- Comment on Disability Charity Sacks Employee for Palestine Protest, Citing ‘Brand Reputation’ 3 days ago:
Never heard of this Charity „Sense“.
But they‘re going about this in a completely bad way.
Disability rights includes rights for palestinians. Israels genocide has been a mass disabling event of people in Gaza.
The one can‘t be decoupled from the other.
Free Palestine. Abolish Ableism.

This shouldn’t be tolerated.
And the law should have mandated an accessible explanation for how the price is determined based on your data. - Comment on Inside you are two bricks 3 days ago:

- Comment on why 4 days ago:
vaiselle is actually inhereting its gender in an unrelated manner.
It comes from Latin vāscellum which is a Neuter noun.
But the specific form that gave rise to vaiselle was the collective plural of that noun vāscella.
sourceAnd it’s a common pattern that in vulgar latin, (what gave rise to french), collective plural nouns were interpreted as feminine. I think this is a general tendency and unrelated to the noun’s meaning. The reason often given is that neuter plural endings and feminine singular endings were the same in Latin.
BTW; this is also the latin route of the english word vessel.
(PS: I agree with you that gender in language is problematic and I prefer non gendered as well).

Yep. Anyone can “edit” wikipedia.
But the vast majority of edits by new users are reverted within a day.
I say this as someone with thousands of wikipedia edits myself, I talk from experience.
Most of the pages (especially politicised ones), have a couple senior users with vested interests continually monitoring it and changing back anything they don’t agree with.

It’s a potential one. Rather people flag anything that could be a conflict of interest, whether they think it is or not. Than be silent about it.

Upvote for disclaimers like this. We need more people who openly share potential conflicts of interest:)

To be completely fair. Banana peels are edible. So sometimes it could be nice to have them clean?
But in all seriousness, fuck useless plastic packaging.
