Yeah, but not worse than just “bad”, whereas “evilness” sounds worse compared to just “evil.”
My point is that it might not the most colloquial of English use, but MLK Jr didn’t exactly speak vernacular either.
So just because something sounds a tad off doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. And in a lot of cases it’s the opposite, because languages just keep evolving.
I thought exactly that. Opened the post, upvoted this thread.
However couldn’t not Google it, and it may be on purpose.
evilness
noun
evil·ness
: the quality of being evil : badness
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evilness
While it does sound better with just “evil”, I wonder if they wished to exactly convey that what is being created is the quality of being evil in some people. All in all, that goes under the umbrella of evil, sure. But if we replace “evilness” with “badness”, it no longer sounds worse than the alternative, just “inequality creates bad”. Ofc you can’t compare directly like that, I’m just trying to make the point that black civil activist haven’t historically been that bad at language use, so perhaps we’re just feeling the more colloquial version but that this may be prescriptively better, idk.
I’m no languinolologist.
Aka the grocer’s apostrophe
I mean, as an actual disabled person… By just like, backing up to it?
Well, as an actual disabled person, how many different chairs do you have on a daily basis? Because as a taxi driver driving around disabled people, there’s a lot of different chairs.
I’ve never seen one without a backrest. Do you have one?
Could you back into that with a chair? Ofc.
But if yours has a backrest like all the other chairs, you’ll hit the backrest before with the back of your chair before you’d be in the same line as a person leaning back on other parts of the bench.
Not to even mention that a ton of the people that I know who use chairs have often have a bag or a backpack hanging back there.
I don’t want to be around when they pull into a parking spot and then can’t drive forward out of it…
As a professional driver, I can tell you that if you have to choose a parking place between a space that’s only just and just free (three cars around it, all parked tightly so as to not leave any extra room even close to the line), and one that is completely free, not a single car around it, you choose the latter one.
Can I reverse into the former? Ofc. Even just a few years after I started, when I was still very young, around 20, I made grown (and somewhat drunk) men give a little shriek as they thought I would crash the car when driving in places where they thought a car wouldn’t fit (because people were picked up usually from in front of a bar, and bars can exist in the weirdest places.)
So with that logic in mind, my question is why would you, as a chair user, ever want to back in to this bench, when you could just park next to it, effectively lengthening the bench?
Put 1,000 hotel rooms, but only 5 are made for accessibility? Your store has a wheelchair ramp, all the fuck at the end of the building near the loading docks?
Not a problem in the EU/Finland (idk which the regulations comes from) We got building regulations.
Shit, even paving walkways, in fucking modular concrete squares, suck ass: when (not if) the front wheels get stuck, especially if I’m being pushed, my ass gets launched.
I would’ve been proud if this wasn’t a problem either, but as someone who regularly pushed chairs, I’m so goddamn disappointed in my own city. They remodelled the market square for a parking garage they wanted to build below it. Corruption and capitalism wins and after years and years of talks, more years of building and millions of euros, we got an utterly shit market square made of roughly 40cm x 40cm tiles which won’t stay the fuck down because of the soil. I haven’t had to push a chair through that yet but I dread it for any one who does, be they pushing their own chairs or getting pushed. Hell, I’ve almost fallen down several times and I like to think I have good awareness in general.
It would be bad enough when a completely abled person falls off their feet, seems it would be much more devastating to someone in a chair, let alone if they’re traveling solo. Thankfully it’s literally the busiest place in the city, so at least anyone who gets hurt will get help quickly, but still.
It used to be centuries old paved stone, as stable as, well idk, something really stable. Perhaps a bit bumpy for a chair user, but honestly only a tiny bit, dad used to take lots of his customers in chairs there for coffee. He had his own taxi-van with a chair-lift in the back, that’s how I started as a taxi driver, working for him. And he started because his dad (my grandpa) had the first taxi the town I was born in. My father chose to prominently tape “Gentleman of the Road” in the back of the van. For aura farming when he wouldn’t start accelerating to speeding just because some dick was hurrying him up. He really impresses upon me the need to keep the car stable. But whenever he didn’t have customers in there, just me, it wasn’t as smooth, as he raced on the slippery backroads like the pro he was.
It sucks ass being disabled, but god damn it’s like the dumbest people get assigned to accessibility planning.
I do empathise and honestly while I criticise a ton of things about Finland, infrastructure for disabled access is really one thing I can’t help but be somewhat proud of. Let me see if I have a photo I took perhaps last year. It might be my previous phone and then it’s lost. (Actually binned my old phone by accident, a top of the line flagship phone that only had the sim-reader faulty gooooooooodammit I still blame myself so much for that fuckup.)
Oh I do have the photos, yeah.
This is an outhouse with disabled access, along a nature path of which roughly 60-70% is available with a chair. The route goes around a small lake and while it is regrettable the whole path isn’t available, I think even a majority of it being available is a win. Half of it is this well maintained gravel footpath that you can sort of see the material there, but around a third or so is really craggy forest on the beach on the other side and I’d argue the amount of nature you’d have to completely get rid off to pave that part as well, the places designation as a “nature trail” would really lose something. Mainly the view from the main side of the lake, which would affect disabled people as well.
And how exactly would one even back a wheelchair into that? Wheelchairs have backrests already, so you’d just hit the backrest of this bench before being on the same line as the other people sitting on it.
I mean, that’s a very sweeping generalisation, which sort of ignores reality. There’s clearly a lot of protesting, and I, as I’m sure you have as well, have seen videos of people being murdered on the street to the cries of “stop resisting” even when the person didn’t do jack shit, only tried to hold on to their 1st and 4th amendment rights. And the end up under the knee of some psycho powertripper, repeating “I can’t breathe” for minutes before finally succumbing to death.
Also nowadays I believe using AI is rather more common than photoshop.
The reason we’ve evolved to tune out whatever taste water may have, is because we need to be able to detect when there’s shit in it. Literally. But also anything else non-suitable.
Which is why waters taste slightly different as we never drink distilled water really. Not that it’s somehow toxic, but drinking only distilled water when there’s no food and then sweating a lot would dehydrate you eventually.
Hydrophobia is still very much the name of one of the symptoms that rabies has.
As in a doctor might write “patient exhibits hydrophobia, rabies suspected” or something. Although most doctors wouldn’t ever be in a situation like that, but still.
Socrates was wrong guys
Yeah, he was, about a lot. But what specifically do you mean?
Oh damn I didn’t even notice I thought my phone had some dust or thrash on it but yeah theyve censored the i in “died”
You’re basically talking to yourself without realising it.
You can’t even formulate a sentence on what I was supposedly wrong in. I can. You were wrong that I haven’t lifted multiple reasons to vote for the left, and the fact that even in the first comment, I already saw right through you.
You’re just spreading “don’t support the left” propaganda, but you’re too dumb to realise how painfully obvious you make it to every literate adult to see it’s exactly what you’re doing.
I’ve repeated in every single reply that you’re spreading Russian propaganda. I’ve asked if you’re doing it on purpose, or if you’re just brainwashed and don’t realise you are. About 100 times. Over a week. You desperately avoid even mentioning it, for obvious reasons.
Look, here’s the same link I put in my first comment (which eveyone can see.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_disinformation
Often Russian campaigns aim to disrupt domestic politics within Europe and the United States in an attempt to weaken the West due to its long-standing commitment to fight back against “Western imperialism” and shift the balance of world power to Russia and her allies. According to the Voice of America, Russia seeks to promote American isolationism, border security concerns and racial tensions within the United States through its disinformation campaigns.
Go cry to babushka that you’re getting bullied online by literate people using logic — SO UNFAIR!
I’ve had plenty of socialised medicine in the past 10 years. During which the right have taken away free dental from kids. Just like I said in my first comment. I would taunt your literacy skills, but while I know them to be shit as well, you’re either engaging in really bad faith or you’re genuinely just as stupid as you pretend to be.
You still can’t control your projection. So clearly you’re having some anxiety over replying, like kids as you always do at this point.
So, are you spreading Russian propaganda on purpose or are you too dumb to realise you’re doing it?
“Wyaaah wyaaah the left has done nothing you should vote thw right”
Perhaps you should reread the chain. Seems like you’ve missed a bunch. Perhaps it’s because you’re not a native speaker?
So, are you spreading Russian propaganda on purpose, or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it? As anyone reading the thread will notice, that’s what I’ve kept asking you for nigh a week now.
I’ve put down thousands of kids like you. You’ll keep replying without being able to address what we’re speaking about, until your tantrum will get so bad you’ll block me. Might take up to three weeks. But once your profile is filled with one word replies as you won’t be able to anything else but “lol k” you’ll then block me and go cry in your bathroom.
You’re literally shaking with anger and frustration.

What’s that? I’ve been repeating myself for a week because you’re so childish you’re pretending half of my comments don’t exist? Oooh little babby is having first Internet row! Gz!
Only took you a week of “b-b-but look ÄÄÄÄÄMEERRICA, what äbout Äääämeeerica” after which you reluctantly accept GDPR is actually good example of a policy the left has pushed through. I’m not having a discussion with you. I’m making you have a meltdown so everyone sees what you are. And you’re dancing to my tune, lil Katya, just like I said a week ago. :))))
You remember how I was talking about “projection”?
You might want to check it since you clearly don’t know what it means.
So, are you spreading Russian propaganda on purpose, or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it? As anyone reading the thread will notice, that’s what I’ve kept asking you for nigh a week now.
But yeah, I am right in that eveyone reading this will laugh. Just like I said several comments ago. To you. Who’s now repeating it to me. If only I could communicate to you how accurately you’re behaving exactly like the other 1000+ kids I’ve gone through this with. You just can’t address the things you’ve said.
Oh and does babby not understand how military reserves work either? Or was it stolen valor that I’m doing?
Can’t be both. But you won’t be able to accept you believe either, because then it’d show you were arguing in bad faith *or" wrong. And that’s just something your weak little psyche can’t take. ::(((
Ooh little babby is trying to turn the tables, because little babby mad, little babby has made themselves look silly and little babby never silly, never wrong!!
It’s one of the first comments
Oh, *one of the first" comments in which you keep pretending American politics are global, like the uneducated Ruski you are?
Yeah. It’s still AFTER my answer. You keep shifting your goals and I can show you several comments where you’re straight up pretending 2016 WAS NOT less than 10 years ago? You know, to delude yourself.
Because that’s all you’re capable of. You will never accept what you’re actually doing. I feel so sorry for people like you.
Also you notice the part in the start where you’re considering what other people think of this? It is true, people like laughing. But the sort of laugh you’re pretending to have is the one I’ve seen a million times. You’re afraid and feel bad. You can’t admit to mistake, nor to the fact you’re pushing propaganda. You can’t even discuss it. Because it’s painfully obvious to anyone who didn’t suffer your upbringing and (wildly inbred?) genetics.
Uh I love it when you project like that. You think you’re being a tough guy but honestly you’re just giving me a list of your insecurities.
So, that’s a “I am actually that dumb, but I am doing it on purpose” as an answer to whether you’re spreading Russian propaganda purposefully or if you’re just too dumb to realise you’re doing it.
You’re literally having a meltdown and screaming and probably physically feeling rage when you open my comments, then you realise we can all read through your bullshit and eveyone is familiar with this childish model of behaviour.
So you’re now pretending you didn’t shift goalposts, by constantly saying “noooo you haven’t answered me” and then pretending GDPR isn’t from the past 10 years?
“BUT WHAT ABOUT”
You’re still pretending that you’re not spreading apathy on purpose or that you simply don’t have the balls to answer the part where I point out that’s a Russian propaganda. Because either you are too uneducated and unintelligent to understand it is, or you do and you’re still spreading it.
One or the other. ;>
You’re seriously pretending adult people gather around to watch internet debates? Have you never had friends or have you just not experienced what it’s like to be an adult?
You’ve linked to a comment where you refuse to address the fact I’ve answered your ridiculous goal shifting by proving you wrong. But that’s something you just don’t have the confidence for; ever saying “I was wrong”. And that’s why you don’t have any friends and especially no girlfriends.
Because with every fiber of your being you show you’re petty and childish. ;>
So, are you spreading Russian propaganda on purpose, or are you just too dumb to realise it?
I said GDPR was arguable but a decent example but not exactly a left victory
No you fucking didn’t. You kept pretending I hadn’t achieved your impossible shifted goals, despite the fact I did. Now that you acknowledge I did, you’re like “yeah, but, like, that’s not what I asked for”.
Fking gross bad faith.
So are you spreading Russian on propaganda on purpose or are you just too dumb to realise you’re doing it?
That’s more of a neologism, whereas “evilness” veers more toward the archaic.
