This is the future we deserve. Everyone wears a ball gown, everyone can fuck anyone who's down. Transhumanist mushroom future is the future we need.

If it's what I'm thinking of, it's called a lift gate. They're pretty cool. But her chair is about 450 pounds, so it tends to sit the frame down on the tires when you use one of those because of where the weight is, sadly. :/

I'll keep an eye out for both of those! Googled em and they're pretty good sized it looks like. Her chair is pretty tall, but I wonder if it would fit if we took the headrest off.

Yeah, I'm one of those. If credit checks like that were instituted there is absolutely zero chance I could have enrolled. My bank wouldn't give me 500 dollars to get my transmission fixed, much less the tens of thousands I need for a bachelor's. The solution is the nationalization of education. Fuck this nonsense. Public education from K-post doc. Let the rich have their Harvards and whatever, but we need good state schools and a new crop of federal colleges popping up all over rhe country, in addition to community colleges. For free. No questions asked. Do you make absolutely no money whatsoever? Study here. Are you literally Jeff Bezos? Who cares. Study here.

We also need to get back to the way things were a century ago or more, where students could just decide they wanted to know a thing, and then go learn that thing. No need to declare a major, or even enroll for a degree. Just go learn the things you want to learn. Education should be it's own reward, even if we also need it for other things. I'm not saying do away with degrees, just make it possible for people to audit classes, or use the resources of their local, public, universities.

My mom is disabled and uses a power chair (that does not fold. Medicare won't pay for sensible things like that). Our choices were saving up to buy a wheelchair van, which is so far outside of our means that it may as well cost a million dollars, or buy a pick up truck and a set of ramps. We searched for months and months for anything small, and could not find it. Eventually went with a Nissan frontier, a 2012, so the larger model. I'd kill for one of these little things. Would be perfect for us.

He wasn't even really a social democrat, to be honest. He bowed to the pressure of the socialist party at the time to prevent an actual fucking revolution (even if it would have been unsuccessful). Fdr understood that actual socialism would come knocking at the door if he didn't capitulate. Clearly the best president we've had (in economic terms) in the mostly modern era, but he wasn't as progress as people believe.

Edit

Also, tf is a "left" communist in this context? That's not generally a term used, and when it is, it's normally to point out the distinction between anarchists and Marxists, as in Lenin's "left-wing communism."

Is this chart claiming FDR was an anarcho-communist? Because... No. LMAO

Okay, serious question... Is lemmy supposed to be pronounced like the contraction of let+me? I've been pronouncing it like... Limb+E.

INSANE British guy claims to be king, goes FULL KAREN on the French, claims swallows carry coconuts!

So, I don't really play much, tbh. But that's just me. I go through, like, phases where I play video games a lot for several weeks, and then don't touch a game for several months. What I can say is, with the exception of TOTK on switch, the only thing I use is the SD. It's the best game (or really, tech in general) purchase I've ever made. I'm poor as a MF, and I'd make that purchase over again if I had the option. Absolutely zero regrets. It's perfect, and I love that I have it when I want it.

Let's not be fooled, dude got AC in the van. Lol.

No kill I!

I mean, good lesson for the kid. Cat mom sprang into action.
