  “completely degrading” - sounds like an oxymoron… “degraded” means it’s partially functioning, not completely working but not completely broken either.

  You seem to be shifting the goal posts. None of the articles your linked to are about deficiencies in the ADA - in fact, your first link says this about it:

  This act was so influential in improving challenges experienced by PWDs that its anniversary is celebrated annually through Disability Pride parades; these parades are typically held in large cities such as New York City and Chicago.

  I never claimed America does more for disabled people than other countries. There are a lot of ways that we fall short. But when it comes to the ADA, it exceeds everything I’ve seen in foreign countries, and I’m proud of it.

  I also understand that Denmark has laws that require a certain level of accessibility in public buildings. I never denied that, but I still maintain that their requirements are not equivalent to the ADA. So for, they seem to be inferior.

  This article makes it sound like Denmark does, on occasion, flip the bird to disabled people. Can you share any counter-evidence that shows Denmark has a law that’s equivalent to the ADA?

  The core issue is political and structural. Responsibility for disability policy is spread across multiple ministries with no coordination, long-term vision, or accountability mechanisms. People with disabilities and their families navigate a patchwork system that often fails to meet even basic needs.

  This affects every aspect of daily life. Healthcare access remains unequal. Public transport and housing are not fully accessible. Participation in cultural and democratic life, including voting, is limited for too many. Even Denmark’s emergency preparedness plans overlook people with disabilities, leaving those who rely on electricity, medicine, or personal assistance uncertain about how they would manage during a crisis.

  Your attitude is off putting, by the way. I’m glad most people I’ve met in Europe are more pleasant than you’re being.

  True, but ignoring those old buildings, how many countries in Europe and Asia have laws like the ADA for new buildings? And sidewalks?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You really don’t realize how much had been done to support people who have difficulties walking, hearing, etc. until you travel in Europe or Asia with someone who needs assistance. Walkable cities are great if you can walk, but you don’t notice the lack of wheelchair ramps unless you need them yourself or are traveling with someone who needs them.

  As an American, the ADA is definitely something to be proud of.

  Only suspect?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And they’re getting away with it because they understand how the legal system works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like those schools were successful in teaching them how our legal system works and how to use it to advance their own goals. Seems like the only thing they didn’t learn is ethics, but their understanding of our legal system is pretty solid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨genius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People think private pilots are rich because airplanes are expensive. They’re not - they might be upper-middle class (with a mortgage and other debt) but most have to budget their aviation spending. Truly wealthy people don’t fly their own planes, they hire pilots and crew, and probably have no idea what a Jesus nut looks like.

  That said, this is obviously satire/bait.

  If they have video of you leaving the note, then they also have video of the truck being parked, sitting there without being hit, and the owner returning without any real incident.

  And from experience, the cops would tell the owner of the truck to contact their insurance, and if pushed, the most they’d do is file a report. There wouldn’t be any investigation, especially without evidence of damage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP has a realization⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  every scientist on planet earth is wrong about basic physics

  Until someone comes up with a unified theory that works for both Newtonian mechanics and quantum mechanics I’d say this is true - we’re all wrong about basic physics.

  I’m saying the Lemmy post (“FACTS”) is satire, not the Twitter post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FACTS⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your post is satire

  Seems like everyone here understands that this post is satire, including the OP. They wouldn’t have posted it to the shitpost community if they thought otherwise.

  you stupid fuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While true, those companies all have solid revenue streams that aren’t directly related to AI. If a bubble pops they’ll all suffer, but all of them were profitable before the AI boom and can survive without it. It’s very different from the dot bubble because that was driven by speculation and many companies weren’t making any profit back then.

  Even without monitoring, it probably has a unique IP/subnet that shows the traffic came from the ISS. And the financial institution is definitely recording IPs.

  This argument is usually followed by the racist dog whistle “it’s unfortunately our demographic”

  I’ve also seen it followed up by criticism about American healthcare, specifically mental health.

  No, it’s a little more nuanced than that.

  No, check ebay if you don’t believe me. It’s not exactly plentiful, but there are enough contractors with several hundred/thousand feet left over from big jobs who are selling it for wholesale or less. It’s not like you can recycle it, and splicing is unreliable without tools that cost as much as a car, so if you’ve got a partial spool you need to get rid of you’ll probably have to sell it at a loss.

  Elevation (really the force of gravity) has an effect on time, so that’s technically only true at sea level.
