100%. I listened to about 30 minutes of a whackamole show run by the family of a conspiracy broadcaster who died of COVID. A solid five minutes was spent "cleverly" hinting at words they'd be using to avoid saying words that they believed would get them delisted.

I mean we make bank tellers pay for robbers (they split the bill with the security guard). Right? Blame is one thing. Liability is something else altogether. We can all go back to plain text email without attachments in that case.

I'm a 50-something GenXer that loves TikTok. The broad spectrum of interesting ideas and people is fascinating. I've never seen these viral dances and stuff, at least since my first login. My feed matches my tastes almost too well. In addition, the Millennials and Gen Z people into the same stuff don't seem to care about my age, and engage normally. It's really nice.

Kidding aside, I have trouble believing species like Phiddipus are in trouble, especially considering how many of us baby them, build little empires for them, release their slings, etc. There's so many of them in my area they're fighting on our mailbox.

For folks trying to resolve POTS, instant or constant pressure and pulse would be awesome. I know most of us here are probably aging Gen X anyway, so it's a matter of time for some of us; I'm already wishing for a way to track it quickly without hassle.

Or young men in Norway entering compulsory military service?

"We have whole boatloads of activists, who think it's cool and progressive to plaster people's private sexual problems all over...that's the reason for laws like the one in TFA

Oh, but the creator and sponsors of the bill will tell you that this has nothing at all to do with transgender people. This is really about protecting women in bathrooms, don't you see?

Transgender people, who would be LED OUT IN CUFFS if they followed your advice to "use the other restroom," are merely collateral damage in the battle against men sexually assaulting women in women's bathrooms (in a subset of government buildings).

So tell us, do you approve of this bill, and why?

Sorry for re-replying, cleaning up my formatting and adding more about why this Child Molesters will love this bill:
--
Before the "Bathroom Bill" Molester: I love Texas! I can grope whoever I want and not go to jail!

--
  After the "Bathroom Bill" Molester: Extremely feminine transgender women and 7-year-old boys are forced to use the men's room by themselves in a subset of government buildings!

No one has a job because every tech company pulled out of Texas, but...I'm applying for every government job I can! I'm still not on the sex offenders list!

Molester (kneels reverantly): Thanks to Jesus Christ and Dan Patrick!

This is not a rights issue or a bathroom issue.

A bill that dictates who can use the bathroom is not a rights issue or a bathroom issue?

What color is the sky in your world?

As a Texan, I've been reading about this bill for almost a year now. Here's some context around it:

1) Texas still has some of the most molester-friendly groping laws in the nation (anything short of penetration is a class C misdemeanor, you won't even go to jail for it). This bill does nothing to address it.

2)The driving force behind the bill is revenge on the federal government for dictating that transgender students can use the restroom of their identified gender (a policy that is strongly supported by local school districts). That's why the bill only applies to government buildings (and a subset of those, at that!).

3)The bill's author, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick (not the sportscaster) got his start as a bargain-bin Rush Limbaugh. He realizes that the "social conservatives" lost the fight against gays, and he's using this to target a smaller, even more vulnerable minority.

Can you point us to some statistics that show

a)there's an epidemic of men in women's bathrooms committing assaults?

b)making extremely feminine transgender women go into men's bathrooms will somehow reduce assaults?

c)a law that only applies to SOME GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS will have any effect on this "epidemic"?

To put it bluntly, you've been duped by Dan Patrick and his hate squad. Don't kid yourself-this law does nothing to protect women or any victims of sexual assault. Do you think that bush-league Rush Limbaugh gives a shit about whether or not women get sexually assaulted?

It's mainly an impotent revenge play on the federal government for dictating that transgender students can use the restroom of their identified gender (a policy that is strongly supported by local school districts). If it passes, it will do untold economic damage to Texas, and INCREASE sexual assaults.

If you are a Texan, make sure you know how your state lawmakers voted, and make sure you tell them they're getting VOTED OUT if they supported this petty, oppressive law that has no place in the freedom-loving state of Texas.

Straight men dressed as women commit rapes in women's bathrooms.

Not only do you need to prove that this is true (spoiler alert: it's not), you also need to prove that the law would do anything to change this.

The real context around this law is

1)"Social conservatives" lost the battle against the gays, so they are starting a new battle against a smaller, even more vulnerable minority.

2)"Small-government conservatives" resent the federal governments above, and local school districts below, having sane policies about transgender student bathroom use. Notice that the law ONLY APPLIES TO GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS (and even that has some expections). If there was an epidemic of cross-dressing rapists, wouldn't it make more sense to have this law apply to private businesses as well?

3)The author of the bill, Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, is a minor-league Rush Limbaugh that somehow got elected to high office. He's a grandstanding idiot that doesn't care how many transgender teens commit suicide, so long as he can rile up his base with this fake crisis.

Just don't say Hey Siri, Alexa, Playstation, or OK Google when you're drowning someone in the bathtub and you're probably good to go.

Nearly identical experience here. The message I got was that mastery of the previous 20 years worth of editions of the software made zero difference if I hadn't used the most recent edition in production.
