I know some five years back when I was more lib, there was talk and articles on how palm oil harvesting was using slave labor and people were killing orangutans and stuff. It's basically resulted in me avoiding stuff with palm oil, which tends to include some of the fancier snacks at times and convenience foods as well.

But it wasn't until recently I found myself wondering, is palm oil really on par with the shit that goes on with chocolate? Or is this on some level the usual anti-Asian sentiment I see in so much Western media, possibly taking some bad instances and extrapolating it to countries and peoples' as a whole?

P.S. sorry for the run-on sentences. I actually shaved it down a bit. Anyway, may disappear for a few hours, but this has been weighing on me a bit.

I went for a run and missed it, and boy can you not use a search engine to find an Imane Khelif match rn

I also received a text letting me know that I should have my funds coming in the next week. I’m a bit confused as to why my company would send me some cash, does thus have something to do with the union and some sort of deal they’ve made about receiving holiday pay for a portion of the time I was fired? Or is the company trying to fuck me by telling DOL “actually we sent them money during this period when they told you we didn’t”

No idea what the fuck is going on. This isn’t severance pay either, doesnt exist at my job

I feel like i can get 8-10 hours of sleep and still need a nap during the day.

I've also been told I snore like a freight train by many an ex..

I always thought I was too skinny/ in shape for sleep apnea, but we shall see.

Probably going to ask about a sleep study at my local health clinic

Sorry just slight body dysmorphia.

Obviously any little girls death is a tragedy, but the far right has apparently had a successful anti immigrant scapegoat with this situation.

Some English chud on Twitter was trying to rile shit up kept calling it "civil war"

On every post dealing with the fascist marches he'd post something like

"We've had enough this is civil war"

Well, how many?

edited to add -

so you know how in English, the rooster says cockadoodle doo, but in Spanish it’s kikiriki?

Does a train make different sounds in other countries? What a stupid American question to ask.

Title says it all. I was doing some AI training stuff for a month or two, but that well has dried up. Something hourly would be preferable, but ill check any suggestions you got!

I know a bunch of people here are on DataAnnotation, but I've got 2 accounts with them and they never assigned me any work.

I took three years of Spanish and got an A every semester. Even when it was still fresh in my mind, I was nowhere near able to hold even a very simple conversation. And now just a few years later it's all totally gone from my brain.

My mother's native language is Spanish and she never taught me, which I resent her for. But I still find it incredible how shitty my public school education in Spanish was. We really should be teaching kids a second language from kindergarten up.

I have incredible tooth pain rn and I'm not employed and don't have dental insurance. To my knowledge a hospital won't do anything unless it's an emergency. But it's not like I can do much of anything besides attempt to sleep through it and treat it with oral benzocaine and oragel. It's been like this on and off for the last 4 years. I'm so distraught that I'm considering waking into traffic. I hate this and just want to stop existing. Is there anything y'all can recommend? I'm in Pinellas county Florida if that helps. Currently donating plasma and the sodium citrate is seemingly making the pain worse.

I'm not good at math, but people keep passing this chart around in reddit-logo

But I keep seeing people in the comments debating whether this is actually "impossible" or not, using stats terms I'm not familiar with. Also idk the source of this graph so maybe it's bs.

My fucking idiot stepdad convinced me to get a degree in goo science around 2001-ish, saying goo was only going to get more popular after Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, Flubber, etc. etc. THAT was fucking wrong and now I need contingencies in case I get laid off.

Was thinking about trying to invent either a goo-based cereal or maybe goo pest traps, but I don't think I have the funds or wherewithal for that.
