    I remember often playing in construction sites as a kid, and we once found a roll of fiberglass. we just decided to sit on it and play with it (I found it funny how it tickled my skin) 😭😭

    Stop the liberal anti wallcandy propaganda. It feels so good to eat the wall candy. It tastes exactly like cotton candy but it’s available in my walls and my mattress

    There are more nasty things you ingest daily. the most healthy people die early because of simply bad genes while some smoking couch potatoes rapists live to 100 years old

    We need some cope though and semblance of control hence existence of religion, nutrition ‘science’ and rumba. People brains ain’t made to handle the raw reality

    So you can feel good and safe doing bullshit exercises up until the last day before random heart failure

    There is no scorn or contempt here don’t get me wrong it’s all fine as long as we feel good in my opinion. I wouldn’t think of anyone who doesn’t raw dog reality as a lesser being it’s simply impossible to function without some kind of copium mechanism for fragile existence whether it is wellbeing coaching, technobrosing, mysticism or Christianity all fulfills same purpose

    It’s even better for you to adopt one of them and not handicap yourself with existential crisises every evening

        Optimism comes easier when you have all the real estate you will ever need. I imagine if you are struggling it would be hard to find some kind of solace

      Can’t tell if the pic is AI or not, but your point stands and applies to a much larger issue with the slop being generated at a death-spiral pace across the internet.

      Most of the people trying to replicate “stock photos” on the cheap have no clue what the subject is about or how it should look, so if some South Tanzanian family decide to make a few bucks pumping out content with help of their local internet cafe, they can generate the most professional pictures of people doing all kinds of activities. Pictures which get picked up by someone else somewhere else who is trying to make a guide or informational content, again for a few fast bucks. And this story repeats at all levels of human society at all levels because of capitalism. Every time, something is lost, some detail missed, some cultural context glossed over, and this is how we lose human history.

      And eventually, inevitably, one way or another, humans.

        Stock photo creation has always had the problem of not knowing what the subject matter is supposed to look like. Take a look at desktop computer assembly/maintenance or medical stock photography. The newer problem is that it’s happening faster; more laypeople are able to produce more incorrect stock photos.

  • While this definitely is bad, I think people tend to be a bit unreasonable about this stuff.

    Fiberglass is not asbestos, and by the way, asbestos is not uranium.

    Do wear the proper PPE, yes, but also don’t be neurotic about it. Even full-time asbestos miners don’t always get related cancers. If you removed some without knowing, studies show you’ll be fine. Your body can and does eliminate asbestos, albeit very slowly.

    And again, fiberglass is not asbestos, and doesn’t cause mesothelioma. It’s still not recommended to breathe it in, especially not on the regular, but you don’t need to live in fear of it.

    It’s not that they don’t want to sell it to you, it’s just they don’t want to force you to wear protective equipment, so your employer can cheap out on it.

    Also isn’t Home Depot one of those very christian corpos in the US? If yes, then there’s also a non-zero chance they think wearing protective equipment is “gay”.

      One of the founders is a hardcore Trump guy, but he’s not part of the company anymore. The company itself splits its donations between Democrats and Republicans. (That’s one of the tricks of a two party system. You can split your donation in half and win either way.)

      They’re not overly Christian the way Jimmy Johns or Chick-fil-A are.

    Why is he kneeling on that board? He should be balancing his knees directly on the roof beams - get those kneecaps wobbling

      Lol, I got yelled at for wasting time cause I went back down to get a scrap piece of board and some knee pads. After really slowing down an hour in, he went down and did the same. What’s the point of buying stuff that helps you work easier and faster if you’re not gonna use it?

    Ads disguising themselves as regular posts (e.g. the “LPT”) is bad. It gets worse when someone screenshots and reposts the ad, presumably even for free. But why does the R****t ad make it all the way to Lemmy!??
