Oh COME ON. This guy is actively mocking Taiwan now, too??

Damn it, Muskrat

One of the reasons I love that I'm in Germany rn. You don't get people casually joking about Nazis then laughing it off like it's nothing. It is literally against the law, and people treat that topic with actual respect.

I was uplifted for a minute and then I read the comments.

Guys, why is it so hard to just respect that people exist that you might not fully understand?

They're just going to try to make one that's ever so slightly better, and then patent it again

And the volunteer community of content transcribers allied with the blind community, who's goal was to ultimately draw attention to the issue to improve accessibility on the reddit app. Go figure.

You just had me unplugging my cable to shine a flashlight down it to look for the pins haha. Thank you for the info!

That, I believe, is what we refer to as an "abomination"

"Dead language"

Dude it doesn't count if you're literally killing the language on purpose

They have no concept of "human" or "mother"

Actually, they do. Maybe not in the words we use for it, but a cat can recognize their mother and can determine humans apart from other species. It may not be an complex psychological process of ranking them, but they recognize.

I don't think they question it. Just like if you feed a stray cat, they will often continue to come back

"Human gives food. I stay with human."

It was this evolutionary trait that allowed us to domesticate animals in the first place. I don't know if they have the complex psychological capacity to question or doubt it to that level. It's a trust bond, not a superiority one.
