I’m willing to bet that the people who switch to Firefox for ad-blockers and ad-free YouTube aren’t the kinds of people who are donating much to Mozilla. People in online forums talk a big game about wanting to pay for products and not be the product. But it seems like people don’t really want to pay any meaningful amount of money for a browser.
Maybe they should be illegal?
To add to this, vegetable is a culinary term and not a scientific term. Whereas, fruit can be both. Tomatoes are scientifically a fruit, but generally not from a culinary perspective.
Excellent take, but in defense of the AB PR team, I don’t think they were expecting so much backlash from giving a 6 pack of beer to a trans person. I think it was just a small promotion they were doing and they were not anticipating this blowing up into something big. Right wing Twitter caught wind of it and made it a much bigger deal than it was.
If you browse some of the catholic subreddits (not sure if they’ve made their way to Lemmy yet) you’ll see that many conservative catholics question the legitimacy of the current Pope.
It seems like the more conservative catholics attack him the further left he goes.
I’d like to know why the fuck Americans are traveling to Paris to go to Disneyland. We have two perfectly good Disney theme parks in the US. Why not go to France and enjoy French things??
Edit: OP is an idiot. Another commenter determined that less than 10% of visitors to Disneyland France are American.
Letting your child touch something hot (like a stove) to teach them a lesson is in itself physical abuse…
Like that “American” girl that joined ISIS and tried to come back but then the courts were like… actually we don’t think you’re an American citizen. Have fun in Syria!
I wonder if this would be a possible use case for the stupid Dyson headphone filter. It uses positive pressure to provide you with filtered air. However, I’m not certain the filter would be enough to clean exhaust fumes.
Another issue would be that you probably shouldn’t be wearing headphones while biking, but maybe they have a passthrough mode.
Look up what phenotype means. I’ll help you, it’s the observable characteristics of an individual. The way a person looks can be part of the social construct that defines them as a race.
At the same time, I think it’s a bit more fluid than that. You’ll definitely have individuals who can pass for different ethnic groups. I’m South Indian and I can often pass for North Indian (especially because my name is typically North Indian).
You’re being needlessly pedantic and you’re trying to convince me of something that I already accept: race is a social construct that doesn’t scientifically exist. I know that. However, when I want to talk about Indian people looking more similar to each other than American people it’s kind of hard to simply say that without using race. Under your system I can only refer to every individual ethnic group of India or those of Indian national origin. Neither is what I want to refer to.
Also, since race is a social construct, you are incorrect that Indians must fall under the broader term Asian. They can be considered as Asian when appropriate to the discussion but they can fall under narrower or broader classifications when it is relevant to the discussion.
No, I intentionally used the word race instead of ethnicity. I’m well aware that India is diverse and has thousands of ethnic groups. I used race because many of these groups still share many phenotypical characteristics. In places like America there is more of a physical distinction between people of different races.
So, it’s interesting to me that humans can find ways to discriminate even when they look similar (or at least more similar than some other countries). This is probably not even unique to India. I’m sure other racially homogeneous nations experience similar types of discrimination that isn’t obvious to outsiders.
It’s wild that even when a country is (mostly) racially homogeneous, humans will find the most minute differences (imagined or otherwise) to discriminate.
Anyone can buy a wheelchair…
And wheelchair ramps were made legally required in many places.
I heard that in the South every carbonated beverage is a Coke. However, I don’t understand how this works practically. If you wanted a Sprite, would you order a Coke-Sprite?
Gluten free pasta exists.
Also love the idea of having to quickly drink your hot drink before your straw becomes a limp noodle (literally) 😂
But no one is going to make straws to serve only 1% of the population. Accessibility features need to become mainstream (or forced into effect by the government) for it to actually benefit people with disabilities.
Samsung had my favorite version of the slide phone with the Samsung Epic 4G Touch Galaxy 2.
