@Esplooges@euvitin0 I just find it strange how this stuff always gets bundled in w eugenics. Eugenics implies extermination and murder, but this is an advancement that allows people to live healthier lives. We’re not killing people w DS, we’re giving them an opportunity for a better life 😀
@Vabbi2003@Li33aaa I agree, especially since DS is kind of shown in the media as this stereotyped bubbly happy result of something going wrong. My sister is a ray of sunshine too, but it doesn’t take away from the reality of DS and I hope someday people get more education on it!
@DrewHuntsCoins@rosesforsue bc she has a diehard fan base that’s not only young but consumerist asf and will buy/listen to anything she drops without thinking too hard about it 😒 I don’t mind some of the Taylor songs but watching my diehard friends spend 500$ on Taylor merch and music sickens me (2/2)
@DrewHuntsCoins@rosesforsue I believe she’s responsible for the sloppification of pop. Pop used to be kind of corny regardless but it had a charm and now everything sounds like it’s trying to be a Taylor song they’re trying to replicate the success without realizing she’s pretty much only successful (1/2)
@beebetbetty@Li33aaa Exactly! If we lived in a world that wasn’t ableist maybe a world where we couldn’t “cure” disabilities it wouldn’t be a big deal, but the lack of infrastructure for disabled folks is abysmal and no one wants to change it 🤪
@Vabbi2003@Li33aaa Yup! DS is one of the things I’d never wish upon my kid, coming from someone who has a sister with DS. The shortened lifespan along with the health issues and the cognitive impairment makes it a hard life. It breaks my heart knowing my little sister will never be independent :(
@Li33aaa Precisely, it’s a spectrum. For some ppl w DS it’s not debilitating, but for my sister? She’ll never be able to live on her own, or drive. She was born w so many birth defects she spent the first five yrs of her life in and out of surgery. This is objectively a good thing.
@fatfabfeminist Two months ago I put my social security card somewhere… haven’t found it. WHERE IS IT? Not to mention the constant “what the fuck am I doing rn?”. Suddenly losing track of every single thing you just did and having to retrace to figure it out and no one knowing why ur frustrated
@wyatt_riot_69 My grandpa actually did this… twice 😭 the second time was a week after he almost lit his house on fire bc he kept forgetting he had already microwaved his food and he kept microwaving it. He also hit a cop car a week after. We were like sorry gramps it’s time for memory care!
@AceHainley I’m a pro at the pressure gauge… mainly bc there was a point in time my eyes changed prescriptions every 6 months… but now my brain doesn’t even register the sensation 😔 I kinda miss the eyeball tickle it made eye appointments a little more adrenaline filled
@istartedthebits@honeypuppydawg@zionvergence@starryyny I stg these tasters just lie. You could look up the tasting notes for a Kraft single and some jackass would be like “it has notes of fresh fruit and a slight pungent aroma” no bro it’s a Kraft single. It’s my plastic cheese, for my artery clogging burger, not special.
@honeypuppydawg@zionvergence@starryyny This apple discourse is so intriguing 🤔 like if this is accurate why why would they allow it to be worse? my dad said red delicious was like THEEE Apple way back. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it whaat
@zionvergence@starryyny This is what my boomer father says, he refuses to eat them now but when he was a kid they were apparently his favorite. I refuse to believe it, there’s just no way considering it’s one of the OG apple cultivators uh uh noooope it always tasted that way dad u just were a child
