Haha very fair
Haha very fair
Yeah… Well it’s easy to transplant. All you need to do is show up in comments and reproduce the culture. We all know it. Some of us are even amused or comforted by it.
Whereas building up for example a niche community takes concerted effort, mostly thankless, over years.
Still worth it ofc
I know no one cares about this, but […]
That’s where your wrong! That was a hopeful/informative/useful/entertaining post to read. Thank you for sharing.
I don’t know what my own number is, but I can definitely get sucked into my phone, especially when I’m stressed or otherwise at a loose end. It sucks when you realised you’ve been scrolling for too long (subjective) and you haven’t accomplished anything, or even enjoyed yourself, but yet you… keep… scrolling…! It’s a rotten feeling.
Congratulations to you and your girlfriend. Real great effort from both of you. You should feel very proud of your accomplishments.
It’s a form of light doomerism. You see it on reddit a lot
The a Hero of Lime…y
Someone please one up me, it can’t end like this
I was actually describing a piece of software, which is not considered a human being, and can in fact be treated differently without any legal or philosophical confusion
I mean it’s getting more academic for sure, but I think I get you - that’s one of them there intersections you were talking about (neoliberalism x ableism, maybe (to name just 2 anyway)).
EDIT thank you, that was fire. A cogent and succinct breakdown of offense vis a vis harm.
I don’t feel like I learned anything, because what I learned seems obvious (now), but if I think about my previous statements in this thread about rudeness they feel like they were made by someone else, so I guess this reading is doing something!
No you have to run them through an elaborate model first, then it’s totally legit to use someone else’s literal words as if they were your own
This resource is dropping woke bombs left and right (I’m into it). Extremely rich text.
… societal interpretations of and responses to specific differences from the normed body are what signify a dis/ability.
Not to glom onto this one pat definition, but it’s one of the many paragraphs that jumped out at me.
I still haven’t got to any part that is specifically challenging using “polite” language when speaking to disabled people about their disabilities. But with your question about why I might consider the term disabled a slur, and these links, I think I’m getting there…
EDIT: uhhhh nvm, the paragraph literally after the one I quoted goes into it, very specifically.
Some advocate for People-first language (a person living with disability), while many disability activists advocate for identity-first language (a disabled person).
Thanks for the links. I will read them. I’ll admit that my first reaction is to assume that speaking directly is rude, but I’m ready to do some unlearning.
Genuine question, because I don’t have a confidant that I can comfortably ask this to, is that the general opinion of people with disabilities?
Here’s your content, open up!
It’s my cat yawning, but it looks like he’s screaming at me (which he does do around 17h, his supper time).
Back in my day it was a desktop vs coffee table laptop debate.
I started reading books and mags while pooping. I like it. Highly recommended.
Just got to have system to make sure you don’t do anything unhygienic to your reading material. I make sure to set it down before I touch myself. I touch myself.
Hmm that is a very good description of how I use social media. Fill up unstructured downtime, or to bridge a gap between two other activities (god forbid I go thirty whole minutes without stimulation lol)
Then sometimes just hours and I come out of it feeling like total trash
Plus, voicing your opinions helps a lot to filter people (I’m struggling a lot with this though).
This is massive. “Filtering” is the perfect way to put it. If you don’t risk saying something potentially disagreeable, then no one will ever know who you are.
That goes for both repulsive and inclusive ideologies, I guess, but I definitely prefer the latter (this is an example of one of your “filtering” statements - now spectators to this conversation know I value inclusivity).
Condolences. I’ve taken to going to the coffee shop to meet my friend. Yeah it’s not free, but it’s cheap. For games, that’s a bit of a blindspot for me since I only play good games these days.
There’s a desktop application?
