No? I think there is a Nazi problem, but that’s it.

Though uh, the Ukrainian security chief is sounding like a Nazi here…

I’m a Midwest factory worker, so my coping strategies might help.

Those evporatuon towels? A scam. They are no better than a wet bandana or other small thin piece of cloth. Forget about that shit.

What you need is ice. Get a big cooler and a bunch of big water bottles and fill the bottles with ice water. Plan to drink about 32oz an hour, by the time your bottle is empty all the ice will probably have melted so don’t worry about that. Then hot swap to a new bottle and keep drinking.

Don’t eat less than 2 hours before work, skip lunch, and eat most of your calories after work. At work all you need are electrolytes, digestion generates heat so avoid anything your body has to work on. I have a little bottle of electrolyte tablets on me and have one every 64oz.

Wearable fans kind of help? Not a lot, but every little bit can be a life saver.

And dress as light as you’re allowed. If you’re allowed to wear leggings, do that. If it has to be jeans, get something well fitted so there is as little air between your legs and the fabric as possible. Sometimes stretchy jeans are allowed even if leggings aren’t, so look into that too.

And… I think that’s all the wisdom I have to impart from my experiences? In the Midwest it’s not humid ALL the time so I carry a spray bottle to spritz myself with, but when it’s humid that shit don’t work lol

I load 1000 steel parts into and out of a welding press every night, I know all about constantly lifting and moving heavy shit.

Yeah, by the end of the night I’m always hungry af, but as long as I keep my electrolytes up throughout the day there isn’t a problem.

Oops, looks like America’s siege warfare tactics don’t work anymore.

Okay, so SARS-CoV-2 carries these viral fusion proteins (think of them like cellular lock jimmies) on the spike protein (remember that shit?), and it uses this to bypass the membrane and enter the cell. Once inside the virus doesn’t need its jimmies anymore, so they’re discarded in the cell’s membrane. This is bad because the jimmies still work, so now these lock picks are lodged in the membrane and can latch on to other neighboring cell membranes. When this happens they fusion dance into syncytium, which are basically giant cells with multiple nucleus.

While syncytia (the plural of syncyium) are actually normal in tissues like muscle cells, when that happens in your brain or lungs its bad. At best this just kills the cells, but if they don’t die they just kinda hang around and can’t do their jobs and cause microclots.

I think.

queermunist , 11 months ago

God, they really think the problem is a lack of outreach and communication huh?

How about y’all fuckn listen?

They probably think liberals are leftists lol

Some of those accomplishments are worth celebrating, but:

A competent response to COVID-19

lol are you kidding? The only countries on Earth with a competent response to COVID were New Zealand, South Korea, and China.

Supporting domestic manufacturing of semiconductors

This is just tradewar bullshit with China. I work in manufacturing so I’m not against seeing more investment in my sector, but like, this isn’t about making good American jobs. It’s only about preparing for the inevitable war over Taiwan.

I’ll never be able to retire. I’ll be taking out the 9mm plan when I’m too old to work.

queermunist , 11 months ago

I didn’t have any fucking money back then either!

queermunist , 11 months ago

I’m 31 with no degree and no retirement savings. I’m doomed and therapy isn’t going to help with that.

queermunist , 11 months ago

having something is a lot better than having nothing

Eating cat food is better than starving, sure, but I’d rather just save myself the trouble with the 9mm retirement package.

I can’t save money. I’m spinning my wheels paycheck-to-paycheck, I have no life, I have no friends, I almost fucking died when I collapsed at work from heat exhaustion, the climate is getting more extreme every damn year, everything is too expensive and only getting more expensive, I live in hell and I am sick and FUCKING tired of Dems telling me my shitty fucking life is worth living.

Why the fuck can’t you ever acknowledge that life is hard for people? Why do you have to belittle our suffering and tell us we’re worried about nothing and that if we really tried we could make our lives worth living? Is this funny to you? Do you like to make me angry?

Maybe I won’t make it to 65! Maybe they’ll make it illegal to be trans in my shithole state and I’ll be retiring early.

queermunist , 11 months ago

Survivorship bias.

The people who went through hard times and came out the other side are the ones that are still alive. Millions don’t. They just die, either because the literally can’t afford to live or because they decide to make it quick with a gun or an overdose. You’re discounting all the many many people who have died and just focusing on the lucky ones.

Also? I need to make something clear.

I don’t want to die I don’t want to die fuck fuck fuck I don’t want to die! Stop fucking telling me to seek therapy for depression, I’m not depressed I’m absolutely terrified!

You think you’re giving some kind of sage advice from personal experience, but all I hear is “your problems aren’t a big deal, I would know, so suck it up buttercup!” It’s degrading, demeaning, and infuriating! You’re basically telling me I’m a stupid child that doesn’t know how good I have it and hasn’t grown up enough to overcome her problems with hard work and gumption.

I am a fully grown adult and I know how hopeless my life is. I can’t save money, don’t you fucking dare tell me I can, I’ve done my finances and went over the numbers enough times to know its absolutely hopeless. Therapy isn’t going to make the numbers different, so stop dismissing my legitimate material fears. Stop gaslighting me and telling me my problems aren’t real.

You are a bad person.

That sure seems like chaotic neutral or maybe neutral evil. Chaotic evil always came across to me as being evil for the lulz

Hey, kid won the lottery. Good for them.

The vast majority of 8 year old Youtubers make no money and are abused by psycho parents trying to make them into influencers.

queermunist , 11 months ago

Oh, yeah, the children that win the lottery also have abusive parents.

Still won the lottery though!

The way .world has dominated is problematic for federation, honestly.

queermunist , 11 months ago

Yeah it won’t happen on its own, there would need to be a concentrated effort to oppose .world domination at this point.

It won’t be a problem until .world starts demanding mutual defederation (i.e. instances federated with .world have to pledge to defederate from instances .world deems problematic)

queermunist , 11 months ago

They don’t like cops or America.

queermunist , 11 months ago

I don’t think they’ll do that until they federate with Threads 🤑

I was worried about a 90-9-1 situation, with .world dominating 90% of the fediverse.

China (the second largest economy on Earth and still growing) calls the shots these days, Russia is just a heavily armed petrostate. Stop jumping at Russian shadows, they’re hasbeens.

Two nuclear weapon-capable Russian planes landed in Venezuela in December 2018 in what Reuters called a “show of support for Maduro’s socialist government.”[389]

According to the Kremlin, there are about 100 Russian military personnel in Venezuela “to repair equipment and provide technical co-operation”.[390] On 23 March 2019, two Russian planes landed in Venezuela carrying 99 troops[391] and 35 tonnes of matériel.[389] Alexey Seredin from the Russian Embassy in Caracas said the two planes were “part of an effort to maintain Maduro’s defense apparatus, which includes Sukhoi fighter jets and anti-aircraft systems purchased from Russia.”[391]

National Assembly deputy Williams Dávila said the National Assembly would investigate the “penetration of foreign forces in Venezuela.”[392]

So, what, they stationed a few troops and some equipment there?

I’d hardly say that’s proof that Russia isn’t a hasbeen country. That’s just a desperate attempt to seem important.

Although lol if you think Guaidó is the legitimate president and not just a US backed puppet.

I make car parts in Iowa, fuck off. 😉

I guess there’s one thing Russia and America still agree on - Russia is a real country and not a gas station with nukes!

I feel more machine than the robots I work with. A labor unit to be used and discarded when I break down.

As someone that works with machinery on a daily basis I think they treat us about the same. The machines I work with are barely functional pieces of shit that are only kept going by quick fixes and half measures, just gotta last long enough until it’s the next shift’s problem! Capitalists treat us the same because the cost to operate and replace us is the same - if the machinery is more expensive they don’t buy it, they just scream at us to work harder.

It’s not just boys, it’s white boys. That’s an important distinction.

queermunist , 11 months ago

and, despite your repeated claims that it’s not justified, you obviously think it is

Since you’ve already decided my position for me I see no reason to continue engaging with you. You’ve already won the argument we’re having inside your head and nothing I say matters at this point because no matter what I say, obviously what I mean is something else.

queermunist , 11 months ago

No, you just shoved words in my mouth and then argued with what you pretended I was saying.

I keep saying that Russia’s invasion is an overly aggressive and unjustified response to Western provocations, but you pretend like this means I support Russia’s war. I just want peace, whereas you only want Russia to lose. You only want the peace of the graveyard and you are willing to fight to the last Ukrainian to make that happen.
