But isn't the point of crash bar locks that just the act of being crushed against the door will force it open? The only thing you have to do to open it is push on it or be pushed into it. Of course that won't help you when you fall as the door swings open and get trampled, but it's better than everyone burning to death.

One of those nail polish organizers but for mini paints instead. A pandaria poster and Hades poster I haven't hung in the two years I've been here.

Practical Engineering is such a good channel. I feel like Grady strikes a really good balance of high enough production value that it doesn't get in the way of paying attention, while still being extremely educational.

Looks like your spoilers aren't working - spoilers on lemmy are three : on either side of the spoiler.

I agree with your point, especially "Educated feminists know that poor mental health for men only hurt their situation," but it's really frustrating to be told "This isn't real feminism" when the harm misandrists do is very real. It feels like there's a double standard - when men talk about the problems misguided or undereducated feminists cause, they're told to be specific in their language and not to generalize. In the same breath, people who at minimum appropriate the feminist banner do a lot of generalization about men. You see it all over this site and in pop feminist circles, and being told "Well you can't criticize feminism just because some people do it badly" leads to a lot of resentment.

It also doesn't feel fair to say "Well they were being vague". A lot of the harm perpetuated by patriarchy, misandry and other elements in society is amorphous. A lot of people don't have an acute moment of pain - they internalize things over time, or have lots of small incidents. Getting hurt and being told to man up, being told that men don't belong in queer spaces, or that all men are pigs.

The article: Rural people aren't just racist, homophobic assholes - they're struggling with apocalyptic economic destruction, constant discrimination and hatred, and have fallen through the cracks of society while society stomps on their face.

The comments: RURAL PEOPLE ARE BAD, FUCK RURALS

I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them read the article...

I will say, though, that as much as rural people get fucked out of their votes in most situations, they are vastly over-represented in others. For example, each vote in the electoral college for California represents 703,000 people. In Montana, on the other hand, each electoral vote represents closer to 250,000 people. There's a strong sense among city dwellers that the rural folk are dragging the entire country into hell just because they're suffering under capitalism - and they aren't wrong, in some sense. America's inconsistent, patchwork electoral system definitely contributes greatly to the urban / rural conflict.

What is this?

Brain's face says it all. "I fucked it up so I guess I'll never do any of this again."

Five cases total in nine years, the fatal case was someone who literally was immunocompromised from cancer. I think we're fine.

She called the police at the 24th Precinct and said she thought an owl might need help.

“Is that that famous big owl that’s flying around?” an officer said.

Two officers arrived a short time later and shooed the owl away by shining a flashlight in its eyes, Ms. Aaron said.

Sounds about right...

Duh. But tell me again about how it was totally about PlAgIaRiSM

How are you not dead by hour 9?

Bathroom vent out the side of the house?

So I'm planning out a bathroom remodel and part of that is replacing the vent fan because currently mine is just venting into my attic (no bueno). I know normally bathrooms are vented out through the roof but my bathroom is on an exterior wall so I was wondering if I could just vent it out the side of the house. I'm going to be...

Adramis ,

I don't know if it can work, but I know if you run it out too close to the roof-line it'll just go in the soffit and mold up your attic anyway.

Could it be...greed?

Adramis ,

I could be wrong, but I think the point that @weeeeum was making is that by the point you retire, your body and mind are so wrecked from having been overworked for 30+ years that 'just go outside' is an agonizing prospect. Yeah, if you make it to that point and can still go outside and do fun stuff then great. But if you retire at 65, are male, and American, then you're retiring at the average healthy life expectancy for your group and on average have about a decade of declining health to 'look forward to'.

TBF the overlap between Republicans, rural residents, and singles is pretty significant.

Four more years of unchecked misogyny. In a second Trump term, women would once again be targets ( www.theatlantic.com )

Strange as this might be to say of the only American president found legally liable for sexual abuse, the only leader of the free world accused of dangling a TV gig in front of a porn performer seemingly as an enticement for sex, the only commander in chief to publicly denigrate the sexual attractiveness of both Heidi Klum...

"Pick me" and "But they won't eat my face" at it's finest.
