Heck just concrete dust will accumulate and cause chronic health issues. Something I hate knowing when I drive by a construction site and see a bunch of guys cutting foundations with saws, huge plumes of concrete dust, they're just breathing it unfiltered. But no one is playing up the health risks to these folks, and they aren't thinking about how bad it will be at 60 to be on oxygen or dead.

Voice transcription has gotten good enough, and my thumb has carpal tunnel bad enough, that this shouldn't be a problem anymore.

The other day someone told me they were otp with another person. I'm like, one time password? Google is like, one time password? Finally AI google was like, they mean "on the phone." Sigh I had to do research on this text.

(everyone in networking skip this comment)

Networking is, with the possible exception of cybersecurity, the most narcissistic, self-important, smug bunch of mystic assholes to exist in the IT world. None of the rest of us can stand them, but we play along because we don't have a choice. So you got a perfect education into working with them.

If it's a low level class, a 100 or 200, it's probably student ineptitude. If it's a high level course, I would expect a lot more people to pass. I work in a law school and if we see a lot of students failing one professor, it's generally a sign that professor has a chip on their shoulder.

If you're going to get nitpicky we could focus on how much heat the concrete retains vs plant life which can absorb and use the energy. All the people with concrete or rock yards around here are super hot, my dog and I have to run by in the summer. Paving vast surfaces is a poor alternative to landscaping. The soil underneath will dry and the animals, insects, microflora, etc will all be forced out and that part of the earth will just be dead.

But really it just looks dumb and Jackie planted some of those trees.

That sounds dreadful

My cats love to be NEAR the suitcase so they go in the closet whenever I open it to get a shirt. If I can't get them out, I'll shut the closet door and leave them in there for the day. When I come home they're freaked out, hungry, terrified. 15 minutes later they want in that closet again.

The cancer is now running the lab

Step back and think about why that regulation exists to begin with. No one said it's perfect but it's better than what was.

Everyone has been put under a normalization spell, the trauma was too intense too long. I tried explaining to another liberal my fears about this term's version of the January 6 insurrection, he looked at me like I was crazy. People are trained to believe the ping-pong will go on forever, save and easy.

Having no way of finding out if you're telling the truth or not, I choose to believe

Everything is "evidence" when your side has "faith" and "control of the government"

 

I posted a good faith post about the angry posts coming out of WomensStuff, knowing I was breaking the community's rules but it was a meta discussion about that rule itself. I guess I wasn't going to be shocked to be banned there, but again, this was a good faith post that wasn't trolling. Lots of men were chiming in about the subject itself.

I wake up to find I've been banned across multiple communities and servers, because the mods have updated to say, "My blood pressure too high rn."

Is this was Lemmy actually is? Worse than Reddit because the rules are "fuzzy" and every mod can do whatever they want, because they're having a bad day?
