I think maybe I'm waiting for the day when they say "we'll pay your student loans for 3,000 points!"

The thing is, it's not always willful ignorance. Sure, there are people who don't know things and don't learn and are proud, but every instance of someone not knowing something is not an instance of willful ignorance. It's just not knowing. Are you talking about the coup attempt in 2002? Because I was in elementary…

Because long, large tragedies escape reporting fairly easily and quickly and it's hard to find information on things you don't know about when the problem is so big and has been happening for so long. Same reason people don't know about the conflict in the Congo or the ongoing attempts at indigenous genocide in…

I felt Gigi's eye makeup looked dated. It made her look older and in her before it's clear she is so youthful looking and lovely.

The policy where you work (you are speaking of Australian states, correct?) is incredible. Even in popular fictional entertainment, I do not see any facility equipped to do what you describe. If a 100 kg man fell to the floor in my facility (unionized, publicly funded), 50kg Filipinas with prior back, arm or shoulder…

I agree, I hated her makeover. She is so pretty naturally and she looked 20 years older after having all that makeup loaded on. I might be on board if the eyes were done without the purple. I'm a natural shadow/dark brown eyeliner/black mascara girl myself and my eyes look done but not clownish. Maybe I'm showing my…

It's also due to most cameras (esp those found on phones) using auto white balancing. It's most obvious in the third makeover, where the algorithm decides the wall is one colour when the whiter trim is included in the first photo and then decides it's white in the second photo when the trim is excluded.

Nah it's everything. This is one example of hospitals that depend on state funds (aka all of the ones that matter) having no money for *anything* Finding a fucking operating room is impossible. It's not like Venezuelan doctors don't know what the best care is, they just have no resources because the state owns…

Seriously. I feel like Gigi's After looks 20 years older than her before. That's just wrong.

I don't do much more than a powder and/maybe bb cream or tinted moisturizer for my whole face. I like the way it evens out my dark spots I have from stupid acne. I honestly feel like wearing the whole primer/foundation/concealer cover and fill in everything is just too much for anyone! Jesus, sorry just deal with my…

I don't think either of the first two look like they've plucked their brows much, if at all? I think they just aren't filled in and shaped with makeup in the "before" shots.

Yep. The makeup is definitely a big downgrade.

Oh my gosh I have soo much to say- I work in Human Resources for the Health Authority and I have to agree with the findings of this study. However as someone who works in the operations (not policy!), I would argue this is kind of a non-story. The same barriers that prevent women from competing in other fields are at…

Oh my god, so much prettier natural. The combination of bright lipstick and shadow feels very nursing home chic - like are we sure the makeup artist isn't someone's grandma who can no longer tell how bright the makeup is? (Yes, I'm sure because the cheek color is pretty, not two giant hot pink circles).

Refute it all you like, but just because you don't want to hear that you're the beneficiary of male privilege, doesn't mean that you aren't.

That is specific to that role, but doesn't explain other, non-physical areas. Or how the widest pay gap in nursing is in the field of nurse anesthetists—$17K!

I believe the point is that leaving the work force partially (as in part time work) or fully for a few years may influence average pay. Opting out to care for children and then opting back in would certainly affect promotions and raises over the long run. We're all painfully aware that on average, it is not working…

That wouldn't help because women who try to negotiate are seen as troublemakers and men who try to negotiate are seen as take charge.

So because some of men have the required physical strength to restrain a patient, they decided to pay all of the men more? Or do the male nurses who can't bench press their body mass at the weigh-in get downgraded to the lady-pay?

Oh, I have a wonderful example of this in action. I'm at work. Myself and the other women in the office start feeling weird. Headaches, dizziness, etc. We think we can smell gas. We become concerned. The men are all "whatever, you are all crazy". This goes on for a couple hours. We are feeling really gross. The men…
