People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

there is no ethical or moral center to these people except profit and puffing out their chests for the public.
If you're wondering why a large chunk of ostensibly left-of-center pundits are waging war on environmental protections in the form of an "abundance agenda," it's because Silicon Valley has quietly developed a culture of rampant pollution.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

Guess that’s why the “-tated” way has always sounded odd and extra to me. Cool (what also sounds wrong to me is “decimated” that isn’t taking about “ten percent,” but … whole nother thing, that).

complete digression but this one always cracks me up because sure yes the *modern* tampon was invented by Tampax to treat bullet wounds but you know who invented tampons to manage menstrual bleeding? Nah we don’t know either because the earliest written records of them are from nearly 4000 years ago
Clever.
I have in a professional capacity used tampons for things rather closer to their original design purpose (packing gunshot wounds) than might be expected, and this notion has come as a surprise to colleagues including at referral, who clearly never thought to do that?

I’m going to generally state this yet again. Just because you feel like something is an unlawful order, which is the correct term, not “illegal order,” that does not mean it is indeed an unlawful order. It is not unlawful to deploy a soldier to do yardwork or stand on a corner. Don’t spread bad info
