    What Type of Vampire are You?

    The new expansion of the Sims4 comes January 24th. The questionnaire: What Type of Vampire are You https://www.thesims.com/quizzes/what-kind-of-vampire-are-you/questions/question1 I received You got: Noble Vampire You may be accustomed to the finer things in life, but coming from an old-world, you are a bit out of touch with society (with hoarding tendencies). Watching a little modern-day TV might be good for you. Will you dare? Will you take the test? Do you dare discover... what type of vampire are you?

    Social Experiment Topic

    The problem is, it's not really about gender, it's about appearance (which is still wrong). Most people are tribalistic in nature. They will seek out people who are like them or make them feel comfortable. Step one is be attractive and step two is don't not be attractive. If someone is trans and passable (to the point where the interviewer can't even tell) then they're getting the job. Likewise there are also rules about, no piercings, no tattoos, nice clothes (either from a t-shirt and jeans to a full on suit depending on if one is cleaning tables or a CEO). The difference is you can't sue over these rules. That said I imagine it's still super hard for trans people to find work. This also depends on skill level too (where if you have enough skills it doesn't matter what you look like as they'll deal with you because you're the best option.) But they still don't want you interacting with the public at all. With trans people it's because people think "oh it's a guy in women's clothes and that makes me feel weird" and that not only will they get less sales but that people will go shop elsewhere in order to avoid seeing them. We are super lucky to live in such a liberal area as this. We at least have a few opportunities here, and things are only getting better/more accepting. In some other more rural areas... well good fucking luck. Shit, in at least one state just being able to use the fucking bathroom is an issue (and another state is trying to pass similar legislation.) To me, it all comes back to companies should hire those who are most qualified, period. The best person for the job should do that job no matter who they are or what they look like.

    Lefties

    Was about to upvote but hufpo is crap. Anyway I'm slightly ambidextrous myself. I only write with my right hand, which probably looks like how you wright with your right hand but it's still better than my left. Although for shooting pool I've always shot left handed (left arm on the back, right arm on the front.) Admittedly that was partly by mistake because I probably thought it was just a gigantic pencil but doing it the other way just feels weird now. I've also always pissed with my left hand, although that might be a bit TMI. Not sure if it was learned behavior or instinct. I shoot left handed though because I'm left eye dominant. I'll switch it up and shoot with either though but I prefer the left eye, even if this is a thing: I personally know two other people who shoot left handed as well. One of them started a business called South Paw Draw for that reason. I like that the Glock Gen 4 has the ability to switch the mag release to the right side. They probably make slides that will eject to the left as well, but I haven't seen them. Anyway that's partly the reason for the safety glasses (other than the possibility of a round hitting another round and blowing up in what is or was your hand.)
