I don't think intellectually challenged individuals deserve cruelty, nor do I believe anyone does. However, this is the first argument that popped into my head, and I want to genuinely discuss this. Again, I do NOT agree that the intellectually challenged are deserving of discrimination. This is for the purpose of discussion.
If being intellectually challenged isn't worthy of discrimination, why feel insulted when called retarded?
Man, that is one helluva straw man you're telling off. You give em hell though!
Seriously, you read like the cringiest self-important teenager. Maybe go touch grass, "for all our sakes" 😂
So... I shouldn't care about your comment, and your view that no one should care, because you're a pathetic crybaby clown?
Ya wtf is up with eevery Meme sublemmy just being politics? That shit should STAY in a politics sublemmy. I don't go to Memes to be sad and angry, I go to Memes to ESCAPE and ENJOY myself.
I had such hope for Lemmy, but its just a cesspool of hateful extremists with a handful of people trying to genuinely enjoy themselves.
I feel like the older I get, the more attracted to men I become. Idk, must be all that microplastic lol
If my instance allowed downvoting, I would.
Uh, so you alright there buddy?
I have no faith in the justice of the USA anymore. His whole base could turn against him and he'd wiggle his way out of any punishment the same way he has before as acting president. Immunity.
Just RUNNING for second term had courts dropping cases from him.
There are too many people in power that want him in power for anything to happen. Even if all those people are on the list, which duh of course they are, those people have enough influence that they could feasibly keep power.
One, they aren't fantasy units— this is real life, son.
Two, the country was built on imperial, so the trades use imperial to maintain the country. Everyone in the US grows up learning in imperial, and then learns metric when they get into physics and chemistry.
Three, I addressed the fact that WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO SWITCH. It does not matter if it is going to be more expensive in the future. We can't afford it NOW.
I understand the spirit of your reply. This is just the reality of what having 50 different states, who can't agree on anything and are loosely tied together by an over-arching government, is like.
There are 27 counties in the European Union, and they are filled with reasonable people in government(for the most part). We have 50 states that are filled with greedy little assholes who will do everything in their power to gain more power to leverage in a bid to destroy what they deem "the enemy", so they can make even more money and gain more power.
We are never going to convert wholesale to metric. We can't even agree, as a country, that poor people are people, at a government scale. That is entirely motivated by profit and nothing more.
It simply does not pay to switch to metric.
