I went to a board game convention a month ago, it was the first time I've girlmoded for something major. They put their own signs over the bathroom signs explaining that both were gender neutral and the only difference was urinals vs stalls. That made it soooo much easier on me and I was very glad

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 21 points 4 days ago

Indeed, I'm a furry and a few conventions I go to, even in red states, have temporary rebranding of the bathrooms to gender neutral for the duration of the convention as a requirement that the Hotel must maintain in order to keep the convention's business.

And since furries are either suspiciously wealthy or poor, but dedicated, it's a wise economic decision for said Hotel.

Which happens to be exactly what the place in OP does.

I had assumed, hence my loosely related story

[–] hedders@fedia.io 5 points 4 days ago

That is a sensationally good idea.

[–] horse@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

I don't think only gender neutral bathrooms is the way to go. There should be an all gender bathroom and a woman's bathroom. Unfortunately we live in a world where women may still feel understandably uncomfortable with men in the bathroom with them.

Note: To be clear I'm not saying the women's bathroom should be for cis women only, it should only exclude men.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 41 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Gendered bathrooms should not need to exist because bathrooms should have some dammed privacy.

In the US, there’s a door for boys and one for girls. Behind each is a giant room with some sinks and some toilets that may as well be using cardboard and tinfoil for privacy.

Go somewhere more pleasant like Sweden? You have a short hallway with 3 or 4 doors on each side, and behind each is a small restroom including a sink and a mirror.

Every real and maga-hallucinated bathroom problem largely solved.

"What kind of bathroom does your home have?"

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 39 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The fact that stalls exist kinda makes me question why, outside of poorly aged "values" we even have gendered restrooms.

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 days ago (5 children)

because men's restrooms are covered in piss

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I identify as a man and accidentally went into the women's bathroom at the supermarket.

It smelled like blood, tampons on the floor, and there was a woman crying in the stall.

I'll take the piss floors.

AWAITING THE HOUR OF REPRISAL

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 4 days ago

So are the women's, men aren't special.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

From what I've heard from janitors, the women's rooms can be outright disturbing. Like period blood murals on the wall.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 days ago

"period blood mural" is a great punk or trash metal band name

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 4 days ago

Haha, I can tell you never cleaned retail bathrooms... *cries*

[–] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

There's this place i go to where they have 2 single-person bathrooms, but they're still gendered. Maybe this is the reason

[–] Midnitte 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Imagine the amount of small businesses that would be put under if they had to pay for vastly more bathrooms because someone can't be creepy.

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking that most businesses don't just have one gender neutral *toilet

It's not a bathroom, or a restroom

You're not taking a bath or having a kip, it's a fucking toilet you prudes 😂

Sez you! I do plenty of napping on the company shitter.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Overhyped. i don't like the comment above. they make it seem like a big thing. i don like these kinds of posts..

when a post has "absolute legend" as the title, that reads to me like a youtube title like "We DESTROYED FOREVER!" or "This EASY trick is a GAME CHANGER". gooooddddd (im in complain mode now sorrii)

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

~nununununu!!!~ please understand that I'm angry at the reddit post with the annoying youtube title, not the repost here on Lemmy. On thus post, "No" is a pretty good title I think. it's not overselling it, it makes sense within the context of the funi and it's not an overused buzzword.

the REDDIT POST on the other hand! it goes out of it's way to be annoying. it repeats the the same meaning using different words. it pretends like this is a big thing: some employee replying with no to some comment about thir game. It's boring, overblown and who cares. It would have been funier if the reddit person just reposted the post and didnot add a dum and long subtitle to it. WHAT IS THIS? prepare for my next game, named Calm Compass: A side adventure in a parallel dimebsion. (very out of context, yes, srryy)

have I now become the one to overblow and overreact? am I now saying the same thing with many words? YES! ON PURPOSE!

im sori next time I will ramble shorter.

Also

Alright, that's gonna be it for this round of Smorty COMPLAINS about your somewhat well known topics! Tune in next episode, where I discuss, that AI is actually BAD for the internet and that it is RUINING the internet and that AI features are BAD and that OpenAI is now putting its LLMs into MURDER DRONES (not a joke btw) and that GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS ARE USELESS NOW BECAUSE IF AI!!!!<|endoftext|>

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i literally don get that >~<

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

its the "fnaf will be real in 5 seconds" meme but with the show Murder Drones cuz funny spooky show about murderous AI :3

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

:o murderous AI? Woah! Is it like - really really scary or less so?

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

its a horror comedy like The Amazing Digital Circus if u've heard of that one so it has scary parts and funny parts :3 Im OBSESSED with this show honestly >v< it ended months ago BUT the community is still making fanmade episodes and other media and its all so cool 💛

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it like - Netflix bs or cool Youtube thing? I don't wanna have to pirate... But I will if it on the Netf

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

both those shows r cool indie youtube things on the GLITCH channel :3 TADC is also on Netflix AND cringeflix didnt even like buy the rights or exclusivity or anything which is the first time that happens for indie animations which is super cool! :3 but Murder Drones isnt on Netflix cuz they didnt like the "Murder" in the name X3

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

hmmm oki i jus watchd the entire thing... (iss pretty short after all)

im really sri but i don think it for me :(

like yes, the world is cool, the characters are somewhat interesting and the visuals are crazy good n cool

but like - idk, it's like -

the things I kinda disliked (CW: spoiler! watch out!)

  • main char like - wayyyy to classic 14 y/o gurl, which is fine, but like woah a bit too on the nose for my likey..
  • way too many chars like depressed n mentally ill.. i get it, but like - com on.. (kinda similar thoughts on TADC)
  • sometime weirdly slow animation.. idk what it is, it feels like animators are afraid to animate something to move quickly
  • when viewed on big screen, hard to follow where characters. feels like it's made for on-phone consumption
  • wayyyy too many probably funi error screens u gotta pause for. I did that for like 7 of em and then I stopped
  • i really didn get the story sadly.
  • like: drones do stuff -> disassembly drones come in and kill -> they turn into friends but keep killing -> are still tolerated
  • vvvv confusd about ending.. like - wanna-be-glados-also-human turns to flesh and also kinda fire tentacle god and compress planets to sun kinda
  • weird temporal coherence with hair-shader... thats usually a real-time game graphics issue, not a rendered movie issue
  • no gay romance ~
  • cringed every time they got those X eyes n edgy teeth cuz like - I dunno, feels to aggressive to me (im probably not target audience)
  • i thought like - omygosh they're gonna kill humns, but no! maybe they killed half a humn
  • I didn see the horror - like it was fine, but do we need flesh walls n oil to make it horrr?...
  • I dun get the whole symbol thing where they cn move stuffs. like, that preprogrammed? that evolved? that like - random generation? i kno, i shouldn look into things but it hard not to :/
  • russian gurl way too edgy for me..
  • deaths handed out like baked goods.. peeps die like every 5 mins -

that a big list of complaints, i very sri.. imma... imma watch the MLP again...

i wished I would like it, so that i could go omygosh mia, thissoooo gud! *aaaaaaa* thanksies for recommending! ur super verr much the best >v&lt; &lt;3
and while u are obv the best, i m sad that we don share this interest..

[–] Ghost33313 14 points 4 days ago

Beyond gender, as a father of two girls, i fucking love gender neutral bathrooms. Your establishment has gn bathrooms you've doubled the odds of me returning.

“Why would we buy two”

[–] verdare 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Uh… Does the username “Anders Holmvik” have anything to do with Anders Breivik, or is that just a normal Scandinavian name?

[–] breakcore@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anders Holmvik is one of the three main characters in the show Workaholics.

The character is played by actor and co-creator of the show Anders Holm.

Vik or vig, in Scandinavian languages, means inlet or bay and is rather common as part of a placename. Therefore also somewhat common as a family name, since these tend to reflect origin of a given family.

I can recommend the show, it is funny, albeit rather stupid.

[–] barooboodoo@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They also have a podcast that is pretty dang funny, and I wasn't even a huge workaholics fan.

[–] breakcore@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks, I'll check it out!

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 9 points 4 days ago

It's the name of one of the main characters in the Comedy Central sitcom Workaholics.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago
