Ridden is correct. They rode in or they have ridden in.

They always want a liquid lunch.

right on both counts

Possibly doughy and saucy, too.

Another but:

You’ve got to be a pretty good candidate for them to want to work with you. A friend of mine was placed by one, but she had a decade of project management experience with all the right buzzwords

I needed more than a binder’s worth for a student visa turned spousal visa in Germany, I can believe a hyper specific visa needing this much documentation.

I am the same with the steel version from them! I like that it’s made out of metal, but I do eventually fuck up the base because I drop it on the regular.

Yeah, there’s also unfortunately a difference in how a man wearing clothes that are too big vs a woman wearing clothes that are too small or too big is received. It was only a real problem for me with professional clothing, because otherwise I can get away with a dress unintentionally falling mid-thigh or sizing up and looking like I’m doing a menswear style.

Yeah, that’s got to be difficult. I’m in the opposite boat, as a 178 cm tall woman. I struggled finding dresses that were long enough in the US, but upon moving to central Europe, I have no issues at all (and my size shoe doesn’t run out within a day of being restocked anymore). I basically just don’t buy clothing made by Asian companies unless I can try it on in person first. People joke about “big bones,” but I’ve got a BMI of 20 and I have tried on XL and XXL sizes that don’t go over my shoulders.

Yes, though you would have to remember more numbers if you’re not making gendered sizes, things like the diameter of the arm hole and the distance between the neck and shoulder, but it’s not like there’s no way to do it. It’s just easier for clothing companies to gender clothes and most people don’t care enough to do anything about it.

People’s clothes would probably fit a lot better though.

My mom was religious, my dad wasn’t, so she took us to church on her own. My dad, meanwhile, would listen to a specific radio show with funky, atmospheric music, go on hikes with his friends, and make a large Sunday dinner for us.

I was an adult before I realized why the hikes were always shorter when the kids tagged along.

Those differences actually make sense to me. If you try to sell pants with the same length inseam in Honduras and the Netherlands, you’ll either prop up the local tailoring industry or fail. Those at least have an inseam measurement, but a medium shirt is going to have to be made for different proportions as well.

I think men’s and women’s sizes could be adapted to be more focused on body shape and less on gender, but I get where they’re coming from. Women are on average smaller than men, so a women’s medium will similarly be smaller than a men’s medium.

Ich rechne 13,05% mit den vier:

8,66+2,93=11,59

11,59+0,81=12,40

12,40+0,65=13,05

The tumblrefaction of Lemmy begins!

divine retribution for fossil capital’s greed and wanton exploitation of the natural world

I agree with the point of the meme, but come on

I’m nowhere close to tech and this is obviously a bad sign. Imagine an apartment complex trying to get new tenants by advertising that they have plumbers and exterminators do work twice a day at various units.

My mom did die of cancer, but not lung cancer. They both quit when they were younger than I am, but each smoked much more in total than I have, so I think that’s a toss up. Smoking is basically my only unhealthy habit -I don’t even sit very much- but it’s a whopper of an unhealthy habit

On June 2, 2045, I’ll outlive my mother. My father is still alive and in pretty good health. I think I take after him, but I started smoking again recently. I’m tapering off pretty well though and I’m still relatively young.

True, I thought that’s what you meant by mind reading. Nevertheless, from the linked article:

This theory and subsequent findings challenge the commonly held belief that the social skills of all autistic individuals are inherently and universally impaired across contexts, as well as the theory of “mind-blindness” proposed by prominent autism researcher Simon Baron-Cohen in the mid-1990s, which suggested that empathy and theory of mind are universally impaired in autistic individuals.[13][14][15][16]

I also replied to them that that’s not the current understanding. Autistic people are able to demonstrate both types of empathy with other autistic people, and neither autistic nor allistic people can do it as well with each other. There are just way more allistic people, so we used to think the empathy disconnect was one-sided.
