Except that’s way after critical language development could be aided by implants, leaving deaf adults who later decide to get them stuck having to relearn how to talk.

I took several years of sign language and I have to be real, the deaf community at large have some fucking weird opinions about healthcare

Deaf kids getting shunned because they got a cochlear implant is a good example

Or parents refusing inexpensive implants early in life for their kids because they’d rather their kid be deaf like them than even have a chance to develop regular speech patterns. It’s cruel.

Combine this with the simultaneous victim-complex about how hard it is being deaf (which is entirely fair. We did a project where we all wore earplugs for a week at school, and that was HARD. Got really good at cheating in ASL tho) and it all makes me feel kinda…. Icky?

“Being deaf isn’t a disability, but also we will shame you if you get treatment. Also being deaf is so hard and there’s a lot we can’t do. But I won’t let me daughter get implants, because then she would be less deaf than me, which isn’t a disability”

And it’s cruel, because then they never get the opportunity to develop speech when they’re young with audible feedback.

Realistically because it takes time and effort to integrate foss and self hosted solutions a lot people don’t have the energy or know how to do.

That’s a very obtuse response and the governments I’m referencing are obvious.

They aren’t.

It’s literally enforced by the government

Ya know it’s not that anyone “deserves” to get hit by a car. I will say there are definitely circumstances I’ve seen where it was an incredibly predictable outcome

Standing in a parking lot and get hit? Drivers fault.

Sprinting across four lanes of traffic on a busy street in rush hour, at dusk, in black clothing? I mean… still the drivers fault technically, but cmon.

It’s only unsanitary if you’re unsanitary though.

I’m happy for you? You’re very tough. I wouldn’t do that shit if you paid me ten million and I definitely wouldn’t make a ten year old do it.

Shhhh we’re hating on cars now, it doesn’t matter that they’re a massive utility the improves the day to day life of millions upon millions of people. Also, we don’t do kids here. Something something capitalism.

So, child fil a is a premium typo

You’ve never, ever sat in a Taco Bell drive through line high as shit?

Imagine the new user experience

The hitting a cop with a car part

It concerns me that it makes Lemmy look even more empty than it is when every post 2nd is from a repost bot with no engagement

Honestly the Reddit repost bots are just egregious. The ones that INFURIATE me are the ones just reposting links to the Reddit threads themselves with no comments here

water noises

Because conservatives don’t represent people they represent Wall Street
