- Comment on May not be the right place but here it goes. One of my brothers passes or get extremely tired if he sees porn. Even a sex scene in a movie he has to go lay down. Is there something wrong with him? 2 days ago:
“Hey bro,let’s watch porn together. Nothing wrong with that, right. Wait, where are you going? There must be something medically wrong with him. I should ask Lemmy.”

- Comment on Is it wrong to not have a disabled child solely to avoid forcing the child to suffer their whole life? 1 week ago:
That’s an incredibly complicated question with no single answer. If you’re looking to delve into this area then I’d say your interest will take you to reading phiosophy and medical ethics. If you are interested, then this is one of the best podcasts for medical ethics that I’ve found.
As for your question, it’s probably best broken down to at least 2 initial questions:
- Who decides what is “disability”?
Very poor eyesight or cataracts used to be debilitating. Now anyone with access to basic healthcare would not even consider mentioning those as health problems. Downs syndrome used to be a teerrible diagnosis, now people with Downs syndrome mostly have a good quality of life. Many deaf people would not consider themselves disabled at all. Does it matter if someone is in a wheelchair, and is happy, fulfilled and contributing to society? Is losing a part of a finger a disability? How about losing a whole finger, or 3 fingers?
- Who decides what is “suffering”?
Plenty of fully able people are suffering. Plenty of medically limited people are perfectly happy and fulfilled. A person who has the maximum intellectual intellectual capacity of a 2 year old and no ability to communicate, but who smiles and laughs and claps could be said to be happy and not suffering. If a pregnancy scan shows a baby is going to be born without a foot, can the parents or doctors decide that’s a life not worth living? Even if someone is suffering, how much suffering is too much? If a person is in endless pain, severely limited function and unable to survive off a ventilator; then can parents or doctors decide that’s not enough suffering to end their life?
There are loads more questions that will come up. How do you even find out your child is going to be disabled? Is it reasonable for everyone to ask for genetic tests before the baby is born, and abort if they don’t like the answer? Just because we have a ability to test or treat a condition, doesn’t mean we should use those tools without considering why. Your question also is particularly about having a child, and you need to seperate the suffering of the child from the inconvenience and suffering of the parents/family.
This is a very deep rabbit hole to go down and it ends up in all sorts of places (eugenics, euthenasia, abortion, resource allocation, the value of a life, etc).

Why are companies so awkward and dumb and “corporate”. Just lean into it.
“We know it can be fun to speculate and people are excited about whatever information they can get about the next Switch; but we’ve got a lot of amazing things we’re working on and it will be worth the wait”.

- Comment on Marvel Rivals - Season 1 Trailer 1 week ago:
A lot of characters are short range or melee.
There are a bunch of flying/gliding/wall climbing characters, but a lot of characters don’t have tools to deal with enemies who are not grounded.
The game has been fun, but I’ve given it up now mainly because of balance and match making issues. >80% of the games I play are completely one-sided. One team will never be able to touch the objective or will be completely confined to the spawn point. Even if I’m on the winning team, that’s just no fun.
- Comment on "Free" Speech Absolutist™ 2 weeks ago:
Or even talking about shit like this? Musk is living rent free in a lot of people’s heads. The way to make him irrelevant is to treat him as such. Making a fuss about everything he says, gives him undue importance.

I’ve tried responding with something different. The response from the other person is always the same anyway so your response to this question doesn’t matter anyway.
- Comment on I told my wife Nightbitch was just Office Space for women and now she's mad at me. AITA? 2 weeks ago:
Not sure about passing judgememt on being an asshole, but the title really makes me wonder how you draw that connection at all. Men’s gender expectation is to be a drone at work and women’s expectation is to be a drone at home…so these movies are related?
Nightbitch was going to be a decent commentary on the difficulties of motherhood and it starts to mention some of the underlying issues…and then it collapses into incredibly simplistic drivel in the third act and undermines everything good it did up to that point. I haven’t read the book, but this really made it seem like the author got fed up and just wanted to wrap things up with the simplest thing that came to her mind.

My 4 year old loves Super Mario Odyssey… But I have to play a lot of the game for him because he keeps getting stuck. But this is how it starts, he’ll get better quickly.

Celebrate that we are all weird and enjoy it. Forgive and reassure others for their weirdness so they do the same for you.
- Comment on What makes a video game triple A (AAA)? 3 weeks ago:
I hardly ever consider looking at AAA games. All my time is spent on indie games.
It’s the same with movies, music, books…the big corporations try to make a safe, mediocre, standard experience that will have the broadest appeal without taking risks. To find really good stuff, you need to look to creators who really care about the art (which is a lot more work and has higher risk of being boring, but higher potential for reward too).

I’m the same with committing to Linux completely.
Previously, my Apex Legends account with hundreds of hours and unlocks got banned for no reason, but I made a new account and played on. Then they banned Linux and I’ve never looked back.
Now I’m looking forward to not being able to play 2XKO as well.

Yeah there are a bunch of benefits you can claim from the government: www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/benefits-check/

- Comment on ohh ... 5 weeks ago:
This is hyperbole. Healthcare cost might be covered, but there are a lot more expenses with being sick. Social support and housing support in the UK is laughable. Good luck if you cant work because of disability. The hospital will keep you alive…and then discharge you to the street.
