Yeah, whatever dude. I have more important things to do than worry about phrases such as falling on deaf ears, which is one of the main phrases I take issue with in this waste of time article.
Not even sort of the same thing. The n word is a racist term people use to intimidate people. Falling on deaf ears is an expression used with a specific meaning. Now if it was intended as an intimidation tactic or something to make people fearful for their life or insult them that'd be different. This is neither of those things.
How is the phrase falling on deaf ears oppressive. Am I living in opposite world now where that's a slur people use to try to intimidate someone?
Yeah, definitely didn't say 'fuck disabled people'. This is literally a made up problem.
Dude, I'm about as left leaning as it gets. The mental illness comments mentioned in the article, sure, that's kind of problematic. But statements that are literally just expressions that have been used for probably half a century or more like "falling on deaf ears". Gimme a break. Find something actually a problem to focus on, like the climate crisis, or the Assault on trans rights in the U.S.
If you're offended by the phrase falling on deaf ears, which is very much just an expression, then you need to go outside more. Nobody is trying to offend deaf people with that phrase.
Didn't someone really waste time writing an article about statements like "falling on deaf ears" being hurtful? There saved everyone a click.
A little late om that one. But, better than nothing.
How is this a victory? The guy still was arrested and threatened, and it will happen again to someone else.
Is not being on most social media sticking your head in the sand now? I still read the news and try to stay informed. It's just not in my face as much anymore. I would consider that a win.
They said slightly inconvenient, not change the fundamental molecule they makes life possible.
^This person right here officer.
Burn in hell you heretical asshole. Hehe
I would wait a few years, make sure you've really watched a lot of YouTube videos on medical stuff.
I did mention immunocompromized in my comment. For the vast majority of people, they are not in your shoes, and the vaccine is more than enough protection from covid. Sorry you have to deal with all that regardless.
You joke, but I have watched so many YouTube tutorials on unreal engine, Godot, and Blender to learn game development stuff. I wouldn't say I'm an expert. But I definitely know a lot more than I did a few years ago.
I didn't see IndieDev, which is a community I frequented a lot on reddit. Between this one and IndieDev, that's where I spent most of my time. I'm honestly not even sure what the distinction between the two is anymore.
