Yikes. OP is fortunate enough not to live in the USA.

Jesus. Does he work by candlelight too?

Right, but the practicality? It would still be hard and expensive to catch every outlier case such as this one with drug testing.

[edit] I’ve looked it up and in the Netherlands, drug testing is only legal for some very specific professions where there is a risk of serious, large-scale harm such aa for instance pilots, like you mentioned. Other than that, it’s illegal because it’s medical information, and considered too invasive.

What are you suggesting? That they should run a urine test for magic mushrooms on every pilot before every flight? Obviously this was a very bad situation. But what scenario would have prevented this?

What’s RSD?

I don’t know, I guess so? Most drug tests are severely flawed, because many don’t test if someone is under the influence right now, they can test positive even when it’s longer ago and outside of worktime.

So in essence, you can get fired for being under influence at work, even though you’re not, because these tests are not good enough. And I think that’s nuts, aside from the massive invasion of privacy of giving an employer a claim to you bodily fluids.

Sure, you’re not supposed to use drugs. But is it your employer’s task to enforce the law? No, they’re not the police, and it’s none of their business what people do at home.

The whole workplace drug testing thing is so wild to me. An employer can actually lay claim to your bodily fluids? Absolutely mental.

In the Netherlands, it’s very simple:

• if there are performance problems, then you address your employee’s performance problems.
• if there are no performance problems, then there is no problem and what your employee does in their free time is none of your business.

Ryan?

The inside of your urethra is delicate and sensitive. Have you ever seen a kidney stone? They’re sharp and spikey, like crystals. Imagine that, and it should help you cut this addiction.

Rolling coal is one of the most mindbogglingly stupid things I’ve ever heard of. Truly, it makes it seem like Idiocracy didn’t go nearly far enough in their hyperbole. Nobody could’ve predicted people being this aggressively dumb.

Byeee

It wasn’t just the chemists either! There have been incidents where people in med tech labs have infected themselves with horrible and gross disease samples 💀

The front half of a centaur, Jesus Christ 😆

Such fascinating creatures! Subjectively barely an animal, almost a plant, especially in polyp phase. But so beautiful, and able to navigate, feed and survive, despite not having a brain and barely any nervous system to speak of. They must be very efficient, that they can survive with such low grade hardware.

Indeed, and red cats and red hair are orange.

Thanks for the links, those are great! That first one is very sensory for me - I immediately hear the echoing emptiness of the space, and have the smell of that old linoleum in my nose.

The one with the three cubicles is very strange, one of those pictures that you have to wonder about for a while.

Malls, what a strange cultural artefact to be disappearing.

That was super interesting, thanks for linking that!

I can’t find those, do you have a link to them?

Very cool. I’ve looked at some more of your pictures. I like the ones the most that have buildings but no people, and that have that strange, but not threatening, emptiness.

Or you wake up with a bad hangover and find that it’s missing again. It happens all the time, it’s detachable. It comes in handy a lot of the time, you can leave it at home when you think it’s going to get you in trouble.
