the title comes from a guy who gets in an accident with a cement mixer and gets buried alive in concrete. from what I remember it goes into pretty decent detail about the concrete solidifying and breaking every bone in his body

when they pulled him out he was in the christ on the crucifix pose, hence the title (I think)

If you aren't ok being called whatever you're insecure. Prove me wrong

It's called a micro aggression and if Bernie wins the election next year it's going to be punishable by death

I just started my semester to finally finish undergrad. Wish me luck.

So he's floating on top of the concrete in a concrete truck?

Sounds terrible. Also a weird way to get stuck in concrete since the drums on the trucks spin, but whatevs.

i went to one of the most liberal universities in the world during the height of the Iraq War and defended the surge in poli sci class after poli sci class then went back a couple years ago to pursue a doctorate at one of the most liberal universities in the world and mostly just curse at people in Spanish when they try the Latinx business

I've thought about going back to school but I have a terminal degree, I'd have to get a masters in something unrelated. I just like being in school.

School is for people who are looking for direction. Great place to go if you want to pretend you're going to get some

Buddy let me tell you about the number of doors a bachelors in nuclear engineering would've opened up had I bothered to get my piece of paper from thomas edison.

Upsetting is a strong word. I think it's annoying that someone is announcing themselves to an entire group in this way. I don't care if you want to be referred to using gendered or non gendered pronouns.

There's no difficulty in it. If someone tells me they don't want to be labeled he/him, she/her that's fine. I just think the action of announcing it to a group of people is dumb.

That video posted a while ago of whatever conference is a good example. First guy says "Dan, he/him, guys can we keep the conversations to a minimum." Next guy "Fred, they/them, DON'T USE GENDER SPECIFIC PRONOUNS TO ADDRESS AN ENTIRE GROUP."

Whoa dude, too sensitive to this shit.

Wouldn't it save time to announce to a group especially if you're introducing yourself to the group. Seems like a weird thing to be annoyed by.

I'd go back to the example I gave of the conference where it really made no fucking difference. Save time? I guess. I don't see the need to announce it period. How often do you speak with someone and direct one of these pronouns at them? You don't walk up to a girl, asking her to help you find an address/item and say "Can she help me find [blank]?" You say "you." Just like in this post, my responses are towards "you" not "he" or "she."

The only other time would be if you're talking about them to someone else. Maybe they're in earshot, maybe not.

nuclear engineering is an interesting choice, still only about 40% of people with a degree in it work in that specific field tho
