Cholera, mostly, but also violence. It says they were turned away from getting help because the locals feared contagion, so perhaps that’s some of the violence. They also made practically no money but had a generous whiskey allotment, which would likely contribute to violence. They were working on Duffy’s Cut for some time, and the mass grave has been described as a garbage dump for bodies, not like they were lined up and shot or something, not that it makes it any better. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/irelands-forgotten-sons-recovered-two-centuries-later-9194680/

This is a really good case for sabotaging the retrofit. Slow it wwwwaaaaaayyyyy doooowwwnnn, and do all the merely cosmetic tacky gilt stuff first. Once he retires, the protective shielding and communications and weaponry won’t be necessary anymore. And he won’t care, as long as it looks lavish enough.

Also I think we really need to start using “retires” rather than “leaves office.” Or “goes private” if it seems like he doesn’t want to feel old enough for retirement. We have to make it seem like something he’d want. If we really made it appealing he’d quit early, because he’s sure the fuck not doing this job for the sake of the nation.

“Because of capitalists’ colossal structural power, we’re required to stroke the egos and soothe the anxieties of tantrum throwing elites every time we want to improve society. If we want better education, healthcare, and childcare programs, or to fix our own crumbling infrastructure, or to make our own cities affordable to live in, we are structurally compelled to consider the interests and feelings of the ultrarich, to beg permission from the most wantonly unethical and pathologically narcissistic people on earth.”

It’s frankly ridiculous that despite having more wealth than they know what to do with, they’re still obsessed with the fear that someone else might get a little of it.

Agreed, it’s just a lot of paying attention to the instance names and scrolling past. Usually the post title is a clue as well, but occasionally something sounds like something else. I don’t want to block the whole term, because it might be a small part of some post I’d otherwise be interested in. In any case, I know better than to drop comments in a topic that’s outside my experience.

Jesus, guys, the rule is apparently just like the clitoris: FRONT AND CENTER BUT INVISIBLE!?!?

Thanks for the no harsh feelings. Blocking is fine. See you in the other instances! (Not a mod, just a woman who appreciates the instance)

Guess what? If you accidentally break the rules, the mods will helpfully remove the comment and send you a polite reminder! You won’t even lose karma over it because there is no karma! At worst you’ll experience something women often do in real life: having your voice dismissed.

How can the 50 percent of new users who should be women find a private-only forum? Feel free to block, no hard feelings.

How are new women to find it if it never appears in All? Feel free to block/remove it, just as you would any niches that don’t interest you and clog up your feed. Or just scroll past, like I do for Linux and gaming and moe.

That’s okay. I mean, if you want to open it up again and read it to get a perspective on how women speak when they’re in their own space, nobody minds. But if you don’t want it cropping up in your feed, that’s cool. Obviously the reason it shows up in All is so new women can find it. Being reminded not to comment is just that, a reminder of the rules, and not necessarily a criticism of the content. If women didn’t face so much denial of their voices it wouldn’t be necessary.

Im sure that’s just mechanical but it reads as something more painful and possibly deadly

I did this with my new daybed: tucked/taped the instructions, key and extra screwthingies under the mattress, so if it’s ever moved or sold they’ll be visible as soon as you take off the mattress to start.

Just consider the relative hardness of your flesh versus the pit. And the fact that while you intend to hit the pit straight on, imbedding the knife, if it slips sideways, by the time it hits your skin it’s going to be moving in a slicing motion, which obviously makes penetration of skin and tendons easier. What’s so difficult about laying it on the cutting board? You’re still allowed to hold the end of it for stability, just don’t put your palm behind it.

It doesn’t harm it at all. The knife sinking into the pit absorbs the shock, and besides you’re about to eat it. Most injuries aren’t caused by terrible aim, they’re because the pit is slippery and curved, so just a little wrong angle can send the blade sliding off and into the hand. Especially when people whack too hard, and/or started the tequila or cannabis before the guac. That’s why you make putting it down a habit, so your muscle memory will override your stupidity.

If you’re not going to eat the whole avocado, put it in the fridge with the pit still in it (and the open part covered) to keep it green.

“Dude, you could at least have wiped your ass first! Neiuuuggghhh!”

Reminder: put the avocado half DOWN on the table before whacking the pit with the knife. What’s the matter, no cutting board? Afraid you’ll accidentally whack the knife into the table? Let that sink in…
