"Piracy is not theft, literally, by definition. You're allowed to believe they're just as bad as each other if you want to but they are literally not the same thing. Theft removes property from another, piracy creates a copy of another's property.\n\nPiracy is copyright infringement, making a copy of something you do not own the rights to copy. The front page of reddit is at nearly all times full of pirated material and by viewing it on a web browser you too are committing an act of piracy. Right now one of the top posts is a picture of a piece of artwork that was photographed and uploaded without permission, that's copyright infringement, if you saw that image it's because your browser downloaded a copy of it locally to your computer, that's copyright infringement. In most cases of copyright infringement (piracy) most reasonable people would not feel that a crime has been committed, this is *not* the case with theft.\n\nIf you want to feel that downloading a movie is morally the same as stealing it from a store that was planning on selling it, you are welcome to feel that way.

"You, and a bunch of young people on the internet agreed to that. Piracy is theft, it just is a \"less bad\" version of theft.\n\nI pirated the shit out of games movies and especially books when I was young and broke. I never deluded myself into believing it wasn't theft.\n\nWhat does it matter? This dumb insistence that piracy isn't theft keeps getting repeated on reddit. If you decide to pirate something, are you so simple that you can somehow convince yourself that semantics matter? Who are you trying to justify it to? Do you need society's approval?\n\nIt does not matter how shitty an industry is, how much money they make, how inconvenient it is to get legitimately. Pirating is an immoral act by the standards of most philosophies. Feel bad for a minute, and tell yourself you will stop or make it up to them when you can afford it.\n\nI don't lose any sleep over my past torrenting any more than I do over swiping a few chicken nuggets mid-shift when I worked at McDonald's.

"That’s the only book I’ve ever stolen. It seemed appropriate.",

"Eh, you're arguing semantics.\n\nLanguages evolve. Many people, if not most, feel that possession of digital content you don't have a right to is theft. Most likely, the definition of \"theft\" will change at some point to encompass the new meaning. \n\nAs someone who uses \"literally\" in a manner that would have been frowned upon 10 years ago, I'd expect you to understand the shifting tide of language.

"*You wouldn't steal a car*",
"Wait, so they get the books outside everytime the store closes and get them back inside when it opens? Why?",
"Perhaps rather than making an exemption for cached copies because of their technological necessity, we should instead consider what that necessity tells us about the way information must necessarily be treated to continue progressing technologically the way we have. \n\nThe idea of copyright in and of itself is ultimately unsustainable in a world that continues to be connected by the internet (or whatever succeeds it) as we see it.

"Probably they don't have a used book market. Buy discounted books, flea market books, free books, it's 50/50 at Goodwill or maybe books at one store and sell it to another used book stores. Why, so I can get store credit at the particular book store or some small amount of money to cash out. Manga is really good. Paper back romance and old sci-fI books are good sale for older people. You have to buy things that seemed salable.",
"Piracy is not the same as stealing someone's wallet. But people think that because that is true, it means there are no consequences. I've pirated a lot of shit that otherwise I would have never even known about. Many of these things I've gone on to buy legitimately. It doesn't justify the piracy, because there are systems predicated upon people trading usable currency for goods and services, and these systems keep our society functioning. \n\nSince I'm broke, the idea of giving the appropriate party the established price for what they're distributing is irrelevant. They're going to get 0 dollars either way. It simply doesn't exist for them to have. \n\nMaybe one day I get the money together to officially own said product, and buy it like I've done many times before. But I still got something for nothing. And moreover, if I go and brag about how I got something expensive for free and encourage others to do the same all the time, I'm letting the content creator know that their product is not worth money, and that they should focus their attention and resources elsewhere. And they will. \n\nI didn't sent anyone to the poorhouse. I didn't stick a knife in someone's face, or grab something and dash out of a store. But there's still an impact. I have no idea how you can tell yourself that the inputs you introduce to a system can't have any effect because you don't feel bad about it. ",

Every \"authority\" and reasonable person defines that as a form of theft. \"copyright infringement\" is a form of theft. \n\nThe people who insist piracy is not theft, or somehow even a moral act, are weak minds who have to have some flimsy justification. I ask again, why do you need to justify it? If you pirate a game, I'm not going to condemn you. That act is between you, the license holder, and your personal honor. \n\nAll the justifications are silly. Do what you decide to do without bullshit excuses and justifications. I don't think piracy has caused me or society enough harm to justify me getting pissy about it. Weak minds using dumb rationalizations annoy me, that is the only reason I debate the topic. \n\n",

It had to be stopped abruptly, otherwise we simply wouldn’t have the music industry we have today.

Hiragana and Katakana are alphabets with phonetic representations, and can be grouped into \"kana\". When learning Kanji, they will have kana to show pronunciation. Hiragana is usually used for native Japanese words, and Katakana is usually used for foreign loanwords and foreign names. In the image, the text is カイロ・レン. This is in Katakana, and in romaji (the Japanese phonetic system converted to the roman alphabet) it would be Kairo Ren.",

"Sucks that dissenting opinions get shot down so harshly, but really if they had come up with a reason to keep the mask it would have never worked with the themes of this story. SPOILER Kylo had to lose the mask so that we, as the audience, could see his emotional turmoil through his actor's facial expressions. His doubt about bombing Leia's ship and all his many conversations with Rey would have been dramatically worse scenes if he was still masked. This movie was at least partially the director trying to make Star Wars have a stronger narrative focus and less focus on cool masks, laser swords, and X-Wings. Me personally, it seems very difficult since Star Wars was never built to support that kind of story. Anyway we got 1.5 movies with him masked, that's more than Darth Maul ever got. Also don't worry, Disney will keep putting Ol'Dathy the money maker into their movies, like with Rogue One. If you need cool masks wait until he shows up in Solo. Hell, Boba Fett too.",

In how being a hero means not dying needlessly but living to help others. In how admitting and confronting your mistakes can be more important than fixing them. And in how focusing on the past can keep us from changing for the needs of the future. \n\nIt’s okay, I know a lot of people who don’t like movies that make them think or which don’t have predictable plot twists at predictable intervals. There are plenty of other movies for people who like that. But there’s a lot more that goes into making a movie “good” than simply meeting your predictable expectations. ",
"You're right it was a really good movie. I loved the part when Leia became superman. And the part where Snoke was split into 2 after a few minutes of screen time. I love the part that there are barely even any characters left - let alone any Jedi - the main thing people like star was for. Oh, and I almost forgot bombs dropping \"down\" in space with no gravity source nearby, that was amazing too. The absolute trainwreck of a character that Rose is was spectacular. The casino planet was awesome too.\n\n/s",

There is a planet below the battle and even if there weren’t Newton’s laws of motion state that as long as any force at all pushed those bombs out of the resistance ships those bombs would continue “falling” in the direction of the push.\n\nHe casino planet was a specific call back to Lando’s skycloud city with parts of the prequels mixed in. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.

"Alright, what about superman Leia (and for that matter, not killing her on screen)? What about the lack of characters?

"Those are fair critiques. The reason they didn’t push the story forward, I think, was a conscious effort to flesh out character motivation and growth. If too much plot was also put in then the movie would have been even longer than it was (and it was probably a bit too long). Poe grows as a character (wether one likes that growth or not he has an arc of hot headed pilot to resistance leader who takes fewer chances). Kylo and Ren have an incredible growth in their familial tension that is arguably better than even luke and Vader’s (your family is nobody, let me be your family) and much much better than the conflict/tension between Anakin and obi-wan with the roles reversed with Kylo being an Anakin-like the older Jedi trying to turn a younger less experienced Rey as obi-wan/padme.\n\nPhasma is better than boba fet to the extent either boba or phasma matters (and they probably could have cut trying too beef her character up because she’s there to sell toys I guess). \n",

"How about this. It was a decent movie but a terrible 2nd movie of a trilogy.",
"Yeah you misread that",
"Eh, not really. The point /u/GargamelJubilex is trying to make is that the Emperor from the original trilogy is just as badly explained of a character as Snoke. You can have the opinion that Snoke is a dumb character that's not explained well (I agree with this, actually) but you have to admit the the Emperor is just as shitty of a character. /u/Cn_mets argument that you can make a shitty character and don't have to explain them if there are no movies before that doesn't really hold water.",
"Regardless of opinions on the movie, I audibly chuckled at this comeback when I read it. Good job.",
"Wrong.",
"why? ",
"Awesome drawing. Just too bad it's of the most limp-dicked villain of the most limp-dicked, cold, soulless, and boring star wars trilogy to date. :/. Still, great artwork. I just despised the force awakens and last Jedi.",
"While I agree that Snoke's character should merit some explanation, there are plenty of ways that he could still be explained in the third movie. I think it is odd to have to wait for an explanation of his character, but then again, we had to do that for the Emperor with the prequels.\n\nAlso, you're assuming that Yoda knows everything, which he almost certainly does not, even that statement \"Always two there are\" is just wrong, and has been shown to be wrong. Sidious, Maul and Tyrannus all existed at the same time. Sidious, Tyrannus and Asaj Ventress all existed at the same time. Who's to say Sidious didn't have yet another apprentice in Snoke? Who's to say Plageious didn't have another apprentice in Snoke? Who's to say Snoke is even a sith at all? A major point of this movie was anyone can use the force, not just specially trained people or Skywalkers. Maybe Snoke just discovered his force powers, is self taught and took advantage of the power vacuum left by the emperor's death? Now I agree with you that the third movie really should explain these things, if it doesn't, yeah, super shitty writing.\n\nBut I think a huge issue with this is JJ Abrams' fault. He set up all these mysteries with no plan to actually solve them. He almost purposefully tied Rian Johnson's hands with all these mystery boxes. Now I don't necessarily agree with Rian's decisions, I can see why he did it, he didn't want to be limited by JJ's obnoxious mystery setups and just threw them away to make the film he wanted. Did TLJ have its issues? Yes. Is it any worse than \"let's not explain the emperor\" ESB and ROTJ, or \"let's just retread ANH\" TFA? I don't necessarily think so.",
"Oh wow. Did you not know that the “prequels” were actually made after the original trilogy? From the audiences perspective in 1981 the “emperor” is almost completely unexplained before an ignominious death.",
"I like the mask but personally don't enjoy his voice. I find it kind of hard to understand and [to me] sounds like a bad voice changer people use on the internet.\n\nBut that might just be because I hear it a lot playing games online",

"man dude,I think Kylo-ren is like my new favorite character! Just a kid who is trying extra hard to be like his idol, and falling into the trap which all young men fall into- of living your life thinking you have to be exactly like your hero, only to realize that you look like a ridiculous insecure autist.\n He even went so far as wearing a mask without understanding the reason for which Vader wore his. The scene where Snoke calls him a boy reminded me so much of when I was younger and people called me out on my ridiculous habits. I hope in the next one they show how he realizes he is an entire force of new evil all his own. ",
"It will happen (if it hasn't already. The tech already exists; it's just a matter of writing a program.) ",
"Fair points. \n\nOh yeah, there was also the force video chat 😂 having to resort to that trope to move the story ahead is pretty weak writing. Magic fairy dust video chat - which was apparently made possible by Snoke but also happened after his death. \n\nI feel like although some character development happened, there is too many things fundamentally wrong at this point to even fix. The trilogy wasn't even written all together. The films are being written separately. That alone explains most of the retardation that's going on. ",
"All of Star Wars is basically what you would get if you asked a preschooler to explain the plot of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” to someone whose never read it. I’m resigned to incomprehensible plot.",

"> No, you were expecting the same thing Po Dameron was expecting: dramatic heroics, last-minute redemptions, and an improbable but decisive military victory by the rebels.\n\nThis is the first I've heard of this - I think the vast majority expected this movie to shadow ESB, and therefore feature a major rebel defeat.\n\nI think Last Jedi was pretty terrible, but your list of projections here don't at all describe why.\n\n> Instead, you got a lesson in how sometimes it’s not about destroying what you hate, but saving what you love.\n\nThis was, perhaps, the worst scene in all of Star Wars. Perhaps just behind the \"sand\" courtship scene...\n\n>It’s okay, I know a lot of people who don’t like movies that make them think\n\nIt's cool you found this movie so challenging. I didn't find it very profound at all, but to each their own.\n\n> But there’s a lot more that goes into making a movie “good” than simply meeting your predictable expectations.\n\nYeah, like a good story? Or interesting and consistent characters? Nice strawman, though...",
"We kinda broke Japan during WWII.",
"> So there are like one sith and no jedi (1 if you count Rey) left in the entire star wars universe.\n\nYou forgot the part where the two main bad guys are not at all intimidating and were made out to be jokes in TLJ. I can't wait for Rey to beat Kylo again, like she did in her first ever lightsaber fight.",
"He was very easy to understand in TFA, but I think they purposefully muffled it in TLJ to make it more of a joke and that he should ditch it. Too bad - he was cool looking as hell..",
"It's a hell of a lot better than The Force Awakens. ",
"What setup? The Force Awakens was garbage. ",
"idk if you heard but, kylo doesn't wear a helmet now..",
"Yeah it's 6', battery operated and has a machine washable helmet and everything. \n",

"After TFA Star Wars fans: This is just the same as the first star wars movie, it's not original at all!\n\nAfter TLJ Star Wars fans: I hate that this was different! Why isn't it more like TFA?!?",
"A) Leia is Lukes twin sister. Whether you liked the depiction or wanted it to happen differently if you haven't been waiting 30 years for her to show force powers I dunno what to tell you. \n\nB) If you feel you have nothing to look forward to then that's you're cue that you're watching the wrong franchise. How do you think people felt when their hero Luke was stuck in papa-purgatory with one hand? They're following the same formula they did last time, the formula that made Star Wars what it was. \n\nC) It's called *The Last Jedi*. There are a few reasons why there aren't a lot of Jedi. If you look closely at the previous movies, you may notice something called 'The Jedi Order' falling and then an obscure event called 'The rise of the Empire.' You can complain about there not being more Jedi and you can complain about not sticking to the narrative, but you can't complain about both at the same time. \n\nI can pick out scenes with obviously stupid things that didn't work well with audiences, but then there are all these complaints from people about how 'it should go' which is usually in direct opposition to how it *has gone* time and time again. You can see how it goes when they build a movie based on what fans expect in TFU and you can see how it goes when they intentionally try to undermine expectations in TLJ. \n\nIf we're lucky, the 3rd movie will completely disregard what all of us are winging about and focus on its own story. Meanwhile, we'll be sitting in the wings telling them they need Anakin to come back from the dead with 7 lightsabers and 20 fidget spinners to bring down the First Order on his own, but don't make him too OP or anything.",

"A) If she always had powers she would have used them before in the plethora of times her life was hanging by a thread.\n\nB) not sure how you elected yourself to be an authority of what people should watch. You saying \"hur dur well if you dun lyk it den stop watching\" is not an excuse for making an objectively bad movie under a franchise with a rich background.\n\nThey did not leave the story on a cliff hanger because there are NO stakes. No one cares about the resistance. No one cares about the characters. I'm not saying I'm pissed off that I can't wait for the next movie. I'm saying I'll only watch the next movie for the lightsaber battles - I am not invested in the story at all.\n\nC) Luke is said in *this* movie to have trained many students. If they hadn't waited until now to mention this, they may have been able to introduce more force wielders in the story arc with time for character development. Now the entire fucking war is between Rey and Kylo.\n\nLook, I had no fan theories or expectations about this trilogy that I'm butthurt about. I'm not that kind of fan. But these films have been objectively bad. The new Bladerunner movie proves that you can make *good* sequels of old franchises. The fans of the original were for the most part extremely satisfied. Good luck trying to say that about Star Wars. ",
"A) That makes no sense under any scenario. Who has ever been able to do everything before they've been able to? Why would you expect them to? Whether you like how she shows her first force powers or the one's that she does have, you shouldn't be surprised that she has any at all and you certainly shouldn't be surprised that there's a first time when it happens. That's just the inevitable conclusion of what would happen. \n\nB) Who elected you an authority on taking my advice? Suck it up buttercup. If you didn't like the last sequel, then you didn't like the last sequel. If every major point you have for not liking it is already present in every other movie then, yeah, you invested your time in the wrong franchise. \n\nC) Yeah, getting to see some of Lukes students would be pretty cool. \n\nI don't even think there's anything wrong with pointing out what you didn't like, but if what you didn't like is already a quintessential part of the storyline then there's only so much to complain about. For example, I can't stand the stupid race scenes, but they are Star Wars. Even if they're done extra horribly like with the casino, there has to be some stupid race scene at some point.",

"Not really. \n\n30+ years of rain and weather would have washed most of the fallout off, that would be the main concern; radioactive crud, bits of the reactor casing or control rods etc, that had been vaporised and blown clear of the reactor in the accident. That shit's mostly sitting in the topsoil now, which is why eating mushrooms, foraged foods etc is not advised.\n\nThe next major concern would be sitting on a bit of actual fuel rod. Some parts of fuel rod can be as large as a grain of sand and would be an energetic alpha emitter. They're dense as fuck, so there may be a good chance a largish bit would not have washed away. But that would be the good news. Alpha radiation, by virtue of it being highly energetic and damaging, is not deeply penetrating, and would probably be mostly stopped by clothing. As long as you're not ingesting it, you are not looking at a dramatic reduction in lifespan.\n\nThe biggest concern about being in the contaminated zone would be bio accumulation; respiratory inhalation or ingestion via contaminated water or food stuffs.",

"Not really especially hazardous, no. It's unlikely this was located extremely close to the reactor, they played with it as kids. It's not enclosed, and has been exposed to the elements, which likely removed quite a bit of radiation. \n\nSo, 10,000 mSv is going to kill you within weeks. 5,000 mSv is going to kill half of people exposed to that level within a month. 1,000 mSv will give you radiation sickness, but won't be fatal. It will also increase your cancer risk slightly. \n\nA CT scan is gonna be about 15 mSv. Limits for civilians are 1 mSv, for workers it's 50 mSv per year.\n\nWhen the explosion occurred, the reactor was giving off about 300 Sieverts per hour, that's 300000 mSv. That's a lot.\n\nNow, the fairground is 1.3 uSv/hour, that's 0.0013 mSv. One of the checkpoints is about 0.6 uSv/hour.\n\nThis small toy car is probably in a similar range, perhaps slightly higher, but they will have been exposed for such a short period that it would likely have no effect. As long as they didn't lick it, or eat lunch on top of it, or just wear those clothes all the time, they'll be fine. \n\nThey likely got a bigger dose back in 1989 if they were there when it happened.

"Well... It kind of depends on which subs you mod, but sometimes people get upset and try to doxx the mods. That's always a little scary, *especially* when they get it wrong, because on the one hand *you* feel semi-safe for a little bit, but then you realise two things:\n\n1. Someone out there is *so* upset with you for whatever reason that they are trying to find you.\n\n2. Someone else, someone who has *no idea* what is going on, may have a bunch of angry people messing in their lives without any advance warning or any explanation as to why.\n\nFor me, I mod a bunch of trans subs, and we had a couple of big transphobic subs on reddit back in 2015. As far as I know, this group was started by some 15 year old kid in Kansas, but they got rolling and started hitting our subs frequently, looking for depressed or suicidal people to harass. They were targeting vulnerable individuals, looking to push them to commit suicide because they were trans.\n\nWell, those are people I care about that they were attacking, so I did everything I could to put a stop to 'em. I banned 'em, recorded and reported their subreddits and their activities to the admins. I figured out alternate accounts and reported those for ban evasion, I tailored the AutoMod to detect and report when we were getting brigaded and to automatically pull things containing various slurs.\n\nAfter over half a year of this nonsense, after a couple of suicides, and after closing roughly half a dozen of their subreddits, which they kept recreating, the admins *finally* kicked these assholes off the site for good. The admins shut down their main sub and closed up all of the pending subs they had waiting to move into, then stopped them from making more. It was a full eviction. (And then reddit as a whole called that censorship and got salty about Ellen Pao and it became a whole circlejerk.)\n\nAnyway, during the middle of all that, they tried doxxing and harassing a bunch of our mods. They slandered one of our mods and labeled her a pedophile for no reason other than we were in their way. As for me, they never figured out where I was, but they did find some guy and I have no idea what they did to him, if anything. I guess I'll never know; I'm just glad they're gone and they don't seem to be hurting anyone anymore.\n\nIt's just... Modding a sub is a wonderful way to give back to a community you care about, but you have to be careful to protect yourself, too. These are large, open forums and sometimes people get a little crazy with the anonymity of the Internet. There's no vocal tone, no facial expression, no body language, so a lot of meaning gets lost in text.\n\nLike... Someone who walks up and casually asks you 'Hey, are you okay?' is a lot more inviting than someone who strolls up, looms over you, arms crossed, and says 'Can I help you?'\n\nThey're saying the same thing, but the first person is trying to be helpful, while the second person is guarded and wants to know what you're up to, not whether they can help.\n\nBut since we have no vocal tone and we lose all of that meaning, something one person writes genuinely can be read as snarky or condescending by someone else. If you're angry with someone, you're likely to get more angry with them, regardless of what they say.\n\nSo you have to be careful. You have to be mindful that what you say represents your community. Your position puts you in a place of *service* to your community, but it also places you under *scrutiny*. People want to know you're being a good mod, and they might get upset of you make a gaffe. Stuff like that.",

Hopefully it's changed, but a sub called Politics should have all sides included, not just one constantly promoted and anything that questions the principles of that one side getting shit on or censored. Sure subs like r/uncensorednews are full of neo nazi scum bags but it's seriously better than some cunts playing brainwashing games. Matter of fact they use to keep track of all the censoring the mods did over there in a sticky post. I'm sure plenty other lefties got sick of watching it the same way I did. ",

"The mods only uphold the rules on the sidebar. They have fairly stringent and draconian anti-spam rules, but that's mostly because any idiot can create a political blog and then they seem to have a habit of spamming it over and over again to /r/politics just so they can get views. That gets old, fast, and to prevent it, the mods have added rules that allow them to pull things like 'Jim's vapor trails website' and 'Fred's Conspiracy Nonsense' but encourages submissions from actual news sources like CNN or Fox News or actual newspapers. Things like that.\n\nAs for the idea that the mods could push any given leaning, that's utterly preposterous. The modqueue in /r/politics is hundreds, sometimes thousands of items long. You'll be busy checking one thing and two dozen rule-breaking things will get posted or past you in that time. The mods there can't even keep people from telling others to kill themselves, let alone police every single post that comes in.\n\nHeck, they do their best to read and check every post just to make sure it's not a reposted source, that people are posting the original source and not 'Quoted from Associated Press affiliate in Wisconsin' and they can't even manage to keep that simple rule, either, because there's simply too much content coming in to keep track of it all.\n\nNew mods take time to train properly, so everyone is on the same page, and that means you have to pull one of your regular mod team and tap them for extra duty, babysitting the new mods and watching them, making sure they don't screw up.\n\nThen the new mods burn out because of this bullshit right here, where everybody thinks the mods are out to get them because they're biased. *Everybody* thinks the mods are biased against *them*. It's easier than owning up to saying 'Oh, crap, I was breaking the rules.' It's easier to blame the mods than to admit personal fault, so everyone does that instead.\n\nSo then you have to train new mods again, and people get upset because 'Oh, why do we have new mods again? Is this an ideological purge? Why did so and so leave?' What we can't tell you is that so and so left because being a mod there is grueling, people doxx you, people threaten you, and no one else gives a shit about you except the other mods... and even then, they don't really give a shit about you, they just care about how many mod actions you can do per month and how much you're contributing to the team. It's utterly toxic for everyone involved.\n\nThe mods are stretched thin, they don't have anywhere *nearly* the power that people accuse them of having.\n\n-----\n\n**Edit/tl;dr:** It's *a job* where you're treated like shit, you don't get paid, no one likes you, most of the people you're working for actively hate you, and your coworkers are in the same boat and know you'll be gone soon anyway, so no one bothers to give a shit about each other. As in, they treat it just as seriously and as rigid as an actual job, but you get no pay, no benefits, no respect, no useful experience, nothing, just the quiet knowledge that you helped chip away at their unending modqueue. *Maybe* you deferred some arguments or banned some spammers, but that's only temporary because both will be back again in a few hours anyway. Modding most subs is a joy because you feel helpful and useful and you're protecting your community and helping it grow, watching it blossom... modding /r/politics is like bashing your brain in with a brick for several hours a day, and hoping that maybe your blood will fertilize something.",

"You’re an asshole. That was a legitimate, non accusatory or discriminatory question and you’ve lashed out, initiating name calling and virtue signaling like a child would. OP wasn’t even questioning why would men even do this but rather why would someone ask for this to picture to “please be man hands” and, from one ambiguous question you’ve extrapolated a whole lot of presumptuous ideas of this person. Then you sprinkle them fairy dust and sashay away like you’ve known this person and their opinions for years. ",

"Dude I'm not trolling in your case just gonna be real. So, troll-mode deactivated:\n\nI've been gay my whole adult life. Never once did PDA with anyone and never have been to a 'pride' event. I wouldn't date a feminine guy either but I think they have a right to exist and be themselves. I also think drag queens and TG people have a right to exist and be themselves even if I would never date either. I accept them though. They and even masculine gay men like me have been heavily shunned and discriminated against on and off for many decades.\n\nDon't mistake needing to accept and be tolerant to 'shoving it in faces'. As a group gay men and lesbians have faced huge setbacks at the hands of conservatives to deny them (me even) rights. Part of the gains that have been made were due to that public visibility and 'getting out there' and putting it in people's faces. It may have made some people uncomfortable and I'd like to apologize for that but I can't. It was necessary. People needed to know that hey we're here and there are a lot of us and legislating against us has to stop and we can change elections and we will fight for our rights to a happy productive life that sexually conforming people enjoy as a matter of fact. An oppressed minority will stay that way forever if they just sit there and do nothing about it.\n\nJust keep it in perspective and I hope I've helped you understand even slightly the 'why' for pride parades and the loudness even if I've never gone to it myself or really condoned the floats of naked boys. Even now conservative trolls and religious nuts work tirelessly (one wonders why) to roll-back advances in legal protection, right now progress is stopped cold due to political changes in the last year. You can still be fired for being gay almost everywhere in the USA, is that right? Does that sound right to you? Deny the very possibility of a decent living because someone doesn't screw the way you do or prefer? I don't think you think that. I think you're better than that.",

"So what's the age difference here?",

My main focus right now is being active (gym at least 3x a week) and doing small shifts in my diet (what used to be a greasy lunch is now either green or light like yogurt/nuts/oats) - it's going well so far, I started end of November and I haven't put any extra pounds on during the holiday season so far which is an achievement for me!\n\nI also find myself not wanting sweets as much as I used to and that is huge in and of itself.\n\nIf I don't meet the goal by then I'll at least know I've tried and put effort into the goal which is what really matters - I can always work towards it in the end!

"How tho? From what I’ve heard weightlifting would only serve to gain muscle mass",

"Good job, keep it up! It's hard to get the weight off and harder to keep it off. Job well done!",
"Because the ideal \"weight loss\" is actually fat loss. \n\nEnergy comes from the breakdown of carbs and sugar the fastest, but your body wants to preserve those quick-acting fuel sources until you are under stress (sprinting into action, needing to fight off an assailant, etc). So, under resting, low-intensity conditions, your body naturally uses fat cells for energy.\n\nYour metabolism is the speed at which your body's natural chemical reactions occur. If you speed it up, you need more energy from your blood stream. Your metabolism can only be revved up so high or your heart has problems, so a workout does little to burn fat cells in the time your working out. \n\nThe real fat loss comes from the slight increase in your resting metabolic rate over the next 24-48 hours after muscle building workout. As your body repairs the damage done to your muscles during your workouts, it uses the fat storage for energy instead of the quick-fuel of glucose in your system. It's the same idea as saying it's more expensive to pay someone $1 a day for a year than to just give them $100 once.",
"You look fantastic! Great progress OP, and I definitely dig the aesthetic from weightlifting.\n\nAlso, do you mind if I ask whether you have any loose skin problems?",
"I like this. ",
"You would be very incorrect.",
">How does working specifically those muscles boost metabolism? Why does metabolism even matter?\n\nThe bigger your muscle, the more energy it consumes at doing any task, that's why marathon runners are very slim. So a person with bigger muscles will consume more calories just for existing.\n\n>How is weight and repetition related?\n\nThe heavier the weight you lift the less repetitions you can do. More weight/less repetition makes the muscle grow bigger, less weight/more repetition makes the muscle grow, but not as much, but makes it more resistant.\n\nAlso, for women is very difficult to build too much muscle (naturally, without hormone enhancers), so for women that use weight lifting to do physical activity it won't increase your weight too much. Men have a lot more natural testosterone which makes muscle grow.\n\nAnd if you increase weight because of muscle, its healthy anyways. So hypothetically if you stayed in the same weight but substituted fat by muscle, your health and mood would improve massively.",
"Hitting your muscle groups in the right way, will simply start a cycle of breakdown and recovery. When muscle fibers start to recovery they need rest (24-48 hours depending on which we look at) and resources to rebuild. That means they need protein, carbs and fat.\n\nIf you eat at a deficit (consuming lower caloric amount than your body requires to go through a full day) your body will automatically dig into your fat \"reserves\" and gain the necessary energy from these deposits so that you can properly recover.\n\nThe entire recovery period is what boosts your metabolism. Doing cardio is more of a \"in the moment\" burn off. You increase your heart rate and your body required more energy to continue running/cycling/etc. but once you stop again, if the intensity wasn't near max, you won't have the same type of breakdown and recovery. Because most of the work was taxing on your heart and lungs (which is also important), but not what increases your metabolism over longer times.",
"Lift weights to build muscle, more muscle means you will burn more calories when your body is resting. ",
"There is this stigma/stereotype that heavy weightlifting isn't for women and they can't be good at it.\n\nBut if you look at records, women are pretty damn strong. They might not have the genetics for getting huge like male powerlifters and strongmen. But their bodyweight to amount of weight lifted ratio is insane for classic lifts like deadlift and squat.",

"If anybody wants to lose weight, your calorie intake has to be less than the calories you burn at the gym. An easy first step is to avoid eating anything with sugar; sweets and soda being the main culprits. As far as what exercises, you really can't go wrong. But, form > weight always, I can't stress that enough. When doing an exercise, make sure the targeted muscles are the only ones doing the work.\n\nEdit: No offense, but to the people who downvote, I wonder what you look like, probably overweight.",

Did you lower your sugar intake to only when you need it? Are you eating red meat? Do you eat lots vegetables and a fruit in the morning? Gland issue?(last resort go to a doctor after trying your absolute hardest for a long time with no results) Some people have gland hormone issues but it is rare.",
"So how did I gain weight after cutting my food intake in half and exercising till my legs collapsed?",
"Probably because you didn't do it correctly. \n\nWeight loss is all about calories (and micronutrients). You have to consume fewer calories than you spend. If you workout, you increase the calories you spend. \n\nThere is a study out there where a professor did a gas station diet. He ate food only found at gas stations and he lost weight. He did supplement his diet with a protein shake and one serving of vegetables per day to make sure his body got the necessary proteins and micronutrients , but that is under 200 calories, so it's not a huge deal. The point is that he didnt even work out. Just ate at a deficit \n\nThe point is that weight loss is about caloric deficits. Muscle mass/ weight gain is about caloric surpluses and macro/micro nutrients. \n\nEdit:spelling",
"Great Job! As my colleague would say, “Dat ass tho!” ",
"> So how did I gain weight after cutting my food in half\n\nBecause you ate both halves?\n\nOr maybe you were eating 3-4x more food than you should.",
"The simple answer is that at the end of the day, you were still consuming more calories than you burned. \n\nThat’s it. You can claim that science, diet, and exercise failed you, that’s fine. You’re the one that has to live with it. The truth is that for 99.99% of the population, it’s as simple as calories in vs. calories out. \n\nIf you cut your calories and we’re still gaining weight, cut your calories more. I’m willing to bet a substantial amount of money that you were eating far more than you thought you were. If you collapsed during exercise, instead of trying to murder yourself in the gym, find an intelligent program based on progressive overload. \n\nThe internet has all the information you could ever need on weight loss, fitness, and nutrition. It’s so simple. If you want to lose weight, burn more calories than you eat and drink. Of course things are a little more nuanced than that when you’re talking optimized performance and nutrition and all that, but as far as purely losing or gaining weight, it’s literally that simple.

Going to the gym and burning those 1200 you consumed would indeed make you lose weight faster but you would be losing weight either way.\n \n \nI believe that is the point the person you replied to is making.

So I retract that part of my statement, and instead will say that in the first photo she did not meet any conventional western standards of beauty or attractiveness. \n\nAs for your second point, I’m not sure how many people who are happy with the way they look just decide to drop 80 lbs in two years. Think of it this way. If I was a 120 lb man with a tiny body, and in two years I put on 50 lbs of muscle through intensely dedicated and focused effort, wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that I wasn’t happy with my previous state? \n\nShe wasn’t happy being 80 lbs overweight. I promise you. It’s not easy to lose weight. To lose such a drastic amount of weight without any internal motivation would be insane. \n\nEdit: Bring on the downvotes fatties, it doesn’t change what’s true.

"I’ve seen quite a number of these over my time with Reddit and I’ve never given a reply because: 1) some folks take honest words the wrong way, and 2) most everyone with positive feedback has already said what I would’ve said. However, I have to break my silence and not just provide an upvote, but be completely honest. I’m a married man with some grown kids and will state this is coming from unconditional love for my fellow person: whatever the motivation you had, OP, you were beautiful before and look beautiful now. The transition is external, but shows in your smile how meaningful it’s been on the inside. Just know you were always beautiful! I mean that for everyone who posts these, as well. Regardless of how one maybe felt about themselves before, during or how they may feel after, know you’ve always been beautiful — a beautiful person, a beautiful soul! 👍🏾 That beauty also shows in the confidence you’ve had to even post. Bravo to you and everyone else, and Happy New Year! 🎊🎉\n",

I'm not like immobile I play soccer twice a week at the moment but it's a struggle. I've tried the gym but I just get bored and can't motivate myself to go. I like the idea of running but can't get a decent go at it because I'll get shin splints at like 2k. \n\nYou've done an awesome job nice steady loss so can tell it was through hard work and not some fad diet.

"Thank you for taking the time to write that!! I really struggled with low confidence when I was heavier. It held me back from so much! I wanted to hike and be in the outdoors and I never had the energy. I was sick and lethargic from having such a terrible diet. \nI never imagined that being active would lead to increased energy. And I never imagined how much confidence I would gain from weightlifting! It’s honestly the lifting more so than the weight loss that has given me confidence. To see progress and to be able to lift heavier is such an amazing feeling. I remember I was deadlifting 65 lbs when I started. Just hit deadlifts of 225lbs and I’m so proud of myself!\n\nI still struggle with confidence on occasion! But it’s no where near how much I struggled with it when I was bigger. \n\nIt wasn’t that others looked down at me or made me feel bad; I made MYSELF feel bad. I felt judged all the time when I shouldn’t have. And I was not as good a person. Not at all! Because I felt judged I used to judge others. I’m a lot kinder now and I feel so much more *free*. It’s a very weird feeling but one I feel blessed to have. \n\nThank you again for your kind words! Wishing you the best in 2018; happy New Years!!",
"Uhh well I should’ve elaborated a bit. I was just curious cause my gf has about the same physique as the OP’s before pic, and she’s been working on getting lean for a few months now. Her current goal is to lose 20lb+ within a year so I’ve been helping her with her diet, and trying to get her into weightlifting, but she prefers cardio. I was wondering if weightlifting helped the OP minimize loose skin problems because I’ve read/heard somewhere that preserving the lean muscle mass through weightlifting can help with the loose skin you get from losing a lot of weight.",

"Thank you!:) I don’t take things to heart! People are very different from behind screens! And most of the time I think people say rude things because it comes from a place of insecurity or not feeling good about oneself. Been there myself years ago!

I’ve been leaning towards ASUS brand because that’s what everyone has told me!\n\nStill probably going to do an i7 7700k and a GTX 1080. \n\nMight end up just doing a GTX 1070 though.

Not having the sweet monitor to go with your beastly rig is like having bald tires on your sports car.\n\nThese latest i7's get really hot - especially the 7700k, I'd definitely recommend going with a plug-n-play all-in-one watercooler. It's dead fucking simple and there is literally nothing to worry about. Set it and forget it.\n\nCheck this part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xrMgYr\n\nI know I only put 16GB of RAM, it was to shave cost because RAM is really stupidly expensive right now, and 32GB just doesn't have benefits for gaming right now, other than bragging rights to your nerd friends.\n\nThe total is just shy of $1800, but realize that you can shave off around $150-200 of that price by waiting for good deals, though a monitor would put you at around $1900.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n",

At The Gallery restaurant in Sisters, OR you could tell the weather just by looking at the faces of the patrons. When a cloud came over conversation would slow down, and when the sun came back out conversation would pick up again.\n\nOr, you can accept and be accepted by the other folks there who are also depressed. It’s kinda O.K. in the Willamette Valley to be always slightly depressed. Maybe it increases creativity, as it encourages contemplation. You might even consider moving to the coast, where the dramatic winter ocean forms a great backdrop to a cozy evening by the fire. A great place to write the Great American Novel.",

If a car is speeding and gets hit by someone who runs a stop sign, it's the stop sign runner's fault although the speeder was doing something illegal. However, many states will split responsibility in driving incidents and make people pay percentages.\n\nCriminal cases focus on intent to do the action on top of if it occurred, but civil cases only focus on whether something happened or not. Can the proximate cause be free of the intent question here or is does the perception of having space matter,",

The average vehicle is 1800mm wide, or 70 inches (bringing the total to 90 inches). This means the accessible parking space is less than the 96 inch width, or the 132 inch width for a van accessible space. \n\nAlso, the white car is invading the access isle by 20 inches, which is on-par of slamming into the car in the lane on the left. \n",

And the laws often make assumptions. \n\nIn NY for example, if someone backs out of a driveway quickly and your car hits theirs because you didn't have enough braking distance to stop, you're found to be at fault, not the person recklessly backing out. Actually pretty much any time you're the rear vehicle in an accident in NY you're found to be at fault. If someone backs into the front of your car in traffic, you could be found to be at fault even though it was actually the other driver who caused the accident.\n\nSo I can easily see how NJ could have written their laws such that illegally parked cars are automatically assumed to be at fault.",

It's not about intent at all, present or absent.\n\nA motor vehicle accident is when a moving motor vehicle hits another motor vehicle (parked or not), a stationary object (e.g., a building or a fire hydrant), or a person. Or an animal. Additionally, a driver or a passenger trying to get in or out of a motor vehicle an damaging this or other motor vehicle in the process also constitutes an accident.\n\nSee how intent has nothing to do with any of the above, and was in no way mentioned in any of my messages?\n\nThe reason fire fighters breaking the windows of a car in front of a hydrant is not a motor vehicle accident is not because they mean to do this, but rather because they have the right to do this, granted to them through law. They do NOT have the right to displace the vehicle by hitting it with their truck, or whatever. (Unless it's necessary, which it never really is... and when it IS necessary, they can do it to vehicles parked properly as well - although this rarely happens, because part of the regulations for parking is specifically to make the parked cars not an obstacle in case an evacuation is required).

"They do. Stricter, even, in certain ways, which is why American versions of Euro cars tend to have bigger bumpers. It’s also why we don’t have lots of tiny cars that are available in Asia, like micro trucks and Kei cars. \n\nThere’s still the 3-wheel loophole, though. Anything with fewer than 4 wheels and no permanent roof can be legally registered as a motorcycle, and doesn’t have to conform to any crash safety standards. See: the [Polaris Slingshot](http://www.polaris.com/en-us/slingshot). That thing in the gif, if it has four wheels, would never be street legal in the States. Incidentally, it’s also why we have the [Morgan 3-wheeler](https://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/3-wheeler/) but not a [KTM X-Bow.](http://www.ktm.com/x-bow/)\n\nThe exception is antique cars. Pretty much anything street legal in Europe and Asia that is more than 25 years old can be imported, registered and driven legally in the US without meeting these crash safety standards. \n\nThere’s a [reasonably hot business right now](https://www.japaneseclassics.com/) in importing Mitsubishi Delicas, Nissan Figaroes, and early 90’s Nissan Skyline GTRs for American car enthusiasts. \n\nEdit: but of course that thing in the gif, as long as it has four wheels or a roof, has to meet the same minimum collision standards as any other hatchback in order to be street legal in the States. It’s not necessarily smart, but that’s what we’re stuck with right now.\n\nI’m a strong believer in a new class of “ultralight” cars— very small, short-range electric cars for use mostly in cities. They would be speed-limited and not legal for use on high speed roadways, and not subject to safety standards for cars meant to do 55+mph. They could be made and sold cheaply because they don’t have to undergo rigorous crash testing, nor would they need complex driver aids and a dozen air bags.\n\nThey would reduce congestion in cities because lots of people who “need” cars in town don’t actually need a full-on automobile, and people would have incentive to buy them instead of bigger cars because they would be so much more affordable.",

What people don't realize, is that those lines are for a ramp and/or for wheelchair users to transfer. Because of the way this person parked, I cannot get back into my car independently and it keeps me from wanting to branch out and drive on my own. What if I'm by myself and this happens? Now, the person parked in that spot is handicapped and most of the problems I encounter are people who legally have a handicap tag. For whatever reason, they are unaware of why these lines are there and they use it as an excuse to park badly. There are many people who have disabilities that don't involve wheelchairs and I guess this is something they just have never thought about. Please, PLEASE Park within the lines. If you need the space on the passenger side, then back in. If you are driving a car and you have a choice between a van accessible spot and a regular accessible spot, please don't use the van spot. Could all of you please share this? And I know this is an unlikable post but like it anyways so more people see it. I seriously need to let the world know so that this stops happening and people in wheelchairs can have as much accessibility as possible.\"",

People get into fight or flight mode very quickly in these situations, so making sure I pose no perceived threat to them is an important part of helping them possibly see an error in their behavior.",

If it doesn't, be prepared to spend a ton of money to tear out the existing parking lot, regrade and rebuilt. Typically owners will only do the minimum amount of accessible spaces required by the code and usually locate them at the front not only for ease of logistics but because hopefully it will be more convenient for the person requiring the accessible space.

There's plenty lot of behavior that, while anti-social, isn't worth having the police deal with: e.g. parking in handicapped spots. Not all consequences or social enforcement can (or should) be dispensed by the law, and most rules of good behavior aren't legally enshrined. We also care a lot less about property damage, depending on whether it's justified or not.\n\nOne of the things that I find difficult about the US is that anti-social behavior doesn't get negatively reinforced, so people are habituated to behaving anti-socially and getting away with it. Unless things get so bad the police are involved, nothing is done, and that produces a lot of bad situations (e.g. public transport in the Bay Area).\n\nSo in this example. The dude doing the parking is an absolute asshole, both legally and ethically. Fucking up his car? In my view it's *deserved*.

"I mentioned it in another comment and plenty of times in my post history, but I work in commercial parking lots and have a load of experience with ADA. I don't hold any certifications as I only really know the parking lot portions, but I know it well and I know how expensive it is. \n\nMy first thought is that if you just need to get in and out, then go as far away from the door as possible, there will likely be spaces available at any parking lot of a decent size. There are issues (mainly money and drainage) that come with adding ADA accessible spaces. You need to provide a compliant Path of Travel (POT) to the entrance/ramps. This isn't a large issue in new construction, but retrofitting a parking lot brings a lot of challenges. \n\nFor example, if you change the grades to be under 1:48 cross slope (2.0833%) then you are likely reducing the parking lot's ability to drain water. If it rains when it is just above freezing or snow melts middle of the day and freezes again at night, then you can see a nice slick section of ice which is now more dangerous than before. The northern half of the United States and all of Canada tend to freeze for about 4 months a year so depressions in concrete/asphalt will hold water and freeze which is a big issue. \n\nMoney wise you are talking about $10k-$40k depending in the current condition of the parking lot, and how much needs to get changed. Again, we'll call this the northern half of the united states where it will probably cost about $2-$4 per square foot to make these changes if needed. Plus you need to pretty much double your square footage to get the actual grades correct. So a 150' x 5' path will take about 1500 SF to be redone (I will get shit for saying double, and I know that is wrong, but it is a good middle ground advice for those not in the industry). That 750sf extra is going to be between $1500-$3000 minimum if it is an overlay. \n\nLastly, the biggest issue, which everyone forgets about is SAFETY. This isn't to be disrespectful or ignorant of persons in wheel chairs or other accessibility assisting devices, but you are harder to see than a person walking on two legs. The person on two legs can stop easier, has a gait that is easier to recognize, and is taller. You can see this person easier without a rear-backup camera. Every car that a person needs to go behind is a hazard, and a business is responsible for that. No business will put extra spaces further away from the door, incur those costs, and risk the legal suits. It is a bad idea all around. In fact, making accessibility-challenged persons go behind cars is illegal in many states and is generally frowned upon in the industry. ",

"I use a wheelchair, and it's only *really* irritating when someone uses the handicap stall when they take a long time, it's a large bathroom and there were plenty other of free stalls, or if there's a line, and they clearly see that I am waiting for the big stall, and they take it anyway. What if you were only able to use one stall out of the whole bathroom, and almost every time you went into a public place, that stall was occupied by someone who didn't *need* it, even if every other stall was completely open. And now you're given no choice but to wait because the handicap stall was more comfortable, but not necessary, for someone else. Also remember people in wheelchairs often have bladder issues that cause urgency and incontinence if they can't get to the bathroom quick enough... However, if you're willing to take the risk of someone having to wait for you, or if you're using the handicap stall in a place where you know there's a small chance of a disabled person needing it, then that's on you, and I can't imagine someone thinking less of you unless you're a dick about it. No, it's not illegal to use the handicap stall, but it's put there for a reason. By the way, in a lot of bigger and newer bathrooms, there's often a smaller \"handicap\" stall next to the really big one.

"I’ve had this situation a few times while driving my Dad for his errands. We don’t have a ramp like the one shown in the photo; we made one out of a couple of 2x10 boards, one of those ATV/Lawnmower loading kits from a hardware store, and some traction tape. It needs a fair amount of extra space to load him in and out, so even someone being slightly over the line can cause problems.\n\nMy usual method of dealing with this is just asking the driver to move the vehicle. A polite tone and “please” go a long way, in my experience, even when the other party is obviously in the wrong. You get some sheepish looks, quick apologies and they make room without a fuss. Most of the time, anyway. I have had to deal with a couple that required more persuasion, and both times were when I had to go hunt the person down.\n\nThe first time, Dad and I had just finished eating at Wendy’s. We go out to get him loaded up, see a car parked completely in the loading area. Not only was he blocking that, but the guy had parked on the actual wheelchair entry of the sidewalk so Dad couldn’t even get into the parking lot let alone his vehicle. He was livid, and so was I. Our shared comment in this scenario tends to be “I guess I know what their handicap is”. But, I try to be a voice of reason so I said hey, I was going to smoke a cigarette anyway. I’ll smoke one and maybe they’ll be out by then. Lit one up, smoked it down, no driver. “Alright Dad, let me go see if I can find whose car it is.” So, I go inside and ask aloud if the driver of a Brown PoS (I don’t recall the car) is in the restaurant. Older guy says it’s his car. Fantastic, that was easy. “Excuse me, sir. My father is in a wheelchair and we’d like to leave, but your car is blocking the sidewalk and the marked zone. Could you move it, please?” I’d said similar stuff a dozen times and never had a problem. But this cocky bastard looks me right in the eye, looks down at his food, looks back to me and says “My dinner will get cold.” Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it and for a second I didn’t know what the hell to say. That kind of thing just isn’t southern, you know? Protocol was being broken. My mind was fantasizing about flinging his whole tray into a deep fryer and saying something like “That will keep it warm until you get back”. Then throwing him in the fryer after it. But then the State Police post is on the other end of the parking lot and that would look bad.\n\nOh wait, that’s right. The State Police post is on the other end of the parking lot. How silly of me.\n\n“No problem sir, enjoy your meal. Sorry to disturb you. I’ll go ask the State Police to move it for you, what number would you like me to give them to contact you when they’re finished?” I turned around, walked out the door, told Dad I’d be right back and headed across the parking lot. I didn’t make it far before I heard the guy yelling after me, saying he was going to move it, et cetera. I went back, tried not to laugh at the way Dad was staring daggers at the guy while saying stuff like “They really should mark those spots somehow to let people know not to park there.” The guy made a comment about being handicapped, Dad and I said “Yeah, we noticed.” Had a good laugh about it after we got him loaded up.\n\nThe second time it happened was at the Dollar Store. Same thing; black SUV parked on the ramp zone (considerately not the wheelchair entry, how kind) and I couldn’t get Dad in. Went back in the store, this time Dad asked for the driver. Belongs to a lady waiting in the checkout lane. He tries my way. “Would you mind moving it please? My boy can’t get my ramp out because you’re parking on the ramp zone.” “Oh dear, I’m sorry. -Do I have time to checkout first?-“ There are six people ahead of this lazy and she’s got more than her share of items. I can appreciate not wanting to lose a space in line, but my Dad’s time is just as important as anybody’s. In this circumstance, I was inclined to believe it was actually more valuable. I was about to say that, but Dad was already transitioning to his way of handling things. “Alright, take your time. I could probably get in but it’ll be tight. Hopefully my chair doesn’t scratch your side up too bad; I just got it and I’m still learning the controls. Also got my keys I keep on my arm rest here, but it probably won’t hurt your car as bad as it has the walls at my house. You wouldn’t believe the damage this thing can do to a wall”, he said as his fingers jingled the keys and he turned his chair around. I couldn’t do much but shrug. What am I going to do? That chair’s heavy and I’m not getting my toes run over to try and stop him. So I just sort of waved and said “We’ll be outside if you need us.” We had a good head start but she beat us to the car. Came out with cart and all, hopped in her car and parked on the far right side of the store. She was huffy but, to her credit, she didn’t try to use her disability as an excuse.\n\nWhen Dad and I left, we passed her SUV and the lady had parked in another marked ramp zone at the end of the sidewalk. I was amazed.",

I was leaving over an hour earlier, because it took so damn long. I carried a change of clothes because by the time I finally got to the stop, I was sweaty and exhausted (a 10 min walk easily becomes 30+ on crutches), then navigating bus transfers (another 20+ minutes hobbling from one stop to the next, a few blocks up), and then my work had the worlds longest, curviest ramp (they don’t have to make short ramps, they just have to make A ramp). Getting groceries was a WHOLE DIFFERENT dilemma. God forbid you live in an area without mass transit, that is a whole other set of problems. I’m thankful I had a roommate who sometimes gave me a ride to work, and also drove me to my appointments. Able people take walking for granted SO MUCH, and I didn’t realize it till my foot was okay and the crutches were gone and I found myself running after something.

If they sit in their wheelchair, how does it stay in place without rolling every time the car moves? Where is the ramp stored when it isn't lowered? Can they drive, and if so, how?",

"Austin is the worst road rage city I've ever lived in. Otherwise it's pretty chill. I was involved in two disturbing road rage incidents:\n\nOnce, stuck in traffic on 6th going north before the clusterfuck intersection with Lamar, I was just sitting there when someone started pounding on my window. I have no idea what I did to him. I pulled out a gun just enough so he could see it and he went back to his car.\n\nThen there was the reason I got the gun. I was on the 183 frontage road, riding along in the middle lane. I got a work call on my cell and this was before bluetooth or anything like that. In the rearview mirror I see a truck going faster than me in the right lane so I wait for him to pass and then I changed lanes really quickly behind him so I could pull into a bank parking lot to answer the call. For some reason he took big exception to what I did. As I was talking on the phone I saw him take the next right and enter the same parking lot from a different entrance. He parked about two car lengths ahead of me in a nearly empty lot, got out, and started walking toward me. As he got closer I could hear him screaming even though the window was up and then I saw that he was carrying, too. I tore out of there in a big hurry and was thankful he didn't start fucking shooting at me.\n\nThose weren't the only incidents I had in Austin, but they were the worst. A few days before I moved, I saw on the news where two people got into it on MOPAC and started shooting at each other while driving.\n\nIt's too easy to get a permit in Texas.

"It can come off offensive by equating the oppression of little people to that faced by black people. No two oppression are identical or equal they're all unique in their own shitty way. Little people haven't had it easy but honestly I can't think of ways little people are currently or recently been oppressed aside from lack of job opportunities and being treated more like children than fully grown adults. While black people also experienced lack of job opportunities and not being treated as an adult with the same cognitive abilities as others as well as violence, segregation, and at times death. \n\nAlso the word midget doesn't seem to have a strong almost inseparable connection to mistreatment of little people the way nigger does for the oppression of black people which makes the comparison come off as weak or even false. Most black people in America have living relatives or were alive for the active oppression of black people that was filled with use of the n word. Black people lived under the threat of violence and even death by if they stood up against that oppression. Use of the n word by non black people holds the implications of those centuries of threats and violence. When I hear someone use that word it feels like a threat against me.\n\nIn my experience, a lot of people say the m word out of ignorance that it is no longer an accepted term while few people are ignorant of the malice behind the n word. This means some uses of the m word are rooted in ignorance rather than malice while it is rare today that people use the n word without any malice intended or ignorant of how it may imply malice. And this is a hole in that comparison. If I'm not mistaken the m word used to be a medical term historically so the fact it was once accepted and no longer is seems arbitrary to some people so they continue to use the m word. A word to describe a set of people turning into something used as an insult doesn't require banning use of that word but could be solved by pointing out why it's wrong to use it as an insult. For example how the phrase \"that's gay\" was used to describe things in a negative light a couple years ago but now it's rarely used like that and the word gay wasn't banned. I'm not equating to that situation but using it to point out why some people consider the ban on the m word arbitrary. The fact the m word no longer being considered acceptable appears arbitrary to some people increases the offense some black people may feel in equating the words. Watch footage of white people fighting against civil rights of black people and it becomes clear why it's no longer accepted but the reasons why the m word is no longer considered acceptable isn't as clearly evident or known.\n\nI may be ignorant of ways the m word has historically been a tool used to actively oppress little people, but lots of people are, so without knowledge of those past wrongs the comparison seems to belittle the experiences of oppression black people have and continue to face. When I first saw that comparison that was my gut response as a black person, that the comparison of the words belittles the realities of the history of the n word. Some qualifiers to indicate you aren't equating the words would probably solve that though. Something like \"the m word has become a word that is used to mock and dehumanize little people and it's hard to separate the word from that like the n word is hard to separate from dehumanization of black people so you ought to avoid using of the m word like you avoid using the n word.\" More wordy but avoids offense from being perceived as equating different oppressive experiences.

"As some of the other replies said it’s probably to encourage more people to bike to commute. There is a big push in many municipalities to encourage bike traffic so they often give incentives, such as tax credits, to get builders to add them in their plans. If you don’t specify what kind of racks a building has to have to get the credit many builders will put the small triangle racks that only allow you to lock the bike I the rack using the front wheel. It’s allows the most bikes for the size of the rack (more tax credit for less cost) but is also the least secure way to secure a bike as the front wheel can be easily detached and the rest of the bike stolen. So you don’t really attract people who are going to bike instead of drive because you won’t want to commute on a shitty bike and a good bike is very likely to get stole. As a libertarian I think it’s a bit nanny state but I’m ok with it if it protects people who want to make a positive difference by biking to work. ",

"> If they are actively damaging your property, you have to stop them.\n\nNo, you don't ***have*** to stop them. You document it, call the police, and, unless you're in imminent danger of physical harm, you do nothing\n\n> Sure, you can just push them away from your vehicle, but you run the risk of them getting severely injured or them dying. Just removing them from their chair is enough to prevent them from causing further damage to your property. No cop is going to arrest someone on that one, if anything the person in the wheelchair would be arrested if there was enough damage.\n\nTouching anyone with intent to cause harm, without their permission, is battery if they also suffer harm from such contact. It doesn't matter if you just shoved them, they can sue you for battery and any related costs to that suit or resulting physical or psychological harm.\n\nThe cop doesn't have to arrest them, they can still be a defendant in a civil action to get damages. But they would also have the option of including a counterclaim in their answer for the damage caused by the damage to your property.\n\nYou could still be arrested because you removed a person from a wheelchair. It's possible they arrest you both and/or charge both of you with separate crimes, but you can still get sued by wheelchair guy and you could still be convicted of battery/assault.",

For us being able to park close with her at this stage is gonna be awesome, cause she'll get to walk more. As she gets older, it'll just depend on how comfortable she is with the distance.

"That could definitely work in some areas, but think about how huge some parking lots are. [Like in this one for instance](https://addictedtocostco.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130911-1.jpg), it would need to be divided up in order to add the walkways, making it harder to troll through the parking lot to find a spot to park. You could put the walks between the spaces themselves, but then that would reduce the amount of spaces that you can pull through or that can be used by vehicles with trailers. The only place it could otherwise be done as-is would be along the rearmost row, which is at the very back of the lot (which I doubt would be very popular) or the very front (which gets us back to square one). So rethinking parking lots in general would be the name of the game. Currently, the very biggest lots have entire sections devoted just to handicap parking, like [this one](https://orlandoinformer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/hp002-animal-kingdom-handicapped-parking.jpg) at Animal Kingdom.

"I had a parking lot flip out the other day (apparently I took a spot someone was waiting to back into—genuinely had no idea) and the reason I reacted horribly, aside from the fact that I was having a horrible day personally, was because the guy who was upset about the “stolen” space decided to roll down his window and start yelling as soon as I exited my car without a single second of patience or assessment of the situation. Had he waited a second, he would’ve seen that I was crying, and had he addressed me calmly, I would’ve moved in a heartbeat and apologized profusely. Since he yelled and I wasn’t in a great state of mind for it, I yelled back, and it was just a really nasty confrontation. So yeah, totally agree with your assessment and can speak pretty well to the idea that you never know who you’re addressing in these situations, so you might as well do it nicely and calmly.

We usually chose the loading spaces because we needed the space and it was easier... but if it wasn't available (or, frequently, way too small for the ramp to extend), parking on the end of a row worked. Or, in a pinch, we'd pull halfway in, unload her, then finosh parking. ",
"I hate those. :( One time i was between a van and its trailer getting something out of the back of the van. The driver accelerated and everyone around me started screaming. Those things are SOLID and give ZERO fucks. We all came up with a parody version of \"Granny got ran over by a reindeer,\" But it was van -themed. :)\n\n\nAnyway, my theory is driving around in circles does the same thing but you'll get hit in your car instead and much more frequently. I do grab a basket far out in the lot (I purposefully park near to one) so people will hit that first and it will make tons of noise, it won't save you but gives a chance. I see a LOT of car crashes and very very very few \"I got ran over\" crashes. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, just comparatively rare for parking lots.\n\n\nIf people are cutting across lanes to hit you, you should have PARKED in those closer lanes where the rest of the line of cars will protect you on the way in. If you're in a mall this might not be possible on the exit since you'll spend so much time, but I think that's a fringe case.\n\n\nYeah if it's 30 seconds to go to the next lane over and park closer, perfect. I think it's the people like /u/djtemporary mentioned who spend lots of time looking for a spot that sort of tips the scales the other way toward \"the cure is worse than the disease\". It's like waiting to make a left turn for 5 minutes into busy traffic (you know what left turn I'm talking about!) instead of just going right, making a safer U-turn and spending 2 minutes.\n\n\nSorry, long time advocate of parking in available spots vs. fighting uphill battles to find a nearer spot. \n there are arguments like this about biking. Some people say to ride in the road because the accident rate is lower. Other people say to ride on the sidewalk because the accident rate is higher but they are probably more minor and you probably don't get killed as often (as far as I know, no one has done a study on actual injury *severity*, just amount of incidents, minor to major to fatal all grouped together).\n\nAnyway, in the same vein, it could totally be that 15 times more car fender benders happen in parking lots... but 3 times more pedestrian *deaths* occur in parking lots, if not just due to the fact that it is difficult to murder someone in a car when you're in a car going very slowly. So in the end statistics probably damn me despite my love of not parking close haha. :)",

"Well that's kinda hard to say on a few fronts.\n\n Firstly, it's not really bad yet, well not as bad as it could be. It's MS, so it sucks, really, really, bad, in many varied degrees and ways. What I mean is if you encountered me out and about depending on the day you may not even notice anything is wrong outside a limp (and sometimes I can hide it, usually don't anymore,). If I was sitting you might never know. These days, honestly though, it does seem I'll at least have to use my cane and if I know I'm going to be on my feet, I need my Rollator. Day to day it varies for me, as far as visible symptoms, it's the lack of strength and pain in my extremities coupled with fatigue. ( a note for those of you without MS, this isn't anything like normal fatigue, not just I'm tired fatigue or you pushed yourself too much fatigue, normal folk dont get this fatigue, and no you cant \"get how it is\" because you worked too long). The reason i say it's not bad, even though it is bad to not having it at all, I still have the ability to move everything, and some don't. \n\n\nSecondly, and briefly mentioned, is the many invisible symptoms. Pain, cramping, muscle weekness, spasms, \"tiny muscles\" (feels like having too small muscles and tendons for your frame), tearing sensations, and I'm sure I'm missing some, but these are many of my symptoms, and no one can see them. It is nice that I have become adept at hiding them from public display. Then again, many (idiots and fools) think I'm lazy or unmotivated as its caused me not to be able to work (I was doing part time and had a good job that adapted to me not able to maintain a normal schedule, not anymore though). This has been the hardest part for me, and this disease has trapped me in a vicious cycle of poverty. Too healthy looking for a sick person I guess, but the financial burdens of life truly make it hard to focus on getting healthier or better, when you can't do a normal schedule and trying to just feel normal is a struggle. Anyway, sometimes the invisible symptoms just don't register to people who are healthy. But it's not easy on surviving that's for sure. I also have other factors, like coming from divorced parents...that's another story though and sadly the one that could help financially seems to not see the invisible symptoms. \n\nLastly, it's different for each individual. I have a friend who I worked with back in 06 or 07, and he had MS longer than me and had very minimal symptoms. So that's a huge part. If you have good support (both fiscally and mentally) then you can focus on the disease. Be educated, go read as much as you can about treatment and living with this disease. It can be managed somewhat, and since there are varying types of MS, the effects will be different for each person. Reduce stress (easier said than done usually), exercise, and eat well, good advice for anyone, but it's key to keeping those symptoms down. \n\nIt's not an easy disease, when first diagnosed I had a friend tell me \"at least it's not aids\", then that made sense, today not so sure. But like i said, it varies between individuals, so just be proactive and if you can just focus on the health, it won't be so bad. We all get our cards dealt, personally I'm G/R colorblind, ADD, Dyslexic, Afib issues (probably stess), 5 spinal surgeries, and this damn MS, but I still say I'm better of than many and it's still hard to find me not smiling and upbeat (in public, when my body let's me go out at least). \n\nIts rough but not life ending, and I try to say any day you wake up, isn't a bad day. Some days is tougher than others, but I'm here today and I'll try and be he tomorrow. Sure it'd be nice if life want a constant battle to keep my roof over my head while trying to juggle MS symptoms and other health issues. One day maybe we'll have a more fair system that actually helps those struggling with issues like myself, but for now is enlightened me who actually cares about my well being. I'm rambling, sorry....\n\nDon't fear it, embrace it, it's going to be your companion for as long as you live, but if you're educated on MS and have support, it's totally doable to live a full (maybe impeded, but still full) life. \n\n\nPM me anytime and we can chat. I'm 100% open talking about this. If you want any advice, ear to spout to, or just a friend with the bonus of experience with MS, I'm here. Seriously, just hmu if you got questions. I'll do my best to be there and answer them....don't do much else these days, oh be glad you live in a time with Internet. Don't know what I'd do on those days I'm just to fatigued to do anything, without that wonderful Internet! \n\nBest of luck! Hope this helps, but again, reach out to r/MultipleSclerosis too, they are good people. And you'll see the variety of range this disease has. ",

"I hate sounding so negative, but what might also happen is that Landlords/Business owners will put the spaces all the way away from the store where it may meet a public access way which is ran by the city.

I've seen old ladies in walkers trying to step on to 6\" curbs and it is sad that they have to do that, but they get such a big smile when we tell them that a ramp will be going in.\n\nTo your last paragraph, even the stores which are being proactive with their ADA don't want to waste parking lot space. [US-Based Pharmacy on every corner] knows how much parking they have, how much they are paying for the land, and how much business each additional parking space can generate. This company will spend whatever is necessary for their ADA, but do not want to risk additional parking because of it.\n\nI think that is a pretty fair trade off. They happily spend the money, but also want to make sure that they have plenty of parking. One of the cases in which capitalism works to help the consumer. ",

It is a tooth pick when it should be a rubber band; the toothpick breaks under pressure, but the rubber band will stretch before breaking. The slope restrictions are too burdensome. ",

"About a year ago I was going to a local Chinese food place down the street from my old place called [China Dragon](https://goo.gl/maps/QS8SBE271V72). Right out front there's a 2 handicap parking spaces, then there's several regular ones. The handicapped spots were the only ones that were open. As I pulled into the last available spot in the front row, (mind you, there were all the spots available in the middle, just not the ones in the front row) a lady parked in a handicap spot. As we were both getting out i pointed out that she was parked in the handicapped spot. She stops, makes the most over exaggerated exasperated sound and says \"what are you, the handicap parking police?!\" Then walked away in her pink velour tracksuit. We then proceed into the same Chinese food takeout restaurant. Standing right next to this person discussing how long the real police take to respond to handicapped parking calls lol. She is extremely irritated that her food isn't ready and keeps shooting really mean looks at me. Then I suggest she move to another parking space. She can't believe I told her directly to do this thing lol. She keeps replying \"you're not the police!\" The person behind the counter looks in shock like what the hell is going on. I quietly explain that the lady parked in the only open handicapped space instead of a regular space right after she finished with the clerk paying for her food that isn't ready yet. Then we get our food nearly at the same time and she keeps on yelling the comment in the parking lot about how I'm not the police. What a psycho she was.

"Its the best phone I've ever had but the day I got it I'd wished I went for the s8+ because I watchable lot of YouTube.\n\n1 of the most amazing features is that it's waterproof. I went to Tenerife in May and filmed underwater almost everyday. The 1st day I didn't but by the 2nd day I'd had a bit to drink and couldn't resist. It worked flawlessly apart from the screen is unresponsive to touch while in water so you can't hold the button to take a Snapchat video. Not had a single issue with it and love how fast it charges.\n\nOnly advice is, the back glass is meant to be very fragile so I'd invest in a good case, not just a thin silicone case from eBay.\n\n[Here's a little underwater clip I took] (https://youtu.be/ib2g7tLFdsE)",
"My S8 is smashed to fuck. Good camera, though. It actually got better after the first software update. ",
"I'm lucky mine doesn't even have a single crack but I've learned from previous phones plus I'm a kitchen fitter so thought I'd get a good case that will protect it. Downside is it obviously bulks the phone out and my wife's iPhone 7 seems so much thinner but I'd rather have a pristine phone since it costs so much",
"Do you come from a broken home?",
"Looks like you have an absolute shit keyboard. Buy a new one. ",
"Why?"
