I donated! Great job, and I really appreciate your work.

I wanted to text “here’s your award”, but then I remembered we don’t have awards.

So here is your “hey, that was a great comment! I laughed and it made my day a bit better”- word-award :)

I would urge people to be careful how much we think disabled people (might) suffer. My mom is colorblind (she sees the whole world in shades of white or black), and her vision strength is 5% or lower. She is definitely disabled and receives a pension for not being able to work. Still, she managed to build up some form of existence: she managed to start an education and became a masseuse, and she gave birth to me and my brother. If my grandma would’ve known that my mom will not be able to live on her own, she maybe wouldn’t have proceeded with the pregnancy. Then I wouldn’t be here either.

My conclusion: what do you define by disability? If it is a chronic disease which means your child will be in pain their whole life, it is very different than having a child who isn’t able to “function” normally, but isn’t inherently in pain. Over my mom I met a lot of other disabled people, and most of them have built up an existence and lead a life. My mom wouldn’t agree that she is forced to suffer her whole life.

No one is forced to bear out a child. You are not morally responsible to bear out a child, in my opinion. But we shouldn’t assume we know how this person will grow and develop during their lives.

I recognize Warband in the first picture… I think I need to fire it up again.

I really like your post and the changes! Obviously it is a very divisive and polarized event. In my opinion, the lines you have drawn help in creating a productive discussion environment. I am very happy to have an admin team who can deal so well with this situation - thank you for your work and this post! I sincerely appreciate it.

Welcome to the Internet

Ah, now I get why you liked the post ;) Thanks for updating!

I fear my screenshot is not that great :/

Ah, I just today in the morning blocked Lemmy.ml. Seems to have been interesting timing :)

You’re amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I think they forgot to mention ads

Thank you for the correction! I meant origin and forgot to write it :)

Or imagine installing uBlock Origin and not seeing ads at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YouTube really promoted uBlock more than uBlock could even promote itself

You just provided the science tech path for the Civilization games

Congrats for getting the most downvotes on Lemmy I’ve ever seen. Which you absolutely deserve by the way, in my opinion.

That is actually impressively dumb

Like seriously, I think he really really put effort into being dumb here. You can’t be just randomly that ignorant here, I think

Isn’t that kinda satire?

Okay, this thread escalated quickly

That’s enough internet for today

Me too!
