Love is love, you don’t choose it, it happens.

Honestly this is the best way.

Give it time. Sometimes they can start out vanilla and warm to the idea of kinks through your relationship. Usually those kind of things aren’t set in stone.

Honestly if you lower your standards it gets pretty easy.

As my great grandfather used to say: “specitacals, testicles, wallet and watch”

“What can I do to help?”

Unfortunately, this applies to 99% of people in power I know of, if they think they’ll get away with it, they’ll do it.

You don’t usually get into places of power by being thoughtful and considerate.

That’s what it feels like to me.

It’s something like “Live as if you weren’t disabled because you making your disability visible bothers me. And if you’re unable to do that, well either stay in an institution where you belong or if you can’t afford that you should just die”

As a disabled person you’re spot on.

It’s the kind of people saying that disabled people should just “get on with their life” and stop “making everything about their disability”.

Like yeah sure Bradley, I would do that, if I could get on with my life because c*nts like you didn’t deny every attempt at making the world accessible. Maybe if people like you didn’t complain every time a cent was spent on an accessibility fund or on medical research I would actually be able to be getting on with my life.

But no, since we’re treated like shit I have to make “everything about my disability” just for my basic survival. Because if I don’t I’ll just be left in a ditch to starve.

I’d slap him. I don’t fucking care, I’m dying from societal neglect and welfare failings and like literally 0.00001% of his wealth could fix all my problems, you have to be inherently selfish to hoard all that wealth (not to mention be inherently evil to get it in the first place).

(this is a joke, I wouldn’t put it past Musk for suing for verbal assault or something)

Tankies entire world view is formed around hating the US.

They will glorify terrible regimes that literally commit genocides and straight up murder thousands of innocents just because that regime is in opposition to US influence.

They use left wing language, but they do not care about leftist issues. They do not care about disabled people getting focibly euthanised, about anyone who dares critique the regime being forcibly silenced, about minorities being genocided (unless the US or NATO does it), that their “socialist states” literally have billionaires while others starve. They think it’s all US propaganda. (Alternatively, they’ll admit part of it and say it’s for the greater good).

It only works if you actually commit to it.

But imagine the implications if a country did not commit to it (bar an obvious one like Hungary or Turkey). They’ll likely get sanctioned, probably will have trouble entering any useful alliances for the next decade or so because no one trusts them anymore.

Similarly if most countries have a mutual defence pact, no one country will be able to invade another without being at war with literally the whole world.

So you think when an imperial country tried to invade another one against the people’s will they should just accept it?

There are many more americans in Ukraine’s foreign legion than the Russian.

I’m guessing your subtly criticising people who support Ukraine’s defence from Russian imperialism?

Just a hunch, if not, I’m sorry, a lot of people who support Russian imperialism on lemmy.

Add NYT to the list

Literally the subheading of the article

Complètement diminuées, des personnes atteintes de Covid long font face à des délais de plus deux ans pour savoir si elles auront droit ou non à une rente AI. Incapables de travailler, certaines finissent ruinées.

In english:

Completely disabled, people stricken by long COVID face delays of more than two years to know if they will have disability benefits. Incapable of working, some finish bankrupt.

Is this not an example of medical bankruptcy ie. bankruptcy due to a medical condition?

It’s about bankrupcy due to a medical condition.

Yes, resulting from lack of treatment and delay in paying disability benefits.
