I worked at one of the most high end restaurants in my city for a few years. It felt wonderful when someone stacked plates, because the majority of customers expected every little thing to be removed as soon as they finished. I always stack my dishes now, and put all the garbage on the top plate (never in a cup, cause the ice gets dumped in a different place)

Oooh! This is the 10th deadliest bridge disaster that we know of! I’ve been obsessed with disasters since I was a little girl, and it’s gross how some of the top 10 were caused by corporate greed…

Don’t even get me started on deadliest factory incidents or mining disasters. I could go on forever.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was my jam as a little girl… but it might just be because I ended up being bisexual and there’s a lot of beautiful and badass people in it.

I got banned from (later re-added to) r/neopets… a person was seeking help about getting back their old account, and I said they’d know which email was used because the MASSIVE neopets hack is on most people’s identity theft reports and online security data. They don’t want scammers to know about the hack, even enough over 40,000 accounts have been already stolen and a group in Brazil is making over $20K USD a month selling the rare/limited digital items, for real money, to those who don’t want to grind.

I pleaded and they let me back in. They take it very seriously.

I have a degree in postmortem science and hobby in anthropology/archeology/paleontology. The biggest extinction event this globe has ever seen, the Permian Extinction, where over 90% of ALL life (96% of ocean life) went extinct, was from pollution and a mere 10°C increase in global temperature. That’s all it took to decimate life on earth. The pollution and heat came from volcanoes, but we are on the same path. It’s already gone up 1.6°C… I do think humanity will survive, but not the majority of us.

Some of my family doesn’t believe in climate change, and/or is religious to the point that they don’t believe in carbon dating and core sample data. I wish I could make them believe, but no data in the world will work.

I was part of a documentary on the largest fires in recorded history and so many were within the last 10 years it was terrifying. One in the forests of Russia was still ongoing when the doco was finished and RELEASED!

My cheat for getting the shrimp meat out is to pinch the tail. It just slides right out.

🎵 This is the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. Good guys bad guys and explosions, as far as the eye can see. 🎵

Pansexual woman chiming in; boobs are distractingly wonderful!. I’m more of a butt girl, but always appreciate nice boobs 😅

Being a dominatrix, might help though. Nipple clamps, biting them, teasing them; it all adds to my pleasure.

Women are not a bad thing and I was just wondering what you think of this. … OK … I’m a woman, so this is interesting 😅

I’ve been opting out of every single one, but some companies are assholes and make you send it in through a written letter (Meta) or worse, automatically accept it if you’ve even just used the app/site/product after they send an email to you regarding changes. The fact that massive corporations also say all matters must be resolved in small claims court and with mandatory arbitration with the company’s arbitrator is incredibly illegal sounding. Fuck you AT&T. They were the company who fought for revoking arbitration rights in contracts. The Supreme Court decided it was legal.

I really hope a politician bans those “Class Action Waiver” and “Revoking Right to Arbitration” riders that are getting put into everyone’s Term and Conditions contracts. We should have the right to band together if a corporation fucks us over and this is ridiculous.

If you’re homeless or low income, there are programs through DHS that will send you a free phone and plan. It’s not a great phone, but they still give people the ability to apply for jobs online, contact hospitals/case workers/ shelters, and to be safe in case of an emergency. I’m not sure if other states have it, but Michigan and Colorado do

I’m immunocompromised and still mask indoors. I haven’t been sick at all since 2020 and it’s awesome! Between 40-60% of people have some form of permanent brain damage and 70-80% have long covid problems from Covid. The damage to the body compounds every time a person gest re-infected, so the numbers are terrifyingly high.

I have a postmortem science degree and it required 4 years of pre-med/pathology. With all that and what we know about the virus, I am honestly not sure I’ll stop wearing a mask indoors until we find a cure or better vaccine. I can’t stand that politicians are trying to ban masks, essentially sacrificing the elderly, disabled, and ill. A government making medical decisions, creating an environment where a person can’t mask up, regardless of if they have cancer and want to stay safe; or if they’re severely sick with something else but need to pick up medication at a pharmacy… it’s dark. It’s fucked up

Yes, but the quality is so crappy now. The same model of machine I have from 2008, is being sold today, but it’s rickety and not as powerful as it once was. Singer bought the sewing division in 2004 and kept the quality for a bit, but it plunged down in a few years.

They do, but they’re pathetic compared to their older counterparts

I think you’re putting this in a different connotation on it than I do. It’s hard to convey emotions in text… maybe I need more profanity… it’s fine if they’re taking themselves out, but it’s just fucking devastating that these assholes are hurting their kids when said adults are safe and were vaccinated.

Sewing machines. I’m a professional cosplayer and sewing/embroidering is a big part of that. My newest machine is from 2008. After that, they started adding in all these different electronic features, that are garbage. The machines both break easily and are limited to the technology/software of that time. You want a machine that can sew through leather and silk with the same grace, get an older machine. If you want something newer, avoid electronics or anything with a touchscreen.

My Husqvarna Viking Emerald 118 is so strong that when sewing corsets, my needle commonly punches through the thick ZipTies, that I use for boning, like they were butter. It’s a beast of a machine. If she ever breaks, I’m going to find a used one.

It just sucks that innocent children are hurt (or worse) in the process

This makes me happy. Hopefully it’ll encourage more people to help with his charity work too.

It’s crazy that people keep saying she prosecuted thousands upon thousands of black individuals with Marijuana charges. I swear people don’t know how to Google and find out that she oversaw 1900 cases, (which was a total for her AND those under her) but only 45 went to prison for it… and those were extreme cases. I’ve used the LetMeGoogleThatForYou site more than I’d like to admit.
