Bismuth posted:Yes! The bigger the tit the more support it needs. Its part of my theory as to why you can easily find small bras in a rainbow of colors, styles, and frills while its hard to find a big bra that isn't white, beige, or black and entirely utilitarian in design. They aren't for show, they're performing an important duty. Yep. If you're larger on top, the only time you can comfortably go without is when you're lounging and doing nothing around the house. It can get painful without one, and forget exercise. I fully agree with your theory about pretty vs functional. The bigger the cup, the more it looks like an engineering project.

BTW, Victoria's Secret not having larger sizes is a deliberate marketing plan, because they don't want people to shop there who aren't "their customer".

To me, the big difference is this - there's a difference between something that's a disability because of issues interfacing with the environment, and one that's a disability because it makes you feel like poo poo. Autism is often related to an interface with the environment. Things like (non-injurious) stimming and narrow focusing are an issue that could be addressed by changing the interaction with the environment (greater social change) rather than requiring the individual to change. People need to be able to communicate their needs, so the individual may need to learn methods and the environment needs to be flexible in learning different communication methods. We don't need to get rid of what's "wrong" with the person, as long as the person is happy. If the person is happy and able to live a life where they feel valued as a member of society and as an individual, that's what matters. A flexible environment with people who are educated and empathetic towards all people, and which adapts to the needs of people, would eliminate or at least significantly reduce the impact of things like autism, deafness, physical disabilites, etc. Depression, though, is inherently maladaptive. It makes you feel like poo poo, that's a huge chunk of the diagnostic criteria. Not wanting to get rid of it is kind of like not wanting to leave an abusive relationship. It makes you feel lower than dirt, but you've lived with it for so long you don't know how you would live without it. ETA: Picnic Princess, that's a good example of using healthy coping mechanisms. You know what works for you! I just thought of an example of environmental change - bathrooms. People who require assistance toileting often run into issues with bathrooms. They can run into a lot of trouble on a day out - do you hope there's a functioning, clean toilet you and your assistant can fit into? Do you avoid drinking and eating, and risk a kidney infection, so you don't need to use the bathroom? Do you wear a diaper, and risk a UTI and having to sit in your own waste? What if you get too heavy for your assistant to lift, or you need changing and the only option is the filthy floor? Maybe you just only go out for a couple of hours instead of all day, so you can go home to use the toilet. Or, public restrooms could change to be more accessible and eliminate all of those problems.

Splicer posted:Ireland and Scotland would have words with you about this. Yeah, it's really dumb to say "white people have no culture". It's like saying some generic "white" is the baseline and only things that differ from it count as a culture, or "we don't have an accent, those people do"

Soylent Pudding posted:The ways I've always heard it seriously argued is that "white people are what you get when ethnic groups trade their heritage for access to white supremacy." It's why white pride conveys something very different than say Irish pride or German pride. Absolutely, if you're saying "white culture" there's no such thing. But to say white people have no culture is silly.

hooman posted:I agree with the statement of "a white person does not have a culture" though? Their whiteness does not tell you anything about their culture. That's already been answered. There is no white culture, but white people have cultures, which they may share with non-white people. The original statement that started this chain said that since white people don't have culture, they must absorb it from others who are not white, implying not that white people come from many cultures, but that white people are acultural, and that non-white origin cultures are somehow more pure and true, which is exotification and otherizing. No one denies that there is no vast, unifying white culture.

goblin week posted:being really into polish culture in poland is basically shorthand for being white supremacist nowadays. which sucks! a thousand years of history and cool regionalisms and it’s all coopted by nazis now Which makes no sense to me, because the Nazis thought the Slavs were subhuman.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:The difference is that people with DID FEEL like their body was hijacked by another personality oftentimes because of the episodes, behavioral changes, dissociation and memory loss, but they don't actually have other fully formed personalities or identities besides their own. Of course, if you don't understand what's going on during these episodes, it can be easy to assume that some other alien identity living in your head decided to commandeer your body, but that isn't the actual case. Thanks for this, and yes, people with DID are not "plural", they're one person who dissociates and may take on different personality traits when in severe distress, fragmenting one's identity as a means of self-protection. It isn't some neato disorder where you have fully formed headmates who party with you and live distinct lives within the same body, all aware of each other and talking to each other. The "host" is usually completely unaware of alternate personalities, only aware of amnesiac or fugue states. When the "host" works to resolve their trauma, the personalities integrate and disappear, since they never existed as anything other than a coping strategy.

PhazonLink posted:related to this, the osha thread once had a post about old house, and bathrooms with a razor size slit in the wall. apparent this was THE disposal method, just put the razors in the space behind the wall. Yep, we had one of those. It's just a little tiny slit in the back of the medicine cabinet, and the razors just fall into that void beyond, from which nothing returns. ETA: We also have an ash pit under the fireplace. Cast iron door you open and shovel the ash into a pit under the fireplace. There's a tiny door on the outside (about 1' square) that accesses the ash pit so that, theoretically, you could clean it out. I don't even know how that would work - call someone with a giant vacuum cleaner? Bonster has a new favorite as of 17:18 on Sep 8, 2022 |

B33rChiller posted:I think you may be missing the drawer or hopper that is intended to sit under that door, which can easily be removed via the small door outside. Nope, it's a serious pit. Like, about 8 feet deep, just slightly less wide and long as the fireplace itself. No sign there was ever anything meant to be inserted there. ETA: it's lined with concrete. Just a big old oubliette.

AFewBricksShy posted:You're correct about Schuylkill, I definitely typed out the wrong sound for the end of that one, but I definitely don't say Hawk-en. I grew up near Valley Forge though, so it might depend on the region. I lived in Conshy, it's a nice enough place. Lived right next to the old quarry that's fenced off and has all kinds of waterfowl in it. There were resident hooded mergansers, which were really cool looking, and a friendly swan (primarily friendly because it was on the other side of the fence). There were also murderous geese that hated my little dog. Took me forever to spell the town's name, though.

I work in a health care facility and wear one constantly. There are so many benefits! I get sick a lot less, spend a lot less on makeup because I only bother with my eyes now, my face feels nice and warm, and I don't have chapped lips in the winter!

OwlFancier posted:I think they did have the big dick = stupid idea, as they used to show satyrs with big pendulous willies as an indicator of their brutish nature. The ancient Romans and Greeks also thought the head of the penis was the icky part, so people who ran around naked like athletes would pierce their foreskin and clip it shut with a piece of jewelry called a fibula, or tie it shut with a leather string (kynodesme) for modesty. It also kept them from having sex and was supposed to preserve their voice (because losing semen negatively effects your voice).
