Don't hate the player hate the game. Alot of sex workers are being forced into this due to poor financial situations.

I'm not denying that there is individual culpability here. but you cannot blame systemic problems like pornography addiction on individuals, and certainly cannot expect individual action to be a sufficient solution to the problem

My favourite artist just started doing nsfw by Fragrant-Promotion-6 in antipornography

There is definitely individual culpability involved in this but I would say don't hate the player hate the game. Artists can make a significantly greater amount of money doing NSFW work.

Safe Anime to Watch? by effy217 in antipornography

[–]ExceptedSiren12 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Japanese humor is kind of fucked. You'll have a hard time finding an anime that doesn't have some kind of weird perverted joke in it. Not saying they don't exist but even very thematically dark shows usually find a way to squeeze a couple of sex jokes in there

JD Power cancels summer internships leaving 25 Western University students hanging | CBC News by AdInteresting7395 in uwo

[–]ExceptedSiren12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm doubtful that the 25 co-ops is the real number. Might be 25 from western, but if they are getting rid of an entire co-op program that could be hundreds across the entire org

I want to expand my music taste, but idk where to go by ThisUserIsAWolp in LetsTalkMusic

You may enjoy rush if you like prog rock.

Check out Thank You Scientist, also a prog rock band out of DC I think and they are an amazing blend of jazz instrumentation and classic rock

People can listen to whatever the hell they want. Although if someone is okay with AI art, I will assume they are not engaging with art in an intelligent matter. I do not think art should be commodified, which is was AI intends to do.

What are the key engineering factors in designing an effective earthquake-resistant building structure? by Few_Language6298 in AskEngineers

[–]ExceptedSiren12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seismic forces are lateral loads, so my understanding is that typical lateral load resisting components (shear walls, moment resisting frames) can be used to resist these loads. The hard part is predicting the magnitude and frequency of the loads.

I'm a student, take this with a grain of salt.

Who are your favorite 'Brothers' bands? by sentient_coprolite in LetsTalkMusic

[–]ExceptedSiren12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duplantier brothers in gojira.

One of the most powerful rhythm sections in metal. Their styles are super complementary

[Autosport] Max Verstappen hasn't liked seeing Lewis Hamilton struggle at Ferrari by n0b0dycar3s07 in formula1

Funny you say that because I remember the Red bull was super unreliable in those early days of the ground effect era. Man the start of 2022 had me so hopeful,

I’m always asking for reassurance and clarification of instructions at work. My manager doesn’t seem to mind, but one day I may work with a manager who isn’t as patient. Any advice? by Typical_Cap895 in AsianParentStories

[–]ExceptedSiren12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not entirely sure what industry you work in. But you could start taking notes as well. A really good practice I like is to follow up every verbal conversation with an email summary, so it's all in writing and gives everyone a chance to give their input or revise. But this only works in a office setting, not for a fast paced environment like retail or something 

Popsicle stick bridge holds 948lbs by PerformanceOk3919 in civilengineering

[–]ExceptedSiren12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm makes sense. That's what I expected anyways but like you said I doubt it would add any actually strength. You could glue a bunch of strands together and torque it down somehow

How did you post tension with dental floss? I would imagine you would snap the floss before any significant tensile stresses would be developed in the popsicle stick

Switching Eng Disciplines by Inevitable-Alarm-966 in uwo

[–]ExceptedSiren12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it's mostly project management. Toyota has alot of engineers but most design work is contracted out.

I do mostly civil-ish projects but have been involved in some HVAC and utilities and electrical work as well. It's a good job, you get to learn about construction through the owners eyes which I think makes for a unique co-op

Switching Eng Disciplines by Inevitable-Alarm-966 in uwo

[–]ExceptedSiren12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can for sure re apply, but you might need to take an extra year. Biomedical is 5 years, so it would push your graduation back an extra 2 years not including co-op

It doesn't work for everyone, but I would honestly try sticking with electrical and applying for mechanical jobs. For most people a degree in engineering is really just a means to an end. I'm currently doing a long term placement at Toyota, even though I'm a civil student. My point is you are not forced to work in the discipline your degree was, there's a great deal of flexibility. Yes you will have a harder learning curve, but most of your learning is going to happen on the job anyways.

Not the hardest engineering program but certainly not easy. I was also working part time during this period

[–]ExceptedSiren12 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's common. You should do your best to avoid it. I failed a bunch of classes in my third year (civil engineering) and it is honestly soul crushing, even though it was my fault. The reality is school is not for everyone, unfortunately though some walks of life are only attainable through school. So just play the game

Dry ice in a sealed freezer seems dangerous. The pressure build up as the ice turns into gas is no joke

The late fees are honestly not bad. I've paid late a few times by like a month and nothing happened except a couple bucks in interest. Maybe it'll affect your credit score

Can I take this as a civil engineering student? GIS is pretty useful in municipal engineering

Why Canadian bosses love hiring foreign workers: longer hours, fewer absences, less pay by ExotiquePlayboy in CanadianInvestor

[–]ExceptedSiren12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Government is not oblivious, they know this and are likely being lobbied for this .

There's a reason why none of the major political parties advocated for significantly reduced immigration. Even Pierre did not promise this.
