Apparently the 1300 ft trash chute in 432 Park Avenue does not have any breaks or offsets in it to slow down the garbage so stuff thrown away at the top floors easily reaches terminal velocity and sounds like bombs going off when it hits the bottom.

Every time I see this building I feel compelled to knock it in half like a kindergartner with a tower of blocks

Embattled Billionaire Skyscraper Developer Sued for Shoddy Construction

The condo board at 432 Park Avenue in New York alleges more than 1,500 design and development flaws

Architectural Digest

Wait

WAIT

The architect was DEATH RAY SKYSCRAPER RAFAEL VINOLY??!

I have to admit, the Death Ray Skyscraper guy does sound like someone who would invent terminal velocity trash chutes.

things that happened to me when i was a woman in STEM:

• an advisor humiliated me in front of an entire lab group because of a call I made in his place when he wouldn’t reply to my e-mails for months
• he later delegated part of my master’s thesis work to a 19-year old male undergrad without my approval
• a male scientist at a NASA conference looked me up and down and asked when i was graduating and if i was open to a job at his company. right before inquiring what my ethnicity was because i “looked exotic”
• a random male member of the public began talking over me and my female advisor, an oceanographer with a pHD and decades of experience, saying he knew more about oceanography than us

things that have happened to me since becoming a man in STEM:

• being asked consistently for advice on projects despite being completely new to a position
• male colleagues approaching me to drop candid information regarding our partners / higher ups that I was not privy to before
• lenience toward my work in a way I haven’t experienced before. incredible understanding when I need to take time off to care for my family.
• conference rooms go silent when I start talking. no side chatter. I get a baseline level of attention and focus from people that’s very unfamiliar and genuinely difficult for me to wrap my head around.

like. yes some PI’s will still be assholes regardless of the gender of their subordinates but, I’ve lived this transition. misogyny in STEM is killing women’s careers, and trans men can and do experience male privilege.

the absurdity of the "innie" and "outtie" terms to refer to who this person is at work (where they can only remember being there and are unable to remember anything else) and out of work (cannot remember anything that happens at work) is done for the same reasons companies say stuff like their all a family and that its there to make something seem nice and soft and fuzzy and not like the horrific violation it is to have your memories surgically split and to be two people one of which exists entirely to work and literally never gets to stop doing so

teaboot:

I don’t wanna be a hater but that premise sounds stupid and I kind of want to know how the developers in-canon react to questions like “what if the work person has a mental breakdown from doing nothing but work” and “how does the not-work person feel about only existing for like 8ish hours at a time with huge gaps in between” and “if someone does a crime at work, does the not-work half go to jail too” or “what if the two halves, living different experiences, straight up evolve into different people with different desires” and “what if they quit their job”

Actually I kind of want to watch and find out for real if they address my questions

….Actually never mind, this sounds like it would be stressful to watch like Game of Thrones, I’m back out again

the degree that parents of young children seem to think Baby Shark came out of nowhere astounds me. this is a DECADES-OLD camp song, that has spanned generations. 

i am not a parent of a young child but i worked at summer camps for years and let me tell you before it was ruined by parents of young children baby shark was the most fun camp song ever. kids went buckwild over baby shark. but then it had to be commercialized. you ruined it. yall motherfuckers stay away from the bear song or we’ll have words 

#part of the problem w/ commercializing camp songs#other than you know Everything#is that it canonizes a specific version#one of the best parts of baby shark was that every camp had slightly different versions#does the singer die and go to hell?#are they reincarnated as a shark?#are they left as a concsious severed head bobbing in the waves?#it was different each time it was sung and its fucking beautiful

still astonished that there are people who really refer to Twitter as “x” now. Even in casual conversation. You don’t need to do that.
