I don’t know, I was looking for Discord servers and I found one for people like me that said “this isn’t a safe space, but it’s a comfortable place.” I don’t use Discord much, is there a difference?

Are “safe spaces” bad? I mean, the only knowledge I have of it is the post as well as other posts I’ve seen with people that tell you to censor literally any little thing because it “triggers their PTSD”.

    cool, i don’t believe that at all. sounds like a convenient fiction to me. to me the ‘mind/soul can exist without the body’ is just ego-projection.

    we’re meatbags. nothing is separable. everything is embodied.

    do you know any disabled people? plenty of them get wheelchairs and such and live great lives. it’s their choice to be defined by the disability or not.

      This comes across as trolling. Positivity for disabilities is one thing but disabled people, about 100% of the time, would rather not be disabled. And I mentioned them because it counters your idea that anyone can be in control of their body or mind, and that not being in control of those things is a choice. Nobody is in full control of their mind.

        it’s only trolling to you because you’re 100% wrong. look at the deaf community, plenty of other disable communities would rather not be disabled, and often do have the choice but choose to remain disabled. because it doesn’t mean their life is ‘less than’, like you imply. hell plenty of disable people live fully richer lives than ‘abled’ people, because well, they choose too. plenty of overweight abled people who can’t walk a half mile vs people who don’t even have legs who can do marathon.

        yeah, the overweight fat people who can’t walk a mile also think they ‘aren’t fully in control’ of themselves too.

          Obviously they’re not, for that exact reason
