As someone who’s worked in restaurants what I recognize about this bathroom is all the beautiful tile. What that means is that somewhere in the house, there is a hose that spits boiling hot water. With this hose you can clean and sanitize a bathroom stall without ever having to step inside of it.

The first restaurant I ever worked in was a fast food joint and they cleaned the whole dining room this way. They had that water heater turned up to fuck-you and it was a little scary.

I know that Xwitter is usually a reliable source, but 1000nm is outside visual range and therefore not green. Green lasers in the ~500nm range will absolutely damage a camera sensor, but you’ll need good aim and sustained illumination.

Fun fact: strip clubs don’t employ the girls.

They’re “independent contractors” who actually pay the house to use the stage or the VIP rooms. This creates a natural filter so that girls that are less popular make less money until they move on. In a mid-sized city like mine, you’ll have a hierarchy of clubs from the one with the richest clients and the hottest dancers, to the poorest clients and lest attractive dancers. Also there will be a club where black dudes are more welcome. (often the “worst” club)

So, stripping was gig work before the term. And it’s no surprise that extra-exploitative labor practices were tested out on women first.

I just wanna be clear, I’m not downvoting Sarkeesian, I’m downvoting AI slop.

Shooting them in the head doesn’t kill them. Nothing can. Even chopping them into little pieces, the peaces start attacking you. You can burn them up, but that will just spread the curse to other corpses in the acid rain.

I used to work with Hospice. I once witnessed a nurse explain to a patient that their son wasn’t going to visit. The patient did not take it well. I asked her about it later and she said contacting estranged relatives on behalf of patients was practically part of the process, and refusal was more common than acceptance. Also the nurse can expect verbal abuse from both parties.

I don’t know wright or wrong, but I do know that death regularly fails to overcome estrangement.

Why is Hitler popular in India? Is it just an anti-British thing?

I know that some Irish and Indians sought alliance with Hitler to aid in their own liberation. Finland did the same thing, not because Britain was an Allied nation, but because the USSR was.

The point of those kind of estimation methods is not so you’ll agree with a clock, it’s so you’ll agree with yourself if you do it twice. Using a “foot” as a literal measuring unit isn’t so dumb if only one person is measuring.

In cooking, what a “cup” is in volume can vary by like 30% from cook to cook and depending on environmental factors. But if you’re the same cook, working in the same environment, your method will work every time.

This is a classic example of the decline of the American standard of living!

Boomer misogynists were able to hate their wives. GenX hated on their girlfriends. GenY is forced to hate women in theory.

The responses to this post are why I like lemmy.

I read this meme and dropped in here to pile on the Christian, only to find out that ya’ll are more knowledgeable and kinder than I am.

Tax that peckerwood until he starts singing spirituals.

we were not considered white until the twentieth century.

That’s a myth. While the Irish were certainly looked down upon by other Europeans, they were still European Christians and therefore white.

The Irish are set apart in Western Europe due to her anti-colonial struggles. And they were absolutely subjected to ethnic abuse at home and as immigrants. But the Irish colonial project wasn’t underpinned by race-science the way African and American projects were. It was just regular imperialism: original recipe.

This is similar to people in Eastern Europe. The word Slav sounds like slave and that’s not a coincidence.

What are your qualifications? Because If you’re not something like a trained sociologist, then your a hypocrite.

the price point isn’t outrageous, but it’s not compelling when an Xbox controller can be bought for a third the price. Track-pads are nice, but people playing Steam are often sitting right next to a keyboard and mouse anyway.

If you’re explaining, you’re loosing.

This doesn’t make any sense. China is running out of land? Solar panels are the thing taking up too much space?

Better to build the parking lots on water so that valuable land can be used for solar panels.

Even when the wealthy are shown as wicked gangsters, like in the Sopranos, or Yellowstone, it’s still glorified.

There is no consistency and no standards. It’s actually a big problem. Customers don’t have any reliable way to know what kind of dose they’re getting. And even experienced users can get surprised.

There needs to be regulation on dosage and packaging. If marijuana was more dangerous, this would be killing people. Can you imagine ordering a drink and not knowing if it was beer or liquor until you started to feel the effect?

I visited Sequoia Nat Park maybe 10 or 12 years ago. The bears were crazy. I knew I was likely to see a bear, but the animals moved into the camp like they were clocking in.

There were signs that advised campers to make noise like banging pots and pans to drive them off. Less than 30 seconds after sunset, you could hear pots and pans banging in every direction.

I saw two bears that first night, one got close enough that I could hear it breathing.

The problem with this sentiment isn’t what it tries to pay attention to, but what it ignores. Systemic power structures aren’t going to go away just because we ignore them. Half of the things you describe as personal freedom actually uphold unjust systems.

build a family

Do you know that the idea of a nuclear family is modern? Before wwII, most people lived in extended households with multiple generations. The idea of a daddy moving to a new city for his job, getting married and having 2.4 kids all directly serves capital. And is only possible with things like cars and interstates, but people act like it’s ordained by god. This idea of “building a family” isn’t the pioneer spirit, but mid 20th century marketing.
