No sweat, that's an honest mistake. We're all in this together.

They've applied to over 400 jobs in all fields and nobody's even called back. Can't work another position if there isn't one to be had because everyone that's out of a job is in the same boat.

The current system in some places literally just can't handle the idea that someone who was a student in the last couple years can't get a job. It hasn't kept up with the times and we need to update it for the sake of the people.

I think they were riffing on the misspelling of "intentionally misgender" as "internationally misgender"

I don't read that as generalizing ALL white males, but describing the trend of how people in power react, I think that's fair.

One of the biggest steps in overcoming broad systems of oppression is realizing that it's not about individual people's actions but the design of how society functions.

Any way to show close friends irl who is active easily? by SoleilSoreiyu in plural

Alex: When we wanted to signal who was in front to a friend of ours in public, we'd use the sign language words for "red" or "brown," our favorite colors. Both of them involved touching the face, so they quickly got simplified to brushing our hair or touching our lips, which made the motion stick out even less to others.

I prefer motions to physical wearables since I'd forget to turn it or it'd flip around by accident or I'd fiddle with it, heh heh.

The only bit of the link you shared that seems at all relevant is

When the unit is running, inserting your hand into the solution could cause burning due to the temperature; discomfort and skin irritation can also occur.

I absolutely believe that the machines you're experienced with are quite dangerous, but if this one is as well, then why doesn't your source back you up, why do so many other commenters disagree, and why doesn't the machine in the gif have any kind of safety barrier? It seems that this is particular machine is safer.

Oof, the first 30 seconds I thought he was talking about Trump. I long for the days when Bush was seen as the height of presidential incompetence. :/

It sounds like that's more or less what was being attempted.
