Question. Would a comment calling Nethanyahu “facist” be removed?

Ah. So it would be useful is @federalreverse@feddit.org could clarify. Cheers!

Though it seems unintuitive to me that a solution that explicitly guarantees equal rights for jews would be against the rules because it doesn’t include continuity of the Israeli state.

Also wealth within these blocs. The south of England is super blue even though it doesn’t have a necessarily high population density apart from London. It’s just it’s far more bourgeois and aristoratic than the north.

long covid disproportionately affects urban marginalised groups. These are the people who voted Harris at the highest margins. So please refrain from victim blaming.

There’s plenty to go on. It’s not like they had no life except flirting with and executing nazis.

Excerpt from the wp page:

During World War II, the Oversteegen family hid a Jewish couple in their home.[3] Freddie Oversteegen and her older sister Truus began handing out anti-Nazi pamphlets, which attracted the notice of HaarlemCouncil of Resistance commander Frans van der Wiel. With their mother's permission, the girls joined the Council of Resistance, which brought them into a coordinated effort.[2]Freddie was fourteen years old at the time.[3][4]

Oversteegen, her sister, and friend Hannie Schaft worked to sabotage the Nazi military presence in the Netherlands.[5] They used dynamite to disable bridges and railroad tracks.[6] They also smuggled Jewish children out of the country or helped them escape concentration camps.[2]

The Oversteegens and Schaft also killed German soldiers, with Freddie being the first of the girls to kill a soldier by shooting him while riding her bicycle.[1][5] They also lured soldiers to the woods under the pretense of a romantic overture and then killed them.[1][5]Oversteegen would approach the soldiers in taverns and bars and ask them to "go for a stroll" in the forest.[2][5]

I’m sorry. Somewhat related experience:

As a disabled person who is physically unable to do a lot of things. The advances in AI are pretty cool in that I can do stuff I never had the capacity for before.

But people seem to reflexively demonise anything to do with AI to the point I’m shamed out of even using it as an accessibility tool. It sucks. Sometimes feels like a sort of “moral panic” just like we had back when TV or the internet or dungeons and dragons got big.

Just to save people a rabbithole.

Kagi is pretty cool. But it’s not free. And for most people who don’t have much disposable income it’s not really a justifiable expense to pay for a search engine.

It’s ridiculous how it has improved literally everything.

Like I’m a hardcore fuck cars person. I mean I used to mod that subreddit until the blackouts, I helped popularise the fuck cars movement, and even I didn’t expect this to be such a success.

(this is a sarcastic post meant to highlight the absurdity of some of the “greater good” rhetoric we’ve been hearing, especially around leaving vulnerable populations like disabled people behind in case of revolution, basically accelerationism)

President Donald Trump’s firings at the Department of Health and Human Services included the entire office that sets federal poverty guidelines, which determine whether tens of millions of Americans are eligible for health programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, child care, and other services, former staff said.

Am I the only one that finds it weird that in English: "your disability got worse" and "your ability got worse" mean the same thing even though the words disability and ability effectively means the opposite thing, ie. Are antonyms.

Hundreds of thousands of seriously ill and disabled people will become “invisible” and cut adrift from local support services as a result of the government’s £5bn programme of disability benefit cuts, experts have warned.

Claimants who do not qualify for personal independence payment (Pip) or incapacity benefits would lose a “marker of need” with local councils and NHS bodies, making it “nearly impossible” for them to access help, said the consultancy Policy in Practice.

This would “effectively erase some of the most vulnerable people” from the system – including those with life-limiting illnesses including cancer, multiple sclerosis and lung conditions – while making it harder for care services to deliver preventive support

More than 230,000 disabled people will lose access to Pip and the incapacity element of universal credit as a result of the changes, losing at least £8,100 a year, Policy in Practice estimates in a briefing. Nearly 600,000 more who do not claim universal credit will lose or not qualify in future for Pip.

On top of the direct financial hit, disabled people will struggle for visibility in local care systems that use disability benefit awards to deploy support and protection, from housing and council tax relief to debt enforcement safeguards.

Loss of disability benefits means they will lose priority status on council housing waiting lists and will be deprived of priority status in homelessness assessments, leaving them at “greater risk of prolonged homelessness”, the briefing says.
