A music festival in Halifax, Canada has apologized for “overt racism” following a volunteer staffer’s refusal to move to the back because she is Caucasian.

“According to the National Post, performer Lido Pimienta, who won the 2017 Polaris Prize, frequently asks all white members of her audience to move to the back and give up their seats to non-white audience members. They must do so regardless of whether they pay more for their seating.

“The Halifax Pop Explosion music festival is apologizing for the actions of a photographer who refused to acquiesce to Pimienta’s request during her October 19 show. Her refusal to do so was considered an ‘interruption’ and deemed an act of ‘overt racism,’ according to the festival’s board of directors, who are now promising to make changes to the event.

“The board promises to improve ‘anti-oppression and anti-racism training’ for their staff next year, essentially asking them to give in to the demands of people who supposedly face more oppression than they do.

“’We are sorry that one of our volunteers interrupted your art, your show, and your audience by being aggressive and racist,’ wrote vice-chairman Georgie Dudka on Facebook.”

I would’ve told them to go fuck themselves

“Kiss my arse” is the only acceptable response to that, if you wanted to segregate the seating y'all should have done that when you sold the tickets, a nice big sign stating “seating segregated by race” would look amazing.

It’s so progressive now that we’re promoting the idea that certain people of a certain skin colour must stand at the back for equality. It it’s not racist because it’s only attacking white people.

The left and the liberals aren’t even pretending anymore - this is an attack on white people with the intention of erasing them. Bit by bit, piece by piece, the table is being set for genocide.

What he means is that teachers who are personally licensed to carry concealed weapons should be allowed to do so on school grounds. There would be no push to give guns to teachers who were not comfortable with them or to keep guns in schools or anything like that.

The main way this is helpful is taking schools off the list of targets where you can go in completely unopposed because you don’t know for sure that there’s no one to stop you. You can’t just assume someone isn’t carrying even though you know not everyone is.

As for the stress thing, just really think about that for a second. People don’t suddenly become more volatile when in possession of a gun, I would know I (and everyone in my family) own one, how often do you think teachers genuinely attempt to kill children? You shouldn’t be leaving your children in the care of someone you think would murder them if given the chance, that’s just not a thing. If there’s a teacher who is unstable like that the odds that that teacher can pass the background check to be allowed to own or carry guns at all is highly unlikely.

That’s just not a realistic concern at all. You don’t wanna leave one gun per classroom or anything like that though because that makes it far more likely that a gun is in the hands of someone unqualified to use it than if a teacher can bring his personal handgun, hidden on his body where no one knows, or is allowed to know, that he has it. You would not know which teachers had guns unless there came a time for them to have to use it.

casual-decadence

What the shit! Maybe ban the possession of guns altogether!

That way teachers will not need to bring in any guns at all. And still not leave any one unopposed. How hard is it to do the maths?

pancakesbejealouswaffles

Because people who want to shoot other people will definitely obey the law!

If you add two pounds of sugar to literally one ton of concrete it will ruin the concrete and make it unable to set properly which is good to know if you wanna resist something being built, French anarchists used this to resist prison construction in the 80s

catgirlcaliphate

I’m just gonna go ahead and reblog this for purely educational purposes.

eggcup-deactivated20180129

added bonus is that concrete now taste good

protect-lgbtqia-kids

Sugar does not really do that. What you need is citric acid (you get that to get the hard water residues out of your pots/water boiler/washing machine), looks like sugar granules. Or concentrated vinegar. Cement needs a high ph to bind properly. So if you add acid, it won’t properly set and/or needs 3-4 times longer.

femonologue

Speaking as someone who works in the concrete forming industry: the easiest way to severely fuck up any large concrete pour is to delay it at the wrong moment.

If someone is trying to build a huge fuckoff concrete thing - say, for instance, a giant wall - they’re going to need an obscene quantity of concrete, and that’s all going to have to be transported there from the nearest mixing plant. This means they’ll have multiple trucks coming by to decant concrete in consecutive pours while the workers place it and vibrate it to ensure it all intermixes and sets properly, forming a monolithic mass. If one pour is allowed to set before the next one is added, you get a big, ugly, possibly structurally unsound gap between the two called a “cold joint.” A bad enough cold joint can completely fuck your whole project because the next engineer or inspector who sets foot on that site is going to take one look at that motherfucker and immediately embark on a quest for blood vengeance. You will literally have to cut that whole section of wall out, slap some dowels in the nearest structurally sound bits, and re-form and pour the offending segment from scratch, which represents a fortune in cost overruns and will make everyone involved very upset. This is an especially bad problem in hot climates, because the concrete curing process is exothermic - that stuff sets much faster when it’s really hot out, and its 28-day compressive strength tends to be poorer as well.

So if, hypothetically speaking, you wanted to completely shit up a wannabe dictator’s enormous unfeasible poured concrete vanity project, you could literally just randomly hassle and delay every concrete truck on its way there. Dude’s gonna end up with a giant worthless pile of shitty crumbling concrete and exposed reinforcing steel, and an army of pissed-off contractors to boot.

reblogging for purely educational purposes nothing more

enby-positive

Reblogging this here, since we previously reblogged the inaccurate version.

shy-magpie

according to Concrete Construction.net a small amount of sugar is used delibarately to slow setting by 4 hours (but actually increases strength.) Higher amounts of sugar delay setting longer, but we in delibarate use cases we are talking mixtures of 0.1%-0.3% if I understood correctly. So going off of the comment on cold joints, one assumes that if some of the trucks were sugared and some weren’t then they wouldn’t set at the same time causing the crumbling concrete they described.

rednines

essentially the point is to make it set at uneven rates so that it crumbles or is at risk of crumbling

postirony

Don’t forget to save some sugar for the gas tank of the cars and construction vehicles. It isn’t as damaging as the legends say, but it’ll sure prevent the vehicle from being operable for a while.

I live in reality; where criminals don’t obey laws, gun control doesn’t stop mass murder, and “gun free zone” signs are ignored.

A reality where there will always be someone bigger, stronger, and more violent, with a willingness or urge to kill or harm someone smaller and weaker than they are.

I live in the USA; where the law may recognize we are born with equal rights, but owning a gun will keep it that way.

So I own a gun. A gun for the protection of my right to life, liberty, and property; so I may defend my loved ones, my freedom, and what is mine, from any who would unlawfully take them away.

If you don’t like that I own a gun, you’re welcome to come and take it.

Bullets first.

cannabis-vibes

This person thinks they’re a poet of sorts, but really they’re just a moron living in their reality.

You’re not safer with a gun. But sure, keep on thinking you are.

rakhma-agape-ahavah

Tell that to my dad who used a warning shot from a gun to stop 3 men younger and stronger than him who were all armed with crowbars. It was how he was able to guarantee my disabled sister’s safety, because I promise you 3 men could have overpowered him easily.

A man approached my dad at a gas station weilding a large knife while my dad was suffering from heart problems that weakened him and eventually led him to have a heart attack. Pointing a gun at the man made him walk away and leave my father, heavily medicated with blood thinners, alone.

Or would it have been safer for my dad to be beaten while his defenseless daughter watched? Or safer for him to bleed to death in a gas station parking lot?

Wake up and smell the coffee.

cannabis-vibes

Ah, the coffee smells weak, if you ask me. What it sounds like is you have a situation, where sure, wielding a gun is more threatening than a knife. And your dad is the good guy here, in your story. And that’s great. But this is like 1% of stories where guns “help” create peace, over the 99% of the times where they don’t. So sure, great, glad you have a story that combats the fact that these are miniature machines that end people’s lives, whether they deserve to die or not. Either way, all you’re doing is perpetuating a culture that relies on guns to prove dominance.

rakhma-agape-ahavah

Did it hurt to pull those statistics out of your ass?

https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/cdc-study-use-firearms-self-defense-important-crime-deterrent

Gun control does not make guns go away. Making drugs illegal did not make them go away, making prostitution illegal did not end prostitution, making murder illegal has not stopped murder; the list goes on.

If someone is trying to harm me, or end my life, a gun ensures that I am not vulnerable and helpless. After spending many moments of my life in mortal danger, I became a gun owner.

You’re damn right I want to be dominant over anyone who tries to kill me or rape me again. I have the right to protect myself, and if you disagree with that, like I said

Come and take it

Maduro ending democracy in Venezuela by calling for a Constituent Assembly wherein workers, indigenous people, afrovenezolanos, disabled folks, women are assigned representatives tasked with amending the Constitution is the type of dictatorship I like!!!

hominishostilis

YEEEEEY, who cares if everyone is fucking starving because identity politics! WE gotta think about the afrovenezolanos and the womyn, they might fucking starve to death but we sure are fucking progressive u goys!

your point about identity politics would be (somewhat) cogent if these weren’t the groups who were a politically under trodden class prior to Chavez who saw their poverty rates drop, and saw their access to healthcare, housing, and education services increase thanks to the Bolivaran revolution

hominishostilis

“YEEEEEY, who cares if everyone is fucking starving because identity politics! WE gotta think about the afrovenezolanos and the womyn, they might fucking starve to death but we sure are fucking progressive u goys!”

Holy shit it’s like word for word lmao

increased standards of living are identity politics now?

hominishostilis

LMAO increased standards of living for very specific minority groups? Which is all you seem concerned about while the whole rest of the fucking country starved to death?

Yeah, when you actively ignore that the vast majority of the population of the country is being oppressed, because people who had shitty lives before have slightly less shitty lives under a dictatorship you enthusiastically support as it slaughters its political opponents, that’s called identity politics.

because who cares if the election was rigged, am I right? Who cares if the already suffering country of Venezuela just backslid into a full-blown communist regime, after a mock election. Who cares of all media that the citizens to consume will now be censored in order to keep any criticism of this new regime from reaching their ears, in order to keep them compliant. Who cares if even further food rationing is going to be enacted, inevitably causing the deaths of millions of those poor people that you claim to give a shit about, since they are forced to rely on those rations and they aren’t enough. Who gives a shit if political opponents are being jailed and executed in order to silence any kind of dissension. Because the special interest troops you give a shit about ate being tossed a cookie, and that’s good enough for you.

Quick question, OP, do you live in Venezuela?

Quick question, thisisspinaltapprivilege, do you live in Palestine?

Not sure how that’s relevant, but nice job avoiding my question.

To humor you, though, I do not. I also don’t intend to blindly justify Israel just because Palestine targets civilians without warning and uses human shields.

Though why did you feel the need to go through my blog and find this instead of answering me? Your tags sure were interesting too–what does my stance as ‘egalitarian’ have anything to do with my question? Please, explain to me how any of these things had anything to do with whether or not you live in Venezuela (oh, I’m guessing you don’t, seeing as you’re blatantly ignoring the fact that politicians and teenagers alike are being slaughtered for daring to speak out against the government, and how things like toilet paper are hard to come by, simply because you’d rather focus on identity politics).

I thought we were asking irrelevant questions. Now, did you brush your teeth this morning?

@hominishostilis how did you manage to get actual responses from this cunt teach me your ways

See, I was hoping to spare you the embarrassment of realizing that you, an egalitarian who ‘considers myself to fall more or less in the middle of the political spectrum’, are consorting with and ass-licking the likes of this but oh well

ad-hominem-sappies-deactivated2

So you not only are bent on defending the Venezuelan government in starving, imprisoning, and murdering its people on a regular basis, but you dig through people’s blogs as a way of ignoring the argument, you attack me for being an egalitarian and a “centrist,” you say… whatever the hell this is supposed to be

you attack the person making excellent points against your ignorant support of an actual dictatorship, and you act like you have some moral highground here.

If you took the time to look through my pages, you must have seen that I’m willing to engage in debate if everyone’s going to be mature. There’s no point in furthering this discussion.

People are actually defending Venezuela becoming a dictatorship

Then go live in Venezuela if you’re so excited about it

Can somebody please reblog this and tag samsungnote7pussy? I need her and the people like her to read this.

There have been almost 200 dead people for daring to stand in the streets and say “we don’t want this. 19 people died in election day, none older than 22. For daring to say that we want to be a democratic republic. Of those 200 only 4 were older than 30

My mother is facing unemployment, just because she didn’t vote. That means that I, a informal worker will have to maintain a three person house. But the fact that we’re brown is more important than the fact that we can’t eat anything but yucca and that two of us have anemia because of that.

Oh yeah, and all that free healthcare that we can’t use because its fucking worthless and the doctors are not being paid! And of course the medicines that can’t be found anywhere.

You know what is the real number of voters in the election? 200,000. That’s how many voters they had the last Time. But imbeciles like you will believe that 8 million number, because identity politics.

Because the poor are well known for the knowledge of politics.

El hijo de la maria, a literal thug and one of those representatives, proposed to “abolish the dollar” to be able to import stuff with bolivars. The representatives for education? Proposed to stop grading kids because it is “classicist and stressful”. Every single proposition is worse than the last. They’re going to ruin our country. Because they’re ignorant, retarded idiots without education that believe that the system has the fault for all their problems.

With this new constitution I can be given 40 years in prison with forced labor, because I’m telling you this. A murderer gets 8 and no labor.

And if you’re planning to tell me to check my sources, have in mind that all I need to do to confirm my sources is to go out my door.

You’re defending a true fascist government. But the fact that there are women in a unconstitutional group to violate the constitution is more important that our lives.

PD: ALSO, this is one of the most homophobic govs we’ve ever had. They have used us and promised to legalize marriage and help us. Instead they raid reunion places and rape the people they capture before sending them to die in jail.

So you, your people and anyone who thinks like you. Please, shut up and go fuck yourself

It’s okay to want the death of people if it’s collective! Op your a moron, give up your freedom and live in Venezuela I guarantee you that you won’t be a party member.

@samsungnote7pussy When your such a fucking communist, you do not give a shit that the average Venezuelan has lost 8.6kg or 19 pounds. That thirty-three percent of the population is living on two or fewer meals a day.

When you do not give a fuck that the government has killed protesters, shooting them at point fucking blank range.

When the government fills a National Assembly to rewrite a constitution with his cronies… in an election that WAS heavily rigged in its favour, with the company who ran the voting machines saying it was even rigged.

But who cares because minority, women representation!!!!!!!!

Fuck you people who think that this is a good thing.

Apparently oppression is okay as long as you’re represented. I feel bad for the people of Venezuela. They’re not only being oppressied, but there’s people on the internet ignoring their suffering and justifying their oppression.

You can’t buy much of anything for under $1. A lot of things are $1 and change, so wouldn’t a $2 bill be far more useful as currency than a $1 bill?

We (U.S) actually had a $2 bill but I believe it is no longer in circulations (there are still a few floating about but collectors are very avid about them)

baffledbits

Nah, they’re still in circulation, but are more uncommon than they are rare in the sense that you can still get them easily.

I just looked it up and sure enough they are still in circulation, most bussinesses don't accept them for they assume it's counterfeit currency.
