No, I’m an adult, I can decide how best to handle someone insulting me.

Sex workers have enough to deal with, they don’t need their perfectly decent job being associated with gross, corrupt, cheap politicians.

It’s also never ok to tell other people how to manage their own emotions or social situations.

Imagine being her?

And it relies on selfish people, an endless resource.

I say we as a whole, unfortunately the country chose a safe pair of hands over change. I don’t have any feeling if that will change in a few years, but I’m not hopeful.

Thank you, I’m fine, I’ll just side step that person from now on. I didn’t have a lot of respect for them to lose anyway, so it’s no great loss.

I’m feeling disabled people are just useful “others” right now, essential to that kind of anger based politics.

They changed the subject, we haven’t discussed it yet.

The host stepped in to change subject, I think observing my silence that had the potential to become unpleasant for all.

The Kyle fellow may have to be excluded, there needs to be at least some form of competition.

I think this really depends on us. We seem to be voting for it, not against it.

Apart from the obvious inaccuracy and the condescension, we were both guests in someone else’s home, how can any adult possess such poor manners?

Not sure, but assisted by family cash.

I think another layer on this is the current American, libertarian, everyone is getting something I’m not bullshit that our media peddles to the ignorant.

Chalmers is a straight up Tory too.

I think just a sucker for shock jock radio and tv, and not intelligent enough to think it through.

It was like a shoddy radio shock jock, but in real life, within slapping distance.

Kent Parkstreet, Laird of Doofus @kentparkskeet.bsky.social · 6h

Some people just need slapping.

Last night I was told I’m one of the “good” disabled people, as opposed to all the others who “just always ask for more money”.

As I was a guest in the home of a friend no one was slapped.

This isn’t within the job description of a police union.

One solution to AI and other tech distorting our realities is to stage acoustic music, exhibitions in studios where we can see the artists working, town hall meetings where people sit quietly to allow humans to speak at human volume.

To preserve civilisation we need to become more civilised.
