Sherlock keeping a receipt could… have given me a clue?

what???

I am starting to get the feeling maybe sherlock should have kept the recipt…

Oh christ on a biscuit it’s you again. Just FYI, I’m not a product of the american educational system.

Where did OP imply they at all thought this was a good thing?

She did get support though, just the wrong group. Gendered services aren’t really the issue here, that aspect seems like it worked fine except that she was referred incorrectly.

An aside, but gender division of services is not inherently problematic. Most DV support is done through the same organizations, but male and female DV care has very different needs. The number of men who seek DV support because they are actively at risk of grievous physical harm is vanishingly small, for example; men are generally at risk of losing housing, medical care, are being prevented from accessing their residence or their children are at risk and so male DV support is set up to provide those because that is usually what men most urgently need addressing. This is very counter to womens DV support, which is almost always about removing them from imminent harm ASAP and everything else is secondary. Connecting people to systems designed to provide what they likely most urgently need is critical to providing DV care, and errors can be then corrected once the urgent issues are addressed.

There’s no perfect solution, and unfortunately going with what statistically will improve responses is the best you can hope for. Incredibly rare cases like this, which could have been resolved by simply speaking to the social workers involved, should not be the reason the whole system is slowed down - the solution here is just to make sure people are recorded as their correct genders.

Ms Wylder is now questioning why Victoria Police prioritised defending the case for more than two years.

Presumably because the court system is broken? Two years for lawsuits against a public service is almost fast for the canadian court system. IDK this seems… Like, yeah, the system was clearly broken - but it wasn’t like they even misgendered her solely on the basis of anti-trans bias, they even recorded her as potentially being pregnant. It seems like the system just made a mistake, or referenced another system that hadn’t updated her gender.

From working with these systems, social service referrals are not handled by the police - that is given over to another agency, who match against their own records to confirm identity instead of taking the information from the police reports. This is done because the cops are idiots who write things down wrong all the time - it just seems like in this one instance the cops recorded things right and the referenced systems did not have the correct gender information for her yet (possibly because it had not been officially changed?)

Honestly this really seems like the cops didn’t screw up, it was the social service group that did the referral who borked things - which may be why the cops fought this, it’s not like there’s tons of examples of them handling transgender-involved anything correctly…

There is no hell - if we want them to ever face some kind of punishment for their actions, we’re gonna have to do it ourselves…

To top it off: The evil feds have set up a twisted profit incentive. These AI companies will be “compensated based on a share of averted expenditures.” In other words, they’ll get a cut. The more claims the companies deny, the more money they get.

just sickening.

More black bars than New Orleans…

And only if the fetus ain’t miscegenated…

Never had raccoon, have had opossum and it was… passable. Not something I’d seek out but not bad in a stew.

I can see not liking sea urchin, personally I’m not big on it but it’s not, like, bad bad. Just not my thing.

I’ve had sea cucumber several times and no, man, I encourage you to try it just so that you can share my pain. Cat was deeply eeh, don’t recommend, but sea cucumber is “I have dreams about how bad it is” levels of bad - and whats worse, people really do claim it’s a delicacy! So you can’t just duck under the table and hoark it all out onto your shoes without being rude.

I’d rather snort lines of raw durian than eat sea cucumber again. Seriously if you ever get a chance go for it, it’s spectacularly horrible. You gotta try it.

What kind of cat did you have and what were the circumstances?

“Cat” (it was cooked, I assume it was a shorthair since there were ample feral shorthairs around), and it was part of a banquet-thing I was at while visiting friends - except sea cucumber (which is revolting it has the exact taste and texture of a loogie) the rest of the food was very good!

(edit: I am not sure british wartime cooking is a great metric to base “Tastes-Goodness” off of)

Honestly, cat is just pretty gross. Did not like at all, even before I knew what it was. Incredibly greasy, very unpleasantly gamey, weirdly stringy, do not recommend.

Lemmy is generally better than reddit on most issues, except on anything to do with women - when it is somehow spectacularly worse.

In a broad sense sure, and that’s a great reason to use a VPN (especially if you listen to VPN ads on youtube)!

It really isn’t a good reason in this example, though. At least, not as an explanation for setting your location to be outside of the US. Use of a VPN is identifiable (unless you set it up yourself, which isn’t anonymous) so it will make no difference where you’re located if the authoritarian government you’re supporting gets replaced with an even more authoritarian one that decides to prosecute people being mean to them online, and it can only serve to incriminate you if the data ever gets leaked (like what happened here).

Generally this is true, but within the scope of this hypothetical it doesn’t really change that this fundementally doesn’t make sense.

No the troll kingdom has been at war with the lizard cabal for centuries, I’m very careful to never confuse the two groups.

Seriously though I don’t think you’re trolling, I just think this question is kinda dumb. While there are reasons to use a VPN yes, you have yet to present a reason for why a huge number of legit US-based maga-influencer VPN users would want to set their location to something other than the US instead of just using a US node, which would be both faster and less suspicious.

It’s just silly to think they’d be doing that, there legitimately isn’t a reason to pay money to do a less convincing job (unless this is a false flag)

It’s also possible that this is all being orchestrated by the lizard cabal (prove me wrong, I dare you) but hopefully we can agree that our time is going to be much better spent discussing things that are actually likely instead of what the lizard pope might be planning next.

An unironic use of “just asking questions”, dang.

And so is tweeting about a fire while in a crowded theater, but defamation/libel are famously hard to even show standing for, let alone prosecute. And they (oversimplifying) generally do not apply to speech critical of a public figure, which is why we can say things like “Stephen miller is a collective of sentient bugs stuffed into a skin suit made from stitched-together horse foreskins that’s embezzling millions of dollars that he then spends on underage sheep and recreational bidets” without worrying about legal repercussions.

Commercial VPN services aren’t particularly cheap.
