Depends on how you define disability, and how “severe” case if autism someone has. If someone is incapable of taking care of themselves, that’s definitely a disability by most metrics. Having trouble and needing some support to manage everyday life? Can be counted as disability, in some instances not. Having trouble, but not needing that much support? I’ve seen this both counted and not counted as disability

a lot of gamers categorically refuse to buy a game in early access and wait for the 1.0 release for the “full experience”

I refuse to buy early access games just because if they sell enough, the devs won’t complete the game and it’ll be stuck in the “10 years in development” -phase

I’ve always assumed it’s because clowns can fall into uncanny valley for some people

I always see this argument, but honestly - if the government is already corrupt, what else can you do to change things? Sure it can go wrong, but these things happen when enough people see no other options for things to even have a chance to get better

I think it’s very human to react with “oh now you care”, but being realistic - what’s the alternative for accepting their change of mind? These people won’t just stop existing and there’s already so many of them. Getting as many as possible to change is so much better than becoming like them and wanting to erase everyone in the wrong or some crazy shit.

No matter how hard it is, we kinda have to welcome them, because only that way anyone that might still be persuaded can see it is in fact possible to change their mind, that they won’t just be fully abandoned from society when their “own” turn on them. It is hard enough to admit you were wrong, but us being smug about it doesn’t exactly lower the bar. Of course it’s fucking difficult considering all the shit assholes of these types say and do, but again… what else can we do if we genuinely want to better the world?

Well, a lot of people literally cannot even upgrade. Most likely lack the technical skills to install it on computers that don’t meet the requirements, and a lot won’t (or can’t even afford to) buy a new machine to replace their perfectly working ones just so they could switch operating systems to a shittier one

Yeah, I’m asexual yet I still look at people’s tits and asses. I don’t feel any attraction, I’m not really aesthetically pleased by seeing them nor will I get aroused, but you are socially conditioned to check others or it is very much biological (or both).

I’m just fun at parties like this :)

I’ve clearly had too many canines as family members since I immediately just imagined the sad puppy eyes they give you after not getting any treats for like five minutes, instead of understanding what was implied

Always fun to bring serious subjects into meme discussions!!

Honestly it’s not like I gorge myself on steaks either, I’m usually eating fish and poultry because those digest better. I’d gladly be vegetarian even, but vegetables and beans sadly digest even worse than red meat does, so that’s off the table. Health issues around food is just generally a subject that’s often forgotten, and that doesn’t benefit a lot of people

I need all meat to be over-cooked if I want to eat it, because I have intestinal issues and if it’s too raw I can’t digest it as well. Also causes terrible pain and all that. I don’t have enough piping left to suffer from diarrhea the same way anymore, but getting dehydrated and having to empty the stoma bag three times in an hour isn’t much fun either. It also might be a texture issue; raw meat is more slimy and that can be a big no to some people… etc.

The point being, even if you don’t respect personal tastes, there’s always people that will need the meat to be well-done to be able to actually eat it. And most people probably don’t want to openly admit it if they get violent diarrhea from it being slightly raw

What should she do?

Obviously as she promised, it doesn’t matter what happens after that. Promises are made to be kept, don’t make them unless you keep them. Only good reasons I can think of for breaking a promise would be something like if you were lied to when making that promise, or saving lives or maybe prevent nature destruction etc. Old dude changing his mind isn’t a proper reason; if he feels like he was young and stupid back then, that’s his problem

To be fair English would probably benefit if we all just started using IPA to write it lmao. Using þ hardly causes any confusion compared to other issues with understanding how English is written and spoken

It never stops surprising me how eager some people are to become meat crayons

And that’s completely fine, something like that is just a matter of taste anyway. But trying to smear his reputation and spread false shit about him just because someone doesn’t like him? That’s not cool at all - and even worse if it’s just because he’s not a hateful piece of shit!

Also fuck JK Rowling, that terf bastard deserves nothing but a kick to the shin.

Also the culture that causes toxic masculinity in first place needs to change, any amount of therapy alone won’t fix the situation. Treating it only as a personal problem is like treating symptoms of a plague but leaving it rampant. But how to nuke the idiocy on a cultural level…? Things seem to have even taken a turn for the worse lately…

The biggest group affected are most likely ciswomen, since people love to control how women look and act, and there’s just way, way less transwomen in the toilets. Meaning the most commonly happening effect of these crazy bathroom laws is basically punishing ciswomen for not looking feminine enough

Everything about that is just fucking awful. And who even makes a toilet with no stalls?! Do men not need to shit? Wtf
