The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing....
Hypothetical question posed to women: would you rather be alone in the woods with a bear or a man? Many women said “bear”. Many men took that personally.
It’s not actually a new law, it’s a clarification of a law that already exists. The supreme court ruled in 2020 that it’s illegal to harass employees on the basis of sexuality or gender identity. The EEOC just issued a clarification that misgendering and bathroom bans count as harassment.
Yeah, before this rule clarification, there was a magic force field protecting all women’s bathrooms from rapists. It was literally impossible for women to get raped before we decided to protect the basic human rights and dignity of trans people. I’ve certainly never been sexually assaulted or harassed by cis men, but now I’ll have to live in fear, because of woke.
Most of the leadership of the Columbia strike in 1968 was young men like myself. That no longer appears to be the case — either at Columbia or the other university protests around the country....
This is a plot point in The Accidental Time Machine: goodreads.com/…/21608.The_Accidental_Time_Machine; the main character ::: spoiler spoiler jumps forward into the future a bunch of times, longer jumps each time, and hits a time where the human population is almost gone, and they’re like “yeah, the fucking time travelers keep showing up and bringing old diseases”:::
You should think about reading the Declaration of Independence sometime:
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
“Life-and-death decisions relating to patient acuity, treatment decisions, and staffing levels cannot be made without the assessment skills and critical thinking of registered nurses,” the union wrote in the post. “For example, tell-tale signs of a patient’s condition, such as the smell of a patient’s breath and their...

We’re using them. The problem is they aren’t replacing fossil fuels. Instead of a polluting coal plant, you have a polluting coal plant and a bunch of solar panels and wind turbines that were manufactured, transported, built from mined substances. It’s better than building another coal plant, but it’s not solving climate change. Power demand grows to use the available supply.
Cutting off contact isn’t being an enemy. It’s realizing that someone makes your life worse instead of better, and acting accordingly. Sure, if both sides are willing to have calm conversations and work through the issue, they should be able to. But if one side (and this poster sounds like it’s them) digs their heels in and refuses to respect the other, it’s often healthier to cut contact.
The fix is a screw to actually affix the pedal cover to the pedal (instead of just glue). So, yeah, cheap, but probably fixes the problem. (Not the next fatal problem they find though…)
When I speak, unless I’m sharing the screen I always keep looking at myself. It’s kind of strange – it clearly does not match a real-world conversation, but somehow I can’t help it....
Yep. Everybody does. Watch where their eyes are pointing, you can tell. I hide the window on apps that let me (or un-maximize the window and slide it off the screen a bit if I’m on one side).
If they’re consistently looking down and to the right (for most apps) and not scanning/reading, they’re probably looking at their own video. I’ve certainly noticed it.
I have those exact ones and I love them; I use them for running and when I’m doing stuff around the house but still want to hear people getting my attention. I had a previous version that I also accidentally turned to Chinese but I just learned to recognize the different messages.
Nah, this was definitely outsourced to a company in India; you can abuse contract/vendor employees with way less effort than it takes to abuse full-time employees.
