/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
The only reason it’s possible in voice acting is because actors have unions. I’d see nothing wrong with other labor unions demanding that studios hire minorities to write, design, and animate too
We should be expanding the standard, not tearing it down.
How is that true in a way different from other industries?
It is the same in other industries, the dominant race always has better employment opportunities. It’s not really specific to voice acting.
At least in VA we are able to actually force companies to hire minorities.
The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter
This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won’t hire other races.
Central authority is a tool. In different hands it does different things, but if you disarm yourself you’ll lose.
If you do not choose your leaders they will choose themselves. We tried the whole leaderless, decentralized anti-authority thing throughout the 2010s. At best you might be able to collapse the central authority of the currently existing government regime, but what comes after that is always much much worse: civil war, invasion, or an even more repressive government regime. But, more likely, the movement will just collapse because it lacks the structure to actually sustain itself.
We need to be centralized and we need to be ready to assert our authority when the old one is destroyed, or we will lose.
Imagine believing you can defeat capitalism without central authority.
The end of the US empire.
You could dab it with a little paint or glue or something.
It helps when you reframe math as a puzzle, because then it becomes a game. It’s not interesting unless you make it interesting.
“New Math” kind of tries to do this, although then you run into the problem of parents being unable to help their kids with homework.
That makes sense, but it’s still strange because it means in the case of a fire the entire building has to be treated the same anyway because there is something in the building that reacts with water even if its separate.
I guess it is helpful to indicate that there are multiple substances that have different reaction profiles, but it still seems strange to me.
The reason for listing them separately is because each individual chemical has its own ratings. You can’t simply take the highest of each and combine them into a single sign. For instance, in this case one chemical isn’t flammable but is explosive when heated. The other chemical is flammable but not explosive. So if you see a chemical on fire, you know it’s the second chemical and isn’t explosive. But if you see something that isn’t burning in a room full of fire, you know it’s a potential powder keg waiting to explode.
Okay, so the two signs on the building have a weird combination.
The sign on the left indicates something that isn’t flammable, but reacts with water. The sign on the right indicates something that is flammable, but there’s no risk of reacting to water. If the building caught fire then a first responder on the scene has to read both signs at the same time. They can’t spray the building with water because the non-flammable substance would react with the water.
So why aren’t the signs combined? They have to be treated the same anyway.
Sure, but I don’t think the building should have two labels. I think it should have one label that reflects a warning for everything in the building.
Imagine you have a crate with two different chemicals. The chemicals are in different bottles so they aren’t mixed, and each bottle has its own label.
Should the crate have two unidentified labels like this, or one? There’s no indication what those labels refer to on the building.
But the building, as a whole, pesents the combined risk of both chemicals.
But it’s just slapped on the side of the building with no indication of which chemicals the labels are for, I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to be done. It’d be like mixing two chemicals into a bottle and then putting two labels on it.
I think there should just be one label that combines the warning levels of both i.e. 3-2-2-W
As others have said, these are NFPA signs.
What I want to know is why there are two different ones. What the hell does that mean?
People are being sent to concentration camps.
The month tells you more about conditions like weather but that’s kinda it.
