The original title was “Brazilian 9/11 is 10 years old today”
Bdubs wasn't happy about that one.
We just know that there's no way benji is coming out of his twitter dives mentally unscathed. He has to have the psychological version of black lung.

It is their fault. They are not entitled to travel to those places. This attitude is what is going to make things worse.
But by all means, tell Native folks who are displaced by overtourism that it's not the tourist's fault. It'll go over really well.
INCLUSION!!!
Quote:I mean, this attitude is fucking gross and there are some weird examples of it in this thread.
You can dislike over-tourism and criticise the municipal greed of a place without resorting to bullshit like this.
Basically inferring that visitors to a city are a cancer if they don't live there full-time, incredibly dumb. Barcelona without tourism would be well and truly fucked. This is about over-tourism which isn't the individual fault of an innocent person who fancies visiting a city for a weekend.
Thordison wrote:Do you believe that folks are entitled to traveling to a place? If so, why?
I'm talking about overtourism. You can pretend the individuals have no agency if you want but that attitude will just lead to more resentment towards tourists.
By that logic people are justified to resent both legal and illegal immigrants.
You identify the problem (corpo and government mismanagement) but choose the most assholish approach possible.

Quote:The news that an American couple have deliberately set out to conceive a deaf baby has shocked many people both here and in the US. But it came as little surprise to me: I have been deaf all my life and fully understand why a deaf couple would want their child to be like them. In my family, I am the fourth generation to be deaf and a month ago my deaf husband, Noel Traynor, and I had a daughter, whom we have named Givona, who is also deaf.
I didn't know I was going to have a deaf child. I never asked to find out. I did consider approaching the foetal clinic, which might have been able to find out, but together we decided not to. Before I gave birth I didn't have any feelings that I wanted a hearing or deaf child - I just wanted my child to be healthy. I say that because, as part of the deaf community, I in no way see deafness as a disability, but rather as a way into a very rich culture. Which is one of the reasons I was delighted to learn when I gave birth that my baby was deaf.
Many papers have reported that the American lesbian couple, Sharon Duchesneau and Candy McCullough, are part of a "radical school of thought that believes deafness is a cultural identity not a handicap". In fact, it's not a radical school of thought at all. Having a shared language (sign) means we can be part of a culture with which we can all identify. We all share the same ways of life and values - like the same technology such as flashing lights in the home and text phones, as well as common beliefs, games, humour, history and poetry. Why would I not want my daughter to be part of that?
It was obvious, when I gave birth, that the hospital was concerned that our daughter would be deaf, and so tests were ordered immediately. We could tell they were worried about it - but for us, finding out that my daughter was deaf just the day after her birth was absolutely delightful because it meant I could start speaking sign language to her from the start.
"those silly nurses, they were so concerned that something might be wrong with my daughter, they were so sad that she would never be able to hear, I laughed right in their stupid faces! I'm so delighted and thrilled!!"

Quote:Merope’s advise now, a year after her daughter’s death is this.
“Ignore the advice and look everything up on the internet. Google like crazy, educate yourself, ask questions and, if you are unsure, insist on a second opinion, or a third. Remember that it’s entirely possible you will be “managed” and “reassured” but not told the full truth. We certainly weren’t.
Be aware that much care in hospitals is less thorough at weekends. And understand the damage done by the hierarchical, patrician system – everyone defers to the most senior consultant. If things seem to be going wrong: shout the ward down. In our case, the cost of not doing so was too great. We had such trust; we feel such fools.”

She is not totally wrong, but it sounds like she is using her daughter death to spout BS. (Is not the same as the deaf one, it looks).
I will admit that doesn’t disturb me so much that she has a pretty egotistical reaction about her daughter condition, but more how she isn’t self aware in how egotistical it is.
“My daughter is deaf, now she will be forced to learn sign language first. We have a lot of advantages when traveling abroad. ”
People can have this sort of awful and egoistic thoughts all the time, but usually they keep them to themselves and try to reflect on it. She did neither.
"My daughter died."
Wow, that's absolutely delightful.

I always wonder if sign language is actually a proper translation.
It seems like a very easy way to create cheap fakes without many people being able to find out.
You could just have someone wave their arms and spell: "Donald Trump wants to kill all deaf people" and rig an election.

They do come up with not always flattering gestures to shorten famous people’s names rather than spelling them out every time, like Donald Trump is a flapping toupee:

There is probably a good conversation to be had about how tourism affects the locals of a city. But you aren't going to get that on Resetera. I doubt most of them have traveled anywhere outside of their state let alone country.

Then why overreact for something like this? Unless, of course, Crunchyroll was already playing with the idea of phase out comments sections but didn’t bother with an excuse until now.
Blaming the community for losing a feature (whenever was used or not) is always a scumbag move, specially if is understood that the perpetrators are outside that community.
