  • ‘Privileged’ isn’t something that you either are or aren’t, and it’s not productive to blanket state some are privileged and some aren’t.

    Example: I’m queer and white. I have white privilege, but some people have straight privilege over me.

    Every human suffers. Some people who objectively have more privilege than most will read something like this and think they can’t be part of ‘the privileged’ because they’ve suffered or they’ve had to work for things others were just handed, so therefore, they’re ‘the non-privileged’, and if they can handle it, the other non-privileged can, too.

    Take, for example, many non-college-educated people in their 50s or 60s who managed to safe up for a house through hard work, and now think the young or immigrants are lazy because ‘if I managed it through hard work, why can’t they?’

    The way the last comment frames it as ‘the privileged’ precisely plays into the problem it’s addressing.

    My demi experience: yeah sure I enjoy that. I enjoy gaming too. Either is nice to have, but if I can’t do it for a year, I won’t be thinking about it that much, ya know? I was shocked to find out how much people think about sex, and particularly shocked that they’ll see a stranger, acquaintance or friend and literally feel a desire to have sex with them? Like, how many people have imagined they’re having sex with me? Ew. Don’t do that to me.




  • The wavelength of the light both influences what materials they penetrate and at what angle they get scattered. Can’t speak for this particular material, but UV has a smaller wavelength than visible light, which gives it a smaller scattering angle. So it gets scattered more all over the place and makes it around little corners more easily. And you’ll never be able to tell whether or not it was dangerous because you can’t sense UV in any way.
