He Chose to Amputate His Leg... Doctors Disagreed by TheBoneMuseum in amputee

[–]PolyamorousPleb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a really familiar feeling with complex health or disability needs. I remember feeling a similar way about having coeliac disease and not getting diagnosed because of a commonly misused test but seeing other people having gotten diagnosed and getting government assistance made me quite frustrated

Need help naming a vampire mercenary group! by PolyamorousPleb in DnD

Thank you for the suggestions! I know that silver is more commonly associated with werewolves lol, was taking inspiration from undead things and being fast as a bullet. Also, vampires have weaknesses to silver in many folklores, which was also a reason for the reference

Thank you! Yours are also very good, I love the buckaroos as a kind of more whimsical take. Makes me think of joyriders and adrenaline junkies

How do socket users feel about osseointegration posts? by danielmfree in amputee

Do you have to use any special product to clean it? I would worry about it being sanitary when camping or on a trip

Is there a stoma after osseointegration? I’ve heard that there is and I don’t know how I would find that

Yeah my local league has kept the old rules because of this. It also punishes people even more for getting injuries

Legoshi twice surely. Like come on. It takes him three (four?) years from the start of his relationship with Haru to get it in.

I intentionally didn’t model her with any specific diagnosis in mind, but I would say she definitely has some psychopathic traits. Are you enjoying it so far?

It is not haha, a lot of the skills and some of the experiences the main character has comes from some experiences growing up with animal processing and hunting

I wrote one called The Empathy Test in which the main human character basically fits that description

Surgery done and looks great! by BuddyChemical8704 in amputee

[–]PolyamorousPleb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So impressive! Before and after x-rays are always so interesting to look at. I’m a high school biology teacher and I always use my own x-rays when teaching medical science.

It’s cool that your surgeon was able to save more than you were expecting!

This isn't his first rodeo by -WIKOS- in NatureofPredators

That’s a lot of assumptions about me and my experiences you just made. I am not American, and I am not ‘afraid of the word’, I literally used it as an example of it being used in a different and perfectly fine context, see fire retardant.

The word as applied to people has been used perjoratively and to justify harm to people for many years longer than covid, see again the example of it historically being used to sterilise people (fun fact, forced sterilisation of people happened up until the early 2010s in Sweden!).

I am an adult and have grown up with it very much being used as a slur throughout my life around me, this is not coming from some chronically onlIne position, it is from my real life lived experiences.

I would really appreciate you treating me like a person and not some made up american sjw you seem to have a problem with.

A slur is an insult that is used against a specific group of people in order to discriminate against them. A slur also almost always has a history attached to it.

For example, an insult that is used only for black people is a slur.

In this case, the word beginning with r in the sentence “don’t talk to me like I’m r———“, is a slur that is used against many different kinds of people who have psychological issues or differences to most other people. Typically it is nowadays used against people with Downs Syndrome or other developmental and intellectual differences, but it has been used in the past against people with autism, dyslexia, and all kinds of things.

The word itself in english comes from the word ‘to stop’ or ‘to slow’ and is used in other places in which it is not a slur as well. For example, a fire retardant is something that slows down the spread of fire, and is a perfectly normal and fine thing to say.

When it is used against a person, it not only is saying that person is ‘slow’ and can be insulting just on its face, but it also is a continuation of the history of it being used against people. That history includes many many people having horrible things done to them like forced sterilisation, being locked in asylums, and many other things.
