stuff... you know?

They should all get MAGA pardons.

When I was in the hospital, they gave me a big bracelet that said ALLERGY, but like. I'm allergic to bees. Were they going to prescribe me bees in there.

So there's a medication called hyaluronidase. It's used to make other medications absorb better, because it makes the cell wall more permeable.

One common usage is to make local anesthetic more effective during surgery, for instance. It's used in a number of injected medications.

Bee stings contain an enzyme very similar to this medication, so sometimes, people with bee allergies have an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase.

This is called cross-reactivity, where your body mistakes something for the thing it's actually allergic to, and has an allergic reaction anyway. For instance, sometimes people with latex allergies also are allergic to bananas and other fruits. They don't actually contain latex, but there are some similar proteins.

Apparently, hyraluronidase used in humans is derived from one of four sources: sheep testicles, cow testicles, cow testicles again, and GMO hamster ovaries.

tl;dr: They won't inject you with bees, but they might inject you with purified cow testicle juice, and your body might say 'eh, cow balls are BASICALLY bees' and try to kill you anyway.

The world is full of such beauty and wonder. Thank you for that sentence.

@theshitpostcalligrapher how do you feel about

oh right this was the context post for this one

When you know you are doing something illegal, the punishment after the fact should be brutal.

DOGE should be an automatic prison sentence.

People who have never held office or taken an oath should not have unfettered power to terminate whatever they google.

Alexa: show me conditional outrage.

It's all a performance. MAGA hears the dog whistle, responds without question. #groomed

The sole purpose of DOGE is misinformation and disinformation.

Republicans are creating the worst timeline.

So much for the "government shouldn't pick winners and losers' conservative bullshit.

This is conservatism writ large: racist white men can do no wrong, honest black men can do no right.

Look at First Felon: he built his political career on birtherism. Always promising a smoking gun and delivering nothing.

question! if a workplace is violating labor laws (which they often are) is there anything that prevents an employee from:

i know retaliation is something many workers worry about, but bathrooms at least still don't have security cameras. so is this a practical and anonymous thing to do? and if so, why isn't it more common?

They can't have cameras inside the bathrooms, but they can have them pointing to the entrance of the bathrooms. They can figure out who put them up based on what time people went in and out. It would probably work the first couple of times, but retaliation would catch up pretty quick.

Tips if you do want to try something like this:

Don't create it/print it at work or use company paper/tape - there's a time to steal and there's a time to be sneaky. This is sneaky time.

Hide the paper & tape before you arrive (purse, pocket, etc)

Do it during busy bathroom times - start of the day / during breaks when lots of people are coming and going

Be quick and silent

Don't say anything to anyone about what you're up to

Print them as flyers then pay someone 50$ to flyer all the cars in the parking lot.

oooo or enlist a friend to do it as a favor. your brain is huge and globulous

MAGA/GOP patriarchal death spiral.

The stale misogyny and tired racism won't stop their lonely and loveless extinction.

Or a dwarve black smith in the past live

About to commit the purrrrfect murrrrrder

Without government subsidies, Tesla and SpaceX would not exist. Musk would be penniless.
