WE'RE pissing on company time

Here is a skill that many of us are going to need for survival: how to tell if someone is offering to let you lie.

The tip-off phrase is "If [circumstance] was true, then we/I could do [helpful thing.]" This is not a guarantee that the person is offering, but it should tell you "I am being informed of a way to improve things."

Your confirmation phrase is "What documentation would that require?" This is essentially asking them "if people come asking me to prove this, will I be able to? Or will they not come at all?"

The answer you are hoping for with the confirmation phrase is "Just tell me if it's true, and I'll put it on the form." Note that this is not a direct instruction to lie, because they can't tell you that.

If they didn't mean to extend an offer to lie or this is a situation where they can't, then they'll list off something like your paystubs or your birth certificate. Your response back in that case is "Thanks, I'll tell my friends who qualify." This clears you of any concerns that you may have been considering lying.

The more complex answer is when they answer by giving you a form on the spot. Your job, in this case, is to scan the form and see if what they are asking you can be meaningfully verified by an official source.

Things that can be verified by an official source include, but are not limited to, your age, legal sex, income, veteran status, and place of residence. It's not generally a good idea to lie about these on official documents.

Be smart, and be practical. Do what you need to in order to stay alive, and keep an ear out for the people offering to help you do so.

This fucking post I made 9 years ago was honestly slept on

A lot of this 'transwomen can get their period' stems solely from the lack of in-depth education given to students about female anatomy. So many teens and adults do not even understand the intricacies of the female anatomy, hence why so many were so quick to profess that male people can have periods if they take estrogen. There is just such little sex education available and even less when it comes to the female body.

I totally get her pain and her regret. Having to do this for someone, especially a family member who you were close with or at least thought you were close with is so hard. Having to weaponise the words you know will cut deep into someone to get them to snap out of it.

A woman's first betrayal and experience of male violence is often through her father. Seeing it happen always stings.

I cannot stand when men yell. In life it's almost entirely unnecessary and yet they jump to it so much faster than women and it's disgusting how they use it to intimidate others.

I'm once again here to tell you that eugenics is the study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable. It is not women getting abortions because their child will be permanently disabled and or in chronic physical pain if they are born. It is not women deciding they cannot care for a down syndrome child who will need permanent care. It is not individual women making choices that effect their lives and bodies and families.

Women are not vessels for people to be birthed and cared for, women are people who deserve to DECIDE how to spend their short lives

Things cats were right about all along:

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

something that always haunts me is that when the white supremacist who did a mass shooting at a black church in Charleston in 2015 was being interrogated he said that the people there were so kind and welcoming that he almost didn’t go through with it, but decided to anyway

it has never been about “not being nice enough” when it comes to violent bigotry, and saying that it all just stems from hurt feelings is putting blame on the victims for being murdered for simply not being born white and/or male
