Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has enforced grounding...

@niclas naw, for safety. No other plug has as good internal wiring safety, a fuse, a power button at the plugsocket and required grounding for the circuit to become live.

just gonna say this with my full throat:WHY THE FUCK DO THEY ALWAYS SAY CANADA IS THE BEST PLACE FOR LGBTQ+ ACCEPTANCE?Fuck off Canada, and Fuck off all those LGBTQ+ Polls that balance "Trans acceptance" as a minor part of their equation.Oh this country has a great record for Marriage equality for gay people does it?What about their views on trans people?

So let me get this straight, the ceo of reddit is going to give each subreddit that took part in the blackout a vote, and members of that subreddit will get to vote if they want to remove the moderators/admin of that subreddit?so we're about to see a ton of subreddits get taken over by fash admins and mods right?

so if your lgbtq+ subreddit took part in the blackout but has now returned to a nonlocked state for example, and is allowing new members to join, id imagine you're going to be seeing a huge contingent of sockpuppet bot accounts signing up ready for the vote.

well, reddit, youve been shit but youve also been one of the few hubs for many small communities that are necessary for minorities, and yet you barely managed to get your act together on banning a great many illegal or just pure hate subreddits - i guess im just gonna have to sit back and watch the fireworks.

"Twice a day the letters that must be canceled are laid out in two files, one on either side of a divided table. Two men sit across from one another at the table, and each has a hand-canceling machine (like the price markers you may have seen in supermarkets), an ink pad, and a stack of letters. The work part of the process is simple: a letter is slipped from the stack with the left hand, and the right hand inks the marker and stamps the letter... This is what you are hearing: the two men seated at the table slap a letter rhytmically several times to bring it from the file to the position on the table where it is to be canceled. (This act makes a light-sounding thud.) The marker in inked one or more times (the lowest, most resonant sound you hear)... The rhythm produced is not a simple one-two-three (bring forward the letter - ink the marker - stamp the letter). Rather, musical sensitivities take over. Several slaps on the letter to bring it down, repeated thuds of the marker in the ink pad and multiple cancellations of single letters are done for rhythmic interest. uch repetition slows down the work, but also makes it much more interesting. The other sounds you hear have nothing to do with the work itself. A third man has a pair of scissors that he clicks - not cutting anything, but adding to the rhythm. The scissors go "click, click, click, rest," a basic rhythm used in Ghanaian popular music. The fourth worker simply whistles along. He and any of the other three workers who care to join him whitsle popular tunes or church music that fits the rhythm."
