Yea, I feel like this dude should not have a drivers license, or a gun....or really anything that could cause injury to other people. For him, I figure he'll just show up in the Darwin Awards one day, but its everyone around him that I feel worried for.

Picnic Princess posted:The national parks here has a "learn to camp" program for immigrants to borrow outdoor gear for free. It's not just national parks either, features like interpretation are looking at how we teach to remove cultural specific references and to help extend outreach, so anywhere you have interp rangers these conversations are happening. Even folks who design stuff as innocuous as signs are asking for minority input (apparently colors etc come across differently especially to cultures in which the parks haven't played the same role historically). Parks are working toward being super woke when you are not just looking at maintenance.

Midnight Voyager posted:If people can't medically wear a mask, they shouldn't be out in public either. Even people with COPD can wear a mask fine. If you can't wear a mask, you're in really bad shape... or maybe something like autistic where it's hard to wear things you aren't used to/that feel weird. In my experience, more of the legit "I can't wear a mask" isn't even from like respiratory reasons, it's more severe PTSD, autism, claustrophobia (or something closely related?) or other neuro or pysch reasons. Also, folks I know with those issues have been trying out face shields, making trips during business lulls so they can get out faster, making efforts in work environments to isolate more so they get more maskless time, etc. 100% successful? Maybe not, but they at least looked into alternatives and have given mask life a go before saying they can't.

mind the walrus posted:I'm autistic and work with people with ASD/PTSD/Comorbid Disorders who have to wear masks. I also spent time recently working in a hospital wearing masks on 12+ hour shifts. The people claiming they can't wear masks are 99% full of poo poo. Masks can be really uncomfortable and there are conditions that make it hard to tolerate, but that's all it is, and it's not erasure or denigration to say so. The vast majority of people claiming medical exemption just don't want to. And that's fine too! Really, it is. Just y'know... accept the consequences of not being able to practice safe pandemic procedure. Eat the layoff and/or the social alienation like an adult. Own the choice. Don't hide behind some nebulous bullshit. I mean, I agree, 99% of people saying it are full of poo poo. And I'm happy you and folks your working with are good with the masks, but I am always hesitant to blanket statement re:neuro or psych stuff, and I do apologise if it seemed I did. People who I know struggled have those issues. Maybe they aren't related, but it seemed like they were from explanations given to me, which is all I can base it on. Again I apologise. They all still meet my state's mandates though, just in different ways, or asked for changes from their employer (ie wFH or isolated work space to limit mask requirements). As someone said, it's about accomodations, not out and out dismissal of a public health mandate. Hell, even I've had conditions where myself or a member of my team have had to step away to take a mask off for a few minutes, so I do think some folks may struggle under certain conditions. But accomodations is not the same as a dismissal of the mandate. Anyone who just filled out some card because they don't want to be inconvenienced can gently caress off. They are like the people with fake service animals.

Anora posted:https://twitter.com/RealTargetTori/status/1292121563249160199 Yea, retail and restaurant workers aren't paid enough to deal with the verbal abuse from folks over masks, much less the more physically violent types. Honestly, we should just shame the antimask people as publicly and loudly as possible to help out our brethren who work in those hellholes.

killa-pope posted:Hey, Louisville Kroger employee here. Where I am, the only place that truly enforces is the Costco 60 miles away. No employee want to deal with the absolutely insane backlash. As someone pointed out, a person was shot over this. I hate it, but I understand the apathy. I will grant, as the store manager, he is the one dude paid to deal with poo poo. I thought he was just one of the normal managers, some of whom get paid like poo poo, so sorry about that. Also, Kroger is just a poo poo company anyway. Expecting competency (no offense) is something I gave up on there decades ago.

Bismuth posted:Maybe she's worried they're using being close to her as a "test" to see if they really want to transition too. The date more like more like "do i want to be her" rather than "do I want to be WITH her". Its good for them to figure that out but would still kinda suck for her. But, dating is a two way street. She agreed to go out with them. Maybe she is attracted to people going through similar life experiences as her and has little to do with them looking at her as a "test" or whatever Her whole attitude over still kind of bothers me. I have an ex who transitioned, and I really just am happy she found who she is, and enjoy the memories of what we had (hilarious and uncomfortable as some of it was). I feel like dating/sex etc is partially about each person learning a little more about themselves. Sure, frequently leads to people not being together, but that is just part of it.

Henchman of Santa posted:He immediately moves the goal posts to like “the real shame is that we still use these even though plastic is so bad for the environment!” Part of it is because the media keeps redefining the generations (I've seen millennial be 1977 to 2004 at the largest span), even though those people have NO social defining moments in common (being 24 during 9/11 vs not being born; just entering the workforce (mid 80s people) when the Recession happened vs being 3 years old etc). So, yea a bunch of us "millennials" know what that poo poo is, but that is because millennial keeps being redefined by stupid boomers to mean "someone younger than me whom I don't like."

Captain Monkey posted:The point, for Americans, is that their parents/grandparents actually did have remnant cultures from their parents/grandparents that were first-generation immigrants. They also usually lived in small towns or somewhat insular communities. There really were irish and italian ghettos within a generation or two of now. There really are parts of Texas where older people speak German or Czech to this day. The current 2-3 generations of people that exist and are doing that are doing so out of cultural inertia, and that is becoming its own sort of cultural signifier as well. It's a unique situation because since then, people have moved and spread out and culturally acclimated to one that is very, very different than the one their grandparents or great grandparents grew up in before they immigrated. They were also maligned and demeaned by the Anglo-Saxons who started the U.S., and that made cultural heritage a point of pride. This exactly. I grew up in a small town with lots of Scandinavians. Like 1st Gen immigrants are still alive. It was fairly common to hear Swedish or Norwegian get spoken. The churches were heavily influenced by this, there were several festivals around the heritage, businesses built around it, even the industry was influenced by the shear number of Scandinavians the town hosted. I am only like an eighth Finnish, but I grew up very much identifying with the culture (or at least that particular enclaves' variant) and being proud of it. Ethnic enclaves are very much a thing that preserve a snapshot in history of a culture along with a blending of the culture of the nation it's in. A lot of Americans were raised in ethnic enclaves, so of course they identify with the culture. Again, separate from "plastic paddies.". Those people are just ridiculous.

I mean, people lie about this poo poo. I took FMLA leave for my MIL having cancer (drive her to appts, etc), and I had to get the doctor to sign off that it was justified. I'm pretty sure when I attended my FIL funeral I brought back the funeral thing (program...?) to actually get my beareavment leave. Granted, if I hadn't it would have just turned into a different type of leave (it does a tentative auto approval that requires a manual confirmation of the leave). But yea, people are poo poo and in two of my very union jobs, these are normal requirements because people are poo poo.

Powered Descent posted:I tend to do a nearby "easy" problem and then make the corrections to get back to the original question. Like if it's 46*31, I'd start with 45*30 (which is just 450*3, so 900+450 which is 1350), then add another 30 to that (so 1380) to get to 46*30, then add another 46 to it (so 1426) and hey, that's 46*31, neat. This is literally how my (boomer age) father taught me mental math. He worked in a cannery back in slide rule days, and to do certain calculations for canning etc, you did it on the line, no access to the slide rule. So, you did mental math. That you were sent to school to learn tricks for if your high school sucked so hard they didn't teach you there. He always told me he actually learned it from his dad, who did the same work, just 30 years earlier... That was a long way to say, I hate boomers who bitch about "modern math."

I remember when I was a kid, manufacturers were all over the FLAME RETARDANT FABRICS or FIRE RESISTANT MATERIALS and I wondered who was keeping open flames in their children's bedrooms. My kid's PJs have a separate tag that literally says "keep away from fire"...so somehow I don't think that poo poo is flame retardant

The Black Stones posted:I worked mall security for a couple years and it blew my mind at how many people assumed that open to the public meant publicly owned. To be fair, public spaces have rules you have to follow too, and you can absolutely loose the "right" to be there by breaking the rules too often or too egregiously. I hate the "it's public" and "my rights" people. What about other people's right to enjoy the space too.
