would like to see a source or at least more information… otherwise this is just low-information vibes, a meme that succeeds by speaking to common experiences without necessarily being rooted in anything more substantive (i.e. a mirror rather than reflection or analysis)

managed to hang some black-out drapes with tension rods

finally got a bath towel hook for the door, since the landlord didn’t bother installing a towel rod in the bathroom 😅

have had some wonderful interactions with strangers recently, and just generally feeling quite happy and hopeful

if you read the article it talks about this, but it doesn’t make sense - the workplace detentions in blue states are often of people with no criminal record, so it seems more targeted.

Maybe ICE is being lazy in red states and just picking up those who land in jails and prisons, but the Trump admin seem to be punitive of sanctuary cities by targeting workplaces in particular:

But advocates for immigrant rights say the community arrests – from raids at factories and restaurants to surprise detentions at ICE check-ins – are punitive measures aimed at instilling fear in blue states and cities.

The aggressive tactics reflect “a deliberate federal strategy to punish Massachusetts and other immigrant-friendly states for standing up against Trump’s reckless deportation machine,” argued Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, the executive director of Lawyers for Civil Rights, a Boston-based nonprofit that represents immigrants in court.

thanks for the link!

Trump officials say the differing tactics are simply a downstream effect of sanctuary policies in many Democratic-controlled states and large cities, which can limit prisons and jails from cooperating with ICE. In many of those states, local authorities can’t hold immigrants in custody based on ICE orders alone – so they’re often released before immigration officials can arrest them.

thought this was interesting

The divide is especially dramatic in Massachusetts, where 94% of immigrants arrested by ICE were apprehended in the community, and 78% of them had no criminal record.

with so many from blue states having no criminal record, the Trump administration’s claim that allowing law enforcement to cooperate with ICE would solve this seems like a straight forward lie - it would only apply to a minority of people being detained in workplaces in blue states…

yes, the reason to be sensitive about Judaism is the robust history and present of oppression Jews have experienced. It’s unfortunate that Israel uses this as a basis of dismissing legitimate criticism of their crimes as anti-Semitism.

For comparison, imagine a Black ethno-state committing genocide (e.g. like in Ethiopia) and then dismissing critics as merely racists.

ha, relatable

I do have to think about these assumptions in web design, e.g. using block start or end padding styles instead of padding left or right, so that the page will render correctly if loaded in a different cultural context / language. Euro-centrism is strong, but English isn’t the only language, and Western culture isn’t the only culture.

💀💀💀

agreed, I think the reasoning makes sense given that context 😄

this assumes a left to right interpretation which is not universal, the graphic in a sense is not absolutely red then blue

the text could be positioned left and right like the graphic does, but I found it natural to list the larger number first and the smaller second - so not everyone feels the same as you about the graphic being confusing

smh my head

yes.

i don’t get it (other than beard stubble bad, absolutely get that)

ah, that explains my confusion - thank you for clearing that up!

I was shocked about the time too, I have no idea how the surgeon gets the time that low.

The staff felt similar amazement and talked about how important reducing time under anesthesia is, that risks go up the longer the patient is under and so on. Apparently the surgeon’s top-surgery times are also very low, he works quickly.

Even with the short surgery time, I ended up with numbness in one of my arms from being unconscious and my arm being in the wrong position for too long. The tingling and numbness lasted a day or two before going away, but that was unnerving.

ah, I wasn’t sure because I was reading this:

The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin determines the content of oxygen in blood. After the human body reaches around 2,100 metres (6,900 ft) above sea level, the saturation of oxyhemoglobin begins to decrease rapidly.[2] However, the human body has both short-term and long-term adaptations to altitude that allow it to partially compensate for the lack of oxygen. There is a limit to the level of adaptation; mountaineers refer to the altitudes above 8,000 metres (26,000 ft) as the death zone, where it is generally believed that no human body can acclimatize.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude_on_humans

it seemed like between 7,000 and 8,000 26,000 the air is not suitable, but I figured the pilot wasn’t likely to be taking risks like that, so there must be some explanation

edit: mixed up feet and meters

because qualifying someone’s gender like that can be dehumanizing …

edit: not to mention the problems with outing someone unnecessarily

most trans folks live as their gender, and the incorrect assignment that happened at their birth is not generally something they want disclosed in most contexts

why specify MtF in this context, the girlfriend is just F, that doesn’t really require qualifying does it?

why was it cold, because they couldn’t maintain an internal cabin atmosphere, including temperature?

Also, I had to look it up, but just wanted to confirm 7000 feet is much lower than typical 737 cruising altitude, which is usually 30,000 - 40,000 feet.

7000 feet is still pretty high and around where oxygen saturation decreases - could you tell any effect? I just assume they were able to still oxygenate the cabin even if they couldn’t go as high 🤷‍♀️

have you had any luck at Torrid? that’s one of the few IRL places I’ve found that have clothes that fit me 😅

doesn’t this teach us something about the contextual nature of knowledge? It’s not just about access to a set of facts, arguably the facts we choose to look at and how we interpret them are more relevant- whether that’s a 9/11 truther choosing to look at “anomalous” facts that give them a feeling of justification for taking bold speculative leaps about the hidden truth, or a liberal who focuses on the war crimes committed by conservatives as condemnatory while they ignore or downplay when liberals have committed similar atrocities or violated international laws.

The context determines how the facts are interpreted, what weight they are given, and how they shape behavior or even beliefs. People don’t just accumulate facts, knowledge and beliefs are complex, and subject to manipulation.
