What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

@RickiTarr Ha, it's funny because you mention the homeschooling and then some TV tropes for what HS may have been like. All the stereotype US high school stuff from TV shows always looked foreign to me too! While going to school in the US.

LA school was different. The movie Kids probably looked closer to the hood ass shit we lived though.

What's a more work-appropriate way of saying that we need to idiot-proof something to protect our systems from our employees?

Also, if I've already said "idiot-proof" in conversations, emails, meetings, and presentations, what's a diplomatic yet convincing way to explain that away?

Please boost for visibility as I’m meeting with HR in less than an hour.

@Alice My answer is tardy. Why am I late? Are you late to your meeting? Too late if you're not. I mean, I would say "Implement steps that will account for the usual and inevitable human errors. Errors that are bound to waste time and resources if not checked for."

Lots of debate about this, so I'm curious about the consensus.

Should children be allowed to act professionally, as in having a full time acting job in movie/TV/stage? Feel free to elaborate in the comments.

gettingcomputey,
@gettingcomputey@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr I think the career level is where I say no. Too much time day in, day out in an adult environment.

And I know that there are hour limits to how long kids are on set per day, but the limitation is against the crazy hours you work in film.

It's toughest once you have a hit. That kid is now part of a ride a whole crew is taking to make a living. And who those people are will count in how it affects them.

That is where I think it matters though. Some acting is nbd. Very cool experience with lots of free snacks. Being a star on a hit show for several seasons, though --your parents better be fucking solid, because that could mess you up. All those grifty people coming around. Some with power and money. And hopefully your parents are not the grifty ones.

@TimWardCam @RickiTarr
A kid playing pretend at mining is different. Not saying there is no danger. Just that kids do want to act sometimes. And there is a way to minimize exposure. The danger with sets is the people. In person and what they write. I think it's what is at the heart of this.

No kids in any movies or TV shows is another extreme that would require a big culture shift because we would have to be ok with adults playing like that. I think that's what has made it different.

Maybe the way film curiosity and the industry has evolved too. The "you could be in movies" thing. You guys are on it. We're mostly all poor, and something that seems like a ticket out has appeal. I think that's enabled it. Parents become more willing to say ok.

@TimWardCam @RickiTarr Interesting. Haha that's a long ass day for the finish.

I looked up TV because I always heard something about 6 hours, but turns out it's aged tiered. School is on set, but I mean that's like a substitute teacher day.

This made me laugh, but I also have to say, I'm literally never sorry that I took pictures of my food either. I look back at something I made/ate a year ago or whenever, and it reminds me of what I was up to then, like a little sensory memory trigger.

@RickiTarr I like the food pics, but I do think there's a difference between sharing the joy of the awesome food you are having, specially if you made it, and the people who post from some hotel or restaurant all the time as a flex.

Does anyone else have trouble doing one thing at a time? Like if I'm doing chores it helps to have a podcast or talk to someone, or watching TV, I need to do something with my hands, like a little handy craft, or a simple game. I love movies, but the movie has to be absolutely fascinating for me to want to go to a theater where I just need to sit there and watch. I have a large amount of tabs open on my phone all the time and I flit back and forth through a bunch of different things. Weed helps calm this down a bit.

gettingcomputey,
@gettingcomputey@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr My peoples! So much yes, and why weed is medicine to me. It helps me focus on one thing, instead of switching between things nonstop. My Sis and girlfriends always said adhd and for a long time I was resistant, but now I just accept I've been self-medicating for a quarter of a century.

That whole stereotype of a lazy stoner even annoys me because it literally helps me be productive. I know productive stoners. Specially when sticking to specific strains.

Bro, the obsession behind naming the spy contracts "eyes".

That's the common thread on who is supporting the atrocities. The same ones who agreed to spy on everything and everyone together and share the info. It's like contractual obligation to look away from genocide because --the sacred spying agreements say we are ironclad.

    Concerned about microplastics? Research shows one of the biggest sources is car tyres

    A lot of the emphasis on reducing microplastics has focussed on things like plastic bags, clothing, and food packaging.

    But there's a growing body of research that shows one of the biggest culprits by far is car tyres.

    It's increasingly clear that we simply cannot solve the issue of microplastics in the environment while still using tyres — even with electric-powered cars.

    "Tyre wear stands out as a major source of microplastic pollution. Globally, each person is responsible for around 1kg of microplastic pollution from tyre wear released into the environment on average each year – with even higher rates observed in developed nations.

    "It is estimated that between 8% and 40% of these particles find their way into surface waters such as the sea, rivers and lakes through runoff from road surfaces, wastewater discharge or even through airborne transport.

    "However, tyre wear microplastics have been largely overlooked as a microplastic pollutant. Their dark colour makes them difficult to detect, so these particles can’t be identified using the traditional spectroscopy methods used to identify other more colourful plastic polymers."

    https://theconversation.com/check-your-tyres-you-might-be-adding-unnecessary-microplastics-to-the-environment-205612#:~:text=Tyre%20wear%20stands%20out%20as,rates%20observed%20in%20developed%20nations.

    "Microplastic pollution has polluted the entire planet, from Arctic snow and Alpine soils to the deepest oceans. The particles can harbour toxic chemicals and harmful microbes and are known to harm some marine creatures. People are also known to consume them via food and water, and to breathe them, But the impact on human health is not yet known.

    "“Roads are a very significant source of microplastics to remote areas, including the oceans,” said Andreas Stohl, from the Norwegian Institute for Air Research, who led the research. He said an average tyre loses 4kg during its lifetime. “It’s such a huge amount of plastic compared to, say, clothes,” whose fibres are commonly found in rivers, Stohl said. “You will not lose kilograms of plastic from your clothing.”"

    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/14/car-tyres-are-major-source-of-ocean-microplastics-study

    "Microplastics are of increasing concern in the environment [1, 2]. Tire wear is estimated to be one of the largest sources of microplastics entering the aquatic environment [3,4,5,6,7]. The mechanical abrasion of car tires by the road surface forms tire wear particles (TWP) [8] and/or tire and road wear particles (TRWP), consisting of a complex mixture of rubber, with both embedded asphalt and minerals from the pavement [9]."
