wikipedia posted:The chemical reaction that occurs when plaster is mixed with water is exothermic. When plaster sets, it can reach temperatures of more than 60 °C and, in large volumes, can burn the skin. In January 2007, a secondary school student in Lincolnshire, England sustained third-degree burns after encasing her hands in a bucket of plaster as part of a school art project. The burns were so severe she required amputation of both her thumbs and six of her fingers.

Samovar posted:Examples of him turning his own supporters against him? At one point during the lead up to the plebiscite, he stated that children of gay couples are a stolen generation. The Stolen Generation is one of the worst abuses of the Indigenous Australian population where children were seperated from their families so that they could be made more white. So when he made this statement and stated that a shitload of Australian churches were on his side, the vast majority of the ones that he stated were on his side publicly stated that they supported SSM and that they had never stated to Shelton that they supported him. You know, sorta like what's happening with Roy Moore where he forged letters of support.

If you haven't seen the patreon charging changes yet, they're going to start charging pledgers 2.5% + 35 cents PER PLEDGE, meaning if you're like a lot of people who pledge on patreon you do a lot of $1-5 pledges each month. Each of those gets charged that service fee in this change. Twitter is currently making GBS threads all over this news

AlmightyBob posted:They timed this right as competitors like drip are starting up It was discussed on the ICT, but I'm not convinced that drip is anything but one of those "we're taking on Facebook" things you hear every once in a while, with the likely fate of every one of those "we're taking on YouTube" things you hear about. The schadenfreude for content creators, my guess is, is that most people are tied into Patreon as their crowdfunding site, and will care a whole hell of a lot less than the Twitter crowd will.

I follow and support some artists, and a youtuber (Dan Hardcastle, otherwise known as NerdCubed.) All of them that I check their twitter, they're just as peeved about this. Since, as mentioned, a lot of folk back at the $1-5 level. They're not much individually, but they add up.

Basically patreon is doing 2 things. they're moving the Credit Card processing fee to the patrons, rather than taking it out of the cut that the artists get. and they're making it so rather than getting a single lump sum charge at the end of the month for all of the accounts you're patroning, they charge you individually for each on the anniversary of your subscription. With just the first change, it wouldn't be that bad, but with both changes it increases the cost to patrons by 30% and increases Patreons take by over 100%. They're trying to spin this as a good thing to both the creators and patrons. No one's having any of it and hundreds of people are unsubscribing, lots of people are losing tons of income.

Patreon can call it a “credit card processing fee” but it’s really not. Patreon batches their charges. Visa or whoever isn’t actually charging Patreon 35¢ per subscription because they’re not running them as separate transactions.

Testekill posted:Stolen Generation Seriously, does every single former British Colony have a period of time like this? Where the natives weren't white enough so they were forced to be white? Because the same poo poo happened in Canada with the First Nations folks and residential schools and only now are they getting a sniff of reparations after another ole British standby, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. As bad as things are now when it comes to minorities being persecuted, we were absolute loving monsters back in the 50s right up until the 80s. And those are the days that a certain subset of individuals pine for on a daily basis. Fuuucccckkkk them.

Karate Bastard posted:Elaborate please? About 70 years ago Denmark shipped a couple of native kids from Greenland to Denmark for an experiment with the intended goal of eradicating the population of their culture and language so the entire population could blend into Danish society. They didn't take it any further because the kids got hosed up and half of them died really young. It's not large scaled but it's still there and we only just apologized a like 2 of years ago. And I haven't heard a lot of good things about the way the Sami people have been treated in that regard either.

I visited Tibet a few years ago and it's true. The genocide seems mostly to have stopped, now they're eradicating the culture. Big new museum on 'Chinese-Tibetan History' in the middle of Lhasa full of alternative history painting China as long time allies of the Tibetan people. Beyond that, Tibetan youth now prefer Szechuan food to Tibetan, eat with Chinese utensils, and so on. It's absolutely akin to what happened in the US and I assume other parts of the world.
