Disabled, unable to work. I get paid around 8k (USD equivalent) a year to survive. I’m barely alive and in poverty.

Yeah. The headline is an editorialisation by OP, not the original headline.

That’s why they do it. A lot of people can’t afford to donate to software, so for those who can, it’s nice to make a sizeable contribution.

That printer is a nightmare. But financially makes sense.

If Russia stops fighting, there’s no more war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there’s no more Ukraine.

Both facists and tankies have genocided disabled people and selectively killed anarchists.

As a disabled anarchist, they end up seeming pretty similar to me.

Which means poor people who usually can’t afford credit cards with god buybacks essentially have a 3% fee on everything rich people don’t have thanks to genenours credit card points:

In fact, the video creator literally says that poor people are paying for rich people’s luxury at the end of the video.

I really liked this video. But as a poor person I kind of felt like it didn’t really acknowledge the financial constraints most people have.

i can only afford to eat meat once a week, otherwise I don’t have enough food at all. I eat it once a week because I don’t have the money or energy to venture into vegan supplements and stuff.

But I can only afford the absolute dirt cheap stuff. It sucks. I want a society where I have the capacity to make a choice in meat consumption, but I do not. Because disabled people who can’t work like me are left to live in poverty.

Those aren’t mutually exlusive. Cute bad luck.

An EV has about 50% lifetime CO2 emissions as an ICE.

So it’s beneficial to switch for the few usecases that still need personal vehicles.

For the rest, we really should be using Ebikes, Trains, Metros, Trams etc.

Yes but how could Ron never have seen a Galleon in his life and in the next book he has to buy textbooks worth like 40 galleon at the beginning.

She’s terribly ableist too. She made an entire book disparaging people with invisible disabilities.

JK Rowling just kind of improvised vis a vis the price of things over the series. Ie. in one book a galleon is a fortune where you can afford the entire snack cart and Ron has never seen that kind of money before with his own eyes, but then the next book the school books cost 5 galleons.

If you take a look at the most valuable thing in my appartment, that would seem to be the case

@[email protected], it’s okay if you don’t understand, before I had faced widespread systemic violence and oppression by the system and watched family be mistreated and die preventable deaths, I’m not sure I would have understood either.

By the way, welcome to lemmy! I hope you enjoy it here :)

We need to recognise social murder as murder.

Thousands of people die preventable deaths every day because of health insurance not covering basic measures, but people online spend more effort defending the life of one CEO, than those millions of cumulative deaths.

The unheard pleas and screams for help of millions of people are being ignored so a couple rich people can uphold their hierarchy. It’s inevitable that some of the oppressed people will crack, here it was Luigi, a rich and privileged kid, who couldn’t deal with the sort of stuff poor disabled and marginalised folk deal with every day.

But yet we also see him as a sort of symbol, standing for the collective pain we have felt, the relatives and friends who have died preventable deaths, someone who stood up and sent a message to the people causing so much suffering.

Most won’t agree with how he did it, and that’s okay, but you’ve got to admit, your “letter” comparison doesn’t make sense. He could have sent a letter, and it would have been ignored, just like the millions of pleas for help were.

Yep. S01 and S02 of American Dad are watchable too, and then it becomes bigoted slop.

Those shows both started off lefty, and then became “mainstream” so they had to make fun of leftists, which meant basically being racist, ableist etc.
