(I would assume being so long that it is paid on some level, but I wasn't able to find anything.)

Yeah. About 13.5k in the first year, rises up to about 17.2k in the third year of your training. Might actually be more by now and may depend on your location

As a german I'm always so surprised that of all the countries they could move to, american trans people wanna go to germany. I just don't really get it.

From the side bar:

One rule: if you visit the forum homepage, you must post something.

I think this is pretty clear. Of course this will be enforced ruthlessly, we have secret agents stationed outside of your window with binoculars. /j

First of all, how the fuck is someone burning themselves an act of terrorism? Also

Behind the scenes though, according to congressional testimony reported here for the first time, the FBI maintains a program specifically for combating anarchists, called the Anarchist Extremism Program. In Senate testimony, the FBI says that it had increased its targeting of anarchist “violent extremists” across the country by using both human and technical sources to spy on them. Since the nationwide protests after the death of George Floyd in 2020, the bureau has tasked field offices to tap confidential informants to develop better intelligence about anarchists. In 2021, the FBI more than doubled its domestic terrorism caseload; and Wray told Congress that arrests of what the bureau calls “anarchist violent extremists” were more numerous in 2020-2021 (the months around January 6) than in the three previous years combined.

Of course.

I think PDA includes things like, idk if you can relate to this, as a kid when you planned to clean your room, but then your mother told you you have to clean your room and suddenly you just couldn't do it anymore. That's not real autonomy, your behaviour is still in some way dictated by others, just opposite to their expectations and it made both you and your mom unhappy.

In that case, an android fork like Lineage OS is probably what you want. Installing linux is possible on some phones but I have yet to see a phone that shipped with something other than linux that has its entire hardware supported by linux, because oems cobble the phones together weirdly and then fix it with weird proprietary driver shit that's often bespoke to the phone. And even on linux phones that ship with linux it has to be said that the desktop environments and applications are not really there yet.

Yeah, I predict this will absolutely lead to more lawyering bs, or at the very least won't decrease the number of posts and debates about this stuff. I think the post that made you add this already was lawyering bs of someone who doesn't come across to me as confused, but rather as willfully ignorant for the purpose of making you add this.

As they say themselves, they have been given multiple explanations, by multiple people, and yet they keep repeating the same lines that have explicitly been replied to & claiming they are confused. Either this is, as I believe, bs or adding yet another explanation to the wiki ain't gonna help.

Either they really want you to add a word list so that then someone can link that tumblr post about word lists again, or they're trying to make you create loopholes, because as they said, they continue to believe that they can use these words without it being ableist.

I will admit that this is not a charitable interpretation and that my opinion of them is also coloured by them assuming I'm neurotypical because I disagree with them. The accusation that mods are neurotypical or the rules were made by neurotypicals is brought up every time this discourse pops up and I'm sick of it and I think they should know better.

Nobody gives a shit about the us's national security here and the us gov certainly does not give a fuck about anyone's mental health.

I'm a lot more worried about us companies spying for the us government (you might wanna look at the permissions google or facebook use) than I am about apps spying for china. China can't touch me, why the fuck would I care?

The state department that you are parroting is the one scaremongering. They're doing this because american capital can't have it that someone's making a shit load of cash with a data selling social media platform and for once it's not them, this is what this is about.

I have seen this cited as if it includes or implies a list of banned words which negatively describe a person's intelligence

I think it does imply that certain words or phrases shouldn't be used, yes. One says a thing or an action is stupid or someone is stupid for something they did when that thing or action is bad, undesirable and inferior to better available things or actions. This usage of the word is saying that stupid means "bad, undesirable and inferior to others". What does that mean for people with lesser intelligence who get told that they're stupid?

Another point is that often those words are used to describe nazis and fascists in general and not only does it suck for people with lesser intelligence to get associated with nazis, since nazis usually also have their genocidal eugenicist ideas about disabled people, calling a nazi stupid is also blaming disabled people for their own oppression instead of putting the blame where it belongs.

Lastly, and that's not a justification for the rule, but rather a benefit I see personally, is that the usage of those words in that way is technically inacurate and by disallowing that people have to phrase their disagreements/negative feelings towards something in more precise language.

I'm also confused because I am almost certain that the moderators have seen and ignored uses of these words

There are multiple reasons for that.

  1. We just don't see everything
  2. Sometimes it's just about picking ones battles. I don't have the spoons to have a debate with everyone who uses such a word and I think we do owe people to talk to them before using mod actions, because this site here is probably the first place they've ever been where people give a shit about ableism, so how are they supposed to know. Also, I think mod actions aren't known to avoid drama, they just make the drama happen in another forum.
  3. When someone is venting and in a bad place mentally, reminding them that a word, that is outside of raddle probably commonly used in their day to day life, is not allowed here, instead of offering support is unlikely to lead to good outcomes.
