@Amikke it is a different situation from how most public bathrooms work now. there are norms in those situations. they are different in gender-neutral bathrooms, but not everyone has been in gender-neutral public bathrooms before. I'm not saying you have to set up a commission, but explicitly saying "guys, close the door to the stall even if you're just peeing" or "always raise the toilet seat before you pee" is something you should do, even if most guys would work that out on their own. not to mention, people police traditionally gendered spaces pretty severely -- that's not just the flip of a switch to change, but takes a process, even if it's a relatively short one.

as far as sexual misconduct, it still happens in "civilised society". as a relatively obscured space (i.e., closed doors, not visible to passers-by), bathrooms are places where sex-offenders are more likely to make their moves. women in particular are justified in not wanting to be in situations where they could encounter such people, like if they just need to pee, but it's in a place with less traffic -> more chance you're alone with a potential creep.

@mc I rarely use -u because I like the unset-is-empty behavior. you learn to think thru the what-ifs on that and add in the guards where you need em.. also test test test

@Amikke I think there should be separate spaces, generally. it's ok to be primarily gender neutral if you can set up that situation in your community and establish some norms, but, broadly, cis-gendered hetero people probably can't be trusted to act right in these situations

@AmpBenzScientist @Amikke by "pokey tool", you mean your penis, right?

@AmpBenzScientist are you/were you in the military?

Another screenshot showing lots of reflections

I made up a little demo to play with basic optics (Snell's law and internal reflection). I want to make a little game out of it, but I'm not sure where to take it from here.

@augustus it's weird how he's actually a real person and not a fictional character. life's funny sometimes

@ekvin reminds me of some Sandman graphic novel covers

@barefootstache passwords aren't independent of the user or even the user name. even if you "mix up" the correspondence, the plaintext still gives me more information than I would have otherwise

@polymerwitch omg why can I vote in this? I've never even been there
