Maybe we should just start a The World Has Gone Mad thread

I like the idea, as long as we realize that no one can keep that up for more than a few sentences. I doubt even hardline gender-benders can stay consistent with the pronoun games for any length of time. It's just a scam. Like EVs relying on fossil fuels and environmentally questionable mining. Or like anyone trying to pretend there's no absolute truth.

That and unless all the people walk around with name pronoun tags on all the time, there is no way anyone would be able to keep up.  Especially when students change pronouns daily/hourly.  The people drafting these rules won't be able to comply with them.  Just allows them to selectively punish anyone they choose.

Just happened to come across this

The Center for Community College Partnerships (CCCP) at UCLA develops and strengthens academic partnerships between California community colleges and the University of California (UC). Through a multi-faceted approach with efforts at the student, faculty and administrative levels, CCCP works to increase the academic preparation and competitiveness for prospective community college transfer students, particularly those who are first-generation, low-income, and/or historically underrepresented. CCCP also helps community colleges and universities develop transfer-sending cultures and transfer-receptive cultures, respectively

CCCP, fitting for a program at a college.

Just a random thought, do tattoo artists charge larger people more to do a tattoo because invariably the tattoo will be larger and use more ink and take more time in order to be proportional to the size of the canvas (or whatever they call it)? I would guess they do.

I believe they typically charge based on the size and complexity of the tattoo.  The same small tattoo on a big person wouldn't typically cost more, but if you scale it to fit the canvas, then yes, it would cost more.

Seeing this more and more lately where a mob of feral youths swarm and loot a delivery truck. Plenty of videos out of Amazon trucks getting looted.
Why go to a store to loot when the store comes to you?

It seems like an easy and cheap fix would be to reinforce the door latches and make sure the drivers lock them during deliveries. Maybe a three digit combo code for relatively fast access to the the back for the driver. These are all smash and grabs, so even just a couple of minutes of theft resistance seems like it would stop most of them.

Of course places like Amazon probably measure delivery efficiency in seconds, so an extra 15 minutes a day per vehicle to lock and unlock doors are not cost efficient for them.
