It is incredibly important to train yourself to have your first instinct be to look something up.
Don’t know how to do something? Look it up.
See a piece of news mentioned on social media? Look it up.
Not sure if something is making it to the broader public consciousness, either because you don’t see it much or you see people saying nobody is talking about it? Look it up.
Don’t know what a word means? Look it up.
It will make you a better reader and a better writer, but it will also just make you more equipped to cope with the world.
So often, I see people talking about something as though it is the first time anyone has ever acknowledged it, when I’ve been reading reports about it on the news for months or years. Or I see someone totally misinterpreting an argument because they clearly don’t know what a word means–or, on the other hand, making an argument that doesn’t make sense because they aren’t using words the right way.
Look things up! Check the news (the real news, not random people on social media)! Do your research! You (and the world) will be better for it.
btw this isn’t like a change.org or other third party petition, this is a petition that goes straight to the canadian government. there is an actual shot at revoking musk’s citizenship here.
to be clear, this also means that it can be signed by canadian citizens and residents only otherwise it would be invalidated
There is absolutely no chance of revoking his citizenship, because there’s no part of Canadian law - THANK FUCKING GOD - that allows the revocation of Canadian citizenship status.
“Before they could move to do this, they would need to introduce legislation, there would have to be amendments to the current Citizenship Act,” said Ramo, former chair of the Canadian Bar Association’s immigration section. “There’s no provision that would allow them to pursue revocation of citizenship of a Canadian birth, by virtue of his birth to a Canadian mother.”
And there absolutely should not be. EVER.
I cannot stress how fucking bad it would be if it were possible to pull Canadian citizenship based on even a fully convicted major crime, let alone the public perception of wrongdoing against the country. What a dangerous, horrible weapon that would be, and what a dangerous exploitable precedent it would set.
This is not an honorary degree or other meaningless thing, and especially within our system of law and precedent this is NOT a symbolic act that could be safely limited to him.
I’m actually embarrassed that the one NDP MP is apparently ignorant enough to not realize that.
Ugh. Not knowing anything about his background past ‘South African’, I assumed that any Canadian citizenship had been bought in much the same way as the New Zealand one, and as such may have some legitimate way of taking it away again.
Unfortunately, as a resident of a country which decided some 20 years ago that it was ok to remove the citizenship of dual nationals in some circumstances (initially only “if the Secretary of State was satisfied they were responsible for acts seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the United Kingdom or an Overseas Territory”, later expanded to include fraud or deception in acquiring the citizenship and changing the first part to the Secretary of State believing that “deprivation is conducive to the public good”), yeah no you don’t want to get into taking away birthright citizenship. Sorry.
Under those initial rules it was very clear that British citizenship could not be taken away if it would make a person stateless. And then in 2014 the government of the day made another fun paragraph in another law which decided that it was ok take away any kind of British citizenship and send a person into some kind of medieval stateless exile if the Secretary of State had 'reasonable grounds’ to believe that they would theoretically be eligible to get citizenship anywhere else instead, e.g. if one of their parents was born overseas. And if I don’t think that’s ok for Shamima Begum, unfortunately I don’t think it’s ok for That Guy either.
(for clarity: I believe that if Shamima Begum has committed crimes for which she could be convicted in a UK court, she should be returned and tried. If there’s evidence that could be used against her in some other jurisdiction, sure, go for it. Making her into a legal Someone Else’s Problem when she was born in London and has no other citizenship is wrong in every possible way.)
Real question are there people out there who dont know how to properly use a firearm I am asking this unironically its very intuitive to me but that may just be because I was raised in appalachia do you guys not know how to reload aim and shoot properly
im aware through cultural osmosis about the basic ruls of gun safety, trigger discipline, point at the ground, etc, the specific mechanisms of it i have an incredible vague idea of but i would probably make an ass of my self if i was handed a gun
(sorry for adding a poll to your post but I think this could use a poll)
I feel like this poll is missing the option that will most accurately describe the experience of the vast majority of non-americans, namely “due to guns being illegal in my country, the only time I have ever seen one is in the hands of an armed police officer or in media but I am frankly overly familiar with gun safety measures through cultural osmosis from Americans who won’t shut up about them”
Are guns actually illegal in your country, or do they just require a licence and a lot more rules than in certain other places? Because I’m British and I’ve fired (small, .22) rifles; my sister fired a shotgun once but it made her cry so I didn’t try. I fired an air rifle at Guide/Scout camp (but that was before Dunblane, so, uh, the rules were a teensy bit different in those days I imagine). Never seen a real handgun though. I am not a good shot. My sister is.
I have a reasonable awareness of firearm safety from being around them, could reload a bolt-action rifle and whatever you call a very basic shotgun, once had to call the police to come and dispose of a shoebox of miscellaneous very old ammunition I found in a barn. This is very much not a typical level of firearms familiarity for a British person.
Only time I’ve actually been a bit nervous about guns was seeing the ‘gun-free zone’ signs on primary schools in Central America.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.
Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.
These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you’ll have to start all over.
Hey, I know another type of stretch for this!
I had to go to occupational therapy a while back due to pain in my ulnar nerve (same nerve that acts as your ‘funny bone’). It was getting compressed from jamming my elbow against hard plastic armrests that were in a too-tall fixed position on my cheap old office chair. I was having burning and tingling pain and numbness radiating from my elbow into my ring and pinky fingers. It sucked. Honestly, I found it worse than carpal tunnel, because a rigid elbow brace makes life way harder than a rigid wrist brace.
Anyways, the main exercise that my occupational therapist had me do was called a nerve glide. The stretches OP describes help improve flexibility, but the nerve gliding exercise helps move the nerve out of the pinched spot so it can move more freely.
Here’s the best diagram I can find of it:
It’s a little confusing, so have some extra description on the weird parts:
Step 3: thumb side moves down and towards the front.
Step 4: hand rotates out and around, pinky side first.
Step 5: nothing fancy here, just straighten your elbow.
Step 6 (not on diagram, but recommended by therapist): with arm in the same position, tilt your head towards the opposite side for a few second (works as a stretch).
Ulnar nerve compression (aka cubital tunnel) is apparently super common, but I had never heard of it before I started having issues. If you lean forwards on your desk or armrests a lot, I’d suggest giving these a try. It feels kind of weird because you can feel the nerve, but it shouldn’t hurt at all.
today was the day we finalized the migration of essential software at work from some old and busted shit that was ready to die at any time, to the new cloud version of the same software that we are no longer responsible for maintaining. which is good because no one was actually maintaining ours. it’s just been slowly crufting into unusability for a decade. so anyway they set aside an hour for a teams meeting where they’d walk us through the different interface and how to go through normal processes.
“it’s not that big a change,” they said. “it’s all the same stuff, it just looks a little different,” they said.
they did not account for the fact that the primary user of this software is someone who doesn’t actually know how it works or what it’s doing. they learned how to do their job entirely through rote memorization. they know which buttons they are supposed to press in which order, and that is the full extent of what they know. they also did not account for the fact that this person’s processes were learned thirdhand from other people who were not using this software normally to begin with.
it’s like. imagine if someone had only ever used tumblr in the app. and you try to get them to use it in a desktop browser, but they cannot figure out how to post. and you go through explaining where the button is and how to format text and add tags, even though you could have sworn it was all the same in the app. but then they’re like, “okay, but what’s the phone number” and you’re like “what” and they’re like “the phone number to call to make a post?” and it turns out somehow they still had the ability to post by calling a phone number, and every time they posted on the app they called the post in first and then edited the audio post to transcribe it into text before screenshotting the text for a photo post. and nothing you can say to them will make them understand that none of that is necessary or correct. they shouldn’t have even been able to do some of that. they can just type into the post box now, like a civilized person. “okay,” they say, “but what is the phone number, though? because when i made my account my friend gave me this checklist and the first thing on it is to call the number.”
so anyway we were on that teams call for almost three hours and they still don’t have a handle on the new software
details have been changed but i want you to imagine that this software is used in part to record payments and send out updated invoices. in this software there is a special process to send invoices to collections. generally, you use special filters to determine what does and does not get sent off to collections. but this person kept asking that poor trainer to run the collections wizard on all invoices. every one of them. unpaid. paid. brand new. all of them. and the trainer is like. i am not doing that actually. and the person keeps insisting. “i need the report” they keep saying. “this isn’t a report” the trainer keeps explaining.
as far as anyone can tell, decades ago, the person who first worked with this software added a custom report that prints before you can run the collections wizard. they would go through that report manually highlighting every invoice going to collections, with a highlighter, because they didn’t trust the software. because this was old software without any kind of autosave functionality, they could just abort the collections wizard after they got the report, before doing it again and manually flagging the invoices they highlighted. everyone using this software since then has just. done that. assuming it was necessary for some reason.
“please,” the trainer kept saying. “can you tell me what the report is called. what is the report. can you scan the report and send it to me. we can just run the report. we don’t need to run the collections wizard. we actually specifically should not. there is no report here. we would need to add that in if you want that. but you won’t need to run this wizard to get that report. you can just get it. the report. without doing this.”
“it’s fine,” they kept saying. “i can show you the report. just hit okay on the wizard and it should pop up.”
Having had actual significant success with these people:
learn to identify them immediately: if someone starts asking you about “the collections wizard”, and it makes no sense, stop, stop trying to explain it to them with shortcuts, and ask them to take you through their old process. This will ascertain for certain that you are dealing with This Person.
once you have identified them - and this is very important - accept that they did things by rote, and that ergo any change to that rote process is not, actually, “just a little bit different”. It is a whole new process.
No seriously just fucking accept it. Accept it immediately. You are now working with someone who has never used the kind of software or process or thing you are trying to teach them before. They have arrived before you a blank slate. You are starting from the beginning.
if for some reason you are too rigid to do this, or do not have enough time, or just want to commit murder, this is the point where you run the opposite direction or hire someone else. but tell the someone-else this much.
if you’re not too rigid or overloaded: now you need to make them understand that this new process is Totally Different.
Explain to them: forget about the old way. I’m so sorry - this is a total new way. I know. I know it’s awful. It’s Head Office’s Fault. It’s just how it is. I know they told you it would just be a little change. They lied. You can’t do anything the old way anymore.
I don’t care if this isn’t really true. It doesn’t matter if it’s really true. It’s true for them, because they knew this new way by-rote, not by-understanding-the-underlying-principles. They now have to learn a new rote.
(please note: if you are still going ‘but it’s just a little bit different - !’ YOU are now, in fact, this person. Your by-rote is insisting that learning works the way it worked for you, and that using a system requires the way that you interact with the system. It doesn’t! Remember that you also have to be flexible, as you demand someone change their system (that used to work fine for them) For You.)
Stop trying to short-cut this step. Short-cutting this step will just make you both cry. Just accept you have to do this the long way. It’s good for you. It’ll build character.
You will indeed get more pushback/upset at the beginning if you admit that you’re needing them to learn something Entirely New. But it will be less than the rage/frustration/betrayal/resentment you get when you told them it was just a little change, and they end up having to re-learn everything they ever knew about doing their job, AND now they feel like either you lied to them or you’re condescending to/judging them, and they hate you.
Yeah that’s totally a lot of work, isn’t it. But you gotta do it! (You do GOTTA do it, right? You didn’t just decide to change things Because It’s Neater This Way or for another reason that prioritized your sense of what’s Correct over that of those actually doing the job, right - it was for a reason?) (Oh good, glad to hear it, so I reiterate: yeah, it’s a lot of work but you gotta do it.)
Plan for this to take a realistic amount of time, which is about three times as long as the amount of time you wanted to tell the person you report to it should take, which is still going to be less time than it’ll take if you DON’T just fucking plan for the fact that you’ll need to retrain people from the ground up and then end up with three hours of a teams meeting and people crying because nobody understands at the end of it.
Finally: if you hire someone else to do it, do make sure THEY understand all of the above as well, and aren’t going to be a dick to your staff about it.
You’re welcome!
Yes this. All of this.
ESPECIALLY “write them an equally exhaustive New Way” (from tags shared by kawuli above).
My job is … fine. But sometimes I have to cover for someone else, and I am not fully trained in their job. So there is a Head Office Official laminated list of procedures on the wall for anyone who doesn’t do the thing very often. And. And this list does not include all the tasks we process. Which is not a fun thing to find out in a time-pressured situation when you think you are wasting valuable time because you clearly missed the thing the first time you read the list. No. No you didn’t. Because the list is not exhaustive.
I am a moderately well-educated person who is happy to learn about new systems and would be absolutely fine to write that list of procedures myself! In previous roles I HAVE WRITTEN detailed procedures for tasks that were causing confusion! But in this case I can’t because a) then it wouldn’t be the Head Office Official list, and b) lolnope the artificial management-imposed time pressure is such that we don’t even have enough time allocated to do the actually everyday necessary things, let alone mess around with making anything work better.
I was like IT HAS TO BE FAKE because the internet is a nightmare lately. There’s golden beetles and other incredible bugs, but this video had me doubting for some reason. BUT IT’S REAL!
Green ant-hunter jumping spider or Cosmophasis bitaeniata.
I love being reminded that the world is full of cool big and little wonders.
Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I’ve been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.
Nah Morgan wouldn’t let him. And they both love eating, you don’t fuck up a place where there’s good food. And if it’s a DATE date Leshy would behave because that’s one of the rare reasons he would. Sucker. The table would end up with some wear and tear tho
Down the furry rabbit hole we go. Here’s ultra twinky ass lamb.
I think when I draw Saleos and Irene I’ll tag Poly AU because technically I guess it’s one? It’s really just my game characters that i thought would be fun as comic characters. A three person polycule trying to trap a tsundere god with them.
APPARENTLY when you choose to kill Narinder, the Mystic seller chucks him at you anyway first time you meet it? This is HILARIOUS. Please take your cat back he’s scratching my furniture. I memed
I fell into a new ship because of funny art again. I see fanartists making funny shit with a sunshine and a tsundere and I’m in.
I’m weak.
I ended up playing Cult of the Lamb because I was told the game is more management than rogue lite, and not too hard for me, and I did have a blast!
The main source of brainrot I love is from @bamsara, art and fic, perfect amount of legit well written characters, angsty conflicts and hilarious shit. We love a critical gay crisis from a tsundere. ALSO I’m so into the whole nightmares/sleepovers/connected dreams shit, I stick that onto my characters already, it was so nice to find those tropes somewhere else!
But I really like the funny vibe the devs put into the official art, so as far as i’m concerned, Narinder chills the fuck out immediately after being given fish. The way to someone’s heart is their stomach.
The cat is named Morgan and he was acting overly nice because he has problems™. He’s feeling better now that he has someone to fight with and let out steam, and embrace the chaotic little fuck he actually is. The other followers just get used to it since the Lamb doesn’t seem to mind. He’s happy that Leshy is not throwing hands with Narinder anymore, because those fights were actually nasty.
Sometimes I wonder what I would think of the characters if I played the game before getting sucked into the fandom. I think I would have bullied Narinder 100x more. I think I would have liked Leshy anyway, his design is fun. But I wouldn’t draw him like that, fandom has definitely influenced me.
Their actual size and shape if I wasn’t drawing them as stickmen, cause it’s faster and easier for comics and I don’t like suffering. The whole reason I’m drawing so much for this fandom is that silly sketchy chibi furries are easy for me. Morgan is a short king. He’s even shorter than my OC Luke everyone makes fun of.
I have fully rendered versions of those that I’ve been working on and off for two weeks, but I haven’t finished the clothes and shit… Cause I drew them tits out as I always do. My default “draw a character” is underwear, then add clothes- which makes sense for a full character sheet with details but jfc it takes time for nothing. Well not for nothing, let’s be honest I like drawing titties…

Morgan is the cult’s head tailor. He’s the one who made the maid dress, that he lost in a bet to Leshy like a dumbass. He’s genuinely sweet and kind, and never gets angry or have a hurtful word. He’s sent to touch grass and garden when he works in the workshop for too long without stopping. And he has to let out steam by asking to be sent on missions sometimes, and rampaging a bit, as a treat. Like the good old times. That’s until he understands the new weird guy he’s been trying to treat kindly, despite his resemblance to his former god, is actually 100% his fucking former god. So he tells him “You understand I have to beat the shit out of you now.” and proceeds to beat the shit out of him. Leshy might be a powerhouse, but Morgan’s used to stomp worms in Darkwood so it’s pretty balanced. They both get punished for fucking up the farm grounds and breaking the barn’s window. The fight gets murder out of his system somehow, and Leshy and him casually throwing hands becomes a routine everyone’s used to. The Lamb is especially grateful that Leshy has a pass-time that is not trying to eat Narinder’s face. Narinder won’t admit he’s lowkey offended that his brother forgot their feud that easily.
