"Lifting is about strength." Wrong. Lifting is about 4th grade math.

To lift 200lb you must first consider the standard issue bar weighs 45lb. The plate denominations on hand are 45lb, 25lb, 10lb, 5lb, and 2.5lb. The two sides of the bar must be completely balanced and with the bar add up to 200lb. Someone moved the 2.5lb plates. Where did they go. Solve for n.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

storm-of-feathers

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

TLDR: In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers. Wikipedia’s editors are now threatening to strike in solidarity. The Foundation is sitting on $296 million in reserves and a freshly profitable AI revenue stream. This is a confrontation with global implications.

It has been suggested elsewhere that if you are a Wiki Foundation donor, it would be a good idea to email and explain that this kind of behaviour will lead to you withholding future donations.

Me when I've just spent a week or so being digested by a dragon and my girlfriend shows up and saves me and the first thing she does is make me take a bath with her, touch me all over and show me full frontal

If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you'd be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that's before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)

The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.

If some tech billionaire who makes a million an hour stopped doing his job for two weeks, nobody would notice... well, some might notice because things would suddenly improve across the board.

ok, no, but to be real, this is a terrible day for everyone. The collapse caused by these blockages of shipping will probably kill a lot of vulnerable people. This is the cost of US Imperialism, actually. This is just going to make things worse. I know we're distanced enough from it to go hahaha funny but like. In what world can we construe this as good

@tamamita

thats what they say, but they enforce this by shooting ships that come through there, so every major shipping company in the 'west' wont go through there. From what I understand, the 3 largest shipping companies have all decided to just avoid the place, so this isnt really targeted against Specifically Israel at all

anton--rayne

Yemen explicitly said it is specifically against Israel, in solidarity with the Palestinian people against the genocide, and to support Iran after Israel kept bombing it. The decision is on the western companies, they weren't being targeted but they decided to feel threatened. Of course none of us here think its awesome awesome shipping delays happen, but honestly this is one of the least violent and least lethal ways they could've pushed back against the genocidal aggression, it is one of the most peaceful options. They aren't even stopping shipping the routes will just take longer. People support it because one of the few countries on earth is seriously pushing back against a genocide and Israel bombing other countries and this is far less violent than what Israel has been doing

tamamita

Keep in mind that this came right after Israel imposed a blockade on any humanitarian aid going to Gaza as well as the fact that Iran had repeatedly warned Israel NOT TO BOMB BEIRUT as part of the ceasefire agreement or they'd respond. If these genocidal dogs can't be put on a leash and stop murdering people for five seconds, then this form of asymmetrical warfare is justified.

firm believe that not everything happens for a reason, sometimes things are just cruel. and they shouldn’t have happened and it’s not supposed to be a lesson because we never deserved such thing.

hm some people in my inbox got really mad at this specifically. nothing you can say will convince me that some of the pain and suffering we go through is our “fate” no, it isn’t

It’s called ‘being able to see the corpse’

So if I put you in an L-shaped swimming pool, and you knew there was a corpse around the corner, you'd be fine?
