Sadly this doesn’t hold true for red states. I’ve seen multiple people putting their children at risk by ferrying them around in a vehicle that makes the Ford Pinto look safe.

Particularly in countries that allow employers to force arbitration clauses on employees. You don’t get a jury, you get an “impartial” arbitrator paid for by the company.

The term being a creation of white people is a common but mistaken belief. Latinx is a gender neutral version of Latino/Latina created by English-speaking queer Latinx people in the early 2000s who hated that the inherent gender binary in the Spanish language couldn’t properly represent Latinx people who didn’t identify as Latinos or Latinas. It’s since become an inclusive catch-all term for the entire community, regardless of gender identity.

Also, I don’t know if you’re intending it to come off that way, but your reaction to the term is a very common one among homophobic Latinos.

They also work great for getting PETG prints to release from PEI build plates. Flip the can upside down, spray at the back of the sheet where the print is until it forms a thin layer of frost. Wait until the frost disappears (really you’re waiting for the metal to contract, but you won’t see that), bend the plate, and the part should pop right off.

…then flee to somewhere better ventilated to escape the cloud of bitterant before you vomit.

You shouldn’t wear Depends in the shower. They’re for getting back to that squishy feeling after the shower.

Cynical answer: They’re worried about the malpractice case if the woman miscarries because of something they did.

More realistic answer: I don’t think it’s so much trained to first think about the potential fetus, as much as if there’s no emergency and the only difference between potentially causing a miscarriage / deformity and not doing so is a few questions, why not ask them? If she was on a gurney being rushed into the ER it would be one thing, but if she’s ambulatory and has the time for the subsequent urine test, better safe than sorry?

Most realistic answer: It’s a funny comic about the level of dismissal many women feel when dealing with doctors. Laugh bitterly, share with a friend, and try not to worry about what assholes on the Internet think.

Very good point!

Square foot isn’t a great estimate for toilet paper, because within certain limits no one cares about the width of their TP. This means manufacturers will enshittify their products by making the rolls slightly wider (but fewer sheets). The packaging makes it seem like they’re selling the same amount, but you suddenly find yourself needing to buy more.

Why pay $200/mo for cell service when companies like Mint and Cricket exist? You could be paying under $200/yr for that alone.

And by RNG, we mean ol’ Larry. Don’t worry citizen, it’s purely coincidence that all of the winners are friends of his, and 90% of the laborers have brown skin.

Hospitals would often have two prices - the insurance price, and the cash price. If you told them that you didn’t have insurance, the price could go down drastically from the estimate. Now they’re required to charge the insurance company and the uninsured the same amount.
