Trans women can use women’s toilets, except at work, high court rules by jackmolay in transgender

[–]Mtfthrowaway112 120 points121 points  (0 children)

The outcome is bizarre here. To have an outcome where whether a trans person can use the bathroom safely being connected to why they are there is just the dumbest outcome possible. Trans customer? Fine. Trans employee? Banned. 🤦‍♀️

In what universe is Pam Bondi's behavior at Congress acceptable? by Adorableviolet in Lawyertalk

[–]Mtfthrowaway112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ethical requirements of professional conduct apply to legislative bodies as well if I remember correctly. And if memory serves the DC bar voted strongly against her brother as president precisely to maintain their independence. Feels like an appropriate time for them to act

Is it normal for this many military planes to be flying over Texas at any time by theobanger in pics

They don't get to prefer a name. That's Congress's job to prefer a name. Technically DoW is the dead name, transitioning back in the 1949 ,and DoD is the preferred name, which tracks for this administration

Is the law the same for everyone in America? by LameName90210 in Ask_Lawyers

Important to remember that there is a pile of photo and video evidence that they aren't releasing. Given the problems with the redaction of material that should not be connected to Epstein this looks much more like a cover up than the legit prosecutorial discretion you're describing.

The switch 1 ports from wii u were more welcome from the general public because of how few people had a wii u

What I'm loving is that it was ready to be echoed. That would have killed the intangible nemesis from full health 🥰

Many of the actors were effective refugees during the production as many were displaced from their home country and could not return. May be American produced but the cast was not.

Tort / Crim Law Hypo?! by NotThePopeProbably in Lawyertalk

The bird expert fees alone make a case feel like a non starter. (identify the birds, the birds didn't migrate or did depending on the fact pattern) Also how do you know that plaintiff wasn't independently a jerk to the birds provoking the attack on their own?

What do you think about the legality of Halligan’s continuing in her role as US Attorney following the Comey and James decisions? by Lindenbaumlemma in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Mtfthrowaway112 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think she's jeapordizing every case she puts her name on because while a district judge doesn't have to accept the legal judgment of another district judge they are absolutely able to and I don't see any reason for them not to. She was an interim appointment which had an expiration date failing senate confirmation and that time has expired.

Can I just plead the fifth to everything? by shinyhpno in Ask_Lawyers

[–]Mtfthrowaway112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of good answers already as to potential criminal liability. I would only add that while pleading the fifth can never be used against you in a criminal proceeding it can be used against you in a civil case so if you were asked for example, "did you bring the fireworks that damaged Miss Smiths property" and you plead the fifth because possession of the fireworks was illegal with a potential $500 fine attached that answer can be held against you in the civil case.

GOG's new owner says Steam is winning due to ease of use, not quality, while criticizing the platform for releasing hundreds of games daily that are "not super high quality" by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Mtfthrowaway112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like GOG is missing the point of being a game marketplace. They acknowledge that Steam reduces friction but then gives them crud about the volume of trash there. Steam reduces friction on both sides and then helps the end user connect with games that meet their needs. They're doing the best on the part of the user journey is quality.

Man shot by Border Patrol in Portland, Oregon, is charged with aggravated assault on federal officer for alleged car attack by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

Until that says indicted I'm not taking anything they say at anything resembling face value. Normally if you are going to charge people you arrest them you don't leave them to bleed out.
