So I looked this up and it’s going to cross the Yaqui river, which is a water source for the Yaquí people. It looks like the ones resisting are specifically the Loma de Bacúm Yaquí, other groups were given compensation though I doubt it will make up for the potential environmental harm.A judge in September of last year ruled in their favor that the energy company did not have the right to enter their lands to repair the pipeline.

According to this article: https://intercontinentalcry.org/a-pipeline-runs-through-it/ There should be further action soon but I wasn’t able to find anything recent.

Not only is diet talk harmful and stigmatizing- it is incredibly boring.

Stop talking about your diet- you are boring everyone around you.

Seriously! RL friends, I love you, but I DO NOT FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOUR NEWEST DIET!

I liked you better before, when you were fat and didn’t care and didn’t have any stupid diets to yak on and on about!

Don’t talk about diets! Share recipes and bring samples.

Don’t talk diets. Talk about fun positive things you can do instead of dieting.

Dont talk diets. Talk about a potluck of favorite dishes.

Don’t talk diets. Talk about fun food adventures you can go on around town. (Hell, plan a trip all around awesome food unique to a location)

Don’t talk diets. Diets are boring, don’t work and are no fun.

This post is not brought to you by Kink. This post brought to you by good ideas everyone can enjoy.

man i’ve been on so many diets for my digestive issues and food intolerances and when people find out the boredom and disinterest is palpable. all i get from them is pity and contempt. so why is it when someone’s on a diet for weight loss they think he whole world wants to know and no one tells them any different?

The problem with the idea of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of recreation as a structure for a day is that it simply can’t work that way. If I’m expected to be at work at 9, then my work day must begin at 7. Allowing myself a rushed experience to wake up and get to work. And I live close to work. So either my recreation or my sleep needs to take a hit, but for some people it could be more. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as a basis for full time work is honestly unreasonable at that point. Because it isn’t actually 40 hours a week, it’s 50 hours a week lost to a job, of which 10 is unpaid.

some of my coworkers have 2h of transit to get to work, which takes 4-5h off their free time. working full time is a bad idea and shouldve never been a thing

This is, it’s worth noting, by design.  

It’s perfectly well known that people can only really “work” (in that they can only consistently and effectively perform tasks and create products) 3-6 hours a day, for 1 hour to 2 hours at a time. Generally speaking, the broad consensus among actual researchers is to aim for about 4 hours a day.

The rest of these work hours, and the associated sunken time necessary to get to and from these work hours, serves one purpose:

It exhausts people.

People who don’t have leisure time are stressed. People who are stressed need conveniences. People who need conveniences will pay for them.

People who are stressed also don’t have the energy to fight for their rights, having expended all that energy in just staying alive.

And let’s not forget that maintaining a clean home and providing food for yourself takes over 20 hours a week (appx 20 hours in-house, and varying hours spent running outside errands) if you are completely abled.
