Wisconsin judge sides with 11-year-old trans girl over her right to use school toilets

Make them all unisex. If it's a large facility with a bunch of stalls or a small facility for only one person, make them all unisex.

I knew a lady in the Army. Under Obama, she got the right to be out. She also got the right to marry her long-time girlfriend and receive the pay allowances that hetero couples received.
She voted for Trump in 2016.

Elon Musk supports eliminating voting rights for people without children
A guy with three passports for three different countries should take his wildly out-of-touch idiocy and fuck off.

Someone is holding that bag, though. Unfortunately for us, the people holding that bag have the kind of money to make our lives hell just for a fraction of a percentage point of value for their bottom line.

Amazon CEO tells staff to work in office three days a week or look for another job

The work-supervision to prevent slackers thing is only part of the problem, and pretty small.
The biggest issue is the huge amount of money these companies pay for real estate, and how much the commercial real estate market means to the overall economy.
All of this is just sabre-rattling in an attempt to return to the pre-covid status quo, while these companies will soon be shedding their corporate office spaces to reduce their operating costs.

US military police find missing 14-year-old girl in barracks on California Marine Corps base
Reply in thread
"She found them", or she was found during a room inspection or wandering the hallway by an NCO on duty. Probably an NCO with the common sense to ask what in the fuck a 14 year old girl is doing wandering around the barracks on a military installation.
I was in the Army. I've reported underaged girls in the barracks to superiors before.

Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest Tactic
Reply in thread
Moderators there are volunteers, responsible for curating the content that users post... The mods just need to limit their responsibility and only enforce the site-wide rules.
Allow their subs to devolve to shitposts and memes.
Reddit is already dead. It just might be a few years before Spez and co figure it out.

Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap
Reply in thread
Taxi companies need to own the car, pay for maintenance, pay wages for the driver, insurance, etc.
Ride-sharing apps offload all of the taxi-company maintenance overhead costs to the gig-driver while only paying about 50% of the fare.

Reddit trying to flex
Reply in thread
One of the things that drives Reddit as a social media platform is the anonymity.
Once you start tying monetization mechanisms to pay users for content, similar to YouTube or Instagram, you lose the anonymity.
Reddit is already walking the path to destroy everything that made it a different social media platform.

Texas worker accused of being on drugs was actually dying of heatstroke

Abbott was the Texas AG and helped re-write legislation that reduced payouts on medical torts almost 30 years after he sued because he was paralyzed by a falling tree.

The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964. That was only 60 years ago.
There are pictures of Bernie Sanders being arrested while protesting segregation. Bernie isn't the oldest serving senator, and there are currently serving senators who have received "F" grades on their civil rights voting records, despite claiming to support civil rights.
I think it is entirely accurate to state that America is a bigoted nation.

Respirator for Resin Printing?
Reply in thread
In addition to other suggestions, you could also set up a barrier (cardboard box) that would shade your printer from direct sunlight when the door is open.
You also don't need the door open fully. Just open a few inches and turn on a box fan.

2009: http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/03/10/washington.barracks.death/index.html
The average age of new enlisted accessions are 18.5 years old for the US Marines, and 19.7 for the US Army.
87% of the new recruits are 18-24 years old.
A 2005 study showed that more than 40% of new recruits came from rural areas.
More than a few Woodersons join the military.

In my hypothetical example, when you pictured stalls, you pictured them with only toilets inside. You didn't even consider that there could be a stall with just a urinal.
You may enjoy sidling to the trough and gazing at your competition, but some of us appreciate not having creeps trying to size us up.

If you have to fight to remove a right, it's not really alienable, is it?

I've seen them in seven States in the US, also on a trip to Canada. I lived in Germany for a while, and used them there - and Austria.
Maybe you should try traveling and open up that closed mind. Expand those horizons.

Minor Bugs / QoL Discussion
I'm on a Pixel 7, Android 13.
So far, I like Jerboa.
Maybe a bug:
When I go to all, I get a few posts loaded. I scroll to the bottom, and nothing else loads. I have to click into a post, swipe back to all, and then more posts will load, allowing me to scroll.
Feature requests: A version of all that automatically filters out tagged nsfw or porn. And maybe a version of all that automatically limits to tagged nsfw.
An ability to minimize or hide what I am subscribed to in the menu. Ie, I need to click on subscriptions to load what servers I am subscribed to, instead of them being top loaded and visible in the menu.
