How loyal? Can I get at least 25% of them to storm Mar-a-Lago?

This did not come from there, but r/linkedinlunatics is full of stuff that is way worse. I will never have another Linked In account, it’s become boomer-level Facebook for taint sniffers

I find LinkedIn in passable. You just need to stay away from the lunecy magnets. Plenty of big follow accounts are pretty nutcase free in the comments

Random male privilege fact of the day.

This week the first ever study to test the actual absorption of blood in menstrual products was published.

republicans forced corporations to only test pads using that blue liquid

The study was conducted by Dr Bethany Samuelson Bannow and a team of colleagues, in an effort to demystify and destigmatize heavy menstrual bleeding which, as it turns out, actually affects around one third of people who menstruate.

For context, abnormally heavy menstruation is measured according to how quickly an individual bleeds through a period product – needing to change your pad or tampon more than every hour is the current measure of abnormality.

What the what?!?

Seriously thought woman used one tampon a day at most.

I am obviously extremely single lol

Nah, that was just for the advertising.

The testing was just apathy and not bothering to find something to replicate period blood, because it was too hard waaaah

It’s more like a change every 4 to 8 hours. And the 8 isn’t just for bleeding through. Not changing frequently enough can lead to serious infections that can be fatal in the worst cases.

I googled the Taylor song. Was disappointed it wasn’t a bananarama cover.

This is common and more evidence of how women’s health is ignored. Imagine something that happens to every man every month and it not being totally common knowledge and openly discussed in every media context.

Ehh, I don’t know. There are male things that are not discussed. How many men experience erectile dysfunction? How about trouble urinating because of prostate issues? I don’t think people’s experience of these things is discussed very much.

I am at work right now taking a stupid “driver improvement course.” I’m doing it to keep the points for BS ticket I got last month for “improper lane change” off my driving record.

On the one hand, it is INTERMINABLE. Like, I am on the second section, and the woman is totally done reading the section to me, and I have also read it myself. However, there are still 8 freaking minutes left and I apparently cannot fast forward the fucking thing because you MUST spend the entire four hours on the course or it doesn’t count. Also, I can’t just get up and roam around or whatever, because it asked me to answer a bunch of random yes/no questions at the beginning, and it keeps asking me to re-answer them again, just to make sure I am still sitting here. :rage:

On the other hand, I am picking up some interesting/insightful tidbits in this thing at least. For example: Did you guys know that, among other things, in 2016 alone, the economic cost nationwide of motor vehicle crashes in 2016 was estimated to be 242 billion dollars? That number includes roughly $57.6 billion in “lost workplace productivity” according to this course. And I totally believe it because instead of being productive in my workplace, I am sitting here taking this course instead.
