  Couldn’t you just buy other toilet paper and leave his dusty roll for his use only?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that dust is getting on your vulva, I have a bidet too. I prefer papers that are similar to scotts, where there is no dust. That extra soft stuff is aweful.

  I’d buy what I wanted and just use it myself if my husband cared.

  What free healthcare?

  Young men have to jump through the most hoops to get state level health insurance.

  I worked in plastic extrusion for nearly a decade.

  The front of the line would be about 85, but the back of the kine, where the work was, hit 110°F to 120F° in the summers.

  Absolute hell

  I’ve worked hard labor, while either:

  not being provided healcare (many chain stores keep you at 34-36 (I forgot the exact amount) hours a week so you are as close to full time as possible while still being technically part time, or they give you 10 hours a week, no bennies offered either way.)

  being offered cheap healthcare that covers nothing with $9000 deductible,

  and decent healthcare I couldn’t afford, $80 a week, I was that broke (childcare+rent is like paying 2 rents), but still had the $5000 deductible and copays.

  We work, and we still don’t get healthcare.

  Well, not federal anyway. My state does okay, but it is easy to be in the gap of not qualifying for state medical, yet still unable to afford employer insurance that may or may not cover necessary care.

  I have participated in No Mow May for three years now. I also have a spot in the yard I let be free (weeded it for invasives) for the same amount of time.

  This summer, for the first time since I have lived here, exsists an abundance of fireflys in my yard. They are everywhere, in a way I’ve never seen since I was a child.

  No Mow May, (even if just a part of your yard) gives insects a place. Bugs live in the leaves and natural debris, by keeping it undisturbed, from fall to winter is important for many bugs’ survival.

  If you like bugs, consider dedicating space in your yard for them to live. Don’t keep grass in the typical american perfect lawn way. I suggest not to spray, and look at native grasses and plants first when seeking your landscaping needs.

  I’ve noticed a real difference this year in my yard. Maybe its some coincidence, I don’t know. Either way I’m happy to see lightning bugs again

  This is a better expression of what has happened/is happening than “they have no role models”.

  The world has been changing faster and faster since the industrial revolution. Our culture seems to be experiencing growing pains from such rapid growth. There is less hope than ever,

  “The comforting lie that gets you through to tomorrow” Absolutely, the propaganda has been layed on these men thick.

  Yeah I think you’re right with it being good in a vacuum. That makes complete sense because it was different than the other games.

  I have panic disorder, so most games with combat overwhelm me as I’m just constantly afraid. I never got that with this game. Just give me a bow so i can stand hella far away and clear the area before entering it. Plus, it was really beautiful and emersive. Exploring the map was super fun.

  Assassin’s Creed Odyssey apparently, according to reddit a few years ago, was looked at as being shitty I guess? Not the best one?

  It’s the only one I played, and I played it 3 times with ~240 hours. Kassandra is my favorite character ever, in any video game. I loved the world, its beauty, the ships and sea, and shooting arrows through rocks as a demo god.

  I’ve still not touched any other assassins game.

  I wouldn’t be shocked your mother is processing shame/guilt in this comment she made.

  I’ve always tried to remain curious and open minded in my life. Do you know what I didn’t expect coming into motherhood? Needing to learn how to segregate my sense of self from my kid’s.

  It was instinctual to feel my child’s embarrassment/guilt/pain as my own, or as a reflection apon me. While some actions kids make are a reflection of parenting, some are not. It’s hard to distinguish in the early years, I imagine it carried through the life stages if not adressed. Basically it’s learning to see a literal dna extension of yourself as their own being. Your mom caught some adrenaline from hearing you’re feeling depressed or she wouldn’t have said something so emotional and targeted.

  I bet she’s overwhelmed and clearly doesn’t have the coping. Don’t take it personally, like, don’t internalize that shit. She too, her own person, and you didn’t ask for this. Feel free to keep your distance from her for a time. If you feel comfortable when you’re both in better headspace, tell her what she said hurt your feelings.

  If she responds poorly, well mom’s a shit head and now you know it. If she responds kindly and apologizes, you’ve ground to work with.

  I haven’t talked to my mom in 15 years, she responded poorly.

  I’d really like to know your experience, if any, with working in manufacturing or any other labor work.

  While you’re right with poor education being a factor, there are many other factors also.

  I’ve pulled 12 hour days in 110°F factories, where y’all pray for the sun to go down, and management to go home, so you can finally open the back door and catch a breeze.

  Even with all the education in the world, you dont want to go home and cook… a meal… after a day like that, never mind weeks or years.

  I’d really just like to know what was your hardest labor job. Sometimes we think we know about something, even with education, but in practical life, it’s not what you expected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here Here Absolutely. Also see: expensive healthcare “insurance”. Being overworked can have a person too exhausted to work out, or do much of anything outside of thier labor hours. When healthcare is too expensive and you can’t get a day off to go anyway, when your whole body hurts from repetitive exhaustion, add in poor sleeping, and yeah, poor habits form.

  Night shift folks have it the worst too. Most still have families, and sleep very little so they can spend time with them.

  So many factors are at play. To ignore them, is to concede to smug ignorance. I know these people in these factories. I know these men. I’ve worked for years along side so many.

  I can see how its broken them, especially the men. I had to beg my position in a male dominant position, because ten years prior a woman got degloved, and for a time, they didn’t let women into that department, because it’s fucking hard. I got in and did the job very well, but damn yeah, the work was hard. Even just ten years of that shit will change your entire body and habits to cope.

  RIP to this man. He is one of but many, yet his impact is not lesser on my heart. Stay safe out there folks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The article also mentions how much they have increased each employee’s workload, on purpose, to basically punish them.

  My personal health chart says I have carpal tunnel. Factory work is why I have carpal tunnel.

  There is a direct correlation between working environments and employee health. There are hundreds and hundreds of environmental factors, whether working with heat, carsonogenic materials, heavy lifting, any kind of mining, risks are everywhere in the workforce.

  If a company overworks employees, and maintains unsafe working environments, employee lives and health are increasingly placed at risk within sich environment.

  The article is clear the company is overworking it’s employees on purpose.

  An engineer asked me to run two machines over covid. We normally had three people to run two machines. I was running one, and the only operator on that day. Two machines is not safe to run with one person, nor is it possible without risking material quality on the line I was focused on. I can make good material on this line, or scrap on two lines. Fuck in my work, I could easily get degloved, 3rd degree burns, lose a finger tip, tear my rotator cuff, break a bone …all events that did happen over the years at these machines from people not paying attention to safety, something I’m not willing to risk so this engineer can “try something” on a machine he cant run himself. I told him to fuck himself in so many words. But that’s employee ownership, and my boss had my back.

  Shame on the Union for not standing up for these people. Shame on you for taking the corporate side.

  He may have died from heart attack from poor diet- but the environmental factors within a workplace, a place you spend most your waking hours, absolutely have a correlation to ones personal health. Your comment really seems to ignore that, and I’m sorry, definitely pissed me off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Back up off my nuts⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually kind of hollered at the ACLU. I did a one time, small donation a few months ago. I am poor folk.

  They have been blowing me up since. I ended up picking up the line on a sunday (I’m sorry, I’m not religious, but don’t business call me on a fucking sunday). It might have been Saturday, statement stands either way.

  But I was about to have a panic attack. This woman on the other line let me know she was wofh the ACLU and looking for donations or whatever, but I gave her the news. I’m poor, you are blowing up my phone, I gave a one time donation to do my part and now I feel attacked. You want more and more and more, and I can’t. I said, this behavior from y’all makes me regret donating. She tired to say something, I just repeated, I can’t do this, please don’t call me, and hung up.

  These politicians in their photos wear suits that probably cost as much as my entire wardrobe, it’s rude to beg money like this. I hate it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Memes from my biology class #5⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Decent folks usually back seat aesthetics to personality anyway.

  The meme is still funny. I hobby bird watch, and it’s very true in the bird world. The male birds are colored brightly if they have good nutrition, they are healthy, so the females mate with them. The female birds are boring so they blend into the environment, so they hide better from prey as they do the egg hatching thing.

  I went on a first bar date with a fella once, and I couldn’t get it out of my mind he reminded me of a cocky rooster, so boisterous. Too much personality for me, I chose not to go out with him again. A lid for every pot.

  It works a little different for employee owned companies, but you’ve the right spirit. This company grew from about 1972 on- a long, successful legacy. Shame to watch it fall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I worked for an employee owned manufacturing company for near ten years. The philosophy of our company was, “the essence of life is relationships”.

  The founder of the company was the only religious person I knew who actually followed it’s teachings, he sold his stock to the company for less than it was worth until we were 100% employee owned. The stock price then shot up from $200 a share to $6k a share in ten years.

  The company understood the importance of working ideas from the bottom up, (involving the lowest ranking employees just as much as the highest ranking). We understood the importance of company culture, and even had teams of people to make sure the needs of our employees were being met.

  We had a supervisor who by all accounts was a fine supervisor on paper, however he rubbed every single employee the wrong way, he was a cunt if i may. With the support of all of us, we were able to, I don’t want to say get rid of him, it sounds cold, but his name came up on our (truly anonymous) survey one year the company asked him to resign, and he did.

  The owner passed away in 2018, and shit got squirrely from there, i left during the pandemic. CEO and highest ranking positions then changed hands to folks not there at the founding of the company, I felt the culture shifting and left due to personal reasons. The stock has since tanked.

  I dont understand why these companies don’t see the importance of uplifting their workforce.

  I’ll never find and employer like that again i think. It was a magical decade. Of course my stock is tanked now, im to be cashed out this year.

  The ladder has been pulled right before my time my whole life so this osnt new. I went from having enough for a down payment on a house, and now i wont even beable to afford a car lmao.
