Members of marginalized communities commonly experience downvote brigading from bigoted groups. It can function as a silencing tactic as well, as most clients auto hide highly downvoted comments.

I moreso meant that I think glorifying the labor of working class people in general is a good thing. Not any one particular form of labor, just all forms of labor in general. Of course all people have flaws and are imperfect, I never suggested otherwise.

I’m not a Marxist-Leninist, far from it, but I do appreciate broad strokes the art they made glorifying the labor of the working class. Even though they constantly disrespected workers and acted against their rights, they nominally fostered a culture that glorified the labor done by workers every day. I think that on the whole is a good thing. I think it’s good to show a reverence for workers of all types.

Okay, I agree with that. Your use of the word simp was a bit open to interpretation.

This is a weird take to me. Why should we not idolize and revere workers who do critical labor on which our society depends? I understand objecting to the lack of idolization for other forms of labor. But to say that you dont afford respect and admiration to workers performing any labor is odd.

I’m so glad the foss and self hosting communities have grown so large since covid. SaaS is evil incarnate and I will happily switch to foss alternatives whenever possible.

From your post its clear that you very much respect your wife and want to provide her with an equal labor marriage. I think that is what everyone should aspire to, bearing in mind some things that I think are kind of being left out here.

So I’ll dissent a bit and say, you didn’t ask to have ADHD. It is not your fault that you have a neurological disorder that makes it substantially harder for you to manage and perform these same kinds of daily tasks. Your voice throughout this post is extremely unsympathetic of yourself, and I dont think thats fair to you. ADHD isnt a choice. And as much as I think its important to aspire to an equal labor relationship, I think its also extremely important to recognize that some things are harder for us than for neurotypical people. To suggest it is entirely our fault is ableist. We can take actions to try and do more of these tasks that are harder for us, but its important to recognize that they are harder for us than for neurotypical people.

I also know from personal experiences that turning it all inwards on myself only made it harder for me to handle more daily labor. Understanding that I’m doing the best I can, and in the past I was too, made me feel much more motivated in trying to handle more.

That would be an understandable mistake if the poster hadnt literally quoted the rule they were breaking.

What community is that?

So like I said in my previous comment, no one is driven by such strong compulsion that they must sexually assault someone. Being a pedophile is not a sexual orientation it is literally a desire to commit sexual violence. If someone told me “I am so driven to commit acts of sexual violence against rhe vulnerable that I am voluntarily putting myself into a mental health facility” my first thought would be that I hope they are being involuntarily held.

Pedophilia is not a disability. No i am not being ableist by directly correlating pedophilia with rapists. They are literally obsessed with rape. They see children as a means to an end for their personal sexual gratification. I would react to someone saying they are a pedophile the same way as if someone told me they desperately want to sexually assault someone.

Being a pedophile is not a sexual orientation. It is not a sexuality.

I strongly, strongly dislike the way you are framing pedophilia. All CSA is based around the vulnerability of the victim. Child sexual abusers are aware of what they are doing. No one is driven by such strong compulsion that they must sexually assault someone. It’s exactly as evil and wrong no matter the age of their victim. All CSA is wrong. All sexual abuse is wrong.

Providing the general public with convincing text generation has been an absolute unmitigated disaster for humanity.

Did you actually read the African human rights commission link? It specifically says that there legitimate LGBT people in the area who need help. It is calling out scammers because their scams will be used to dismiss actual queer refugees who actually need help.

If you want to demand further verification you can ask moderators of this community or others to do that. You can also ask gofundme to do that. People have already done both of those things in the past and she has been verified to be a real person. To do this bizarre public condemnation ritual cause she once went to a refugee camp that has had scammers there is just wrong. It’s an extreme overgeneralization and the way youre applying your “evidence” basically works to dismiss the entire country as a scam. Which obviously isn’t true.

She isnt in Kakuma, she was in the past. Your other comment also seems to be just listing random cases of people suspected of scamming and not actual evidence about Cyara herself. Her gofundme posts the actual wire transfers themselves. She routinely posts pictures of herself and has been verified several times by other moderators. I have communicated with her over text several times about possible routes out of South Sudan to a country where her rights would be respected.

I understand the need to vet these kinds of posts. But no not every person who has been to a particular refugee camp is automatically a scammer? Like saying “This specific refugee camp has been scamming the queer community for literally years at this point” is wild. Are you trying to say its not a real place? Or that no actual queer people can possibly have gone there? Merely ever having been there once means you’re a scammer? Like that’s not proof of anything.

Nearly every major company in North America is pushing AI. It is literally everywhere. We have long sense crossed the point of no return. The only thing that could meaningfully impact it would be legislation against it. And thats definitely not happening.

I commented this on a previous post about pregnancy dysphoria. Still holds true to how i feel,

I’ve mostly made peace with the fact that it will never happen. It hurts very badly sometimes but it is what it is. I really want to be a mom one day, and when I am able to I will love my children with all my heart. For me, being a mom is my life’s dream. I wish I could conceive my own children but, I can’t. Someday it will be a reality for women like us but it’s not there yet and I’m really not holding out any hope that it will be within my life time. Even if it does happen in my lifetime I don’t want to spend my life waiting for something that is unlikely to ever happen for me. Focusing on how ultimately being a mom itself is my dream has helped me cope. Because that is something I can work towards today.

I really strongly empathize with this pain though. I’ve cried myself to sleep over it many times. I hope you’re able to find what helps make it easier for you.

I love Sailor Jupiter. Just finishing season 4 with my friend right now. Sailor Mercury will always be my favorite I think haha

It doesnt matter really, evidence is really irrelevant to the entire thing at this point. The people tuning in do not understand what autism is to begin with, let alone what evidence would even mean in this context.

I won’t be surprised when studies show in a few years a large drop in Tylenol use during pregnancy (probably overall use too), and the diagnosis rate of autism continues the overall increasing trend (as we become better at diagnosing it).

I generally dont ask if anyone wants to come with. If anyone has to go I feel like they usually will be like oh I have to go too and then come along. Sometimes I will ask close friends if they have to go too. Especially if the bathrooms are far from where we’re sitting / dancing.

If you also have to go at the same time yeah for sure you can be like oh ill come with i have to go too.

I do wait if we’re both going to the bathroom at the same time. Usually just stand by the door after I wash my hands. But it depends how well I know the person ig and if we had been talking. Some women are super chatty and will talk to you the whole time haha but I feel like most of us aren’t. It’s just nice to group up.

I cannot wrap my head around where this was coming from or how you could possibly believe this was supportive. She made a post about a validating experience with a date, and you immediately thought to counter her validation? How tf is that supportive
