They are so fucking weird
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
Thanks homie, that actually means a lot to me.
I can’t imagine antagonizing someone who you rely on for a tip and a rating.
Really hope they dinged them with a one star.
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.
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.
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.
What does “mas” mean? I thought it was a typo for male, but you said it twice, so I’m not sure it’s a typo anymore, lol
Masculine
Like how hard is it to just not give a fuck?
When you’re not very intelligent and you don’t have a lot going on in your life, it’s actually really hard to not give a fuck about stupid shit. What else are conservatives going to do? Further their education?
Well, they’re the party currently going to the ends of the Earth to protect pedophiles, so…pretty on brand.
With all th the shit, no pun intended, going on in the world, you would think they would have bigger fish to fry than who pisses where.
Nothing says protecting people in the bathroom like constantly monitoring them and keeping track of everyone that uses them.
Doing the lord’s work on every front to defend USA from what now?
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.
I’ve reached a point where I refuse any longer to hold any reverence or respect for current military. Just like cops. The military cock worship of parades, holidays, and discounts everywhere needs to go away.
How about discounts for teachers, or road workers, or social workers.
For me, it’s a complete distaste for people that keep trying to slowly soft-boot a “military class” inside our society, by way of all the things you mention. The Romans had one of those; no thanks. Yes, let’s throw more goodwill and financial support to people taking care of our kids and infrastructure instead.
I’m proud of you making that change consciously, but damn you held on for a long time.
people don’t get respect for what group they belong to. they get respect for who they are
A lot of these people were in the military before the second Trump admin made it obvious that they’re going to have to work for an actual fascist dictatorship.
Secondly, for a lot of young people, the G.I Bill is the only real way to afford an education. You know that whole student debt issue that is crippling people financially for decades? Joining the military is a way to bypass that.
The uncomfortable pill is that at any point in the last many decades (ie: after abolishment of the draft) there was no good reason to join. WMDs? Known lie. Vietnam and not drafted? Known lie. (Tonkin was a lie)
That GI bill part is so very true and sad. It’s on purpose, of course. Expensive college and poor people means … more fodder.
The last honorable war we were in was WWII, anyone who signed up after the Korean war is a murderer.
I would posit only portions of our behavior in ww1 and ww2 were honorable. Supporting the creation of zionist colonialism and nuking a couple cities is … not honorable. Also, I tried to say it and it may have come across odd but those drafted are prisoners compared to those who volunteered. They are not the same.
Yeah, true, we definitely did some fucked up shit in the world wars, but at least I can respect the people who joined.
Also, full sympathy to those who were drafted. I should have put more emphasis on “signed up”
Plus, it’s not like you can just join the military and quit when you don’t like how things are going. Unless things have changed radically, when you enlist you’re signing up for 3,6 or even 8 years of service with very little recourse for getting out (without messing up your career and maybe even your life).
I’m sure for a lot of people working in the military is just a job. It’s a luxury to choose jobs based on personal politics and a lot of people can’t afford that now.
I agree with a lot of the stuff being said here, but it doesn’t really help the case of service members that they pretty overwhelmingly voted for Trump.
Yeah I know. Coming from military parents, I’m trying to not judge people too much since i know theres amazing people who serve, but I agree there’s strong maga bro energy in the military and it sucks.
Can you choose not to e deployed?
Because abusing your fellow Americans sounds like fun?
I reckon it does to some of these assholes, yeah. Plus they get to preboard flights!
I just read that they were hiring thousands of new ICE agents to round up illegals. Who do you think is going to sign up for that duty? And get paid for it, too? Not the best and brightest, we know that.
Part of the transition from a democratic government to an oppressive regime requires filling the military and police with only your supporters and thugs. This is all part of the plan.
I think many Westerners have forgotten the inherent power of the police force and the military even in national discourse. We’ve grown accustomed to them being, perhaps thugish , but not a threat to the societal order and, at least to a certain degree, to the liberties that we generally enjoy. Legitimacy and power ultimately stems from military force and the monopoly of violence, and USA is hearing towards Gilead.
This is not what I’d call a “fun read”, but it is a good one, and someone looked into this a bit.
Whoa.
But there were also a handful of women ICE applicants and a lot of men of color. The deportation officer applicant pool was, I felt, shockingly diverse—one might say it looked like America.
People attempting to hide in the belly of the beast, perhaps? I wonder how that’s gonna work out.
Sadly a lot of US-born and raised Hispanics can be just as racist, if not more racist, against migrants and refugees as white Americans. In particular Mexicans and Chicanos (who represent a massive portion of Border Patrol cops) tend to not like each other.
I suspect many are just looking for a paycheck. ICE agents are slated to be pretty well paid from what I’ve read. We just handed over a historic amount of money to them as well, and even though I expect a large amount of institutional corruption, a significant percentage of it is going to go to personnel.
What’s an “illegal”, first of all. ;)
Anybody that Stephen “PeeWee Himmler” Miller deems it.
There’s a horrible number of people who either don’t care or like it this way. I’m not sure which is more revolting.
In the American Regime, the military checks your peepees to put you into the bathroom they deem appropriate
Is that an AI alien? Face skin looks plastic.
This sounds like an excellent use of time and money for the military. Right up there with sending troops to LA to stand around and watch protests, but not to TX to help with search and rescue. Because lives don’t matter only control matters.
As a resident of a country that the United States has recently threatened to annex, anything that reduces the effectiveness of the American military is a good thing.
See? Trump said he’d create new jobs, and now you can start an exciting new career Disappearing Undesirables, or maybe even become an Official Military Restroom Pecker-Checker! Are we great again yet?
Sargeant of Short Arms
Whew, that’s a relief. As a completely straight, totally not gay, heterosexual male, knowing that I will only get to see the penises of other men in the bathroom gives me an immeasurable sense of
releaserelief.Pecker inspector going to be a duty station now eh?
Pecker detector.
Pecker peeker
double decker?
MOS 69M - Meat Gazer - every unit will have their personnel count bumped up to accommodate new METL tasks.
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.
Those already exist as an Additional Duty, monthly UAs come with voluntold ‘gazers’.
“Drop em solder, where did your pecker go?”
Imagine serving because you believe that you’re protecting the country from a foreign military threat, only to be tasked with verifying genital compliance for bathrooms.
It would be better to shovel shit. Way more honour and respect from society.
Just think, if we’d gone full Starship Troopers with our fascism, we’d have mixed sex toilets and not have to worry if Debbie still had a todger or not.
Ok, fine, i’ll watch Clancy Brown again.
I’ll never need an excuse to watch Clancy Brown.
Medic!
HOW DOES THIS LOWER THE COST OF LIVING?
It doesn’t. But in true bully fashion, they only feel better about themselves by making someone else’s life worse and they don’t have to expend any effort or sacrifice making their own life objectively better.
Cool now you have guys watching woman restrooms, great job idiots
I can’t wait to get drafted then have my genitalia checked constantly by my CO.
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.
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.
I did many a peepee check while in the Marines. It was a rite of passage. Guys tended to have fun with it, although, as with general population, some dudes were piss shy, and you’d let them have their privacy. Most guys would ask you to get as close as possible to watch though, because homoeroticism is rampant in the Marines, especially back when infantry units were all male. There was very little fun to be had, so you made it where you could.
Most guys would ask you to get as close as possible to watch though,
Under the promise of a golden shower?
“Yep, still a dick. Same as last time. NEXT!”
Americans are so weird.
They’re also so dumb that they can’t see that this entire bathroom thing is just one giant distraction
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.
are you kidding our cheap corporations won’t even make the cheap shitty stall walls in the toilets we do get go down to the floor and they usually have gaps you can see through. They don’t make any money on the bathrooms so they aren’t going to spend an extra dime to help.
Not to mention nobody can afford a house so when you do get bathrooms like you’re describing homeless people move into them. I’m not blaming them either.
I wish we could have nice things like that but i can’t see it happening here.
The place I worked at in the UK remodeled all their bathrooms to be a hallway with doors to multiple single self contained unisex toilets, each with its own basin. Bathrooms were generally cleaner, more accessible and more available. No urinals, but urinals are gross anyway so no big loss.
I was really pleased when places here in Canada started doing this. A close family member is trans, and I really felt their pain when going to a public toilet where we had to stand in a line for men or for women. That stuff can make every bathroom visit fraught, especially with the expectation that men will stand next to each other to pee. I even hate that as a cis man. Far better for everyone to form one line with no questions asked and have a private stall.
they might as well make squat toilet.
Well, instead of regulating people’s bodies they could regulate bathroom standards that give people some dignity.
i mean they could just leave us alone and let people use the bathroom they want to, it hasn’t been a problem until they made up the problem.
Also true
While that is ideal, there’s an even easier solution: let trans people shit in whichever bathroom they prefer and direct that energy towards stopping known sexual abusers, like clergy and most Republicans
Now is not the time to politicize this… We’ve got the flood and all the other things going on /s
Or, you know, make all your bathrooms gender neutral. Problem solved, if there was a problem to begin with. There never was a problem though, it’s all just made up and blown up by the likes of fox News which, somehow, is still legally broadcasting their lies over and over to brainwash the US populace.
It’s weird and creepy
Oh are gender neutral and non-gendered different things?
I’m with you, but I’m solving their problem for them.
We’re not all like that. Shit like this blows my mind.
as if removing “poc” from library and naming ships wasnt a distraction enough.
Remember when immigrants were eating people’s dogs and cats in Springfield, Ohio and then they magically stopped on November 6, 2024?
A LOT of Americans bought into that shit and didn’t question it at all when it disappeared overnight.
'Mericans dumb.
The trans ones can 🥴
Oh, honey, only a dumb person speaks in absolutes like this.
But yes, most Republicans are indeed this stupid.
“only a sith speaks in absolutes” is itself, an absolute
Yeah, no.
I’m sure there are exceptions but take a long look at American culture and you’ll see that the majority is just… Weird and dumb.
The Daily Show has a nice piece on this anti-trans bullshit in the 'murican military.
I’m getting sick and tired of all this and i’m in the group that it’s cool to dogpile on du jour, just make all bathrooms mixed already: sinks up front, cubicles in the middle with floor to ceiling doors, urinals at the back. There, done.
As a bonus a lot more people will wash their hands.
Motels might lose some money though.But if we do something logical like this conservatives will only be left with 1,325,975 completely pointless things to whine and cry and stir up their base about.
Unacceptable.
Conservatives crying instead of finding reasonable solutions is an American institution. We must preserve it.
