One thing about the beeping freezer. I read a full article on it. The freezer needed some form of maintenance that surfaced during the pandemic, so nobody had still gotten to it despite many calls had been made to the manufacturer. And the beeping came from this unresolved issue. The cleaning guy was instructed on what to do to stop the beeping noise. Except he clicked on the wrong button which turned off the electricity going to the freezer. He wasn't as stupid to shut an entire freezer because of a beeping noise. Just to clarify, he was still negligent.

[@hehehorf782]

Yeah I worked in a lab once with a freezer like this. -80 degree Celsius. Stocked completely full with thousands of important samples of proteins and DNA. it was literally all of my boss' life work. It makes a very annoying beep anytime the temperature goes down a certain point because if the samples get too warm and defrost, they become damaged. The beep is annoying so you HAVE to go check on it.

@@lurch789 no it's fully the cleanser's fault. Why? Because they're old enough to take orders and understand what to do and not do. It's not hard to follow instructions. Expecially when they were explicitely told. It's almost like a cleaner cleaning a room full of important electrical equipment. Everyone knows water and electronics don't go together as they aren't friends but rather enemies. As a fully grown adult if someone tells you how to turn off an alarm, you should be able to do it unless you have some mental disability. We're not talking about kids. But rather adults.

7:37 The stupid water and bathroom control thing at schools mixed with my social anxiety actually caused me (in elementary school) to come up with a dangerous process that not only caused extreme dehydration, but also carried the risk of bladder infection to the point of intense pain when I'd get home and rush to the bathroom. I was too nervous to risk the embarrassment of asking to go and being denied, so I just didn't. The only thing I'd drink unless I felt like I was dying was a single chocolate milk carton at lunch, and wouldn't even get the chance to finish that. It eventually culminated in me nearly passing out from heat stroke during an outdoor gym class at the end of the year. We were in line for the water fountain on a day so hot that I don't think that anything will ever feel as hot (regardless of if it actually is) and two boys were fighting to the point I remember them pushing each other into the other kids. The teacher decided to punish everyone by not letting us get water and sending us back onto the field. I couldn't even get up the hill (That was covered in large rocks that could easily cause a concussion if someone fell) before I felt like if I didn't lay down IMMEDIATELY I would fall down and hit my head. It was several minutes until someone found me and brought me to the nurse's office.

[@zephie531]

I was really similar, due to a fun mix of sensory issues, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and chronic pain I couldn’t drink from school cups or fountains and I couldn’t bring in a water bottle because of the extra weight. I wasn’t allowed to store my stuff anywhere, we had to carry it all so I had to make it as lightweight as possible. Dehydration was kinda inevitable. I had really extreme anxiety about contamination as a child and I’m still not great about it, but it used to border on being an actual disorder. Teachers didn’t really get that. We were only allowed one packed lunch a week also so I just didn’t eat the other days. School toilets were a nightmare and since nursery I would do anything to avoid them. I guess the dehydration actually helped there. The avoidance also lead to really bad anxiety even when the contamination aspect wasn’t there. I am not comfortable eating around people, even friends really, or doing anything related to taking care of myself as a human. One of my friends called me an android because she had never seen me eat or drink more than a biscuit in the two years we had been at school together. Thankfully I’m not anorexic, I do have an eating disorder obviously but I manage it reasonably well. Just means I have to plan so I don’t have to eat around people and manage the sensory aspects with backup options of safe foods. I also have to remember to actually drink because I can now.

I remember when I was in highschool and our Spanish teacher was lecturing at the beginning of class, I quietly took out my water bottle, and took my meds, she went off on me so violently and I responded with a very meek "sorry I had to take my meds".

Man, why the fuck do we let people like this into our schools? The number of teachers who actually hate children and constantly pull power trips on their students is honestly astounding. Then again, this is what happens when you prioritize student obedience over student wellbeing.

@@AliciaMajo Ayy, good to see a fellow neurodivergent person out here! I prefer not to dwell too much on the bad experiences I’ve had with the public school system. I’m mostly alright now, but it’s left me with a lingering resentment towards the current state of affairs in education. Sorry if I made any assumptions about your teacher- I know most folks have their off days. It just reminded me a little too much of those types of teachers who leverage their positions of authority to bully their students. The types who take any kind of disturbance in their class as a personal insult, no matter how innocuous the action may be, then play victim once they’re called out for their own poor behavior. Sidenote: I’m not American either, but Canada isn’t much better in that regard. What’s funny is that I’m trying to get my degree so I can be a teacher myself. I figure that I can’t fix the system itself, but I can make a positive difference on a smaller scale. I hope to be the kind of teacher I would have needed back then.

That is on another level already. If you do your job properly the company shouldn't care how often you have to go to the bathroom. I mean, I can understand that it gets suspicious if one of your employees needs to use the bathroom like 10 times a day. But as an employer you then should just ask "Is the work getting done?" and if the answer is a yes, then who fucking cares? Just like with home office and not being idle for more than a few moments.

@@froggy8714 it's even worse than that, because if you have the runs you can potentially hold on at least a little. There's the urgent pressure and the sphincter muscle that are holding things back and you know that you're about to blow like a volcano. For some there's a day's grace once your period settles as an adult, like a day of cramping or a few ignorable spots the day before, or a few hours prior For others though it is just the flood gates opening. No amount of clenching stops it because there is no muscle ring holding it back. There is a minor limit because the passageway at the top is relatively narrow, but that doesn't mean much for those who suffer "flooding" But for those who don't experience periods, intense and urgent runs are the best analogy.

In our highschool, we are only allowed to go to the bathroom in the first and last 10 minutes of class, and a lot of teachers constantly get annoyed when someone asks to use the bathroom after lunch. I am now also fully 100% convinced that we as a species are completely screwed. I doubt we'll be able to fix our broken society.

[@DSoSJohnH]

I got to watch one of my classmates in high school, I was 11th or 12th grade and iirc he was 9th grade, ask to go to the bathroom. The teacher said no, should have gone before class, with our 5 minutes of in between time... A few minutes later, he asked again. She said no and to stop asking. So he did. He got up, walked to the trashcan, pulled out his junk and started peeing right into the trashcan. She went ballistic. He was sent to the office for it. He was back in class the next day, didn't get in trouble, cause his mom came down on them for not letting her son use the restroom, some medical reason that was in his file. The teacher never spoke to him again and he never spoke to her, except to go to the restroom. We all got to go upon asking after that. Legend.

[@Schilani]

I can somewhat understand that teachers don't want students to constantly raise their hand and asks if they can go to the bathroom. In some classes it happens quite a lot, especially when it's 30 students in one room. But what one of my school just did was... don't ask. Get up and go to the bathroom quietly. No need to wait for the teacher to notice you. People going just going to the bathroom is way less disruptive if they don't have to speak up about it. Just when it's exams or stuff like that, you obviously can't just go whenever, or three times during a 90 minute exam, like some people try.

[@bluestreaker9242]

In all fairness, the asking to go to the bathroom thing or going to get some water thing makes sense for CHILDREN because the teachers are responsible for making sure the kids are safe, and a big part of that is knowing where they are at all times; if a child goes missing, they can get in trouble, the school can get in trouble, the entire district can get in trouble, etc., etc. Though I think it's mostly because restrooms and water fountains aren't in the classroom...usually. I remember attending an elementary school where a couple classrooms had both. So yeah, teachers should not be allowed to refuse a student to go do whatever; as long as you know where ALL of your students are, then if they say they NEED to get a drink of water or go to the restroom or go to the nurse, etc., then let them; your students' bodily functions are not negotiable, period.

I was, needless to say, allowed to go to the bathroom, but I'm pretty sure I got detention for "back-talking". I never went, that school handed me detentions for being 30 seconds late to class because of fucking traffic since I physically couldn't ride the bus, I had detention every school day and every Saturday for literally over a hundred years worth of days for things I didn't do or had no control over, I stopped going after the first week or two. By the time I left that school I had over 300 years of detention time racked up. I'm not even fucking kidding, the principal of the next school I went to took one look at my file, made a face like "what the fuck?", said something along the lines of "this can't be right" and tossed the entire thing into the trash can in front of me. I never had a single day of detention after that. Edit: And before anyone questions it, yes, I actually would've done it right there in the classroom.

And anyone can just come in, go into a stall, and do their stuff. I'm guessing what happened with her experience was he used a urinal? Where as his back would have been to her and she wouldnt have seen anything, only heard. That or he went into a stall.

16:58 they honestly most likely meant a "family bathroom" which tends to have multipe stalls, sometimes urinals as well, and multipe baby changing areas (at least in my area) The signs on the door show the standard woman, man, anbd wheelchair design, though they sometimes also show the man and woman holding a child's hand. Gender neutral as well - yes - so the wording there isn't wrong. However if you're in a family restroom you kinda have to expect that a man is most likely going to walk in as well, especially if it's the only bathroom, or only empty bathroom.

as a not-so-fun fact, I read the rules and stuff of my school to see how they treat neurodivergent people and guess what? they get correctly treated only when writing exams (I think during our school you write 5 exams) do you know what that means? let me tell you my classmate has dyslexia we had a task during the english class to describe our favourite dish since he has dyslexia, he messed up a little bit in spelling, the whole thing was still readable and grammatically correct the teacher pointed out how many mistakes he made, the classmate said that it's because he has dyslexia the teacher acknowledged it, but still treated him as a non dyslexic person, saying that he gets a bigger mistake margin only during exams I'm hope that it would be different if he brought some document from a doctor that would force the teachers to treat him right

The Titanic is over 3700 meters or over 12 000 feet down. A narwhal can't go that deep. 4) A creature that's had thousands of years to evolve and adapt to living in the sea has evolved the ability to be 1800 meters below the surface while a creature that evolved from tree-dwelling ancestors and has continued living on land for those same thousands of years *cannot breathe through a tube* one meter below the surface of a pool because of the water pressure? You don't say! (No but seriously, water pressure is great enough one single meter under water that a human is incapable of expanding their lungs to breathe in, even if they have a tube or something to breathe in air. It's crazy. Of course, narwhals are not *breathing* underwater.)

James Cameron actually has a lot of knowledge on a lot of things. Besides just the oceanography, he is also an avid archaeologist and had funded the original investigations inside the pyramids back in the late 90s early 2000s.

Granted in schools when people ask to leave the room a LOT of people just aimlessly wander the halls to cut class. And of course parents chew out the teachers for that rather than the kids so it’s annoying but reasonable why they gotta ask. A lot more rules in school have become strict. In elementary i could have had friends come on the bus with me home who weren’t on my bus. Now I’m not allowed off at a different stop (bus stops btw are like genuinely a 30 second walk from each other). This is because some kid got off at the wrong stop and the bus drivers got in trouble. Basically because parents blame teachers for things their children do, it forces to the teachers to have to be more strict or for school rules to be more strict. Really annoying.

To be fair to the guy who didn't know what tampons were for.

(If you read all this, thank you) There are a lot of parents that are trying to balance work and family, especially parents of a newborn, and with America being as stingy as they are and not giving a shit about new parents, there is going to be some slip ups. I live in Australia, where we don't really have to worry too much about if our job is still there after maternity leave. Not too long ago, in a street around the corner to mine, a mother had gone out, with her kids, I'm not sure of their age but I know that there were 2 or 3 in the car, anyway, this mother had a bit of a party and had come home, left her children in the car, went inside and slept for a good while. Those kids, unfortunately, perished because of how hot it was at the time. I honestly, wholeheartedly believe that the mother was completely aware of her children being in the back regardless if she was stupidly drunk or not. A little more recently, I was out shopping at my local shopping centre when I had a mother in tears come up and ask me if I had seen her son. She was absolutely distraught and panicking, I hadn't seen her son, but I went ahead and helped her find him. She had fallen asleep on the lounge unintentionally. She dozed off because of sleep deprivation and when she woke, she wasn't able to find her son and noticed the front door was open. She said her little boy knows the area and might have wandered down to the shopping centre. I had grabbed security and went store to store to find him, and she received a call from someone she knows and was told they found him by a police station a little ways uo the road. I told her it was going to be okay and she wrapped me up in a hug. I honestly could feel myself through her. Last year, my eldest and I were headed home when we spotted a dog that gotten away from its home, and myself and my daughter had given chase in an attempt to pick him up and get him to the vet to find its owner. The little dog had jumped into a small creak not too far from where we were, and another woman and myself got into the creak and got him out. I took my shoes off before getting into the creak, which was a huge mistake, and as I was trying to get out, I felt a scratch on the bottom of my foot, and didn't think much of it until I looked down and seen quite a bit of blood streaming out of my foot. In a panic, I told my daughter to go get help from our doctor as he was at the shopping centre nearby and she knew where to go. She took off to get him and I managed to get myself out, still kind of panicking. I got to the shopping centre and had asked some employees if they had seen my daughter, at this point my mum was down here going to the doctor to see if she got there... but she wasn't there.. no one had seen her. I sat down, completely distraught that my eldest girl was now missing, and we had people and security checking everywhere for her, and I turned around and seen her walking with a person and I yelled out to her, my mum ran to her and my daughter was in years and so was my mum, I can't tell you just how terrified I was when we couldn't find her and how grateful I was that we found her. When I had told her to get help, I wasn't thinking clearly, my mum, my daughter, and I, we're all autistic, with my eldest being lower on the spectrum than myself and my mother, and I had made a mistake by sending her off to get help. I've had constant nightmares about it and dreams about how it mightve gone if I didn't tell her to go. Anyway this entire comment went right off track. Tl;dr: a great number of mothers aren't leaving their kids in the car deliberately, they may need someone to talk to, to vent to, and a bit of help. If you're able to look after a loved ones baby for a couple of hours, while mum gets a much needed rest, please do so.
