When I was a child I thought Susan was needlessly mean to Ross. Then as I got older I realized Ross was an asshat and Susan was the only one on the show that could see it.

i still don’t understand the phrase “luck of the irish” because the luck of the irish is, historically speaking, fucking terrible.
have u ever accidentally opened the wrong cabinet in ur kitchen and it’s just like wtf how long have i lived here again
it’s weird how bland the weasleys’ names are compared other ones in the hp universe. wilhelmina grubby-plank, anyone? look at the whole damn black clan – regulus, phineas nigellus, narcissa. it is a parade of anomalous names. gellert, fenrir, merope.
and then the weasleys go with… bill, charlie, fred, george. and i am convinced that this is because arthur thought common muggle names were chic and possibly more convenient when he takes his sprogs shopping at tescos for spark plugs
Ditch Ad Block Plus.
And now for an announcement from your friendly neighborhood IT worker.
If you use Ad Block Plus, you should uninstall it and download and install uBlock Origin immediately. (There are Firefox versions of all the extensions I’ll talk about here, just google ‘em. And some for IE, Edge and Opera.)
Ad Block Plus is now now only letting advertisers pay them to whitelist some ads, but is now letting advertisers pay them to put their own ads on websites INSTEAD of what you would normally see on that website.
Please remember that it’s possible to spread malware, including Crypotowall type malware, through ads on websites. Yes, ads are how websites make most to all of their revenue, but until ads can be trusted to not destroy your machine, you should not view them if possible.
Please make sure you get uBlock Origin and not just uBlock.
I also suggest installing a flash blocker like FlashControl. This will keep flash from automatically loading on websites you visit. Unfortunately, malware can be spread through just about any version of flash. Make sure you keep flash up to date, as well. FlashControl will be slightly disruptive to your browsing habits, but most things will load with just a single click. You can always disable it on a website if it’s being too disruptive somewhere.
If you really want to protect your privacy, install Privacy Badger. Privacy Badger will stop trackers / cookies from knowing who you are and where you’ve been on the internet. It also can be slightly disruptive, so if a site isn’t working correctly, disable one or both of FlashControl and Privacy Badger.
Even if you don’t want to do FlashControl and Privacy Badger, PLEASE do yourself a favor and move to uBlock Origin. Hope this helps!
Please read. Ad Block has sold you out to the ad industry, and this is not an exaggeration. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/adblock-plus-wants-serve-you-ads-wait-what-1581285
fact checked. yep, it’s for real. uninstalling asap.
About helping and disability
I had a very interesting discussion today with my classmates. One of them mentioned she wants to be a speech therapist… And proceed to complain that our Deaf teacher, who taught us the class called Deaf culture, is really biased.
“Like, she acts like we are some evil beings! It’s not fair, not all speech therapists are like she describes…”
“Well, it’s because she has only bad experience, it’s understandable,” I said.
“But that was in the past! It’s not like it anymore, situation has improved!”
I looked at her like she lost her mind. “Of course it’s still like that! I have met too many people who were exactly like she described… The situation maybe improved, but not that much. More than half of profesionals I met treated me like shit.”
Of course, she didn’t believe me. It was like I didn’t speak at all.
If only it was one case… But I got this attitude from too many people. When I mention some situation I was in or the way some people treated me, they don’t believe me. They are surprised. They say things like:” Surely, you are mistaken…”
They don’t want to believe it.
And I want to shout, you are the problem. I lived through all this shit and you have no clue what it’s like, but when I talk about it, you still think you know better than I do.
I have met too many people in special need education field, or generally people in fields that are supposed to help us… who have this attitude.
I am starting to hate them, Hate people who are supposed to be helping us… Because they don’t listen. They don’t want to hear my opinion, they don’t see me as a person.
And I think that’s the problem.
You see, ordinary people with no education in these things, they treat me like a human being. They are often more cautios, more ignorant or they don’t know how to react to my presence, but they listen. When I explain something to them, they take it to heart.
But people in helping fields? Too often, they don’t see me as a human being. They see me like a problem that needs to be solved. Like a little kid without opinion and mind of her own. Like a little helpless animal that needs to be protected.
Too often I get an attitude: “Well, I worked with disabled people all my life, I know better what they need than disabled people themselves!”
I don’t trust their reasons. When someone says that he/she wants to work with disabled people, I don’t admire them. I think: And why? Are you really that good person, or you just want to feel good about yourself?
And I bet you want to shout: “But not all people are like that! You shouldn’t generalize!”
That’s true. But I will generalize. Because when I say “only some people do it”, everyone will think they are those people. “Oh sure, some people, but not me..”
No.
If you work with disabled people, I want you to look into your heart and ask yourself…
When was the last time you asked disabled person for an opinion? When was the last time you asked them if they want help and how the help should look like? When was the last time you read a book about disability written by someone who was disabled? When was your last lecture given by someone with personal experience?
Do you listen?
Face it, no matter how many books you read, how many lectures you attend, you will never understand what it’s truly like. So try to listen. It’s the only way.
Thank you.
