drinking a beer in a hammock in the sun realizing maybe i don't have to hit myself with hammers every day forever just some or most days
actually THIS is my new favorite doesthedogdie comment
This is mine. It's on turning red
this comment on a transformers comic page has always killed me
buisinesses mislabeling their job offers in databases gives so much unintentional comedy, I just searched under "no experience needed" and "no degrees needed" and it gave me a job opening for 'dentist'. Like sure I'll have a go, give me the pliers
Level 10 burgers event imminent. There is no time to evacuate, shelter in place immediately.
this is absolutely fucking pathetic now every single fucking streaming service is gonna start doing this shit. all y'all had to do was not watch Netflix and let it flop for a few months and they would have given up
i hate dogs with blue eyes. why is fucking jeff the killer at my back door
Do you need something.
before this starts getting notes i have to add that this is not my dog. i dont know how he got in my backyard
Neuralink is going to be eugenics by the way.
It's focused on "curing" disabled people.
There are implants that work for some. But he is expicitly trying to "solve" autism and schizophrenia. He does not want disabled people to exist.
Musk is not a friend to disabled people or animals.
It is going to be eugenics and marketed as cures for disabled people.
I want to expand a little bit:
It is eugenics if it works, and if it does not work.
As it stands, so many animals did not survive animal testing. It is nowhere near ready to be used on people. The FDA fucked up big time and people will probably die, especially those that doctors do not give a shit about and are getting desperate for help. It's not going to be just cryptobros and Elon's bootlickers.
You want to know how I know?
If it wasn't done by Elon Musk, I may have considered it for my photosensitivity. The website for the company has no mention of Elon. Neither does their twitter. LinkedIn might have it, but this is important to know because of his direction with Twitter and Spacex (Remember? Rocket fucking exploded?). People will be put off by his name being associated, and they know that.
Let's say it worked by a miracle, for argument's sake.
Disabled people would be pressured to get a surgery they may not even want. It will be sold as a "cure" for any disability. Anyone who rejects it will be seen as wanting to be disabled.
It can be taken advantage of really easily. Shit goes wrong in IT all the time. I work on an IT helpdesk for a huge company for fuck's sake. Who is going to afford the chips? Who can they be serviced by? It's another bid for a monopoly from Musk because I will promise you that they will come out of it like Apple with intentionally hostile design. You are handing control of the most crucial organ in your body to a company- and even that organ is not fully understood and can unexpected things happen. There's no fucking IT helpdesk for brains.
Do not get it. Discourage anyone from getting it. Encourage people to look into self-advocacy or self-diagnosis to keep anyone from this quack doctor.
Anonymous asked:
Is it wrong that I’m cool with “sex” being removed from the pride flag? They should bring back “magic” though.

Personally I think you’re wrong and an idiot but that’s just my opinion.
Fyi this isn’t a dig at people who are asexual or sex-repulsed. Gay sex was literally a criminal act in the parts of the United States Texas until 2003. A healthy relationship to both sex and your body is a major component of the human experience, but especially LGBTQ+ people. Yes this includes people who have a healthy understanding of their boundaries with regards to sex. To try and divorce the fight for LGBTQ+ rights from sexuality is both dangerous and ahistorical.
The “sex” stripe isn’t “have sex.” Mainstream society has no problem with people having sex. We don’t need a flag to declare our right to have sex.
The stripe means “have the sex you want to have, with the people you want to have sex with.”
And that includes “no sex, with no people.”
(For anyone who didn’t know: the pink (sex) and turquoise (magic & art) were removed because it was hard to source those colors for flags, not because of any controversy over their meanings.)

Correct. The company is not your friend. You may be friends with your colleagues, with your boss, and that’s fine. The reason I’ve stayed at my company for a long time is the people I get to work with. But the corporate entity is not your friend.
I get tasked with finding savings every goddamn quarter. And we’re not talking staples and printer paper. More quarters than not, I have to work out how to make our revised cost targets. If I’m lucky, we have vacancies we can freeze or shut down. If I’m not, it’s colleagues who need to be made redundant. Because market analysts say that we should have a higher margin to be market competitive. So you get taskings from finance to squeeze out ever single dollar saving you can. And it’s the same at every other company, no matter the happy clappy “we’re so chill” marketing.
Your employer is. Not. Your. Friend.
Know your rights. Unionise.
This is routine stuff for us librarians, too. This is a good one- I like these kinds of requests.
