To make the setup work, aye

Sphinx: You there, knight. I am the guardian of this place and cannot allow you to pass without a battle.

Me: My name is Ender, Sir Ender to you. And I’m a bit weary from my long journey here, would you accept a pun battle?

Sphinx: Aye, Sir Ender.

Me: Thank you, please move aside

For me, they manage to trigger the “SNAKE!” and “SPIDER!” panic responses simultaneously. The rational part of my brain likes them, the instinctual part tells me to smash it with a rock

Absolutely post relevant info, I’m saying your audience here doesn’t consider what you posted to be relevant.

If your comments had tied in to the greater anglosphere discussions around trans people or used the examples as a thing to emulate or avoid, that would be relevant.

As they are, your comments just sound like you think of England as an extension of the US or at least you think the lawmakers of England are concerned about bathrooms in California

Sad to see down votes for the truth. The feds print the money so they don’t absolutely NEED to collect it first. But if money going out is more than the money coming in through taxes, it increases the supply and decreases the value of each dollar.

Lol, I swear I can read

“in the country”

Bruh, their point was you are talking about a different country. I happen to agree with your opinion, but how bathrooms work in Los Angeles has no bearing on the laws in the UK.

While I like the comparison between Trump’s legal troubles and Julius Caesar’s, my inner pedant needs to point out that Caesar was not part of the fall of the Roman Empire.

The EEA shows up in the list of places it does not apply. They worded it strangely, first calling out the US as a place where it does apply. Then they change it up and say it also applies to anywhere not on this specific list of places

This doesn’t seem like an unreasonable requirement for work attire. In a customer-facing role, they are representing the company and so the company is very concerned about it’s image.

For non-customer facing roles, it’s more about keeping the office productive and with minimal conflict. Someone walking in with a “Grab them by the pussy” shirt with a big picture of Trump’s face is going to stir up some shit that the company would rather avoid.
