They basically showed how authoritarian they are by banning (and later unbanning) a bunch of porn and Elon Musk critical subreddits as well as some transgender and disability related ones.

If Trump cuts social security, it’s euthanasia for me. I’m too disabled to care for myself and prefer killing myself than starving in the streets.

My mother who does not know how to distinguish between science and pseudoscience:

It’s clearly your mitochondria creating less energy because your brain tells them to not do anything because you are lazy. You need to try. I saw an instagram reel about it!

(I have a known lifelong immune illness which greatly restricts my energy capacity but my mum says I’m not “being positive”)

Yes, My friend,

When I was homeless,

I had “chosen” to be disabled,

“chosen” to live in a country where applying for benefits takes years,

“chosen” to live in a country where healthcare costs weren’t covered after I lost my job,

“chosen” to live in a country where the landlord’s profit was more important than my survival.

The monitor we own is ancient and 720p so were good ahah

Well when you have a lifelong illness, it gets tiring real fast.

Imagine telling someone with an amputated arm “get better soon”. Same situation with telling someone with an incurable lifelong disease.

Aquired. I was actually a math student at one of the top 5 universuties in the world before I got struck down. I was engaged too. I had everything, and then nothing… I’ve been pretty good at adapting to the new life. After a couple months of feeling sad I was able to make the best of it. But sometimes the physical pain and fact that there is almost no chance I ever get better hits hard.

I did go to public school though but skipped a couple years ahah.

As someone with an aquired disability, The thing that hurt the most about others is them being overly positive. Like them saying I’ll get better when I’m almost certain not too, or them acting like my disability is a phase that will pass. I imagine they did it of good faith. But to me it’s denying who I am as a person, my struggles, and my pain, acting like it doesn’t really exist. It almost felt like a coping mechanism more for them than for me.

Thanks for your answer by the way.

Due to my memory problems I don’t remember most of what I read for long. But I really enjoyed a deep dive into learning about purpoises the other day. If you’re ever bored, or want to get through a commute, reading random wikipedia pages and seeing where the links take you is quite enjoyable in my opinion.

I’m deaf and mute. I was focusing on Manifold Learning but due to neurocognitive deficits I’m unable to continue with math. I’m able to use my phone and communicate sometimes but most of the time I’m only able to be alone with my thoughts. But I do enjoy watching some repetitive shows when my condition permits (animated sitcoms tend to be the easiest to follow with my cognitive problems).

Though what I spend most of the time I’m able to go on my phone is endlessly scrolling through wikipedia and learning new things, it’s what really excites me.

Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Thanks.

While the daily beast is a fun read, it’s hard to make out where they exaggerate and dramatify things

Proud cat lady here

Is there a way to filter gifs or somethinf. This nearly gave me an epileptic seizure

Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.

I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.

This isn’t even bronze age bruh some primitive societies had women who specialised into certain tasks not have children for various reasons. Or even for paganist (religious) reasons.

Preferred to the original.

But real thing should be. Vote, it won’t change much, but it’s a start. If you truly believe in change, you should be doing much more, but never let go of the right to vote.

Crying and laughning simultaneously as I apply for a visa to leave this, as our facist overlord would say, “shithole country”

Thanks for the offer it’s really kind but I have everything I need with public torrents.

Could you explain what this is? A torrent aggregator?

I was using torrent galaxy.

I was liking you until I saw this meme. I was about to subscribe to anaval.

I’m an anarchist and think we should seek to destroy the state. I also think it matters that while the state exists we should make it so that the least people possible suffer. By not voting, you are contributing to immense suffering.
