So I been digging around in the old computer systems.

Turns out there’s a lot more statistical information still in these old databases than we thought.

whenever someone is like ‘why do burger-flippers deserve to make the same amount as x?’ and i just ask ‘have you considered that maybe x deserves to be paid more?’ because it never occurs to people that if these people are being underpaid, then there is a chance that so are they.

[zooophagous]

I see this all the time with people bringing up paramedics. “You want 15$ an hour as a burger flipper! I made less than that as an EMT!”

Yeah and it was wrong to pay YOU that little too. You got overworked and underpaid and the amount of money the McDonalds employee in the drive through gets has no bearing what so ever on what an EMT makes. Pay the EMT more too.

[saint-batrick]

it distresses me that anyone whose job it is to save my fucking life is making less now than i was in an office job in 2007.

DO NOT SUPPORT SALVATION ARMY 

[jackharknessday]

I can back this up. It isn’t only their shelters.

I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.

My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.

Do not give to the Salvation Army.

[gayfeatherfiend]

Do Not. Give. To. Salvation. Army

[rab-it-deactivated20231030]

My turn.

I’m a wildfire and disaster logistics specialist.

I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.

I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.

They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.

Then I found out.

Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.

Don’t FUCKING give to the Salvation Army.

[running-batty]

It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.

Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.

Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.

Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.

Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.

i was present a few months ago when my best friend found out that outlier isn’t pronounced “oot-lee-yay” and i haven’t been the same since

[rosietwiggs]

“average person thinks outlier pronounced oot-lee-yay” factoid actualy (sic) just statistical error. No person thinks outlier pronounced oot-lee-yay. French Canadian Georg, who has mispronounced word for 39 years, is an ootleeyay adn should not have been counted

am a big fan of the relationship dynamic that is "scary powerful lady falls in love with total himbo because he's too dumb to be intimidated by her but drinks enough respect women juice on the regular to be very impressed by and genuinely supportive of everything she does"

This good boy is a chimera, which is an animal that is genetically two animals, in this case he’s a yellow and black lab. This means he is twice the good boy. (Not my picture, found on Facebook)

this is by far the least upsetting dog chimera I’ve ever seen

It’s way too late for anyone who picks up that reference to be protected, still a good boy though.

To hop fandoms, can we give Harvey Dent this dog that is actually two dogs?

Actually, I rather like being trans

[mollyjames]

I suppose being cis would be nice and all, but it doesn’t quite have the same “I will sieze Destiny by the throat and force it into the shape of my choosing” kind of verve

[jandbksdbba]

you cant just pick and choose your gender

[saturn-itself]

Well maybe YOU can’t, coward.

[thebackrooms-moved-deactivated2]

sorry to be cringey but can we stop this idea that every furry is a sex hungry freak that likes bestiality and has really disturbing kinks. being a furry is just thinking anthropomorphic animals are interesting and cute. theres nothing inherently sexual about being a furry. just because someone says “im a furry” they arent necessarily confessing to you how they get horny for foxes with tits or diapers on dogs or something. so when u see someone make a fursona or draw an anthro animal, dont immediately think “they wanna fuck animals”. sometimes its just that….anthro animals….are fun to draw. 

basically,

[blood-drunk-discourse]

literally what is so bad about this

[spooky-catboy-angel]

Also a lot of furries are literal children

[exyrpf]

Also, furries are one of the best and most generous when it comes to supporting artists. When they commission an artist to draw something, they as a group tend to pay the best rates and be the most reliable. 

[ariasune]

Also furry communities are overwhelmingly queer - like statistically, I mean, just for example, the number of transgender furries is ten times higher than the general population, and like only 1 in 4 furries are straight.

Which is like? Firstly, not a surprise that something steeped in alter-ego resonates for queer people, especially trans people.

And secondly, also super not surprising that it’s a community that is massively oversexualized and denigrated as sexually deviant. Like, js it’s a tale as old as time to target an overlapping interest group as a guise to target a minority demographic. 

And targeting sexual shaming at queer-dense populations, hah! HAH, I’m not surprised.

I’m not even goddamn kidding, seriously. A huge chunk of bullying directed at the furry community is just socially acceptable queerphobia.

[pineappleklaxon-deactivated2020]

Don’t forget that a lot of furry hate is just rebranded hatred for autistic people, who are a decent sized chunk of the furry community.

this is your quarterly reminder that no esportsmen are trustworthy, none of them, not even your favourite esportsman; so remember: even as you and i and we support The Gamer Dudes you keep a part of your heart guarded and prepped for inevitable betrayal and disappointment because we all know what gaming is like and what young people in the spotlight with money and fame in a culture of gaming are capable of

[ginkgocrown-old-blog]

I showed this post to my boyfriend and he tried to take his shirt off like a girl and 

uh

yeah

[castielsteenwolf]

Out of the 82k notes my post got this is by far the best comment holy shit thank u for being u

[wingscanspeak]

So i tried it both ways and uh

i mean how do you do the first one without pulling out all your hair?

[zorobro]

this made me laugh really hard….

and it made me realize that girls and boys pull their shirt off differently. /amazed

but seriously I think girls just do the cross arm thing because of HAIR like demonstrated 

[wingscanspeak]

So one year, one URL change, and a hair cut later, I decide to try again… FOR SCIENCE! 

Its not science unless you write it down so 

[30secondstocalifornia]

First method:

Well done, i guess…

Second:

I fucked up

Girls… how?

[ohshititsmama-deactivated201812]

I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING OFF SHIRTS AND SO MUCH DIFFICULTY DOING IT THE OTHER WAY

[iprayforangels-deactivated20220]

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.

Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.

Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.

but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.

and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.

It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely to do with how our shirts are made. I figured it out for you. YOU’RE WELCOME!

[prince-cake]

bless you

[wingscanspeak]

look what is back on my dash. Jesus.

This came back but with ACTUAL SCIENCE you are the saviour of our generation
