Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

[systlin]

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

[dailymanners]

I am about going to gripe about something that's been really annoying me lately.

First let me start with a disclaimer that I am speaking generally here. Of course both the U.S. and Europe are both massive and diverse places containing hundreds of millions of people, and a lot of regional differences. Neither the U.S. or Europe are a monolith (although a lot of people on the internet speak of both places as a monolith, which I wish people would stop doing, since neither are).

I could be wrong about this, since I don't live in the U.S., and haven't visited everywhere in Europe. But between where I have visited in the U.S., and where I have visited / lived in Europe, and from what I know from my friends in the U.S. and friends in other European countries, I get the feeling that overall the U.S. has stricter disability access laws than a lot of places in Europe do, especially in regard to building codes.

Of course there are exceptions, I know New York city is abhorrently hostile in its design towards anyone elderly and/or disabled. Although when I visited New York city it really just felt on par with a lot of major European cities with how abhorrently inaccessible it was.

One example of this is that recently I saw a Reddit discussion where a USAmerican vacationing in France was surprised at how many staircases didn't have handrails, because according to this man handrails are required by law in the U.S.

The comments were all Europeans having an absolute field day with this. Pretty much all of the comments were some variation of "I can't believe Americans are too stupid and lazy to use the stairs without a handrail 🤣🤣🤣 what's wrong with you fat lazy stupid Americans that you can't even use stairs without a handrail 🤣🤣🤣 thank GOD I was born in Europe where I was just taught how to walk up and down the stairs on my own and don't need a handrail like a lazy fat stupid American 🤣🤣🤣"

A few people tried to gently point out that this was about accessibility for elderly and disabled people, and it's not cool to laugh at building codes that are about accessibility, but those commenters were usually shut down with some variation of "yeah well in MY European country if someone is disabled or becomes elderly we either move to a more accessible building or we modify our home to be more accessible, we don't sit around whining like a bunch of Americans that our building isn't already accessible 🙄"

Which is, such a cruel way to talk about accessibility. Why wouldn't disabled and elderly people deserve the same access to a building as anyone else? Are elderly and disabled people not allowed to visit friends and family? Anyone could get hit by a car today, and after that struggle with going up and down stairs without the use of a handrail for the next several months, years, possibly the rest of your life. It's so easy to feel smug when you can easily trot up and down the stairs without a handrail, but so cruel to be unwilling to consider anyone who struggles with stairs should maybe be allowed access to the same places as you.

Honestly when I go on vacation abroad with my elderly + disabled mother, it's often easier to go to the U.S. with her than other places in Europe, because the U.S. does tend to be more accessible (in my experience, and except for New York city ofc) making going around to different public places with my mom generally a lot easier than somewhere like France or the Netherlands.

Out of all the things you could clown on the U.S. about, why you gotta go for accessibility of all things? It's disgustingly ableist and ageist, and I have to wonder if these people actually just hate disabled people / accessible design, and are using the U.S. as an excuse to hate on disabled people and accessible design.

[raincitygirl76]

I’m a Canadian. Our disability access is probably better than much of Europe (although I haven’t visited a lot of different European countries). But it’s definitely worse than the USA.

The USA has something called the Americans With Disabilites Act (ADA), and apparently it works fairly well. An American in my WhatsApp group went to a figure skating championship in Toronto a while back and was stunned that the arena didn’t have wheelchair access for spectators. Because an American arena would have.

Not everything about the USA is awful. Not everything about Canada and Europe is great.

Also, I live in Vancouver. We didn’t have a subway system until 1986, that’s when the Skytrain was finally built. Several of the Skytrain stations were originally built with no elevators. People with wheelchairs were expected to enter or exit the system at a different station that did have wheelchair access. In 1986.

The system wasn’t built in 1896 or 1926, when wheelchairs were a newfangled idea. It was built in 1986. British Columbian Rick Hansen’s Man In Motion world wheelchair tour started in 1985 (in Vancouver).

Or well, the Skytrain was opened in 1986. Let’s say the plans for it were finalized by 1983, since it would’ve taken a few years to build. In 1983, there was already a substantial disability rights movement in Canada, but several Skytrain stations didn’t have elevators anyway, presumably because it was cheaper.

Naturally, it eventually became politically unacceptable to make wheelchair users (and people with strollers, and people with canes or walkers, and people with suitcases) skip a station because they hadn’t bothered to put an elevator in that station.

So those stations had to be retrofitted at vast expense to make them wheelchair-accessible. It probably would’ve been cheaper to just build them accessible from the start, in retrospect. But we didn’t have a Made In Canada version of the ADA, so it didn’t happen.

Also, wheelchair accessibility does not only help wheelchair users. It also helps people with babies or toddlers in strollers, people using walkers, crutches, or canes, travellers with heavy suitcases, elderly people, etc, etc. I take the Skytrain several days a week, and I see all those people taking the elevator instead of the stairs or escalators.

You know I'm really not used to being grateful to live in the US especially now but uh. Huh. Jesus fucking christ.

[penrosesun]

Also, bluntly, clowning on the USA for having comparatively good disability rights is spitting in the face of all of the disabled activists who made that happen. The USA didn’t just wake up with the ADA one day, and we sure as fuck didn’t just up and decide to enact it become so many of our non-disabled citizens were lazy and fat.

The fight for the ADA was long, and bitter, and every single line of it is thanks to decades tireless activism work. Evangelical religious groups widely opposed the ADA because they believed that disability (and especially particularly disabling conditions, such as being HIV+) was God’s will, and wanted disabled people to be reliant on (religious) charity. Most large corporations and business interest groups opposed the ADA, because complying with accessibility requirements might hurt their bottom line. The US Chamber of Commerce came out swinging against it. The National Federation of Independent Business called it "a disaster for small business" and fear-mongered about it shutting down mom & pop shops and throwing hard-working American out of work. Greyhound Bus Lines literally testified before Congress that they were ~so concerned~ about the costs of requiring disability accommodations that they believed that passing the ADA would be tantamount to denying all rural people access to any buses, because apparently having to install a few fold-out ramps and fold-up seats would instantly bankrupt every extant bus company.

The bill was trapped in limbo for months. It looked hopeless. A lot of people thought it couldn’t happen – that the lobbies against disability rights and the disabled were simply too strong.

And in response, hundreds of disabled protesters showed up in Washington, DC and crawled up the steps of the Capitol.

The Iconic Civil Rights Protest You Don't Know | American Experience | PBS

Meet the protesters who crawled their way into history—and changed how all Americans live.

How dare anyone call the USA “lazy” for our disability rights laws. We had second graders with cerebral palsy drag themselves up 100 stone steps in order to win those rights. Get the word out “lazy” out of your fucking mouthes.

#Also not to be “that guy” but#shouldn't fat and lazy people also be able to climb stairs with a little help?#I've been fat my whole life#and until I found out why (thyroid issues) I thought I was lazy as well#I have a bad knee#a bad back (congenital)#and chronic vertigo issues that all make it much harder to climb up AND down stairs without a rail for stability#but even if I didn't have all of those and just found stairs difficult#for WHATEVER reason#why would that make me worth mocking?#“fat” is such a loaded word but there are SO many contributing factors#genetic#environmental#the fact that our government pushes things on us that half the rest of the world doesn't even consider food#and lazy is a cruel way of describing conditions like depression#chronic fatigue#or just pure exhaustion from trying to scrape by on virtually nothing while wages stagnate and our economy keeps getting worse#so like#compassion how about it

adding @randomslasher's important tags, because...yeah. Going up and down stairs should be easier for everyone for any reason? It's not a competition? Let's lift each other up, people.

[dingdongyouarewrong]

THE PLOT THICKENS @averagejoey2000 explain yourself

[averagejoey2000]

I can't believe this is how I'm finding out that I got a scam forklift cert.

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

29 CFR 1910.178 (l)(2)(ii)

but I did the in person practical shit at school.

[averagejoey2000]

the back of the card even had fancy numbers on it. I couldn't have known that this isn't the one. this website sounded more official than certifyme.net, and there wasn't one with a .gov address.

[averagejoey2000]

so, I emailed OSHA, and they said that so long as I live and work in California, there's no such thing as forklift certification. I have to be told how to do it every time I get the job.

[averagejoey2000]

Update: I took a certification class in shipboard Material Handling Equipment at my federal job. *now* I'm forklift certified, but only on ships and piers and only for this company, but also rated to forklift explosives and hazardous materials. Also I'm a woman now.

Tumblr Sexyman Contest 2026 Round 5 Part 5

Ekko (Arcane)

Stanford Pines (Gravity Falls)

Remaining time: 2 days 11 hours

[abundantrandomthoughts]

I am on my knees begging everyone to please vote Ekko. At least get him to tie with Stanford please! Please!!

- Also an inventor, he and Stanford would get along in that regard

-Growing up in a poor area, he never had any formal training/schooling and used to work in a shop with his father figure so he’s a genius inventor that figured out all of the technical work ON HIS OWN!

-Last remaining black man in this year’s Tumblr Sexyman poll

-Childhood best friend/crush ended up hurting a lot of his loved ones due to mental illness and unresolved trauma, he shows her compassion and tries to support her during her worst moments (literally invented a way to rewind time for a few seconds and rewinds time over and over again causing harm to himself just to stop her from committing suicide) but doesn’t show her complete mercy when she’s actively harming people and will fight her as much as he doesn’t want to when it comes to protecting others.

-Created a resistance movement and protects those that seek refuge. Gives people hope and a chance at a better life in this little man made oasis amidst the political turbulence and world of despair.

-Man got sent to another dimension where he had his happy ending and got together with his childhood crush and gave it up so 1) he could go back to his world and actually continue to work towards the happy ending his people deserved and 2) the Ekko of his dimension could have his life back. Man knew it wasn’t right to stay there and stuck to good morals!!!

-He has his silly moments and serious moments but when it comes down to it he’s been through a lot. Lost his father figure, his older sister figure, his childhood crush, his friends, witnessed police brutality, the effects of some of his found family being groomed/going down a dark path, and he STILL chose kindness and he STILL chooses to keep moving forward and he STILL shows compassion to others, but not weakness. This man ended up growing up alone and left behind and STILL fights for a better world for everyone, whereas the rest of the main/side characters end up doing shit for themselves most of the time.

-This young adult man has been through so much from family trauma to dimension hopping and is still intelligent and resourceful and kind enough to continue creating new inventions for people. He and Stanford Pines would bond over the similar situations they’ve been through and interests they have and Stanford would love to pass the torch down to the younger generation that’s proven that they can handle the work.

-I saw some people questioning his age. For anyone questioning his age, all characters in the sexyman polls have been verified to be of adult age. For any doubters, Ekko is estimated to be around 19-20years old by the end of the Arcane S2 finale. For League of Legends depending on the game type/season arc/cosmetic skin/promotional animation he is depicted anywhere from teenage age to up to around 27years old, though no age has been explicitly confirmed afaik.

For anyone that wants a more superstitious route: this sexyman poll is known to coincide with the death of prominent figures around the world.

In its first year Sans Undertale won, a skeleton working himself to the bone running a small independent business of a hot dog stand in a lower class area, won. The Queen of England died. Common ground: Sans lived in an area that had a retired queen and a king that had to be overthrown.

Last year, Stanley Pines from Gravity Falls won, an older man who was raised Jewish yet is canonically an atheist. The Pope, head of the Catholic Church, died.

Now let’s consider the implications for a black man winning. Perhaps, a racist would have an untimely demise? Who knows! Only time would tell of unforeseen circumstances not legally related to this poll!

PLEASE consider voting Ekko, at least let him tie please!! Stanford’s brother won last year and both of them are in this poll again. Gomez is still in the running!! There’s a lot of serious competition and Ekko should genuinely be considered for a fighting chance! Please consider this propaganda in your voting opinions!

Consider this an apology for the previous sadpost:

AU where BEFORE it’s too late, Nate turns to crime specifically to fund Sam’s treatment. Pulls together a crew of people he knows are good because he’s chased them all before. Does a heist, gets the money, Sam gets better.

But now Nate’s discovered he likes crime and can use it to help people. So he keeps doing it, but he has to engage in wacky hijinks to keep his family (and Sterling) from finding out.

Breaking Bad

[tanoraqui]

#on the one hand: breaking bad but everyone he recruits is too competent to get dragged into that level of danger #and nate's still a righteous crusader so he still keeps to that moral compass #so it's fine they're all fine this is just leverage but nate's got more chill #on the other hand: nate who chose to become a criminal BEFORE internalizing that you could be both a criminal and a good person #is a nate who leaves his morals at the door every time he steps into his role as mastermind #nate has always been a Good Man the same way batman doesn't kill people #it's not some innate thing it's a CHOICE #he is following his internal rulebook to the letter #and the thing is. nate is a Good Man but he is not a good man. he follows the rulebook because he's decided to intellectually #not bc he like. feels bad about it when he does something mean #it's because that's what it means to be a Good Man: you follow the rules. you do what's right. you bring about justice. #but in this au nate has deliberately decided to put the rulebook away #so he has DECIDED that he is no longer going to be a Good Man #and oh buddy. at that point all bets are off. #he would pick his morals back up and put them on again every time he went back home to his family and his regular job #and then whenever there was a new client for a con he would slip his morals off like a heavy coat and hang them up by the door #and then he'd roll up his sleeves and unleash hell #and that strict division would be unsustainable over time & would slowly drive him absolutely insane #(also. a Good Man would not cheat on his wife. but sophie is right there; and nate is not a Good Man right now.) #(sophie wouldn't go for a true committed relationship with him...but sophie wouldn't be showing her heart so truly to this version of nate) #this au edges dangerously close to the one where nate ford really is just a mob boss running the meanest crew this side of the atlantic (@aethersea)

[kiralamouse]

Okay, I'm going to have to disagree with a few things - I don't think Nate is capable of bending his own principles. Shifting, yes, slowly and with great difficulty - the distance from "I'm Good so I can't be a criminal" to "I'm a criminal but I can be Good". But that shift coincides with a total breakdown for a reason. The man can't bend or flex at all. He relies entirely on "certain point of view" thinking to keep from shattering on his own rigid self-image and rules. His secrets all get preserved by distance; I'm not sure he could hold himself equidistant from his family and his crew without breaking. (And I definitely don't think he could split ethics into "Good mode" and "Not-Good mode". If he cheated on his not-an-ex wife, sooner or later he'd spiral into a well of Catholic guilt that would probably render him useless but definitely metamorphose him into a very, very different man than the one we know.)

And I don't think he'd ever be able to keep Maggie from finding out for long. She's incredibly sharp and knows him very well. I feel like Second David Job scenario would play out within half a dozen jobs *at the very least*, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it happened by the second or third job.

That said, the idea of him breaking in time to save Sam, and of trying to have both family/respectable IYS job and Robin Hood crew thereafter? Totally fits for me. I'd love to see whether his marriage with Maggie would survive the difference between his self-righteous crusade and her more conventional ethics. Would she stay in the world, begging him not to go where she couldn't follow? How much would Nate waver from the life of crime when he has a living son who might find out and be ashamed of his father? Would Sophie, and the rest of the crew, start interfering to try to pry Nate away from his family, and would they start succeeding, or just blurring the lines further between the sides of Nate's double life? (I will admit that I'm very curious whether Sophie and Maggie could end up falling for each other and dragging a blushing Nate into a polycule. But mostly bc I'm very fond of Maggie and Sophie's canon relationship and a polycule is the only way I can see them getting along with Nate still married and Nate/Sophie still in the cards. Mostly. Also a bit bc I like their canon relationship when they team up against Nate, because they both recognize that that man needs some pragmatism to ground his ideals.)

Also wondering if Nate and Sterling would be friends, ex-friends, rival coworkers, or what. I suppose ideally all of the above. Given how willing Sterling is to work with the Leverage crew when it suits his own ends in canon, how long till he has a reason to engage them in this version?

In the end, the most fun question is whether Parker, Hardison, and Eliot will be able to successfully conceal from Nate how much crime they teach Sam once they inevitably adopt him as their favorite kid brother and mascot.

[three-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat]

I love how Leverage went

Here's the cat burglar. She wears comfy clothes and has zero social skills. She has sex appeal but only if you're into a very specific type of woman, and crucially she has zero idea she has it. She probably doesn't know what an innuendo is.

Here's the hacker. He's a Black nerd, and also the most moral character of the bunch. He's a nerd but also not socially awkward; in fact, he's the second best at grifting, right after the person who's been doing it for decades.

Here's the muscle. In his heart of hearts, he is a chef. He is tough and manly but he uses that to look out for the working class and children and everyone else the system leaves behind. He's feared by politicians and he reminds his friend to tip the delivery person.

Here's the femme fatale. She's over forty years old, and she's the one seducing the mark. She's the heart of the team. Her calling is to be a director. She loves attending her own funeral.

Here's the mastermind. He's the only one who doesn't start out as a career criminal. He manipulates his own crew, kills two people after promising them he won't, and takes deals behind their back. He was in seminary school.

Also, here's their nemesis. He's Mark Sheppard.

mold pisses me off so much

oh you have to eat your produce the moment it leaves the store or the fuckin Hungering Dust will get it. and. poison your food

[tobiasdrake]

I ran into this post years ago and to be honest, it has completely reoriented the way I engage with food.

Like. I’ve always sorta understood that things grow moldy or stale or sour or such if left out, but I never really internalized it in a meaningful way.

But now I’m just like.

Yeah. The hungering dust. There exists omnivorous dust in the air that will eat my food if I don’t.

Those bagels have been sitting there for a week. Are we going to eat them soon or are we leaving them for the hungering dust?

Pizza’s been sitting out on the counter for an hour. Everyone’s enjoying the pizza, but if we don’t want “everyone” to include the hungering dust then we should probably put it away soon.

That’s just. That’s how food works to me now. There exists an invisible predator in the air that hungers for your yummies, and it will not hesitate to eat your food if you don’t make the effort to protect and preserve it. And eat what can’t be preserved before the dust can.

Life-changing.

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.
