On being accepted by cis girls
One of the most wholesome things on the internet is being able to see all the trans joy in spaces such as these.
Good for you, and may all trans people find such joy :)

I'm using the other comments to hypothesise but I think they are using Benedryl (an anti-hystemine/anti-allergy medication) and putting it inside a shotgun cartridge. The implication being that they will shoot people breaking into their house with a powerful over-the-counter narcotic.

[StreetComplete] Is this stop lit?
I'm not particularly aware of the rules of the community but I would assume the intention is to indicate if the bus stop is "lit safely" for those who feel more vulnerable at night, such as women, the very young, and the very old. So I would perhaps interpret it that way - does it feel "safe" for things such as if a paving stone is loose, would you see it, or could an attacker get too close before you saw them.

What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for?
Schengen - the village in Luxembourg where the Schengen Agreement was signed. The population was 5196 in 2023 (appears to be the last census quoted on Wikipedia) and the "Schengen Area", covered by the agreement represents 450m people.

US cops get gun stuck to MRI machine in bungled cannabis raid
At the end of the article, which is already a litany of clownish buffoonery, it states that after destroying (effectively) the MRI machine in order to retrieve the rifle, he failed to retrieve a loaded magazine. So it was just left on the floor as they left.
Edit: autocorrect had changed it to clownfish

Fellow right-side-of-the-ponder here (so take with a heap of salt). So basically both sides present mitigations ("my client had a clean record until now", "the defendant was found liable for SA", sort of thing). These may change the outcome of the sentencing, including specific dates for any period of incarceration.
There will also be part of this given over to why they defendant shouldn't be found liable for also violating his gag order (very similar to the ones before, but this one is now he is a felon). And if the defense counsel can't explain why he did that (which is pretty much indefensible) then he can be both found liable for the breach and have it impact his potential sentence.
I am not a lawyer, I am not American, this is just what I understand, until someone better comes along to correct me.

I actually disagree with that, if I saw a larger gentleman wearing this I'd feel proud of him for owning his thing with self-depracating humour, and think it was funny, the same as I do here.
