Why is the United States so far behind? It’s time to #raisethewage

We’re that far behind because widespread poverty is highly profitable to the affluent and powerful.

wtf I just googled the US minimum wage and it’s equivalent to £4.68 that’s pretty fucking criminal

Actually in California you need to work at 80+ hrs/wk to afford rent on minimum wage.

That ‘50 hrs/wk’ is outdated, and not the average at all.

25% of the people have a 4th cone and see colors as they are

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.

The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy
different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is
trichromat.

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a
tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue,
green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color
will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is
tetrachromat.

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are
making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and
probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway
🙂

It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th
cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter
the background light 😉

I see 21 colors. I had no idea there are so many more.

34. I have most my issues differentiating blues and purples! I have 0 yellow shirts except for my lannister pale yellow. I wasn’t messed up by that dress thing.

35, but I counted very carefully and gave myself time to differentiate.  And I am guilty as charged on the ‘irritated by yellow’ thing – I had no idea there was an actual physiological reason for it!

i saw 36 xD

Decided to count before reading, I ended up with 39 when discounting the ones with “image error lines.” If i can call em that. I’m sure some people notice them and probably count them as well ending up with more than 39.

This one is clean.


They did this mixer thing where everytime the guy said switch they were supposed to pull someone not dancing onto the floor. So I ended up being pulled near the end and I felt like I couldn’t breathe I was so wound up. No wonder I can’t make friends if I panic when people actually pay any attention.
I was hoping to run into someone I met and danced with last year but it was a bit of a long shot that even if they had showed that I would recognize them…

(I don’t know how to do a read more on mobile so pretend there’s a read more)

[[more]]

Ikr? I see groups of friends playing games or chatting or dancing or singing karaoke together and it always makes me want to cry…
I really did try to put myself out there and meet people and make friends… Went to Facebook meet ups, went to a fking club party even…
Tbh I don’t even know how to start making friends. Pretty much all of my friends irl are friends because there was something that made us stick together for some reason, like a class or club. I don’t know how to make myself interesting enough for people to actually try to get to know me. Maybe if I was pretty… Like not even concerning weight, nearly every ‘overweight’ person here looks amazing and interesting and have friends… Like how do I be pretty? It’s really upsetting…

Omg they’re playing that new Fairy Tail opening at this ball The one that goes like ‘masa time hero’. Can’t remember the title.

I did already know they played anime and game music but that was not one I expected.

So many beautiful people at the ball. I’m too shy to ask for dances, so I’m taking pictures instead. No one has offered me a dance anyways, so no one probably wants to dance with me anyways. And it’s considered rude to refuse to dance with someone who asks so I don’t want to force anyone that doesn’t want to. Nearly everyone here came with at least one person, lots have whole groups they came with. Wish I had con friends… I have two people i know from anime club who I got a ride here with but we aren’t very close.
I’ll be ok with just the pictures.
