I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

doomdoomofdoom

Extending this by access to a phone and the Internet, as well as basic mobility in the area they live in

#ramble #you cannot navigate the world without these things #i think this already applies to tvs because they cannot reposses you out of having one. they may make you downgrade tho #but tvs dont really matter anymore and you NEED the internet now. its straight up non negotiable #On that note: support you local libraries. they may be the only way homless/jobless folk can get online to apply for stuff #also the roof shouldnt be leaking and the food should be nutritious but im pretty sure that was already applied in the original post #basic mobility is ideally public transport but in most cases i think it has to be a car realistically #i am slightly biased as one of the laziest people imaginable (unemployed due to mental health issues)

Those shockingly high “illiteracy” statistics that go around aren’t saying that like 22% of Canadians or 21% of Americans or whatever literally can’t read.

That’s the number of people at level 1 literacy or below. Level 1 literacy is like grade school level. Able to read labels and straightforward instructions and whatnot.

Which is like. Still higher than the ideal for sure, but it’s not like a fifth of adults literally can’t read. They’re just kinda bad at it.

Those rates are also at like 18% in the UK and around 14% in Australia which is better for sure but it’s also not like this is a problem unique to North America.

Yeah those tests usually test English reading proficiency and there’s a lot of folks in this country both citizens and noncitizens who speak English as their second language or don’t speak it at all. There’s regions of this country that are almost entirely Spanish speaking so even native born citizens who went to American schools might not be able to read in English.

#ramble #holy fuck i had not considered the language thing #like i knew that its not actually “people cant read at all” and also that most people use the statistic wrong for doomerism #but yeah that makes so much sense #also allows you to say shit like “81.2% of the global population is illiterate by usamerican standards” (an estimated 18.8% speak english)#above number is obviously very flawed. its just there for the joke.

#ramble #current events #usamerican politics #us politics #listen its too late at night for the big “this is awful” rant but you do get this from me:#diarrhea used to kill people real bad. that shit (haha) dehydrates you to death. if you got it you need fluids and electrolytes.#you can buy electrolyte powder to mix with water. might be a good idea to keep some at home.#if youre unable to retain any fluids you need to go to a hospital so you can get them via IV. this is how we prevent 93% of diarrhea deaths #also diarrhea is very very good at spreading. details depend on the cause. look up how to protect yourself.

#im not fact checking this. its just the truth now because everyone is okay and the guy- wait is the bison okay #THE BISON IS OKAY!! He will not be put down because that would be a fucked up thing to do.#but yeah in the process i did fact check it and the above is true (the teenager thing maybe not. saw mixed stuff on that)#also special shoutout to the photographer!! (and reportedly some bystanders?)#once the guy got flung the photographer (and maybe bystanders) ran at the bison to chase it off before it killed the guy #imagine seeing a bison chuck someone into to air because its That Mad. And you run towards it to maybe safe a life at risk of your own.#also the guy said the bison had plenty of opportunity to stomp/gore him while he was on the floor but it didnt #he also said something along the lines of “everything was really nice about it and Im gonna have to do pt but it couldve been worse”#which is indeed a very grandfather thing to say. tis but a fleshwound.#the grandson is uninjured too btw

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

"You read a 310-page book as a child?" is sending me.

Children's books tend to be in the 350 to 400 page area, if I recall correctly. The first Percy Jackson (which is explicitly aimed at children with ADHD and dyslexia) is 430ish pages. I don't want to bring up that book series but it is among the most read by children and even the shortest one was a good bit over 300. I wanna say 350 but I refuse to look it up. And then obviously the 5th was that massive thing with over 1000 words. Quality aside, children are very much capable of reading long books. It's kinda insane to assume they aren't?

#ramble #then again i do not believe anyone still posting on the fascism website is a real human person and not a bot #god i wish i was into reading again. i used to devour books. its been years. i think ill try and get back into it soon.

life pro tip for all women is use products marketed towards men because the only difference is they work better

women's deodorant creators are not yet fully aware women also get extremely sweaty, for example

innerchildabortionclinic

lmao just now finding out this is because apparently men's deodorant sticks to armpit hair better. so they were just out here assuming women had perfectly shaved armpits 24/7 I guess

#crimes against the gender convention #recently read a reddit thread about what womens products men use (because the inverse examples are plentiful)#and deodorant was actually the main thing mentioned. specifically dove for some reason? like too many times to be a coincidence #on a wider scale it was mostly about scented products because men dont get smells like “vanilla” or “coconut”. they get “chainsawshark”#i did buy a dove deodorant to try so if this was a very complicated marketing scheme i guess it did work #have not yet used it so i cannot confirm or deny anything #this may be germany specific also. german subreddit. german supermarket. german deodorant.#also on no basis whatsoever i think german women have (or used to have) more armpit hair/shaved less #based on very loose research i just did it was in fact more common to shave in usamerica and didnt infect the world until past ww2 #according to my mom it was pretty normal to have unshaved armpits in the 80s. like they had that on tv and stuff.

My dad read me stuff like the lord of the rings and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and Sherlock Holmes as bedtime stories when I was a kid and I dunno what sort of effect that had on my development but whatever it did I think I’m making it everyone else’s problem

cringyfuckassbitch

do parents actually read their kids bedtime stories?

I always thought that was like a cheesy trope in a tv show or smth

what-even-is-thiss

Yeah and reading to kids helps them build language skills

#posts with no deeper point #but its getting late and i wanna overshare personal anecdotes #my mom used to read to me a lot although im not sure if she did it for bedtime. i think she used to sing for that #i also had very very good language development from very early on. read and wrote at like age 4. mostly self taught.#my mom sometimes took me to her office and i got to play on the spare computer by typing letters in word at size 72 #i loved that shit.#my mom also at some point recorded herself reading winnie pooh to me. on tape. because im old.#im loving my mom a lot lately. i guess i do be healing. its easier when we're apart obviously but still. its nice.#when i got my new apartment she was the first person i wanted to tell. that felt... really nice. we even did a call. i never do calls.#life gets better and sometimes that includes your parents #let that be your takeaway of the night

The other day my wife told me about this influencer who said she needed to go on ozempic so she could go from 130 lbs down to 115 and I really cannot stress the degree to which we have so COMPLETELY lost the plot with this glp1 shit. Like not only are people are going on this shit for purely cosmetic purposes, the cosmetic purposes are delusional. This is the kind of mindset that gives people eating disorders but now because you can get a prescription instead of having to starve yourself or enduce vomiting a big swath of the general public seems eager to go along with it. Body Positivity did not go fucking far enough because I am being so real when I say that fatphobia is more of a public health crisis than obesity has ever been
