America moment
People in america need to wake up to the fact they're trying to kill us on a daily bases feeding is things that are illegal in most countries
It probably wasn’t pesticides. It was more likely a difference in the amount of gluten in the bread.
North American bread has a much higher gluten content, because there is a higher gluten content in North American wheat and other grains. This is because the grains need it to survive the generally colder climates of North America, so they’ve been bred to have a higher gluten content, which helps insulate the grains from the cold.
So it’s not that the higher amount of gluten is illegal in other places, it’s simply just not necessary, and so it’s not there.
And so North American people who have gluten intolerances often see relief when they eat European bread, due to it not containing the extra gluten.
This is an incredibly common phenomenon.
If you are a North American with a gluten intolerance, now doubting the legitimacy of that because of this video or screenshot, I promise they aren’t poisoning you, they’re just trying to make sure that people in North America can have their own wheat, flour, and bread without the logistics and high price of shipping it across the Atlantic Ocean.
saw this rbed without this addition (i already knew this but u can look it up if ur unsure) n you guys should rb this version instead! our (meaning American ) government sucks but not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy some things are the way they are for many different reasons and it sucks but it is what it is i promise u American bread isn't being poisoned by the govt .

American wheat tends to have higher levels of gluten, as well as other differences in composition.
Source: 'Around 60 percent of U.S. wheat production is of the hard red wheat variety; just 23 percent consists of soft wheat [source: Brester]. In Europe, the principal strains of wheat are generally of the soft variety. So what's the difference between the two? Part of the difference lies in gluten, a protein blend found in wheat and other grains. Hard wheat has more gluten than soft wheat, and the gluten it contains is stronger than gluten found in soft wheat.
[...] Due to soil and growing conditions, the differences between American and European wheat extend further than gluten content. American wheat contains about 10 times more selenium, a trace mineral, than European varieties [source: Shewry]. Levels of all proteins are lower overall in European wheat compared to American varieties [source: Gisslen'
This is also why homemade biscuits in the south of the US are lighter and softer than biscuits in the north.
It’s easier to find soft wheat flour in the Southern US than the Northern US because that’s where it grows, so if you don’t know that the bagged flour you’re buying is hard wheat, your biscuits won’t be as light and fluffy.
it hurts the lord when you listen to lustful, violent music. so crank that shit UP
together we can kill that old fuck
harsh truth: Boomers just showed up
as in showed up to a place
asked hey you hiring and if they were then
they just trained you
for the job
just like that
✨wow✨
an old roommate told me a story about how in the early 90s her mom showed up to this place to interview for a secretary job
guy from an office across the hall pops his head out and asks if she's here for them, a computer position
she says no nope nu uh I know nothing about computers and he goes WE'LL TRAIN YOU PLEASE WE NEED PEOPLE and yanks her off her feet and through the door
today she's a highly sought after computer technician making bank
the point is that once the economy was so amazing that you could get fired from most jobs and have a new one the following week or even the next day
Not to mention now LinkedIn is just full of promoted/advertised jobs that aren’t relevant and a shit ton of literal fake jobs
it's worth it as well to mention that many "open positions" aren't ever going to be filled, that a number of corporations have admitted to listing jobs just to appease overworked staff by telling them they're looking to hire people to help with the workload with no intention of actually hiring anyone
In addition there are people/hiring agencies who have created bots that have them apply for any new job that shows up with whatever criteria they gave the bot to search for. We had a number of completely unqualified applicants apply for a library job we recently had open. This was a higher level position (not entry level) so the education and work experience was needed. Half the applicants didn't have either.
Friends, I am begging you. Do NOT apply through Indeed. At all. Ever. At best you’re lost in a pile of apps that never actually get to a recruiter, at worst 90% of the apps you’re filling out are a scam. Always apply DIRECTLY through the company’s website. You’re 100x more likely to actually get a response. If they don’t have that option, red flag. Move on. Also, look these places up on Glassdoor. Find out if they’re legit and treat their employees halfway decent. If you’re a current student or college graduate, see if your school has a career services team. Utilize that shit. That’s how I was able to get multiple offers and actually choose the better option for myself. Work smarter, not harder. Times are shitty, but you do have a shot if you can cut through the noise.
Hiring manager echoing some comments, with the caveat that my experience applies to hiring people for software positions:
- Those bots that people/agencies are using to scrape and apply for jobs are the number one reason that job listings (especially in tech) get closed so fast. Not because we've found a great candidate, but because a hiring manager will get 100+ applicatications from LinkedIn in under 24 hours and then need to go have a little lie-down while they stare into the abyss.
- Always, ALWAYS apply at the company website.
- Be prepared to provide examples of previous work. Don't go crazy, but make sure you have some on hand.
- For non-coding positions, almost every "experience with (tool or app) is a secondary consideration. If I hire you, I'm confident that you'll be able to learn how to use a tool via google and asking your co-workers.
Applying for jobs is a soul-destroying process. But there is work out there, and you do have a shot at things.
the fundamental tension between wanting to dissociate modes of dress from gender and people wanting to use modes of dress to signify their gender so they don't have to play the Pronoun Game
There was a trans girl I used to follow on tumblr, who I think is no longer here but might have just changed her name and I lost track
who commented on how it was easier to pass in Utah than it was in San Francisco. In Utah people were like "wearing a dress, has earrings, must be a girl, check!" Whereas in SF people would pass her on the street and say "hey man, nice dress!"
a tw friend of mine who lived for a while in ND then moved to seattle said basically the same thing, she wears flannels and work pants a lot, and like. that's a very particular type of lesbian in the midwest, and just some guy in seattle
