I had heard somewhere that workers on assembly lines (in computer manufacturing plants) often have their fingerprints burned off by the chemicals of the computers—but I can’t find any article anywhere that supports this!
i’m sure it’s an issue of my google skills, as i can’t seem to find the right words that will get me any results outside of caral tunnel syndrom or how to commit crimes by burning off your fingerprints!
Can anybody point me to any links?? It would be super super appreciated!!!!So I’m not sure if this helps or not but I’ve found that the very conditions pro-globalization/freemarketcapitalist “people” deny labor suffers under – a cornucopia of gross abuses - are often freely admitted when they want to use those very same conditions to either frame labor classes as inherently criminal by using them as motives for offending or they want to explain why a labor class is extra scary cause they are hard to police which legitimates bringing the boot down harder ‘pon them. Therefore when looking for what ‘the man’ actually knows about the folks there is a treasure trove to be found in how they intersect labor with criminality/state security – basically everything they wont include when the intersect labor with human rights, health/safety, collective bargaining rights, or economic theories Factory and agricultural workers are known to have adulterated fingerprints in criminological circles because it’s been used to stoke the fires of homeland security paranoia and construct the scary super-terrorist monolith – as such the industries that service fear of crime based governance sell facial id and other high tech high $$$ security systems and extensively cite the damaged fingerprints of the global south’s labor class as a security risk that they provide a “solution” to. However if it’s framed as any kind of rights issue for any labor anywhere it poof ceases to exists. I wish i had time to give you a fleshed out research trail cause i have one in my archives but this might get you pointed in a slightly different direction…more later http://www.dol.gov/ilab/media/reports/iclp/sweat5/chap2.htm http://www.vayamart.com/face-attendance-system.htm http://www.pspsecurity.com/technology3.php http://www.cama-bio.com/en/view_product.asp?id=325 http://books.google.com/books?id=s6WtnXZHRgUC&pg=PA236&lpg=PA236&dq=factory+labor+with+damaged+fingerprints&source=bl&ots=VrQB4r61sk&sig=HGePQHFoZftXEKbI_xZgXAH9JnA&hl=en&sa=X&ei=7sHDT_GtE5OC8ASamPGbCw&ved=0CFAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=damaged%20fingerprints&f=false
For the linkophobes.
“I’d hit it”? what the hell does that even mean?
…lol.
laughing forever
Nigga is yo gonna beat up the sandwich.

This was an ad campaign McDonald’s had in 2005. They immediately pulled it.
They didn’t even bother checking urbandictionary for the fucking meaning X’D.
But talks about how McDonalds and other companies uses black culture to sell to white people made me think of this. I really didn’t think before that this ad was aimed towards white people — I assumed McDonalds was just trying to target black people with their ads. But they try to look “hip” to white people.
Which, lol makes it even more horrible and hilarious.
I was about to say because I mean.
I constantly say “I’d hit ____ food” in the same way, but I know that’s just like…me extrapolating the meaning.
But from this, it was like…I don’t think they looked that up before they wrote it xD
One group, the Hindu American Foundation, has launched a “Take Back Yoga” campaign to address what they see as a fundamental disconnect between yoga and Hinduism.
Sheetal Shah, senior director at the foundation, says the group started the campaign when it noticed that while “Vedic,” “tantric” and many other words appeared regularly in yoga magazines, the word “Hindu” was never mentioned.
So, the foundation called up one of the country’s most popular magazines to ask why.
“They said the word ‘Hinduism’ has a lot of baggage,” Shah says. “And we were like, ‘Excuse me?’ “
Shah says she understands why some people have a problem with linking yoga and Hinduism. Many American practitioners associate the practice with something pure and serene, she says. But when they think of Hinduism, she says, they think of “multiple gods, with multiple heads and multiple arms. Colorful [and] ritualistic.”
It may be difficult for people to see how these things fit together, Shah says.
With the Take Back Yoga campaign, the Hindu American Foundation is hoping for broader acknowledgment that yoga has Hindu philosophical roots — while also emphasizing that it is universal and appropriate for everyone.
“What we’re trying to say is that the holistic practice of yoga goes beyond just a couple of asanas [postures] on a mat. It is a lifestyle, and it’s a philosophy,” Shah says.
“How do you lead your life in terms of truthfulness? And nonviolence? And purity? The lifestyle aspect of yoga,” Shah says, “has been lost.”

To Some Hindus, Modern Yoga Has Lost Its Way (via love-resist) I’m so happy to see this and I fully support them. I stopped doing yoga — as much as it was benefitting me physically — because it started feeling really disrespectful to just be using it for exercise when I knew it was part of a serious, longstanding spiritual tradition. (via queerbrownxx) I’ve been wanting to explore Tantric massage and Tantric sex for a while, but I want to do that in a way that doesn’t line the pockets of suburban White women appropriating these practices for their own material gain. Unfortunately, there are way more such women than there are, y’know, INDIAN women who are doing it. If there were a lesbian/women-loving-women Tantric massage group run by Indian women here in NYC, I’d go in a heartbeat. (via eshusplayground) |
