[timemachineyeah]

Until the 2020 election is over I’m just gonna blanket assume any “This viable Democratic candidate is UNSUPPORTABLE” stuff is a saboteur. Like, y’all can criticize and obviously I want to process to be fair and open, but literally even a whif of “as bad or worse than Trump” or “better not to vote” and I’m gonna be like Nice Try, Russian Spy.

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

anyway, the 8 hour workday and the concept of “8 hours work, 8 hours rest, 8 hours recreation” is outdated and based on the lives and needs of married straight men who had a wife at home doing all the unpaid domestic labor, childcare, and elderly care. We should all be fighting for a 4 hour workday tbh

[shipsterella]

Research suggests that in an eight-hour day, the average worker is only productive for two hours and 53 minutes.

In an 8-Hour Day, the Average Worker Is Productive for This Many Hours

The workday and how we work are intimately related to productivity, yet more hours may not lead to increased focus, concentration, and succe

[thedramaandart]

They did an experiment with a 6 hour workday in Gothenburg, on a nursing home. The staff became happier and healthier and the elderly also became happier and more content because the staff could focus more on their needs when they weren’t overworked and tired. The staff felt they had more time and energy towards the elderly.

Recently there was an article about a care home in Stockholm were they “””over hired””” (I would argue they just hired enough people), that is they added 1,5 full time staff member. There was an economic gain, not only in health for the workers but also with fewer temps, less overtime and less time wasted on constantly educating new people.

The 8 hour workday was met with the same ridicule a 6 hour workday would. Once, the upper class thought that 14 hour days were reasonable because the poor would just get into trouble if they had time off. Even when there’s actually net gain from caring about their workers, employers prefer making them miserable and paying the cost in new hires, medical costs and poor performance. People have fought and died for our free time and our weekends, even when we know a healthy worker is a healthy company. 

So it’s not strange, nor unbelievable, to take that fight again. There’s nothing holy or special with an 8 hour workday. It isn’t set in stone. It could be done.

The second girl at least read the book to confirm that it was shit, she even had Capote on deck as backup. Chick 1 is just lazy

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

Nope. Girl 2 saw that Girl 1′s absolutely accurate analysis was being shut down just because it wasn’t stated in an intellectual way (in spite of its validity). So Girl 2 reinforced Girl 1′s opinions in solidarity and made sure that it was absolutely clear that Girl 1 was factually correct. WITHOUT taking credit for her observations (”kim is right” instead of “Actually, kim”)  

Girls supporting Girls. 

Girls not letting other girls be treated poorly.

[sweaterkittensahoy]

If you read thirty pages of a book and hate it, that’s a good analysis. Girl 1 literally said, “It sucked for these reasons, and I only got through 30 pages.” She was absolutely paying attention and trying to get it. But if all you get is a headache, fuck that book.

[mckitterick]

I love this exchange

[tokidokitokyo]

Hi, have you learnt to transform horizontal into vertical? It confuses me a lot.

Converting horizontal Japanese to vertical Japanese is not too complicated! I found this handy guide (thanks Google) that explains how to format a genkouyoushi (Japanese writing paper). There is no change in the way you write the majority of characters, but the position of punctuation, direction of the extender for katakana long vowels, and position of small hiragana/katakana characters is shown above. Also, don’t forget to start on the right and move to the left! Vertical writing is quite standardized, and I think it is easier to do than writing horizontally (which is probably because Japanese was designed for vertical writing). I hope this guide is useful, and thanks for the ask!

people are really bending over backwards to make up reasons marie kondo or her methods are problematic it’s so bizarre

[cheaphalloweencostume]

literally if you don’t wanna clean up her way just don’t do it she’s not in your house holding a gun to your head telling you to throw away family heirlooms

An Idea To Prevent A Nuclear War

[pocketrunner]

“My suggestion was quite simple: Put that needed code number in a little capsule, and then implant that capsule right next to the heart of a volunteer. The volunteer would carry with him a big, heavy butcher knife as he accompanied the President. If ever the President wanted to fire nuclear weapons, the only way he could do so would be for him first, with his own hands, to kill one human being. The President says, “George, I’m sorry but tens of millions must die.” He has to look at someone and realize what death is—what an innocent death is. Blood on the White House carpet. It’s reality brought home.” - Richard Fisher, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (1981)

[north-bi-northwest]

Never forget that part of the reason this system was never implemented was that when he presented it to his colleagues, their response was IIRC “George, that’s terrible! If he has to take an innocent life, he may never press the button.”

apparently a Tetris battle royale came out, and in addition to that just being funny on its own, we’ve also got twitch streamers getting pwned by like, retirees who have been playing tetris for the last three and a half decades

[thetyrannosaur]

they’re getting blown up live by people with handles like ‘eileen’ and ‘lovemykids72’

[roughkiss]

That is so incredible. Thank you for this news.

THIS DOES SPARK JOY

[lewd-plants]

Okay, I wasn’t gonna play it but now I got no choicr

[systlin]

My mother is one of the people absolutely fucking annihilating all young comers at this. 

Like it’s ugly. She is destroying them. 

[lewd-plants]

I hope I get matched against her just to get absolutely trashed by a bona fide Tetris Guru

[systlin]

There is no mercy or remorse. Simply a “Oh that person wasn’t very good” 

[lewd-plants]

So so-called “casual” players are bending young “hardcore gamerz” over their knees and roflstomping the shit out of them.

Somewhere up in Nintendo heaven Satoru Iwata is holding a Wiimote and laughing his ass off.

Tell your mom one of us young challengers is rooting for her to go lay down the law.

When you ask your dog what they have in their mouth

[madqueensarah]

Me, trying to get rid of anything that doesn’t spark joy: Ugh I’m such a dumbass I should throw myself away.

Marie materialising in my room: Yes, this negative attitude doesn’t bring you joy. You should thank it for getting you through your past traumas but you no longer need it or want it so it should go.
