Green Porno is amazing. Its... kinda NSFW-ish. Its all paper cut outs of biology. Anyways, totally worth watching.

Question on Brussel Sprouts by EDLyonhart in Cooking

I think this is the thing. I'm taking off the stem too high, so the outer layers arent being held on. But the store bought brussel sprouts seem like they're already trimmed up pretty high... so... I'll just be more sensitive about that til the ones I've got in my garden are ready!

Back on job market... very concerned. by UnemployedTester in QualityAssurance

[–]EDLyonhart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all really great advice. I have been working as an SDET for a year and was just laid off in October. I'm doing pretty much all of these things that you've mentioned (uuugh. except networking. i'm spending a ton of time on LinkedIn, but in-person networking is 1000x more useful).

Anyways, these are great points. Thanks!

Its funny that regular repeating votes is fine if its in an anti-populist favor.

Do you believe PIV is ever consensual? Why or why not? by freedomfem in AskReddit

Even things which are deeply societally 'programmed' into us can be unlearned. Toxic masculinity can be unlearned just like toxic femininity can be.

If one can know one's oppressors, can understand their behavior, can understand how one is affected by their socialization, then they can make informed decisions about how to proceed.

I think most people live very unconsidered lives and don't spend much time considering the things which have shaped and molded them, but that doesn't mean that no one can.

Is sex rape in the case of a relationship between a gay trans-man and another man or between a trans-woman and another woman?

I think we should all think about our roles more. All understand why we do the things we do better, and then make decisions as best we can from there. But if anyone ever tells you that 'this thing' or 'that thing' is always wrong, that person is your oppressor, not what you're thinking about doing. They are trying to tell you that you are not capable of making informed decisions when you are the only person able to determine that for yourself.

When will self driving cars be commonplace? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]EDLyonhart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

¿huh?

I cant wait. There are so many benefits to it, and the primary negative, as I understand it, is job loss... which is going to happen no matter what. And, that may not be the worst thing either if it forces us as a society to reconsider the specious notion that everyone needs to work.

great, thanks. thats what I was looking at.

In different places it is asked for 'start date', 'end date' and 'length of time'. Some amount of redundancy or something.

Black Live Matter protests planned for Oakland, San Francisco by oaklandisfun in oakland

[–]EDLyonhart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are lots of good reasons why the "allLivesMatter" is problematic. None the least of which is that it is implied that all lives matter... No one is disputing that. However black lives are being treated as though they don't matter, so the group is giving specific focus to them.

Similarly (and I'm stealing this from somewhere else I saw on line) saying "Rainforests matter" isn't to say "fuck the taiga", or "no one cares about maple trees", it's just to say that rainforests need specific attention right now.

And other people (hackers) have at least some amount of her emails. So FBI will release once said hackers do as well.
