I think the funniest part of this is that, if you’d floated this idea at the time, at least some parents would have believed you.

abortion rights dont have jack shit to do with whether or not a fetus is a person. its a completely irrelevant debate.

you arent obligated to donate your blood- a thing that causes no harm to you. you dont have to donate a kidney, even if you could save someones life. at the end of the day, if a fetus is a person then it has no right to live inside the body of another person, and the state cant mandate that you give up your bodily resources to sustain another life.

If you are asked to donate a kidney to save someone’s life, you say no, and the person dies, no one calls that murder. In fact, they would be outraged if you were forced to donate that kidney against your will. That would be seen as a huge violation of your rights. Abortion is the exact same scenario.

played sims 4 for the first time and one of the married cis men had a desire to try for baby with his cis husband. i accidentally pinned it and could not unpin it. trying for baby is physically impossible. I tried to use cheats to give him a viable womb in create a sim but it wouldn’t let me do so retroactively. so I thought, maybe if they adopt the want for pregnancy will go away, and had them adopt a toddler daughter. but then the try for baby desire did not go away. since they now had an unwanted adopted child I tried to remove the toddler from the household, thinking this would send her back into the ether. it did not. instead she wanders the neighborhood like a feral cat. i thought the social worker would come and take her back so someone else could adopt her, but I guess there is no social worker in sims 4. so now the neighborhood is haunted by a smelly miserable baby that has no home but cannot die and everyone who sees her is uncomfortable. fucking omelas scenario.

no one is feeding her but every time she gets hungry she simply produces a carton of milk out of the ether and drinks it

we need a three day weekend i swear to god no experiments no testing no bullshit we gotta lop off a workday

I just spent 5-6 years working 4-10s and seriously, we need that 3rd fucking day. I’m back working 5 8’s and I hate it.

I don’t know how I managed before. That day of pure rest. The day of pure creative. The day to not have chores, errands, or obligations. Want to catch up on sleep? Go for it. Got a show you’ve wanted time to binge? Have at it. Games to play? Hike to take? Hobbies to work on?

I never realized what having that extra day did for my well being till it was gone. Yeah, I’m bad at time management, but even on my days off I just feel bad because I just need to rest but I feel guilty if I do. If I sleep too late I won’t have any time to do what I need or want. I feel like I’m fighting with myself between my needs and my needs- the need to rest, to catch up on sleep, to get energy, and the need to actually do things- laundry, dishes, cat, self-care.

Yeah, I’ve been pitching the idea at my new job since I got here- apparently I wasn’t the first to bring it up, but it’s getting from the ‘talking’ phase to the 'enacting change’ phase.

we need a four day workweek and we also need those four days to not add two extra hours to an already long standard shift. 8 hours is a third of a regular person’s waking day (i am ACUTELY aware of this as a narcoleptic whose reset time is twelve hours. a six hour shift is half of my waking day). Four day workweeks are great but taking the time off the fifth day and adding it on to the other four days is, I feel, nulling the point of a four day week. And yes I am also suggesting the pay increase per hour to compensate for 32 hours being the new full-time. At the very least.

We also literally have studies showing that longer shifts are not more productive, at all, because productivity drops sharply partway through. We’re not meant for long periods of dedicated work. We get the most done in like the first 2-3 hours of a shift. So it doesn’t make sense to lengthen them anyway, in most jobs - you won’t actually get more done.

32 hours should be the new full time.
