This is such a fucking cheeky pun I cannot even be mad at it.

Nap

Disassociate to music.

Jork it.

George Boole introduced Boolean algebra, not Charles. Charles, according to this site on the Boole family, he had a career in management of a mining company.

the man you're thinking of is, I believe, George Boole, the inventor of Boolean algebra.

More a biology lesson. It's the scientific word for the appendage. Human's — I believe all mammals as well — have them lining our lower intestines. They help us absorb nutrients by increasing surface area.

The word itself, papillae, just means "a small, rounded part which protrudes from an organ/ nipple" from Latin.

Those "spines" are called papillae, for anyone wanting specifics.

Was able to do it for half a year. Then the contract ended and all they had was a job working 4 hours Sat/Sun.

Filed "constructive dismissal" & "loss of hours/pay" for unemployment and walked on em. Oh that was glorious telling that cunt of a supervisor to drive his own ass to my house to get the keys cause fuck wasting more of my gas to bring it to their office two cities away.

Climbed the fences at the state fair with some friends.

Found out I could GPS spoof my signal for my work app due to faulty security measures. I could sign into it, enable the spoof app, then "start" my round and repeat when I need to log that I "visited" a location. It was for a security guard gig at a shitty company. Exploitative practices and low pay, literally no days off, had to use my vehicle but no gas or maintenance reimbursement. So, I said fuck em. It was during COVID, the position had no oversight, and they had already fucked me twice over before. All the buildings were empty anyway. I just checked in on them when I felt and fibbed all the logs for what they actually wanted from me.

Bro was running on fumes 💨

I feel Duke, Torgue, and Sal would make for a dialogue that is as equally epic as it is brain rotting.

Italy is also home of the people who responded to that regime by dragging Mussolini and his wife's bodies after their assassination across the country back to Milan, where they were unceremoniously dumped in a town square to be humiliated and desecrated, then hung on girders above a service station in the square by their ankles until they fell and subsequently were buried in unmarked graves.

It is an incredibly niche part of the gender nonconformity movement in that some nonbinary individuals don't want to use the neutral "they", and instead want unique pronouns such as "xi/xir" or some such.

I personally don't agree with it. I'll just continue to use the singular "they", as it is gender neutral and works independently of where the individual being referred to sits on the gender spectrum, or use their name, as it is already the unique designation to refer to the specific individual.

People should learn that it's okay to differ from opinions

Up to a certain point, then you're crossing the paradox of tolerance. Where that point exactly lies is the issue, and unfortunately many people refuse to practice introspection of their own beliefs to find where that point actually is and will instead just try to force their biases of what is tolerable or not onto others.

You literally just explained why this is an unpopular opinion. It isn't that it is shocking, it is just disappointing that it is an intrinsic flaw of human cognition to be resistant to challenging our own preconceived beliefs and are prone to letting bias cloud our judgement.

Just in case, for the non-Americans from regions that do not have the specific brand, the sub name is in reference to prepackaged "Uncle Ben's Ready Rice" which is used in this specific mushroom growing tek.

Couldn't be more proud of every one of those workers. Take back what is yours, boys!

Fuck the Panama State for, as expected, employing authoritarian violence against workers standing up to oppression from a soulless corporate entity.

Goes to show who the state really cares about. It isn't the people.

No, it wouldn't be. There are strict limitations on the sale and use of cadavers. They can only be sold for the purpose of education or research. You'll never find a dead body being used for a YouTube video, at least not "legally". Don't be hyperbolic. Besides, if you know how bodies are used for science, even medical science, it is far from what most would call "respectful". You either are sent to a school so that students can get their hands all up in your guts for anatomical familiarization through dissection or to practice medical procedures on then summarily discarded (usually cremated and sent back to the family once its usefulness has run its course), dismembered to have its parts and organs sold individually to different research sites for the purpose of testing pharmaceuticals or be purposely infected with diseases to observe their effects on tissue then also summarily discarded as bio-waste, or used for forensic science as your corpse is allowed to rot in the sun for observation on a body farm.

You know how medical science tests the effects of smoking on the lungs? Other than simply looking at the lungs of those who smoked in life, they take healthy lungs and hook them up to a pump to force it to "smoke" and then observe how it affected the tissue.

Anyways, back to the overall point...

The term "respect" is highly arbitrary. People in the US respect a lot of things, just not the same things that you respect, nor will they respect them in the same manner if you do share a mutual respect of something. Is that problematic? It entirely depends on the specific subject matter and those involved. The topic of "what is respectful" is a lot more nuanced and intersectional to why certain things have been glorified or deemed worth respecting while others have been disregarded in certain cultures and regions. Even then, it always comes down to each individual and their personal interpretation of reasoning. Thus, again, making blanket, simplistic statements is naive and not useful for discussion.

This is why I focused my point on ownership instead of subjective aspects. The only person whose input on "respectful use" that ultimately matters is the person who has ownership over the object being used, which in this case is a cadaver.

Personally, I don't understand the notion of "respect the dead"; we're dead, our consent and opinion don't really matter anymore past the point of death. I especially don't understand it in regards to handling of cadavers; they are simply inanimate objects that need to be disposed of, as they will rot and be vectors for diseases if left unattended, nothing more. If people can find uses for them, all the better.
