it should be illegal to ask for previous experience if youre offering minimum wage. so you admit that the skill is essential to the job, you dont want to pay to train someone, but youre not willing to pay experienced prices? 🤨

I have a deep appreciation for trans people in general, of course, but especially those who take the opportunity afforded by the chance to pick a new name in adulthood to pull an interesting but out-of-fashion name out of mothballs and give it new life. I'm not sure it would be appropriate to give a newly-cooked baby the moniker 'Millicent' - there's no way of knowing if they'd be powerful enough for that name - but if you want to make yourself Millicent? You're my hero.

Guys...🥹
I don’t know about anyone else but these sorts of headlines frequently make me highly suspicious so I did some follow up research after reading the article. I am happy to say that Green Sea Turtles no longer being counted as endangered is not due to the IUCN or any government shifting the goalpost for what can be considered an endangered species. The only update is, as the article states, an update in surveyed population numbers. Notably the article itself states that the current Green Sea Turtle numbers are not currently at what they historically were when the species was thriving, but this change in status over a relatively short period should absolutely be considered a significant win for conservation efforts and indicates a larger more grounded hope in our ocean ecosystems ability to heal.
Fighting for a better world is worth it and it is not too late.
I feel like the original Chinese ending is even funnier than the translation implies. My inexpert tweaks:
“Heterosexuality really is the most fragile type of sexual orientation in the world, in human history electric shock, detention, family coercion, campus and workplace bullying all were unable to change homosexuality to heterosexuality, but heterosexuals need only get a glimpse of homosexual information and movies and they can turn into homosexual”
You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.
To those curious some other keystone library species include:
—the retirees who’ve read more murder mysteries than I’ve had hot meals
—the paperback romance girlies (gender neutral) who check out every single bodice ripper the second it hits the shelves
—the dads very slowly making their way through a ‘1001 movies to see before you die’ list
—the one-man criterion collection who checks out like, three movies per day and brings them back the next. (TV series are only a minor roadblock.)
—kids who like Minecraft
---The new parents checking out 47 picture books for their 7 month old baby who clearly has nothing going on in their head except the Wii Sports Resort theme song
I suggest using your local library!
this is fred, the dot.
fred wants to grow into a beautiful tree, but sadly has no branches
reblog to give fred a branch
i will post fred status updates as he grows
look at him go!
he's figuring out how to tree!
35 reblogs, he's growing so good :D
75 reblogs, fred continues to grow
reminder to spread out your branches (ie. dont spam reblogs on one post), he's starting to get a little crowded near the trunk :(
At 1788 Reblogs, Fred is spreading nicely... But We Can Do Better :)
I would like to see the Fred again please
Oh, ✨Fred!✨

This is Fred the post. Please help Fred the Post grow more. We love Fred the Post.

In case you were wondering the Swedish opinion on Gävlebocken:
This is a store in Gävle selling christmas bucks and matches right next to one another
Okay which one of y’all had this queued for today bc my phone is blowing up
Wow, it's blowing up? I hope flames aren't involved.
So, if you're not in a techbro-adjacent world you might not know this, but a lot of gamer bros have finally started rebelling against AI. Because they were all waiting for Black Friday sales to get new PC parts, but AI companies are buying up all the PC parts, so they all logged in on Black Friday looking for deals and found everything three times as expensive as it was a few months ago. And I mean everything. It's not just GPUs this time like it was with the crypto miners, it's RAM and SSDs and even fucking HDDs.
You tell a gamer bro he can't get a 1TB SSD for less than 200 smackeroos and he'll be against anything you tell him is to blame.
There's also a large migration of gamers to Linux, which came as a surprise to me when I first learned it because the conventional wisdom for so long had been that you can't game on Linux at all. The release of the Steam Deck changed that narrative overnight, since it runs on a custom Linux distro that Valve made because they don't want to deal with Microsoft's bullshit either. The vast majority of PC games now run just fine on Linux, and the only ones that don't are ones that use a specific form of anti-cheat software (mostly online competetive games, like League of Legends). Even that will probably change in the future, since the migration to Linux will incentivize game companies to do their anti-cheat differently.
Most of the Linux distros that people are moving to have no AI features and no intention of including them. And, of course, even if some develop them in the future, the Linux community can always be counted upon to provide a no-AI alternative. They are extremely protective of their disc space, after all. So there is a real coalition building here, in a population that has a lot of cash to use to lean on the powers that be. I think we have some reason to be optimistic.
Same but also with people in their 20s or 30s+ who just discovered drawing as a hobby and are also basically beginners
To all my followers who are learning to draw, regardless of your age…
Don’t give up. Don’t let those haters and trolls get you down. Your style is beautiful. Just keep going. You’re doing amazing, sweeties.
I’m 35 and just picking up art for the first time and you are appreciated ❤️

idea:
the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.
You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it
you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.
Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."
And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.
also "ough life-saving essential medical equipment uses so much plastic" in this country you can purchase an artificial ballsack for your pickup truck
"ough watching a show uses so much electricity" on road sides there are giant electrified billboards that do nothing but show you ads
Thank you for the perspective check
i'm not a hater i simply just don't have that much hate in my heart. i Am driven by an incredible amount of burning contempt, however.
few things deserve my hatred but many are worthy of my contempt. you have to understand.
you will hear zero complaints from me about increasingly explicit gay pornography being incorporated into “mainstream” tv shows but what i will call for is a corresponding increase in explicit lesbian sex. i want dykes crawling around on their hands and knees begging to eat pussy on every tv screen in america. worldwide, even
