I’m having to reauthenticate in safari and wefwef every time I load a new page. Furthermore, the login is frequently failing.

You can donate directly to Ukraine through the governments preferred channels here, or here if you’d like some choice in what your money buys (active campaigns change with time).

You’re spot on with noting that everyone should have a right to their own opinion, regardless of their race. This applies to everyone, including the hypothetical “black guy” you mentioned. No one should be discredited based on their ethnicity or for holding a viewpoint that deviates from any presumed norm.

Your other points, however, seems to conflate the objectives of affirmative action with racism. Affirmative action is not about advantaging certain races at the expense of others; instead, it’s about leveling the playing field that has been historically skewed against certain minority groups. It’s not “racism you do like,” but rather an attempt to correct systemic disparities.

Let’s look at your example about state universities with a 30% minority population in the state but only a 1% representation on campus. Affirmative action aims to bring that 1% closer to the 30% to better reflect the demographics of the society the university serves. It doesn’t necessarily mean that admission standards are lower for these groups; instead, it recognizes that these individuals have likely faced systemic barriers that could disadvantage them in the admissions process.

In an ideal world, we wouldn’t need affirmative action. But we’re not there yet. For now, it acts as a necessary tool to combat systemic issues that can’t be fixed overnight. It’s not about promoting one race over another but promoting fairness and equal opportunity.

@johnson_waters The decision is so unpopular that they’re censoring users, which is preferable to accommodating their users to them. Despicable!

@vaprzThe Fediverse is definitely the way to go for true freedom and inclusivity. Are there any other Reddit horror stories out there? Share your experiences

@Gamers_Mate Reddit’s disregard for accessibility is truly appalling. Blind moderators are treated as an afterthought, with no timeline for accessible moderation tools. It’s clear that u/spez and Reddit prioritize their own agenda over the needs of disabled users. Shameful.

Fuck u/spez

Another technique you can try is the “triangle method.” This involves shifting your gaze every few seconds from one eye, to the other, and then to the mouth or nose, creating an invisible triangle. This mimics natural eye movement and can help reduce the intensity of direct eye contact.

We’ll see how well this ages if the fediverse goes mainstream. Looking promising so far with international grassroots and government funding.

He only cares about money. Fuck u/spez
