I’ve been a chemical engineer for 13 years, it was a joke about it being safe. One of my first jobs was with hydrofluoric acid 😂

Lmao where can I get one of those chemical engineering jobs? Please

Damn, I am manifesting this energy for myself in 2026

There is nothing more canadian than being smug about not being american.

Help me understand.

What is not toxic to you:

• A person has a disability which makes task x difficult to perform.
• Everyone agrees that this person has this disability and that this disability makes it hard to perform task x
• If they try to perform task x they may not understand they are doing it incorrectly, again because of the disability that everyone agrees is real and this person has.
• no one is expected to create an environment where task x is made easier
• when this person fails at task x, it is treated as a moral failing
• inability to perform task x puts access to fundamental needs at risk

What is toxic:

• being told that you do not understand the experience that someone is trying to express

Is this accurate?

I feel this in my chest lol

Lol sob 😭

“You need to learn to say no, because you are working well beyond your capacity and you need to take care of yourself”

Literally every time I say no it’s seen as the beginning of a negotiation. I’m not being vague either. “Here is some data. I don’t have time to review it with you today. Have a look and we’ll discuss next week.” Somehow that is interpreted as “Waltz into my office right now and ask about the data”

Or “I am not looking after that, go speak to (other engineer)” becomes 'Potato is handling it"

And like, these people are peers at best. They aren’t trying to politely tell me I’m not doing my job or something.

The absolute worst is “I’m going to need to sit with the info you gave me before I can respond” becomes them just repeating themselves or trying to tell me what my response might be. Or when I say “I actually can’t remember, but I can look it up” becomes them guessing. Not only have they completely ignored what I said to them, I’m now 100% checked out and every last drop of executive function is gone.

…doing rocket science for the nazis.

He wrote of Hitler:

Yet, he also wrote that “to us, Hitler was still only a pompous fool with a Charlie Chaplin moustache”[31] and that he perceived him as “another Napoleon” who was “wholly without scruples, a godless man who thought himself the only god”.[32]

And

Later, von Braun said: “I have very deep and sincere regret for the victims of the V-2 rockets, but there were victims on both sides…A war is a war, and when my country is at war, my duty is to help win that war.”[1]: 351

Further, he knew how to flee when his life was under threat:

Nearing the end of the war, Hitler instructed SS troops to gas all technical men concerned with rocket development.[70] Upon hearing this, von Braun commandeered a train and fled with other “technical men” to a location in the mountains of South Germany. After some time, von Braun and many of the others who made it to the mountains left their location to flee to advancing American lines in Austria.[33]

Von Braun and several members of the engineering team, including Dornberger, made it to Austria.[74] On 2 May 1945, upon finding an American private from the U.S. 44th Infantry Division, von Braun’s brother and fellow rocket engineer, Magnus, approached the soldier on a bicycle, calling out in broken English: “My name is Magnus von Braun. My brother invented the V-2. We want to surrender.”[17][75]

Yeah fuck this guy and fuck everyone working on weapons to this day.

I’m an engineer. I solve problems. But I don’t solve problems that involve killing people and ignoring my fucked up government.

Yeah some band called Joy Division covered it? They must be popular with the kids I see their t shirts all over the place

But best of all the Chinese people themselves. Look at them there, aren’t they great? The Chinese; a great bunch of lads.

I’m going to tidy some shelves so that I can get some seeds started!

Is that how the supply chain works that we have a weeks worth of oil at any time? Or did they raise the price sooner.

10-14 days lag

Future so green I need a vape

I am worried that I need to explain that the comment was directed towards the prison industrial complex not the people fuckin in the porta potty

What an absolute garbage can of a country

I didn’t put any numbers in my reply

I get that it’s a meme but 85% is delusional. If you think under socialism we could work 15% as much as we do now and maintain the same standard of living then lol, lmao, etc.

*online leftists coping and seething after food and housing don’t just magically spring forth from the earth when you abolish rent-seeking

If you have a Real Job where you interact with the material world it is impossible to believe that 85% of the things you physically make or do are consumed by capitalists.

Well yeah, I do actually believe we will work significantly less because many jobs are bullshit, useless and only serve capital. That, and all the over production that ends up in landfills and the ocean because the line must go up.

(Btw I spent yesterday testing sewage samples and I’d do it for free if I didn’t need money to survive so miss me with any ‘how would we convince people to do gross work’ bullshit)

Would anyone call Stallman quiet?
