Disability will have you thinking shit like “I’m not even that disabled. I can manage as long as I limit myself to very specific careers, never go shopping for more than an hour or two at a time, keep my plans open so I can cancel and stay in if need be, and only go out a few nights per week at the most”

“Where do I stand on the – on the WHAT? The “Transgender Question”? Well for one thing, sir, I recall the last few usages of that particular phraseology. A group of millions is not a question – I have not yet finished speaking – not a question, but a demographic.“

“The Romans had their castrated priestesses, the Hindus their Hijras, but my god, let us take to the barricades because Uncle Al came to Thanksgiving in a skirt and pantyhose! It’s the province of rubes. Hayseed reactionaries and the worst effluvia of America’s suburban colon.”

“And Chapelle! My god, Chapelle. Embarrassing as only a true great can become in his declining years – I speak here with complete self-awareness; kindly hold your barbs – as he tires of innovation and falls back into the soporific cushion of the lowest common denominator!”

“One joke stretched until you can hear its joints popping like some poor bastard broken on the rack. “Oh my car has pronouns, I identify as a bird, I’m trans-Chinese.” The laziness of it – shameful. You should see the transgendered roast themselves; there’s true scorched earth.“

Insurance companies have actuarial charts that tell you how valuable a specific life is and how much a company could feasibly be sued for over the life of say a Fortune 500 CEO, a janitor, and a PhD candidate. It’s. Gruesome and morbid and real fucked up.

comment on a video about boeing saying something more people should be aware of: corporations do a cost-benefit analysis on human life regularly. lack of serious consequence for corporate negligence will always result in that analysis determining the deaths are worth the profit.

I think a cocaine addiction is more ethical than owning four homes in the new york metro area.

i have an overwhelming amount of hatred for autism research because all they fucking care about is finding out the "cause" of autism. i am so sick and tired of having to educate every single professional I encounter about the barest basics of my disability I am TIRED.

Someone please just do a study that's like "Sensory overload is a thing for autism and it has these effects! This is how long it can take to recover! This is the kinds of things that can set it off! This is how it affects the ability to function!" Please please please I am tired of trying to explain to people that sensory overload doesn't immediately stop when the stimulus is removed and that seriously overextending my processing of stimuli will take multiple days to recover from.

Neurotypical folks don't have any intuitive sense of what things will cause sensory overload and a limited concept that this is different for every autistic person. Why is there no recognition of the need in research to define the scope and variety of autistic people's struggles so clinicians can actually help them.

No, the researchers are too busy studying social behavior in fucking zebrafish to discover the "autism gene." Autism speaks and its ilk can die in a fire

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

I have just realised that "nobody wants to work any more" is true, but the 'nobody' in this case is large companies.

They don't want to do any of the things which aren't absolutely essential to getting a product slapped together and shoved out the door so they can get your money. They don't want to do testing, write documentation, train their staff, provide support, give a good customer experience, none of it. Anything they can automate, or farm out to third parties, even if the results are terrible, they will. Because it's cheaper and all they care about is making the number go up.

Usually there is a way to contact support/customer service (eventually) but when you do, they can't actually help due to having not had sufficient training to know anything and not having the ability to escalate anything. All most of them can do is read the meaningless blather off the company's web site for you.

But more and more they just don't provide any way to contact them. There's no law which says they have to, is there?

And what else are you going to do, go with a competitor? Even if a viable competitor exists, they're all the same.

Go without the thing? Good luck with that, a lot of this stuff has become essential to modern life.

I mean none of that is new information, it's just that I hadn't thought of it in those terms before.

it's wild to me that people act as if chani's primary reason for leaving paul was bitterness about being a concubine like girl..... i promise that did not even register in her brain compared to the realization that paul had chosen to become her people's oppressor, to become her oppressor, to destroy the equality that was very foundation of their relationship. i promise her agency and her loyalty to her people, things which existed before paul and will exist after him, were more important to her than how "official" her relationship would be considered within a system she did not care about.
