When fruit get to good mushy point, put in fridge to stop from getting bad mushy fast. Fruit then stay good mushy longer and give more time to eat before bad mushy happen.

I’d add on that most on the left have also studied enough to know that people love martyrs and that very few deaths of public figures would substantially change our society.

I’d describe myself as a raging leftist, and I can count on one hand the people whose assassination I think would result in beneficial change for our society even with any blowback of support and counter assassinations. MTG has never been close to that level.

Dismantling systems of oppression and changing the way people think is far more effective.

The 24-hour news cycle so they could have a reason to have 24-hour “news.”

Have you heard of face blindness? I have kind of the same thing but with cars. As long as it’s the same color, they all look more or less the same to me unless they have bumper stickers. I also travel a lot for work, so I’m constantly getting new rentals that are all a bit different, so I never remember what I’m driving.

Those factors combined with having a poor awareness of where I am in physical space and time most days has caused me to get into the wrong car way more times than I’d like to admit. I’m just going to say it’s well into the double digits.

It’s kind of surprising how many people just leave their cars completely unlocked. I always lock mine, and when the door just opens after I hit the button to unlock my car, I assume I’m getting into the right one until it feels wrong when I sit down or if I try to put the key in the ignition and it doesn’t fit. The number of times this has happened would be higher if more people didn’t lock their cars. I quickly realize it’s the wrong car if I try to unlock it and it doesn’t unlock.

Luckily there’s a racing game that came out this year that answered this long asked question.

Hate to be that person, but this one was a pretty prominent one that I can remember in recent history (10-15 years ago was recent, right?) mainly because of his name.

As fucked up as it is, this case still seems so tame compared to Trump.

Anyway, don’t want to get into the middle of the fun y’all seem to be having nor get stuck in looking up every single politician who has raped a minor. I just remembered this one example.

The bottom image is Grant Imahara. He was a great engineer and well known for his work on several major movie franchises, mythbusters, and BattleBots. He died relatively young and tragically from a brain aneurysm.

It’s a well known phenomenon that Rickrolling has lost popularity over the past decade. This article covers the issue in more detail.

It perpetuates the myth of recycling and puts the onus on the consumer and state to recycle instead of the corporations to stop using containers that pollute the environment, will be in the environment for decades without breaking down, and is likely causing yet unknown harm in our bodies since plastic is inside all of us now.

The first of the “3 R’s” is reduce but instead of that being the focus because it hurts their bottom line, they prop up recycling and sell the lie that we can keep living as is if we just recycle more and get better at recycling.

As a long time zip-up wearer and supporter, how is the pull-over better? I always find it way more annoying to put on and take off.

It’s like putting on an extra shirt that then clings to your first shirt whenever you want to take it off so you have to work harder to not flash everyone when you take it off. For the zip-up, it just wraps around you and zips up. It’s easy on, easy off.

Pretty sure that suffering is consensual, so it’s fine. It’s like how vegans can drink human breast milk or eat people who want to be cannibalized.

Her twitter is mostly about trans people instead of HP too. She could have just kept quiet and kept having her PR team sweep all the transphobic tweets she was liking under the rug like they did early on before she went full mask off. But no, she wants to get rid of all the queer people and is actively working to try to make that happen.

Fun fact: there are plenty of stainless steel sex toys of all shapes and sizes, and a rubber is another name for a condom, so the joke works!

Yep, this is exactly it. Practice safe sex, get on PrEP for HIV prevention, talk about testing and status with any potential sexual partners in or out of the polycule, and get tested every 3-6 months.

There are a lot of different types of poly relationship structures and different names for them. The base unit of relationship is a standard couple where 2 people are together. Add another person in and they can either be in a relationship with only one of those people and form a “hinge” aka “V” or be in a relationship with both of those people and form a “triad” aka “throuple”. As many people as those involved consent to can be added this way.

Most of the time it’s one person who is in a relationship with multiple people who are each in relationships with multiple people. This forms a “polycule”. Where you have the people you’re in relationships with aka your “paramours” and they have the people they’re in relationships with aka your “metamours”. This group of relationships can take many forms and can be drawn out into a cool diagram like a molecule, hence the name polycule.

The people you’re in a relationship with can break up with you like in any other relationship and vice versa. It’s more complicated when you add in housing situations if you’re all living together, multiple people are all dating each other, or if two people are married.

Using one of my breakups as an example:
I’ve been in a triad where one person broke up with the other. I was then put in the middle of their breakup drama. I set a boundary of not wanting to deal with their drama/shit talking of the other. One of them kept breaking that boundary, so I broke up with that person while still being in a relationship with the other. Luckily I was living with the person I stayed with or that would’ve been way more complicated.

During hostile ignorance:

• I had to leave the state I grew up in to get into a place I could access medical care, get away from an unaccepting family, and get into a place I wasn’t afraid of being attacked while transitioning (being visibly trans till HRT kicked in).
• Trans panic was seen as more of a valid defence back then for killing trans people.
• I think we were seen as more of a curiosity/fetish than people, but that’s debatable since that’s definitely still an issue.
• People were more afraid of being visibly trans and finding community outside of forums was harder.
• I was certain I’d lose my job when I inevitably had to come out and had prepared for it by saving up enough to get me through finding another job. I was amazed when that didn’t happen and most of the company accepted me. I still had to deal with harassment that nowadays would probably get those people fired.

During hostile attention:

• I had to leave my home due to the state no longer ignoring us and focusing on passing laws to make our lives more difficult.
• I know a ton of trans people and have a stronger support network. Finding others is easier now.
• Medical care is easier to get now if you aren’t living in one of the states currently trying to ban HRT.
• Parents seem a little more accepting but it’s still divisive
• I’m less afraid of the average person fucking with me in most areas of the US
• I’m afraid of government attempts to round myself or loved ones up into camps within the next few years.

Generally, I prefer the visibility and broader social acceptance we have now. More people know about us, so more people hate us but way more people accept us. I see it as how being gay was in the aughts. More people were out and it was less of a big deal even though there was still a lot of hate crimes against gay people. Now it’s way more accepted outside of ultra conservative areas. I’m hoping we are more accepted within a decade instead of being rounded up and killed en masse.

Luckily the 12th amendment prevents that.

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States

This article is a good breakdown.

The transgenic mice thing is for one of the several studies listed which I think we’re justified in highlighting and poking fun of their lack of QA and reading comprehension in these releases since they’re supposed to be representing the US and acting like drunken college students doing their homework the night before it’s due.

The other studies are on the affects of HRT or “gender-affirming therapy” which is used by cis people all the time. Ever heard of a cis man going to get testosterone because he’s concerned about his low T? That’s gender affirming therapy. Most cis people don’t realize how much “trans healthcare” affects them too. Some of this research is specifically on “cross sex” hormones and is probably more directly applicable to the trans community, but it also likely has broader implications on the science of hormones and side effects for everyone regardless of if they’re cis or trans. This is one of several reasons why we say trans rights are human rights.

Volume changes based on temperature and pressure. So when we reference volume measurements like for flow rates, we typically do the math to adjust those to standard temperature and pressure. Standard pressure is 1 atm but standard temperature varies based on who you’re talking to because of competing standards. It’s usually 25 C or 20 C.

When we want to reference the non temperature and pressure corrected volume, we append actual to it so that people know what the measurement is. Some people don’t do that and that causes confusion for others using their work if the reading is standard or actual.
