I speak with an american accent in my academic circle because everyone there is super american.

But in my friend group I let my half-aussie half-british accent go free.

Also speak that american accent with most strangers since they have usually learnt american english and will probably understand me better.

🤮

You’re so right. And now one of the two biggest parties in the US (GOP) is basically a Russian propaganda creation, along with its platform.

That was always the joke in my friend group.

Climate change? Yeah it’s backed by the canadian beachowners lobby, that’s why the politicians don’t care.

I think asking for trans people is wrong because they genuinely are (in a sense of their core identity and perception of themselves) the gender they transitioned too.

But a different question would be for example, for someone who got disbled later in life, are you disabled in your dreams?

The answer (atleast for me) in that case, is mostly I am, but not always, and sometimes less severely so than in real life.

If you mean “developped” vs “develloping”.

The HDI of the US is significantly lower than canada or northern europe, but still much higher than the world average.

Here’s an Inequality Adjusted version of the Human Development index, the US comes 27th, below Estonia and Cyprus, but 27th out of nearly 200 is counted as “develloped”.

Too bad lemmy doesn’t have a “prisonhooch” community as far as I know. That tends to attract far more people as it costs less

Funny how last time this happened the headines were: “Arab immigrant attacks swiss family with machete.”

And now that it’s a Swiss man, they don’t mention nationality or race in the headline.

As someone disabled by covid, I think the world even regressed by covid.

Pre-covid we didn’t have half the population denying that a common virus existed or refusing to get vaccinated.

Eh. Half of that 2.7 billion being put into research into a disease like Myalgic Enceph. (ME) could probably significantly improve the quality of life of 80 million people who have one of the worlds most disabling diseases.

Ah another user to add to the blocklist.

They better send some to Ukraine.

Make Putler happy.

Russia has already kidnapped and killed people inside of Europe. I guess it gets treated like espionage.

My rule is even though I still begrudgingly use twitter, I stay the hell away from the for you feed and stay on the following feed.

The answer to your question is that Musk is a right wing propagandist.

Look up for your specific device(s) but for safari on ios it is hush.

My life is so much better ever since I’ve added an extension that auto rejects cookies

Because the Right won seats. And the right don’t care because they’re paid off.

He’s straight up outstanding. And he was born in 2007 wtf.

It’s so weird, like I was born in Australia and moved away at the age of 4 and somehow have citienship? I wasn’t born disabled but am now. The system is so weird.
