We are each just one person. We can’t save the world, and it would be unreasonable to carry that burden.
But we each can save a small piece of it. A kind word here, a forgiving of slights there, and work in some patience & understanding for others.
Little things can make waves. And if Six Degrees of Separation remains true, your little deeds affect more people than you realize.
With bird flu on our doorstep, and an administration that mishandled covid about to take power, it’s going to get really bad in the US.
Get your N95 masks and other relevant protections now while supplies are plentiful.
…but won’t act
That’s pretty much the summary of thr Democrat party. Sometimes they’ll come down from their geriatric ivory tower and recognize a real problem, yet fail to act.
I can genuinely tell you I’d have no idea how to handle this
Yeah that’s pretty much the story of my life. Everyone from insurance, to employers, to the military, to legal paperwork, to traveling, and everything else. I was even excommunicated from my church when I was 12 for the “crime” of being intersex.
Not only do I have this issue, my little brother and my uncle on my mom’s side does too.
Further proof that big businesses and social media companies are NOT your friend.
Pretty sure China isn’t the right place to go.
Yup, I got perma-banned for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza. The admin called me a “hateful Nazi fascist.”
I’m to the left of Bernie and I don’t support ethnic cleansing. Reddit is just falling in line with the AIPAC propaganda as they’re a powerful foreign lobbyist group in the US.
Do I need UV glasses?
No. Gloves are a good idea, probably a respiratory too and open air circulation like opening a few windows. But a face shield and UV glasses are overkill.
Just… don’t be sloppy and careless.
ordered soy based resin and a wash/cure station
I didn’t know “soy based resin” was a thing. The wash/cure station is definitely a winner. Highly recommended.
installed and found chitubox slicer isn’t great
Never used it before. I’m stuck using Anycubic’s proprietary slicing software which is ok’ish. It gets the job done and prints ok.
don’t understand plug drilling and hollowing
Yeah so this is a unique thing for resin printers to deal with, especially with larger prints. It is entirely possible to print an object and have liquid resin sealed up inside a hollow print. Curing can’t penetrative deep enough to cure the trapped resin inside. It becomes a “time bomb” for eventual breaks and leakage.
Some slicing software recognizes this issue and allows you to place a hole somewhere on the print to allow trapped resin to drain out.
But since you’re printing minis, it’s not really something you have to be concerned about. Minis are…well… mini and thus not hollow.
A bit of advice for a new resin user: No matter how well prepared you think you are to contain messes, spills, droplets, etc, you will make a mess. It’s inevitable so plan accordingly and keep tons of paper towers at the ready.
As to painting, I’m not quite there yet. I just print them, cure them, and play with them as is.
Trump’s fascist goons don’t understand, nor care about, public health.
Trump’s fascist goons want to tear down the US government and every single agency.
There’s no government agency left to keep an eye out, and prevent the spread of, dangerous diseases.
A dangerous disease begins to spread like wildfire.
Trump’s fascist goons: “It’s a conspiracy by democrats, communists, Marxists, Chinese, whatever to hurt America!”
Right wing democrats are the worst.
Online news channels like TYT get way more viewership than CNN or CNBC. Hell, even smaller YouTube channels have better viewership.
People are sick of the corporate bootlicking crap. There’s major right wing channels funded by billionaires, there’s corporate channels that are dying off, and there’s left wing channels funded by viewer small dollar donations.
I’m intersex and have both male and female anatomy. US healthcare “insurance” isn’t coded for people like me. It assumes a sex binary when the facts of reality show otherwise.
Back at my old job, I had full premium health insurance. However, they kept denying each and every claim, denying literally everything. They unofficially recognized my intersex condition and used it against me.
Whenever I filed a claim as female, they’d deny it and claim I was male and thus the claim was incorrectly filled out. When I filed as male, they’d pull the exact same stunt now claiming I’m female and thus the claim was incorrectly filled out. Whatever the claim, large or small, it was always the wrong sex on the paperwork.
It was a "heads I win, tails you lose" situation. I have a better job with the government and with a different insurance company, but they too are starting to pull the same stunt. I hate this country for allowing such corruption to thrive.
In the wake of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder last week and grassroots outrage at the healthcare industry, the company is undertaking an empathy offensive.
What the shit!? An empathy offensive? This is dystopian double speak.
Right now the US is basically a two-party system with both parties bribbed by the same health insurance companies. The will of the people demands change, yet both parties refuse to implement change.
Withholding your vote does nothing as it’s essentially a two-party system. Voting for one party or the other does nothing as they’re both paid off by the same health insurance companies.
In desperate times when the government no longer represents the people, people turn to vigilantism to solve ongoing problems, as we saw with the killing of the CEO.
It’s going to get a lot worse, there WILL be more killings.
I got perma-banned for condemning Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Several mods accused me of being an alt-right neo Nazi MAGA cultist. 🙄
Bro, genocide is bad no matter who is doing it.
Is this game… fun? Everything I’ve seen and heard about it doesn’t seem fun at all.
I don’t believe there is such a thing as pure of heart. Naivety and ignorance sure, but no such thing as pure of heart.
And it is about religion as my religion rejects the Christian moral concept of purity.
Weird how nobody is teaching the dangers of capitalism.
Food for thought;
If you’re critically ill and need healthcare, yet your health insurance denies it, know that prisons are obligated to provide said healthcare.
It’s a choice between going to prison and living, or staying out of prison and dying.
Thus, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by paying a visit to one of these CEOs, then turning yourself in afterwards.
As a welder and mechanic, it’s good that you’re staying away from Teslas. Those things are poorly built and poorly fit together. I’ve seen cheap Temu toy cars with better fitting then Teslas.
