As a non-wheelchair using disabled person, I would like to point out that those benches are ironically, anti-disabled too, as those of us who need to rest more frequently than the able bodied now have less places to do so. Hostile architecture is shitty for everyone, not just homeless people… 😢

As a over six foot, 350 pound tank of a human, those stupid bench spikes to prevent people laying down are dumb as can be. They space them about 14 to 16 inches apart. Not everyone is that thin, people.

[@elaexplorer]

Right! The Walmart used to have benches throughout the store so customers could rest if they needed to. They pulled them all out and then later put one back, near the pharmacy. Even the chairs in the restaurant area are bad, they're the high chair type with tall tables and you can only sit there if you've ordered something from the restaurant.

Man, do I hate people who say "so fewer people were autistic/trans/gay/whatever in the 70's!" No, they just weren't allowed to exist back then, so they either pretended to be "normal" or got hunted down. Look at a chart of how many people were left-handed before and after it became acceptable to be left-handed.

[@sashadoom]

Exactly, I was born in '76 and as a kid, I'd be called "scatterbrained" and "hyper" and "weird" and "nuts" because ADHD and autism weren't common terms/diagnoses. Was diagnosed several years ago, but it didn't just appear in my 40's. For me, having official diagnoses didn't really change much - I didn't respond well to meds, and I'd learned how to compensate over the years - but it's interesting to think about how life might have been different if I'd been born a couple decades later and diagnosed/treated earlier on. But that wasn't something that you'd necessarily be persecuted for by default (though you could've ended up in a mental institution if deemed 'unmanageable'), not like you would be if you were (are) outwardly not cis-het. I don't get why that's so hard for some folks to comprehend.

[@tummytub1161]

Yes! And we know more about that stuff. Back in the day (when I was young and I'm not that ancient) you used to be a "difficult student" and was sent to craft school or something. Turns out that still happens, but we now have the choice 😂 For some extra context: I'm 33 and was diagnosed with ADHD age 9, disexlia age 14 (after dropping from the smart people education called gymnasium in the Netherlands, all the way to havo in 2 years) they told me they could not help me with extra curriculum to get my diploma, despite being an average 8/10 for other classes except language. Then I did vmbo t (theoretical crafting school, which I don't know how to translate this correctly). Passed that shit with an average of 9/10 with two fingers up my nose. After that ordeal I said frick school I'm going to nail pieces of wood together because I liked that better anyways (I was 16 at the time). After that I traveled the world a bit and honed my skills. Did some university classes next to starting my own contracting business. Now I can reasonably speak 4 different languages, have a degree in engineering and science, am expert in restoring windmills and old houses, have several diplomas in machine building and a patent(that expired because of adhd😂), made 100k a year on average and am now sitting on my butt doing nothing so I can finally get diagnosed with the autism they suspected I had when I was 9. They deliberately didn't diagnose me because of the stigma, like wtf! When it's all done I'm going to restart my company and kick ass again. I'm also going to take apprenticeships to teach kids with an "extra" how to do woodworking. Several of my customers were even willing to wait until I get back in business again so I can do their projects, because they think I'm that good. Autism is hereditary and I am at least 6th generation technically gifted. The world needs us and always have, just like we need people that can sit in an office all day. It has never been different. We all need eachother so we can improve the world. The only thing that changed is the way we see things and what we know. Don't ever feel useless, because you are not. Find the thing you like to do and/or are good at. It might take a week or it might take 50 years, never give up. (I just wanted to add that)

[@mari_3kyu]

There's so many awfully messed up people just walking around who would've been much better off with therapy, like actually, they could really use it but no, they're just a straight guy. And that's normal and accepted. Really wish it wasn't, I would like to feel safe

[@denisemadison1298]

It kind of depended. Society at large chose to be ignorant. But, a lot of us kids did not. I was a nerd and had nerd friends and chorus friends. We always included 2 kids (1 with severe autism {a gentle giant that was mentally 5} and one we think had mildish autism). We helped disabled kids when they needed it without a though. We had no issues with gay people {did not know about trans back then}, heck our top artists were gayyyyyy and did not hide it, lol. Oh, we had a few racists and sexists, but they were the minority. I only remember 4-5 times someone said something inappropriate. And this is the deep South in a state that comes to mind when people associate racism and states. Nowadays, we still get hate, but, a majority of families here are mixed with a touch of everything and most do not hide it. We like to say we put our crazy and different on display (always have). I was a mid sixties born kid.

[@mar420.74]

Yeah because in 2012 I remember my kindergarten teacher telling me to stop writing with my left hand and to learn how to use my right hand instead. I was ambidextrous, but now I'm left-handed, my parents told her no and I could write with whatever hand i wanted, I might have autism (unrelated) but I have to get checked and there's already a lot going on there's never a right time to go.

“If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, if you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime.” True in theory but if you give the man a fish to eat then teach him how to fish he’s more likely to be successful because he’s not starving in the interim while he learns. AKA providing housing makes people have a secure safe place to go to clean up and rest letting their body system adjust to not being in a constantly hyper vigilant state of stress so they can go out and get steady jobs. When you’re in constant fear of losing what little you have it’s difficult to get anywhere because you’re trying to figure out where your next meal is coming from and unable to get medical care or mental health care PLUS people call cops on homeless encampments because they don’t want to see the desperate people.

A lot of people who live on the street lose their ID papers and only some lawyers work with getting these people their birth certificates and proof of existence. A friend's partner had been homeless with lost papers, and it took more than a year to get the paperwork straightened out. When cops deliberately trash homeless people's property, that's often what goes missing for people who don't have driver's licenses. And getting robbed can mean not having a driver's license and documentation of having one.

Yup the amount of nuance in cases like these makes it pretty impossible for the human staff to be replaced. ..I volunteered at a help line last year and let me tell you, while we are instructed to keep a distance and try to avoid acting like a friend, at times it was impossible, because the person needed to feel that you cared, not as a professional but as a fellow human. Sometimes I ended a call not knowing if I had overstepped, or if I should have said something else, it is so hard to deal with people in distress because there isn't a script... and keeping your distance without being cold is so hard ( during formation they kept repeating sympathy isn't the same as empathy, our job is to help them and listen, you are not qualified to give advice, your job is to help them search avenues they didn't consider and help them reach a path that works for them). I was lucky to never get a call of someone having a crisis (I dealt mostly with loneliness, feelings of depression, relationship issues and venting) but I know people who have... this is such a deeply human job that it scares me to think of how the AI dealt with it.

28:10 To answer the question, in case it was asked in honest: The chemicals in smoke have the effect of contracting arteria. You might have noticed that chain smokers often have cold hands and feet. The same thing happens in the placenta and the umbilical cord - your child gets less oxygen and nourishment, and might get developmental defects as a result.

[@-MarbleHornetsFan-]

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

Anecdote time! My sister was a teen mom in 2000 and heard that smoking caused lower birth weights. Being vain and stupid, she didn't quit smoking (she did stop partying), in hopes of having a small baby therefore an easier birth. Well, her placenta stopped growing around 6-7 months, severely malnourishing the baby. Double whammy. She had some steroid injections to promote lung development and was going in twice a week for scans and on a Wednesday, they said the baby had to be born or would die. My niece was almost 2 months early, 2lbs, 4 oz (not sure in non-freedom units but around a kilo) and luckily completely healthy. My sister and niece were lucky. Her only effects from pregnancy was being tiny, addicted to nicotine, and had colic. Her only neurologic issues are dyslexia and ADHD. We suspect she is on the autism spectrum but refused to get diagnosed. So yeah, don't smoke when pregnant. Treat yourself and your baby right. Listen to your doc and bring up any possible issues.

[@Outnumberedbykidsandcats]

I always tried to not be judgey in women I delivered who were smokers, but rather educational. You can often tell when someone is a smoker by their placenta as when we check it after delivery it has a really gritty feel where the vessels are all calcified. One woman asked to see hers and we had a discussion about why it was like that and the higher risk of stillbirth in women who smoke. She got really upset and I told her that the baby is here now and you can’t change it, but it’s always worth remembering it if you have another baby.

Yep. I once had insurance deny med B because I had not yet tried med A. Why were we trying to get med B covered? Oh yeah, because they had denied the claim for med A stating it wasn't indicated for my condition (it's literally ONLY indicated for my condition). So we resubmitted for med A...only to be told it wasn't indicated for my condition. That eventually was solved by telling them to make up their mind (obviously a lot more complicated than that, but this is a KZbin comment, not a book). They also make me prove I still have an incurable condition every year. And once denied the venipuncture when I had blood work.

Hot take regarding the whole "The school should tell the parents if their son is trans" situation: Let me preface this by saying I do not have kids and do not plan on having kids. The only way I will ever raise a kid is if either or both of my sisters messes up raising children and the kids need an adult to step up. That being said, I would want to know if any kids I am the legal guardian of are trans, so that I can support them better. And I want to learn that information not via the school telling me because that would make me feel like a failure of a parental figure if the kids I'm taking care of don't trust me - an openly trans woman - with that. I would want the kids to trust me enough to tell me whenever they're ready.

The upside is the Democrats aren't compensating by going more center. At least not as much as they were. We used to only have Bernie. Now we're closing in on a whole baseball team.

Does that mean he can't block other people's either? So, if a lot of people posted a meme at the same time, he'd see it? 😈

The predator hunters that went after that 13 year old... the weird thing there is that... the predator hunters themselves actually spoke inappropriately with a 13 year old boy and met up with him... they are the predators in that... right?

[@thatonewitch]

Yeah, can we get the FBI to investigate them? They may be lying about their "profession"

[@RussetPotato]

@@thatonewitchyes there is an online form you can submit the form with links to the original posts if you can track them down.

[@LRM12o8]

Yeah, that's very creepy and stupid. There's ways to confirm the identity of an online profile without meeting the person irl. They should have - at MOST - invited him to a videochat where they reveal their true identity and educate them on the illegality of asking a 12 year old for explicit images even if you yourself aren't much older. This kid didn't need to be scared or even traumatized by meeting with grown men instead of a girl and being yelled at/berated by them, he just needed to get educated of the dangers and legal boundaries of looking for love online. He did respect "her" boundaries after all! He's no bad guy, he's just a little dumb and needs an explanation why he shouldn't have even asked in the first place! 💁‍♂️ But these "predator hunters" vigilantes can't conceive the notion that a teenage boy is another innocent player/victim, rather than a creep in the making! Those type of people always assume that people are pre-determined to end up a certain way from a young age, rather than developing and making errors on their journey to learn right from wrong. And of course the vigilantes can always accurately tell the earliest sign of a future criminal and then they go out of their way to punish the kid (instead of explaining and helping them to learn why they're wrong), which ironically makes them more likely to become a criminal. 🤦‍♂️

21:35 Excluding the fact that removing the block button is illegal, it's more likely because Elon's account is literally the most blocked account on the site, closely followed by advertisers. If i had to guess, its mostly because Elon is big baby rage mad that so many people blocked him. The dude has a huge ego.

[@mirandarensberger6919]

4:53 This actually makes total sense. If people see trans people only sexually, of course they're more likely to be worried about what trans people might be getting up to in bathrooms or whatever. That's why representation in mainstream media is important.

American beer is awful. We live 12 miles from the U.S. border in a little village in Manitoba, Canada. Our local pub has a LOT of young Americans coming down on Friday night to enjoy our beer, and they stay in a room in the hotel, going back on Sunday. They're allowed to drink at 18 in Canada, and must be 21 in the U.S. Plus our beer is so much better than theirs. They have a fun time and don't cause any trouble, so we don't mind having them in town.

32:43 im always happy when click explains math questions like these I was never good at math, and while i know not to listen to anything elon musk or his fans say, i would never know what this equation mean if click didnt explain it. He makes it easy to understand too

[@AceOfBlackjack]

28:04 unironically they started to get more clicks… because folks started to click it for news, a problem they used to have was they were too ridiculous to get clicks for ads, now their data shows a lot.

[@mizixy9624]

For the predator hunters and the 13 year old boy … to expand on what Click said. If they live in the United States, not only would having those types of photos be illegal but taking those photos and sending those photos would also be illegal. Doesn’t matter the age of any of the participants, it’s a federal crime and could get you on a registry.

[@solomonverrico]

Also predator hunters aren't actually solving anything. Maybe they're occupying the predator's time instead of them preying on a real kid, but they're not bringing anyone to justice. The system doesn't work this way and more often than not, even Chris Hansen's cases got thrown out for things like entrapment.

34:35 what happened is we got diagnosed in the 1990s & early 2000s (source: autistic, diagnosed 2002, born 1974 - before diagnosis I was weird at best, ableist slur at worst. Same goes with allergies & intolerances. Back in the day there was the one girl who "needed to use the toilet more". Now she knows what food made her do that & can avoid it instead of suffering)
