Hire the high school bullies to do their dream job while they’re still in high school. I worked at a prison for almost 3 years. You can’t be successful by bullying. The inmates outnumber the guards and they work out. It isn’t a wrestling match, it’s a game of chess. The inmates are always trying to get away with something. You have to be observant, intelligent, patient, and above all you must be fair to all of them. You aren’t there to punish them. Being there is their punishment. Your job is to keep them safe, fed, medicated, and entertained so they don’t riot and to prevent their escape. High school students playing mind games with 50 year old inmates will get tricked into breaking the law. Once you do that, the inmates own you. You end up working for them. Anyone who has spent time in a prison on either side of the bars knows this.

Wanna bet? Trump will dump them in a swing state and fast track their citizenship so they can vote Republican.

If you downvoted me, all you are saying is, you have never actually read the Bible.

Customers are the people whom a business serves. The customers are not the poor people, who pay for insurance and get denied. UHC’s customers are the share holders. That is who the company provides services and benefits for.

Yeah, I checked the Bible and rape, adultery, incest and bigamy are all acceptable behaviors in the Bible as long as you’re male and part of the in-group. If you are a woman, on the other hand, you will be stoned to death. I didn’t make the rules, God did.

I don’t understand the downvotes myself. Everyone out there who didn’t have a fake ID or know someone who had one before turning 21, wished they did. It was legal at the time and location where I was doing it, but it was still shady. I don’t pretend it was ethical. I was an adventurer in my youth. I went to a far away city with no money and no place to stay. It isn’t easy getting off the street without a phone or an address. The kind of jobs you can get are not always 100% legitimate. The ID shop was owned by a local criminal organization and affiliated with the local undercover police. They didn’t care how many IDs we sold to teens who wanted beer. They wanted to know who might be buying them for identity theft. Since what we were doing wasn’t against the law strictly speaking, and we shared information about potential felons, they didn’t bother us.

Put the engine in the middle or back of the car’s frame and move the driver all the way to the front in a glass bubble where they can’t use the excuse that they didn’t see what was in front of the car. Also if they go to fast and hit something, they get hurt immediately. Risk to the driver will make them more cautious.

“it’s about walking in and a man or group of men being in there already, plus being followed in.” A sign won’t prevent that. The sign will only prevent men who care about rules and social norms from going in there. The kind of men that we all need to worry about, don’t care about such things.

Lots of people use fake IDs to check into hotels. They may not want people, like their spouse, to know they were there. I personally made thousands of fake IDs in the late 90s The majority of the customers were probably just teenagers who wanted to buy booze and smokes. A few of them probably wanted to commit identity theft. I never questioned the data they wanted entered on the ID. If you want the name to say Brad Pitt, your name is now Brad Pitt. If you want a birth-date to make you 22 years old, I didn’t care if you looked 15 or if you looked 50. If you said your gender was Female, that’s what I put on the ID. I asked no questions and made no attempt to verify anything they wrote on the form I had them fill out. I did inform them that, while possessing or making such an ID was not a crime, (at the time) presenting it to a law enforcement agent as identification or attempting to buy age restricted products with it was a crime. It was $40 for the ID and you got a free duplicate ID.

He demanded that she prove she is female. How exactly would one do that?

I dumped Windows about 18 months ago, before their recall and copilot BS. There are many Linux distros out there. They are free and there is almost nothing you can do with Windows that can’t be done on Linux. These days, most games for Windows can be played on Linux using Proton and Wine. There is no reason to keep Windows and plenty of reasons to dump Windows, like not wanting your personal data stolen or monitored by corporations and governments.

CachyOS rocks. I settled on it after trying many Linux distros and CachyOS won. All distros had pros and cons CachyOS was easy to update. Easy to install and remove programs without the terminal. Proton and Wine run great on it so most of my Steam and Epic games are playable and all media types play without tinkering. That was an issue with Fedora.

I saw a picture of the lady. She is tall, has short hair and kind of masculine facial features, but none of that is an excuse. The male security guard demanded to see her genitals to prove she was female. Female bathrooms only have stalls. Even if she had been a trans woman, no one else in the bathroom would have ever seen her naked crotch and she wouldn’t have seen theirs. The story here is a MALE hotel employee went into a FEMALE BATHROOM and demanded to see a woman’s genitals because she didn’t look girly enough for his standards.

I don’t see what the big deal is about bathrooms. I have been to bars and nightclubs and even gas stations where there is no gender assigned to the bathrooms. You have stalls and you have urinals. Anyone who only wants to pee and can do so standing up, uses the urinal. Anyone who needs to poop or wants to sit down while they pee uses the stalls. No one touches anyone else without permission and staring at anyone else’s crotch in the bathroom is creepy. I know men are creepy but I would argue that they will behave themselves better when there is more traffic in and out of the bathroom. Hanging a sign that restricts gender won’t keep a creep from lurking in there anyway.

Suspended, when it comes to private security, doesn’t mean the same thing as it does for law enforcement. He probably isn’t getting paid, because hotel security is paid hourly. If he has no hours, he has no pay.

I appreciate a car manufacturer acknowledging that their product is dangerous to people outside of the car but a better way to mitigate injuries would be to make speed restriction devices standard on all cars. If the car can’t go faster than 30kph in the city and 20kph near houses and schools, the cars would rarely kill anyone even when they hit someone. #FuckCars

When is Trump going to pay his debts for defamation and fraud he has been found guilty or liable for? How about Trump pays back all the debts erased by his six bankruptcies? If he gained money through fraud, what about the taxes he evaded?

How about $5000 per month per child with adjustments for cost of living and inflation until the child is or children turn 18? I bet some women would have babies for that.

I was in the military for over 10 years. A lot of LGBTQ+ people join the military for the same reason White straight men like myself did. They were out of options. I lived in a very rural area with no job or education opportunities and raised by an absentee single mother with no money or property. The military was a way out. Many LGBTQ+ people had the same situation as me. Many others were shunned or disowned by their families and had no other way to get ahead. Their families refused to care for them just for being gay. I served with many people who were as flamboyantly gay as you can get in a combat uniform and I never saw an issue. Never had any reason to doubt their intent or integrity. The people who caused the most problems were other White straight men, especially those from southern states.

There is no housing shortage, just an abundance of greed. There are 14,000,000 empty homes in the USA and most are owned by corporations who hold them as part of a financial portfolio or hedge funds. Ban corporations from owning residential properties and the housing shortage will vanish without cutting down more trees and burning more fossil fuels.
