    People should keep submitting fake reports, and make them somewhat plausible. Just so they don’t get instantly discarded and can actually tie up more resources by actually getting investigated.

      This is something an LLM is actually very useful for. It can make it sound both legitimate, be verbose and generate many submissions with little human effort.

        The employment of a large language model, such as the one utilized in this scenario, can prove to be remarkably advantageous. It possesses the remarkable capacity to transform the provided text into multiple submissions that convey an aura of authenticity, while adhering to the principle of verbosity. This approach allows for the generation of a substantial quantity of content with a minimal investment of human resources and effort.


        Engaging the services of an advanced language model represents a highly valuable asset in this particular context. Such models exhibit the remarkable ability to reformulate the given input in a manner that not only maintains an air of legitimacy but also embraces the principle of verbosity. This capability enables the effortless generation of numerous unique submissions, thereby optimizing the utilization of human resources.


        The utilization of a large-scale language model in this scenario can be deemed a highly effective and efficient approach. These sophisticated systems possess the remarkable aptitude to transform the provided text into multiple submissions that uphold a sense of legitimacy and authenticity, while simultaneously adhering to the principles of verbose and detailed expression. This approach allows for the generation of a substantial volume of content with a minimal investment of human effort and involvement.

      But like, how would they even investigate them? That’s the part I don’t understand. Whoever was peeing in there, they’re gone by the time the cops show up. It doesn’t take that long to pee.

    only five were investigated

    Can one sue Utah for gross neglience now? I mean, they got thousands of complaints from concerned citizens, and they only cared for investigating five of them? Or do they profile those complaints into “we are not investigating certain types of people”, e.g. politicians that have been reported?

      I want to know how they “investigate” this bullshit. This is a complete waste of tax payers money…but since it’s from the party of small gov. And saving money its ok cause we have to know who’s got what equipment and going into what bathrooms.

      All business’s should just swap all their signs over to unisex and be done with this bullshit.

      Just to make up for that grevious lack of action about your case, I think we should ALL file reports about those alien peepee touchers until it gets the attention it deserves.

      I mean, bathrooms are the most important thing in the world and despite it being a very modern contrivance, making sure the right people are using the right machines to whisk their poopies and pee away is critical for the survival of our species. We have to defend this noble institution against the alien peepee touchers! MAKE THEM LISTEN!

    I’m struck by the fact that as a trans woman I look more cis than some women I know who’ve given birth. I’m actually worried about a cis friend of mine if we ever get bathroom laws here.

      I’ve been saying that for a while. Not only does this open up many trans women to additional harassment, it also opens it up to any cis woman someone decides looks too masculine to be a “real” woman.

      Conservatism has only ever been about the most superficial of ideals.

      Many of them would have no issue at all with extending laws about gender to laws about appearance and I’m not even kidding. We have plenty of examples from right-wing governments and social trends of the past absolutely leaning into ideas like phrenology or inherent, essential qualities that go alongside things like hair and eye color.

      You should be concerned for your friend, everyone should be concerned that if allowed to mature, conservatism in the US would throw us right back into a time when people can face legal penalties for what they choose to wear, for how they express themselves, for the shape of their face and a thousand other ways they would want to police the world around them so it continues to look the way they want it to look. And too bad if you don’t look like someone who should live in that world.

    As long as transwomen sit down when using the loo, they are more than welcome. I’m glad that snitch line drew up nothing. Imagine if they used those funds to fascilitate free hygiene products? But noo, they gotta harass a minority…

      Why does sitting matter? I’m honestly asking because I remember my twenties and about half my friends (women) would just hover over the toilet seat. We’re all in our 40s now so I can pretty much drop the percentage to 10% hovering based on complaints about knee pain lol

      Editing to add: I’m actually too short to have ever hovered over a toilet seat, I’m not advocating hovering, but that’s not even my point. Splashes can happen for any number of reasons. Y’all want to say only those who sit down should use the women’s bathroom and I’m here to tell you women are just as gross as men in their capacity to urinate onto the seat, regardless of plumbing.

        Hovering is just as bad. Because standing causes small deoplets of urine to splash out of the toilet. Not unlike the mist at the bottom of a waterfall. By cleaning the toilet seat and just sitting down, a stall gets nasty slower.

        It’s fine if the stall is horrible already, but if it’s clean, it’s better if we keep it that way.

            Given the massive amount of things some women carry in their purses, and the plethora of choices in sanitizing wipes, I don’t understand why this isn’t solved already. If you’re afraid of butt rabies or see something suspicious on the seat, a quick wipe and you’re done. I understand most of us don’t want to carry more stuff but I’ll bet there’s a big overlap between people who already do and people who are afraid of butt rabies

          Sorry, editing my comment because I can’t read apparently. Yes urine can splash out, but that doesn’t stop women from bringing their young sons into the bathroom to pee with them. Just clean up after yourself or before if there is an issue. I would hazard a guess that adult trans women would be more likely to clean up a droplet than a young child. Maybe we just use toilet seat covers if we want a barrier?

          Also the worst offender is usually the toilet itself for splash back when flushing, in my years of urination experience.

            I don’t get what you are trying to imply. I am aware that sitting down isn’t the only option to keep it cleaner for longer.

            I know toilets can splash water on the seet. Large droplets aren’t the concern here. It’s the small particles that get out and stick to the seat, walls and floor. You can’t see it, but it does stink up the place.

            As for kids, I sure af hope the women clean up after them too. My original commenr was not about whose the worst offender, it’s about being mindful and keeping the stalls clean.

              Idk what you’re on about really. My point was why would standing to urinate preclude someone’s ability to use a certain bathroom. Like I have worked a lot of retail in my past, having to clean bathrooms and such, and I don’t remember having to wash walls in the men’s bathroom any more frequently than the women’s because of piss particles. That seems like a made up concern, tbh.

      Coed bathrooms at college seemed to work pretty well, and even improved privacy in some ways.

      • everyone washed their hands. Nothing like peer pressure to encourage that
      • stalls had walls and doors
      • urinals had little privacy walls line so many no longer do

      So if I’m using a urinal and someone walked in, regardless who they were, all they see is some guy standing there. If someone uses a stall, regardless of who they were , I can probably tell that it’s occupied and maybe judge them for their shoes, but that’s it. What’s the problem?

    Preface: I don’t care at all what bathroom anyone uses, just a silly lighthearted comment:

    But I do find it a bit funny that the headline mentions 12,000 complaints, but leaves out that only 5 of them were even looked into, lol.

      Read the article. The rest were obvious jokes, and the 5 they thought may be “plausible” didn’t result in a substantive complaint.

    I think we need to start breaking the law and self reporting. We’ll send in pictures of our junk spewing urine in the wrong room so they’ll be sure it’s a legitimate complaint.
