If anything it's the car-dependent infrastructure that is ableist, as many people with disabilities cannot drive. I can't, and if I didn't live in a place where alternative modes of transport were a thing, I would either be stuck at home, or have to waste money on buying a specially made car.

Far from all disabled people use wheelchairs or have mobility issues. Some have problems with their sight, concentration, fine motor skills etc. which prevent them from driving safely. Even if you cannot walk or ride a bike, and have trouble getting on/off public transport by yourself, living in an environment that is walkable and bikeable usually means that it is also easier/safer to get around in a wheelchair or on a moped.

Americans seem very "fighty" compared to people from many other countries. You just have to say something that could be construed as liberal (the American kind) or conservative, too politically correct or incorrect, or mention you ride a bicycle or have an outdoor cat, to set some people off. With some Americans having a conversation is like navigating a minefield, especially those who have very little understanding of the rest of the world and reads everything you say into an American context, language barriers and all.

I love talking politics, and have had pleasant conversations with all kinds of people but I have learned from experience to just not bother with Americans, unless they're the very curious and open kind.

Apropos ulighed, så havde jeg en lidt spøjs oplevelse i bussen for et par måneder siden. Jeg var selv på vej hjem fra jobcentret, efter at have ansøgt om uddannelseshjælp (kontanthjælp for unge), og nær mig sad en mand og talte om at han havde været til ansættelsessamtale og aftalt løn. Han havde bedt om 85.000 kr., og det mente arbejdsgiveren var alt for lavt, så til sidst endte de vidst på 120.

Det er ikke fordi jeg ikke kan unde nogen at tjene 120.000 kr. om måneden, eller 500.000 kr. for den sags skyld, men hold da op hvor må vi leve i forskellige verdener, og dét er uretfærdigt. Ikke de dyre biler eller alle udlandsrejserne, men det at kunne spare op til pension, og det at have bedre adgang til for eksempel sundhedsvæsenet og uddannelsessystemet, eller om ikke andet at kunne betale selv, når de offentlige tilbud er utilstrækkelige.

I like to recite grammar rules or language facts to myself when I'm feeling stressed out, almost like a form of meditation.

People here are not for completely banning all cars, but for reducing the use of private cars. I personally don't think personal cars have a place in society (outside a couple of edge cases) and that we should start phasing them out. Other people just want better alternatives. I don't think I've ever seen anyone argue that disabled people, who need a car to get around should not be allowed to have one, or that we should ban taxis and moving companies from using cars.

I think that would be a very difficult trip to make without a car, but you could easily make that trip without a private car, especially in a society where that is the norm. You could either rent a car for a day or two, or use some kind of moving/transport/taxi service to get around.

Another perspective is that society would look different if is wasn't the norm to use cars to get around, and maybe you wouldn't need to travel as far to get to your local shows. I know nothing about showing dogs but I've grown up with ponies in my backyard, and from my childhood home (in the middle of nowhere by Danish standards) I could walk to a couple of horse camps and shows per year. Within an hours drive there was plenty to do, every weekend. We just kept our ponies as pets/lawn movers and took them camping or to a 4H show once in a while, and we rarely needed a trailer or even a car for that. When we did need a trailer, we would rent one at the local gas station or hitch a ride with someone.

I think school/work days would be shorter and more intense. Small talk and chit chat would not be an integrated part of a work/school day, but instead something that happened before or after school/work if you wanted to. A meeting wouldn't start with 10 minutes of "how have you been?" or random jokes, but instead jump right into business. Working from home would also be more common.

Having a niche hobby or working with something niche would be way more common, and hobbies would be viewed as more important than they are today. People without any hobbies or interests would be viewed as really weird.

Practical and comfortable clothes would also be more common, and fashion would be more erratic/varied. Pop culture would be less of a thing.

I think some people's self-worth relies on them being "good"/right/perfect, so they can't apologize without also hurting themselves. I don't really get it either, because in my experience being able to apologize when you need to, is a huge strength. People will overlook almost any mistake you've made when they know that you feel bad about it, instead of having it turn into an useless conflict.

Even if you don't feel like apologizing surely you can say "I didn't mean to hurt you and I'll try not to do it again" or even "I didn't mean to hurt you but I don't really care about your feelings/I think you're being unreasonable" so you know where they stand.

Det kommer aldrig til at fungere, deres kultur er på ingen måde kompatibel med vores.

De kommer her fra Tyskland, på trods af at vi har fået sat et vildsvinehegn op, og så sidder de bare hjemme og skyder unger ud mens de snylter på vores vildtbestand. Ikke nok med det, men de bryder også ind hos folk og stjæler deres får og spiser deres katte! Send dem hjem hvor de kommer fra! Eller endnu bedre, send dem til Grønland!

Jeg tror det handler mere om livsvilkår end kultur.

For rigtig mange filippinere og indere ville det at arbejde som SOSU i Danmark, være en forbedring af deres levevilkår. For danskere som er vokset op i middelklassehjem kan det nemt blive til en forringelse, og selv os underklassedanskere kan se at det giver langt mere mening at blive elektriker eller djøfer. Det er ærgerligt, for jeg tror egentlig at der er mange som gerne vil omsorgsfagene og som ville trives i dem, hvis arbejdsforholdene var bedre.

Hvis man gør det ordentligt tror jeg godt man kunne lave en ordning som gavner alle parter, men spørgsmålet er om vores politikere er interesserede i det.

Understanding that things are nuanced is not the same thing as not having opinions.

You can acknowledge that drinking alcohol can cause addiction, act as a social lubricant, and decide if you want to drink. You can even have an opinion on what you think alcohol's role in society should be and what should be done to prevent drunk driving.

Black/white thinking. Everything is either bad or good, the problem or the solution.

As a hobby artist, I think copyright should exist to protect individual artists commercial rights. Whether I sell my work or not, should be up to me. On the other hand, we should not punish people for finding inspiration in other people's works or using them as wallpapers, and usually we don't.

It should not be legal for H&M to scrape Artstation or Deviantart for images to print on their T-shirts, not even if 20 years have passed since it was posted. If they want to use an image, they should have to contact the artist and get permission first.

I think works owned by corporations is a different beast. Corporations should also be allowed to profit of their works, but I don't think they should be able to hold copyrights as a default. Copyright should protect those who make art, not those who commission art.
