Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I’m sorry, that was wrong of me, I was ableist in that comment and I’ll leave it or delete based on your input. I’m thinking leaving it up so others who might see it might learn from my mistake on the off chance they didn’t already know better…just in case, but idk.
I was projecting my own experiences and should not have done that. Not all labor markets are the same and employers discriminate a hell of a lot behind the scenes despite the minimal protections.
I was wrong, thanks for calling me on it
Thank you, that's decent of you. I get comments like that a lot and I have never had someone respond with an apology. There are also definite cases of employer discrimination that affect these statistics in more or less subtle ways, too- we know for a fact it took us longer to get any calls back because we didn't have a car even though we live in a metro area, and that my wife has a deep voice that people get really shitty about. Both of those things lead to her getting passed over, in our experience anyway. When I was a younger guy it would have been super easy for me, but I am not either of those things anymore too, lol.
That’s kind of you to say, but I was clearly i the wrong based off assumptions I made based on myself and my privilege, I have able bodied, if not able minded privilege.
For what it’s worth, I truly do regret that comment. I was bitter about all the office workers complaining about how the economy is finally hard for them too because it’s always been hard for people without that access. It led to me punching towards a comrade. Th
