SO MANY PEOPLE DESERVE THIS AWARD BUT DINNY DESERVES IT THE MOST
That is true! Jazz makes me very anxious actually, many brass instruments do in fact. In addition, my music tastes rarely extend back past the 1990s, which is a crime by many hipster standards. However, if we return to the usage of the word hipster as in someone who is "hip" with the times, then my music tastes do get more relevant.
Talk to me about music sometime
tale wind is a precious baby
Krowley just does the villain voice so well
have you ever turned on a light switch while in the shower because oh boy (nova)
if i don't win the hipster poll this year i'll kill everyone
im looking forward to my competition with amaury this year
I am honestly astounded that neither Nova or Hatok are on this poll, together they've made like 80% of the posts in the KH sections recently
I am absolutely baffled that you chose to use these examples because they aren't examples at all. There is no such thing as racism against white people or sexism against men. Interpreting racism or sexism in this way fundamentally ignores the presence of power and institution, and equates it to discrimination. Writing sexism and racism off as you do ignores how deeply it is embedded into the very structure of our society, and boils it down to something like "white ppl b hatin' haw haw haw." It's a lot more serious than that. Once again, your examples do not represent ableism at all. While there are valid everyday examples of ableism -- way too many, of course, which is why it's an issue -- a lot of what you're describing isn't anywhere near what the term actually refers to. I'm wondering if you object to my usage of it because you don't understand what ableism is. The particular example you used that astounds me is the hearing aid example, as hearing aids make the world more accessible for a disabled person. The example you gave about racism doesn't have anything to do with ableism. Once again, the gigantic disclaimer to all of this is that I am not disabled and am not the person to be talking about this. I've tried to link to more appropriate and valid sources, which I highly recommend your looking at. Oh good, something I can speak about with a little more authority. I come across this argument a lot when in my women's club or representing my school's feminist magazine. Now that some celebrities have 'come out' as feminists, people are growing more familiar with the term -- which is great! Don't get me wrong, I am jazzed about that. But what many of these celebrities are totting is what I've seen called "mainstream feminism" -- that is, an incredibly watered down version that pays little attention to the metaethics, intersectionality, and so on of the movement. People equate feminism to a movement for women's equality -- and yeah, I guess that's a start on properly defining it, but the words "equality" and "justice" are not interchangeable -- and justice is what social movements are working towards. Because on paper, men and women are, for the most part & within US law, equal. But we all know that isn't the case at all. I like to use this basic example, which I found somewhere on the internet a very long time ago and take no credit for, to explain the gap between equality and justice: think about society as a track (as in, for running). Let's say we started everyone at an equal point, like so: Spoiler And told everyone to run around the entire track once. We'll use a basic black and white example here -- to reflect our society, the white man would be in lane 1. The black man might be in lane 5 or 6. For the two of them to run the entire track, the man on the inside lane -- the white man -- would have the run substantially less to reach the destination. That is an unfair advantage he is given over the black man, and it's why tracks have these beginning lines: Spoiler The advantage that the runner in line 1 -- the white man -- is mitigated by making him start further back then the black man. That is justice. This is an incredibly oversimplified example with holes in it, so a bit easier to understand is this political cartoon: And this is why I won't relent in using the world justice. Equality is a nice idea and all, but in our society, equality is not always justice.

I never said she was disabled, I said "or who otherwise might have some kind of disorder." The low intelligence bit was referring to characters like the one in Full House. But the words you are using -- stupid, idiot, etc. -- are all ableist in nature. They're used far more than something as clearly problematic as say "******ed," even by me I admit, but that doesn't mean they're okay either, and I do try to work them out of my speech. I won't stop using the word ableism to settle your conscious about the behavior on television or your fear of social justice. The words racism and sexism also belong to social justice movements -- that doesn't mean they're not applicable in situations. It's an extremely common word in my day to day life (on the internet, in activist circles, and I am studying education in college) so please don't tell me not to use it. I don't have any specific disabilities so I am by no means an authority on or mouthpiece for these issues, but I also don't have to be (and shouldn't be!) okay with them. It's dismissive to write off these issues and people who care about them as "social justice warriors," a term that I cannot believe has become derogatory. The problem with these shows is that these characters are turned into the butt of jokes. An intellectual disability IS a disability. Danny didn't want DJ to hang out with Kimmy because she wasn't up to DJ's intellectual standards? How is that even slightly okay? As far as I remember, which I admit is limited because I don't exactly watch or remember much about Full House, Kimmy was otherwise a decent person, a loyal friend, and someone DJ really cared about. Kimmy got into trouble sometimes, and often roped DJ into it, but so did the other sisters. I seem to remember it being implied that Kimmy didn't have the most attentive parents or positive home environment It's ****ed up that DJ's family would verbally abuse a CHILD on the basis of her intelligence or even her quirkiness.
I'm not familiar with the show or character in question but it's pretty ableist to laugh at a character of low intelligence or who otherwise might have some kind of disorder. This always made me very uncomfortable about Full House -- DJ's friend was mocked for being "stupid" and her different life by not just the kids but the ADULTS. They never seemed to feel it necessary to defend the poor girl and even encouraged treating her that way. Way too many shows employ this and it's disgusting.
My tolerance for kids' TV shows is basically nonexistent. Way too many of them feature these insipid, misbehaved kids in ridiculous yet contrite situations. People call back to 90s cartoons but a lot of those were pretty **** as well. idk. Watch Adventure Time. That's one of the few quality shows airing today.
Questions like these, that are issues with the YT website, are probably better directed towards Google. They know how the site works and can help you solve & fix the problem.
Run a malware scan.
Considering I think you were afraid for the fate of your laptop I am not sure it would fair to judge on that one experience.
what's going on here As a child I would talk in my sleep, grind my teeth, and, most horrifying, laugh. Really freaked my sisters out. Nowadays I mostly sleep alone & I haven't had anyone tell me about odd habits. I am a very still sleeper as well.
Oh yeah, we could do things like that of course. I was more thinking it'd be good for KH news posts etc but it has a lot of usages.
I would rather install it as an optional thing -- default is avatar, but if someone wants, they can specify different.
