Wait, beehaw is? I guess I’m only subbed to the news community there, which was the second-most active news community after .world.

Is that instance shady?

I’ll stop recommending ot if so. O.o

No, but I’ve definitely tried not being disabled.

It’s almost like you don’t just choose to be these things. Like, if I could be an able-bodied cishet christian man, I wouldn’t have these problems. My fault for not male-ing hard enough.

e: Wait, hold on….

Nope, still no penis. I’ll give it another go tomorrow.

liquefaction necrosis

bones collapsing

So, these are things that have actually happened, since we know that’s a thing. Good lord.

I’m not afraid of many things, but that sounds horrific. Have people lived through that? I kinda hope not.

These sorts of things are why regulations are written in blood, right?

Oh.i guess I wasn’t paying attention.

My instance has blocked all the shady shit, but apparently not as much as .world. And I don’t see shady shit, so ¯(ツ)_/¯

I'm actively working to keep their bones undissolved (not exaggerating)

😳

Uh… story time? Or not.

Wait, you can’t see that instance from .world?

That sounds crazy. I’m not sure how this all works, but that sounds like a reason to create an account on a different instance, because it sounds like .world is censoring your content.

I can see pretty much all instances (unless I block them myself).

Or am I misunderstanding?

(Yes, I get defederation, but that seems overly restrictive)

That’s great advice, thanks. Also, thank You for doing what’s a mostly thankless job that keeps people safe. You’re in an industry that’s mostly invisible but that’s vitally important, and you probably don’t hear that.

I appreciate what you do.

Right, and that’s my point. If OP shows more knowledge than the company (which seems likely if they’re acting this way) by citing OSHA codes, that might scare them into at least providing air conditioned break rooms, right?

I meant ‘fear of god’ in the colloquial sense, not literally. Like, many grossly noncompliant companies at least begin to try when they realise, oh shit, people working here actually might know their rights and might sue us if shit goes arseways, right?

!news@beehaw.org has lots of subscribers.

(e: ~23k)

Also replies agreeing with Thomas Jefferson quotes, followed by LoTR references.

e: this just reminds me why I unsubbed from all .world communities and subbed to any alternatives, even if they’re smaller. I was here from /All so I didn’t notice the instance. Now I’m not surprised I was removed.

My comment was oblique; I agreed with an historical quote then made a LOTR reference. No overt calls for violence. Still removed.

e: Please check my moderation history to see what I said. I was the 3rd comment in that thread.

As a disabled and queer woman, 3 categories that are now under attack, this makes me very angry. I’ll just say [removed].

Yes, but mightn’t this OSHA info be useful to put the fear of god into them? Based on what I’ve read in OP’s post and comments, it doesn’t sound like the employer is taking any kind of precautions (break room with AC, etc).

There’s no legal case here, but if people are unreasonably uncomfortable, it seems bringing up the OSHA regs (specifically, not generally) could at least get them to improve conditions a bit.

My ex and my son both work in a state and industry where OSHA is a guideline and not a rule (different companies), but if you bring up a possible OSHA violation in a health and safety meeting, it’s taken seriously. Not because they’re worried about citations, but because often that can be grounds for a civil lawsuit if something does happen (it’s a basis for ‘they should have known’), and they will try to meet those standards to cover their ass, right?

I’m talking about residential and commercial property management, not manufacturing, though, so it may be different.

e: I am not arguing with you; I defer to your expertise. I’m just curious and annoyed on OP’s behalf. If this were my son’s workplace, I’d be angry.

Thanks for that link. Will doomwatch tonight.

e: for those like me who can’t afford streaming services, it’s on YouTube.

e2: I’ve only watched part of this, but it’s showing how intelligent and seemingly rational people believe this shit. ‘Normal’ people are in this cult.

Despicable.

Nah, he’s just a liar. He said that at a press conference where literally everything in his view was either a person, man, woman, camera, or tv (well, plus the podium, but that’s a big boy word).

Cunningham’s Law:

The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

On the other hand, he’s well known for eating things he wants to hide. He eats notes after meetings.

I would be surprised if he hasn’t had someone redesign the US flag for him, based on his ‘vision’. So eating the flag to hide it is totally on brand.
