Tumblr User Rants about Dangers of Deregulation


Tumblr user tells story of dangers of deregulation with radium girls | bogleech Do also need fucking talk about Radium Girls again who slowly fucking rotted alive because company they worked deliberately hid knowledge radium's effects on living matter? feynites gonna talk about s depressing and dark as hell, but if anyone ever thinks themselves companies will just regulate out sense civic duty or basic human morality, and don't need outside enforcement

They say that safety regulations are written in blood and it gets way worse than a few OSHA-defying safety fails. Big companies don't exactly have your best interests at heart, and there's a whole boatload of evidence from the early 1900s to confirm that. For some less dark history, here's tumblr making history fun.

Instagram VS Reality (Potential Facetunes And Photoshops)


Instagram vs what people actually look like | side by side comparison two photos of kylie jenner in a blue dress, one is edited photoshopped to give her a slimmer waist and one shows he real figure. four photos of a woman with her face heavily filtered to the point it does not look real.

It's an interesting time to be alive. With so many apps at our disposal, people are able to edit and morph and tune their faces and bodies to such an extent that their picture can end up looking like a completely different person, from the one that the rest of the world sees. Enough with all the deception. These people either rock some surreal kinds of looks that escape our definition of what's physically possible, or they got caught red-handed trying to pull a fast photoshop on the online world.

Although, this just typical college job still did my best and made sure show up on time, work station supposed work, and do my best at whatever task supposed do.

This person was told that they should be aware of their work schedule even when they receive a schedule change with absolutely no notice, so they took their incompetent manager's advice to heart. While this seems like a lot of effort just to get under the skin of your annoying employer, it seems like it totally worked and it's kind of awesome. Here's a time when an employee got back at their horrible manager by giving them a uniquely confusing schedule.
