That entire policy has its start in anti-homeless architecture.
And I think we all know it. But in the end, it's anti-homeless, anti-shopper, anti-disabled, and is just one of many reasons why this mall is deader than a doornail

As long as that policium is in place I will not come back here again

They were not rumors. I'm not sure if they are current. But the roaches are.

In fairness, diatoms that have been dead for 12 million years are more useful. See also: diatomaceous earth

I see where you're going with that, and while they can reevaluate service disabilities, I feel like even for them that would be such a colossal waste of time and money to root out a handful of the veterans to Target that it still wouldn't be worth their time

And now that I have seen the thumbnail for her piece back on YouTube, I'm starting to wonder if it's because she seems to have been a bit critical of CBS. Corporate slop I believe she called section 31?

Hypothetical, be nearly instantly recognized as a double edged sword that it is. All of a sudden every state court that has prosecuted a j6 rioter veteran for any crimes pushing to give them a dishonorable discharge Even if they've been out of the military for 50 years?
comment in response to

Someone for doing something that was not a crime, it would open the door to potentially downgrading the discharge of any veteran who has ever been convicted of a crime. Something that we don't have in place now with very rare exceptions for officers. I think something like that would in this

As a civilian, I just cannot see how that would fly. Even if they tried to pass a law doing that, it would get stopped in its tracks from being put into effect by lawsuits and pretty much every single district court in this country. Even if not for its blatant discrimination and attempting to punish

Says that at best for them they could try to say that being trans is not a debilitating condition for disability benefits, which I do not believe it currently can be anyway. Even secondary to another condition.
Trying to use someone's medical record to go back and article 15 or court-martial them

Removing gender firming care from the VA is a completely different thing that I would not be surprised to see happen. It's a tact that no one has taken and there may be legal hurdles to banning that without certain procedures being done, but everything that I know about VA disability benefits

Might be denied benefits or otherwise penalized, but, and I admit it does feel like I am tempting fate here by saying it, it seems a little true mask off even for them to try something that ridiculous

Limitations, as well as retroactively making it a crime for as long as the oldest veteran has been a veteran. Even as fucked up as our judicial system is, I have trouble seeing them okaying is such a broad retroactive punishment.
The closest I could see would be saying that people discharged now
comment in response to

Now of course, this doesn't preclude the idea of someone being incredibly stupid and trying to pass a law that lets them retroactively target a specific subset of a specific population for added persecution, but at that point, that would be effectively criminalizing being trans with no statute of

Trauma of a mental health variety that came about in part because I was trans, but know where on my service connected disability list does it say transgender as a debilitating condition.

Suggesting that to do something like you are suggesting somebody would have to be recalled to active duty and then be court-martialed for something that has nothing to do with their military service. Even from a disability standpoint, none of my disabilities include being trans. I do have military
comment in response to

At least from a disability standpoint, of someone being discharged solely because they were trans. And even people who were discharged under DADT have been able to go back and get their discharge statuses changed to a more favorable status because of DADT being repealed.
A little more research is

I just did a quick search and this is specifically from the army, but everything else that I am seeing referencing any other branch says the same thing. They can only upgrade, not downgrade.
That said, there is another issue to the idea: I have never heard

I have to say that I have never heard of someone not an officer being brought back into service to have their discharge status downgraded. You can file requests to have a discharge status upgraded, like from a general to honorable.

That's basically what happened to me between 2003 and 2005. Once I realized I was trans, I had to fight to get out of the military before they figured out what I knew

As a trans veteran who served during don't ask don't tell, this was exactly how trans people were seen and why I had to be very careful hiding who I was. They saw us as mentally defective and incompatible with military service.

What's ironic is Pisa is only about a 4 degree tilt (before repairs, it was as much as 5.5 degrees)
The Marmalade Man is tilted at about 16 degrees, if the math came out right.

When I left there, I left a post explaining why I was leaving and where to find me, and then deleted every other post that I had ever made on the account. That way no one can steal my account without elon's help, and they can't use my pass posts for machine learning or advertising

We are in a post knowledge society. In the past, every town had a village idiot and everyone knew it was so they could be politely ignored.
Today the internet has allowed those singular idiots to make their own community

If I was driving a cybertruck I deserve to be laughed at.

also: in simple words, if someone is a bigot they are "stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own"
All I did was describe you using your own description.

Yeah ... I had to point out that most people I know laughing at the trucks are on the spectrum.
but then he got offended by me calling him a 'single celled algea', aka a diatom. And he tried to call me a bigot.
It's funny.

laughing at the truck.
To date, I know of zero trans people with a cybertruck, but if I did, I'd absolutely be laughing at them for having one.
And also asking some serious questions about why they thought supporting a fascist transphobe was a good idea.

You're the one who made their online persona based on a single celled algea (a diatom, for those just now joining us)
The average person isn't going to be able to tell the gender expression of someone driving a truck like that, so it's a safe assumption that someone pointing and laughing is

In my 44 years on this planet, I don't think I have ever heard someone use 'transgenders' of their own volition that didn't end up being found to be a bigot.
Maybe you'll be the one to prove me wrong. But you're still an asshole, and they showed you the door.

Because you're pointing and laughing at the truck.
I know you're a single celled algea, but try to evolve a brain.

Probably the part that I enjoy is that he's getting roasted here, and when he posted the screencap on his profile and whined about you blocking him, he got roasted there as well.

Also, a lot of people that I know laughing at the literal dumpster on wheels -are- autistic, so clearly that argument falls apart.
He could have said 'narcissist' and been closer, but if you have the money for that truck you have money for therapy for being a narcissist.

Wait, if they want to claim fetuses are people, then wouldn't that be 'desecration of a corpse'?
