This is nothing short of a war on European cultural heritage.

And it’s as malicious as it is intentionally humiliating - the EU agenda setters want renovation and reconstruction projects to reflect their narrative that our national, historic and religious culture is being phased out and replaced with a shapeless international monoculture.

Colonialist Modernism Strikes Again

EU urban development policy takes a big step backward by embracing a reactionary 20th Century ideology governing new construction in histori

It’s McDonald’s, it’s not supposed to be a high paying job

[jabberwockypie]

People deserve to make enough to live on. That’s not up for debate. This idea that some jobs aren’t “supposed to” pay enough for people to get their needs met is bullshit. Nobody should be living in poverty.

[the-space-ferret]

Yes, but it’s McDonald’s. It’s not meant to be a job to support a family, it’s mainly for support for teens or side jobs.

[aeliad]

No, it’s not. 

There is no such thing as a job “for teens” (and even if there was, they deserve a fair wage for their labor, too.) Nobody should get paid so little that they need “side jobs.” 

If your business model relies on paying people a wage that keeps them trapped in poverty, your business should not continue to exist. McDonald’s can afford to pay their workers a better wage, they’re choosing not to. 

[fandomsandfeminism]

“Its a job for teens!” Oh, is that why McDonalds closes during school hours on school days? Cool, cool, I always wondered. After all since all their employees are, ya know, high schoolers, they can’t really be open between 7:30am and 4pm Monday-Friday. Thats a thing that happens, yeah?

[dank-morpork]

And $15/hr is not a “high” wage. If you think so, newsflash, your employer is underpaying you. You should unionize too.

[cactus-1776]

This isnt $15/hr

This is £15/hr

Thats closer to $20/hour for a fast food job.

Conversions, people. Not all currencies are the same.

[q-the-light]

£15/hr is more than my Pharmacy Advisor mother earns. She spends her time dispensing complex, strong drugs to the vulnerable and needy. I don’t think that fast-food workers deserve a higher pay than people who are literally providing a necessary-for-life service.

the number of food bloggers whose husbands seem to hate food is astounding

[pulmonary-poultry]

Most of these men would get scurvy in minutes if their wives were any less inclined to act like their mothers

[seghs24]

Imagine thinking that if someone has an issue with certain types of food (hey, fun fact, a lot of autistic people like me can’t stand certain textures!) means that they hate food, need someone to mother them, or are children.

People are allowed to be picky. People are allowed to like one type of food but not another. Sometimes people can’t eat something because they’re allergic, or the taste, texture or smell bothers them, and that’s one hundred percent fine! Even if they don’t want to try your food for some sort of “childish” reason leave them the fuck alone!

Like, I understand ya’ll wanna bend over backwards to try and find random reasons that you can complain about icky horrible men, but can you maybe not shame people for not eating certain foods, which, again, CAN BE BECAUSE THEY’RE AUTISTIC AND SERIOUSLY BOTHERED BY THE TEXTURE?

[afterthesemessagesberightback]

Tumblr hates autistic people and men, news at 11.

[alaija]

The milder forms of autism were rarely diagnosed or completely unrecognised in the past.

I’m not just talking about Boomers. My original diagnoses where from ~’88, Asperger syndrome wasn’t in the DSM until 1994.

But I’m pretty sure my dad won’t eat onion or celery for the same reason my nephew has never eaten a grape....

[siryouarebeingmocked]

It’s also entirely possible these women are exaggerating for better SEO or just plain better stories. I would.

If I was, y’know, gay and married.

[7andaswitch-blade]

Can we please address the woman who apparently puts things that her husband doesn’t like in his soup for the color scheme?

[thetatteredmind]

My dad is the same way. He hates onions because of the texture, but if it's hidden well enough he normally loves it. Let people be picky, you heathens

[q-the-light]

Not liking specific food items isn't even necessarily a sign of Autism - it's just normal!! I'm not Autistic, but you will NEVER see me touch a mushroom because the texture literally makes me gag. Am I picky? No. Am I ND? No. Am I human? Yes.

Granted, my Autistic brother has a lot of foods he won't touch for various reasons, but it's not automatically a sign that someone is ND in some way.

It's 2019. Can't we just let people have food preferences already?

heatwave!

For anyone living in Europe: the first heatwave of the season is forecast for tomorrow, and will likely stretch until Friday. Please stay safe.

Open your windows at night BUT close everything, including blinds and curtains, during the day

If you need it, buy a fan, a cold blanket or a cooler

Drink a lot

Also drink mostly water, without ice

If you can, avoid getting out in the sun between 11am and 6pm

If you need to go outside, wear sunscreen and a hat

Also loose clothes and natural, breathable fabrics

Think of your pets! 

Make sure they have access to water and shade, bring them inside the house if possible, don’t leave them in a car alone

Check on your grandma and other elderly relatives! 

Old people are at risk during hot weather, so remind them to drink and stay inside with their blinds closed

If you or people you know are experiencing the following symptoms

breathlessness

chest pain

confusion

intense thirst

weakness

dizziness

cramps that get worse or don’t go away

call an ambulance.

Euros are inferior

[q-the-light]

I'm British. Here in England, houses are built to protect us from the cold and wet. They trap heat, and there's no way to escape it - most domestic homes don't have air con, and it's not overly common in commercial buildings either.

So, before you consider us inferior, just imagine it from our perspective. We're used to dealing with cold, wet, windy days - we thrive in that weather! So, when it's literally 20°C hotter than we're comfortable in, we do get a bit uncomfortable.

[occupyvenus]

Y'all are forgetting the all-time classic: Is it just my period or is my appendix about to burst? Some nice tea and a heatpack or 911 and emergency surgery?

[phantoms-lair]

There is actually a test for that last one!

Place your hand over the pain, press down slightly and release. If the pain doesn’t change by any great margin, you’re fine. If it suddenly becomes some painful you can barely stand, Get thee to an Emergency Room

The mystery of icon-preserving bees

For a decade, a beekeeper near Athens, has kept a tradition: every spring, he slips icons of Christ, the Holy Virgin and different saints in his beehives, in order to bless his bees and his yearly honey production. And every year, the very same mysterious phenomenon occurs: bees make their honeycomb cells around the pious images, meticulously avoiding covering them.

23 degrees is our hot summer bordering on a heatwave. We’ve got a boring climate here, rarely going above 25 or below -5.

You know how there’s those posts about Fahrenheit being like 0F is fucking cold and 100F is fucking hot? For us it’s more -5C is fucking cold and 25C is fucking hot.

[yourladyindank]

That’s 23 F - 77 F that is a tiny temp range. That’s barely frozen, I do not understand

[nightbringer24]

I remember this. We had temperatures that would go low 10s one day then spike up to the 20s the next. It was mental.

[q-the-light]

You need to remember these are runners who are used to running in temperatures around 5-10°C. No matter what the actual temperature is, if it's more than twice as hot as you're used to, of course you're going to suffer! It's called acclimatisation!
