As a guy with a prosthetic leg that walks in grocery stores. Yes, we can do awesome costumes. Yes, a lot of horrific discrimination still happens in the US to non-abled bodied and non-neurotypical peoples.

And there it is! Glad we could boil it down to your superiority over AmErIcA. Fucking nationalists.

Glad to see the rest of the world is just as fucking stupid as the majority of this country.

You challenged my response, I questioned your stupid premise and asked for actual fact, you couldn’t provide (probably due to your laziness, you’d probably fit in better here than you’d like to believe…) a single point of argument except your feelings. Learn what debate and conversation actually resemble, or don’t, you’ll fit right in with the masses.

Fuck off and get back to class, yah twat.

Bro, you haven’t even made a fucking point. Get out of here with this fucking bullshit. You obviously can’t explain much of anything outside of how you “feel” about these things. You showed your age with the “racism was non-existent”, obviously haven’t been around for too long. Never used the word extremist, but honestly it’s not bad. Yeah, every country has them.

Do me a favor, and try to only reply to comments where you actually have a fucking point. You’re gumming up the works for the people looking to have actual discussions.

Fuck you.

Yeah, that’s pretty general. If you’d like to pick a country and a few example cases I’d love to actually be specific. Burden of proof on the prosecution? Can I just say my neighbor said racist shit and they go to jail? Context? Set list of phrases/words? Past precedent and public opinion? Warnings vs fines? Etc?

Pretty sure a lot of these places let a lot of questionable people gather and say a lot of questionable shit publicly without any consequence. Not just the US.

I’d love a list of examples by country and their specificities? If not it just feels like you’re saying, “your free speech is too free”?

From my understanding, and please, someone correct me:

Hate speech has to be tied to a crime. If you knock someone’s mailbox over it’s destruction of property, if you do it while yelling a racist phrase at the person then it may be considered a hate crime which depending on the state can carry additional, often heavier punishment. Racism isn’t illegal, just bad taste.

As far as American free speech is concerned, outside of inciting violence or injury (rallys that turn violent, yelling fire in a movie theater) you can pretty much say whatever the fuck you want… Unless it’s towards a corporation or rich person who can sue you into the floor for years debating your use of “satire, irony, fantasy, parody” if they kinda choose to. Legal system is beyond fucked, and with all the deep fake shit coming and going it’s most likely give more power to these kinda cases. Also, it feels like there’s a rise both legally and socially for thought crimes. A whole new bag of fun.

Edit: Obviously, threatening someone with violence is indeed illegal. Can’t tell folks you’re going to kill them.

Fucking love this comment. If only we could charge people for being ignorant, or willfully dumb, or just racist. Amazing how folks wanna throw their individual right to free speech away instead of holding “news” corporations accountable. One is much easier to do and has actual precedent, the other being a collapse of our democracy.

I guess one could retort with, “You’re right, but ending of your opening statement with ‘too’ has an implication of a previous ‘fuck, you’…” or something along the lines of, “if you find my tone hostile maybe you’re oblivious to your own ableist views and how rampant of an issue it is.” Or possibly “why the fuck do you find the word fuck so offensive you sensitive twat?”

But, maybe you’re right…in fact…you’re right. Wasting my time responding at this point, has made me a loser. And in turn, you, a winner.

You win, jerkface. Take the internet points, and have a good life. Best of luck.

Technically, I said, “Fuck your able-bodied mindset”, never said “fuck you.”

Until now, fuck you, you stupid ableist-fuck.

Oh man, what the fuck is going on in this group?

I was responding to the thread about a disabled guy on a scooter and offered a reasonable answer as to why not all disabled folks would be able to go this route easily. Especially if it can’t replace their current means of transportation, and costs THE FUCKING SAME IF NOT MORE.

Yes, I want easily accessible transit. Yes, I hate the idea of everyone needing a fucking car to do anything. Yes, I believe it is the duty of the municipality to create efficient and non discriminating means of transport.

The shit I’m responding to, is the capitalist fix to disabled movement. Anything thats made for people with “different” bodies, is going to be like 5x the price of a normal thing and probably still the quality of the lowest tiered object out there. (Hand pedal bikes being the prime example.)

Fuck. I knew the fuck cars group would have some ignorant able-bodied ideals, but this shit is getting silly.

Of course it is…mostly because you can use it no matter the weather outside…and you can use it to travel much further distances… do I really need to explain why a car is a car and why cars are more expensive? But, I can find a used car cheaper than I’ve found used/new hand pedal bikes…

Can’t imagine spending 5k on something that can’t be my main mode of transport…

So, fuck your able-bodied mindset?

Yeah, the $2-10k entrance fee is the fucked part.

Source: Am disabled, can’t ride a bike or scooter, do require the use of crutch or cane, kinda hate this post.

Well, its actually 2 options. It’s phrased to do all three things, “OR” the weed. So…you’re wrong. Nothing like a technicality.

Oh God, the DAC guy… If it has enough power to make the cans go boom, then its fine… thats why we invest in cans.

Wireless is not always the answer, and people are sick of fucking dongles.

As someone who works in a real world enviorment utilizing years of very expensive legacy hardware, this whole, “get it down to a single USB c and buy a hub/dock” shtick is getting old. These ports just can’t disappear without causing major chaos. It’s a nice thought, but its not realistic.

Hyrdroxyzine for the win. Cut my coffee intake and I’ve been much better lately about my weed and anxiety combo. Best of luck.

Back home we had a local station, felt like a way of tuning into “the city.” Very few breaks outside of their pledge drives once/twice a year. Listening to the Jazz station here on short drives these days. Very few ads, and some pretty gnarly shit. College radio stations are also pretty easy to find and escape that ad insanity.

Don’t let radio and broadcast TV die quite yet, it’s still very viable, especially as we sort out net neutrality and failsafe systems in cases of emergency.
