Toxic gender norms hurt everyone.

I think this is exacerbated by certain people online who want to capitalize on the issue and scapegoat others (see the manosphere and how they talk about feminism) instead of actually addressing the problem

And they say it’s because “you’re prettier when you smile” or something like that?

It’s not really “4 per household”. It’s 4 per household PER ROUND. I believe the most recent ordering round started a couple months ago.

Edit: the article is from October, I think that was the most recent window. If you got your free tests from the government before then, you are eligible for 4 more

Budget

There are some circumstances where it makes sense. If you have a disability in the US, you cannot have money or you’ll lose your benefits

It would suck stuff out, the oxygen masks would drop, they’d land the plane

What is it that makes you feel not human?

What do you identify as?

That’s all you need to ask. It’s not a test with a correct answer. Your answer can even change if you learn more (I.e.: you were adopted and learn something about a parent)

Why would you farm a site with 1/1000th the users when you can just farm the original site?

The Reddit repost bots that I remember on here were just to stimulate growth so there’d be content for people to discuss

Anything thats rated for a certain db reduction. I like disposable ones personally because they tend to be more comfortable (edit: or maybe I just refuse to try the insanely expensive shit, so I could be missing out). The 3M ones in the article you linked look great, just make sure you know how to roll them and insert them

You can talk to your union though. Sometimes they can help find you employment at a related union shop or another shop within that union

Maybe the no swearing thing is part of the reason?

Just calling up a company isn’t networking

Network more until you meet someone who has an opening

It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Network

For every 200 applications you submit, you’re putting in as much energy as you could with one quality lead where you know someone. You gotta leverage connections, do informational interviews, etc. The reality is that a lot of job postings for skilled positions are put out there because the employer has to do it. They already know who they want.

Find me something that health officials say is unsafe above a specific ppm. Then find one that doesn’t have terrible effects like IQ loss when you have 10-100x that level in your water (which, to be clear, is veeeeery few people in this case)

How did you find this year old post lol

He controlled the court last time it blocked him, just sayin

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug, huh?

Bill Cosby (debatable, he has his defenders)

Aaron Burr

Charles Ponzi

Benedict Arnold

John Wilkes Booth

Shoko Asawara

A number of Yakuza leaders

Takeshi Kitano

Junya Sano

Isn’t it just a matter of slowly acclimating yourself?
