilians? They're calling for safe spaces.

What is a "veritable gold mine"? How do I get one verited?

Dictionaries. They're a thing. You might want to reference one if you have questions.

You should qualify that as the "Roman Catholic Church".

Nope. Catholics, Christians, and Jews to be more specific. Not that any other religions don't have child rape and molestation, only that these are the predominant ones in the U.S. who do so.

If you meant in Spain, then yes, Roman Catholic Church.

On the other hand I've heard a lot of women online arguing that there need to be female-only spaces because they don't feel safe.

Complete the thought. Women need female-only spaces because they don't feel safe around men. Why do you think Japan has women-only trains? It's the same reason that over half of women say they'd rather encounter a bear in the woods than a man.

This nonsense about "overriding" rights of one group by another is a non sequitor. There is no "right" being overriden. Someone needs to take a piss or shit. That's it. It's the same pathetic argument about gay marriage. The mentally ill religous folks will claim gays and lesbians are getting special rights if they're allowed marry. How? In what way is allowing two people to marry any different just because they're the same sex?

If you're that worried that someone different might use the same restroom as you, there is a simple solution. Don't use a public restroom. As an aside, bills such as this are the exact same type used to prevent blacks from using the same restrooms as whites. Won't someone think of the children!

The rational of the bill is a fear of transgender people in women's restrooms.

Oddly enough, no one ever talks about women going into men's restrooms. The same with lesbian sex. People such as those in Utah will whine about gay sex, but they will always men sex between two (or more) men. Never between women.

Funny that.

Utah's LDS folks have been doing geneological databases for a long time, and their work has always seemed pretty proficient and secure.

When you're baptising non-Mormons after they die, and penalizing those who speak up against the practice, you better believe their database needs to be secure.

You mean the people who shelled out $12,000 to $15,000 several years ago based on hype and still haven't seen anything they've paid for? Or the people who recently shelled out $8,000 for the same "feature" which doesn't exist while all those other people don't get a refund? Or the people who keep saying it's just around the corner year after year?

That's not the definition of invenstment. That's called scamming.

No worse than that guy who couldn't be bothered to check his surroundings and ran over his kid.

Anyone who has been following tech has seen this same sob story for decades. There is always an excuse why they can't find the "right" people. Even when there are recessions and people are being laid off left and right, "We can't find anyone!".

Here's a small idea which could be implemented right now. Get rid of your shitty software which filters out anyone who doesn't have the exact words in their CV that you're looking for. Hire minions to manually review all the resumes and CVs which come in and I can guarantee you'll find the people you need.
