  • Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth

  • There is a mild push to "emphasize people first", i.e. not someone who is mentally disabled, but a person with mental disabilities.

    Although having worked with clients who were, the term I learned and used as optimal was "adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities".

    :shrug; I'm not suggesting that's "more correct", mind.

  • I've heard a way to disambiguate "Indian" is to ask "dot or feather?" which is, alas, at least mildly racist. But I remember reading about it a few years ago because someone of - wait for it¹ - native and Indian heritage who worked at a casino on a reservation as tech support - was asked this question and got to answer "BOTH!" (and we were all amused at their job and its location) lol

    It sounds made up, and who knows, but at the time I remember the discussion seemed to support that they weren't lying. :shrug:

    ¹ but I won't make you wait long. In fact, if you had skipped this footnote, you'd already know!

  • ugh, I'm going to hate myself for making this pun, but you can check my history and see I speak up about the "R" word, but here's an example of legitimate usage:

    So you're saying you decided to removed your rate of replies until you mentally challenged yourself?

    I'll… see myself out. :)

  • To even hear the word is to think about suicide!!!

    Well, no. That is not what is meant, and if you honestly think that, then you've got some sort of neurospicy stuff happening. Or you're being hyperbolic.

    If that is what they meant, then they would get either 100% "Well, yes, since you bring the concept up" or they would be able to say "You can't not think about the word now that we've mentioned it, so clearly you're lying and unfit for this position" or whatever. And because that's not how anyone treats it, you know it cannot be true.

    The rest of your post I have not addressed as I have no major disagreements.

  • Anyone who spent serious time at an event this year noticed it. You sit in the room and thirty minutes in you realize the presenter has not actually field-tested any of what is on the screen. The model made it coherent. Coherence is not the same as true.

    I'm stealing/keeping that last bit, slightly rephrased: Coherence is not the same thing as truth.

  • Medicare for All Would Be $40 Trillion Cheaper Than Our Shitty For-Profit System | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • I remember when cost was at least a valid part of the debate - when public was projected to cost more than private. But it was still worth it to give healthcare to EVERYONE.

    Now, it's just ridiculously cheaper to go univesal, but the fascists don't like it.

  • Ah, well, I never ate animals I raised, only vegetables/fruit we grew :) But I knwo the rule: Do not give a name to what you're planning to eat. lol

    Ah, I dunno, chicken liver is alright to fry. I don't mind if they're medium well to very well done, they're tasty to me. hehe.

    And I can't do onions, so no liver-and-onion for me (especially because in the US, fried liver usually means chicken (tasty) and liver and onions usually means calf (eww). lol

  • I upvoted you becasue I think it's respectfully written and a valid thought experiment.

    I think the experiment fails, or has a negative result:

    1. Wildberries specifically had a category for essentially "Buy this and have it sent to the front for our soldiers to use"
    2. They were sending so much stuff that they set up dedicated infrastructure for that purpose
    3. Arguably, this had become a significant segment of their business

    So it's a matter of degree. This isn't like an American buying boots and sending them to their soldier somewhere. The scale of operations is wildly different.

    I do think there would also be a contributory factor of "But... but this is us, not them!", but I think the difference is very clear, and Wilberries is a valid target, whereas Walmart would not be.
