Maps are intersex in Spain?

[Sigmaleph]

Mapa is not the only exception, actually! Words like clima, dogma, sistema, teorema all are masculine and end in -a. (plus some words that refer to people, like guardia or atleta, that can be masculine or feminine).

And there's also words like águila or hacha, which are feminine for all purposes except which definite article you use with them, because the two a's right next two each other in 'la águila' sound bad. Leading to constructions like "el águila calva" where the article is masculine and the adjective is feminine.

Prolly comes from the rather heavy influence Latin had on the Western world.  Don't get me wrong, Latin is truly the language of learned men, but its genders can get downright fucky, at times.

If college is this much of a problem for them, I have no idea how they're going to handle adult life.

Bills have to be paid by a certain date? Ableist.

I have to be at work when the schedule tells me I do? Ableist.

I have to stay until the end of my shift unless an emergency comes up? Ableist.

I have to pick up my kid from school? ABLEIST!

I have a court date due to punching a man in the eye for looking at me? ABLEIST!

I have to visit grandma's at a certain time? ABLEIST!!

"if you make them single themselves out as disabled to get aid you're ableist"

Usually, you need to explain the need for help to get the help. That's not ableist.

Sometimes it's almost trivial to add accommodations that make it easier for people with disabilities to not be impaired in college (and elsewhere in life). Most items on that list are debatable, and blanket condemnation of stuff as ableist is probably not productive, but I can sort of agree with the spirit of it.

I think Ultie's brain is starting to decay...

[Ultimate Paragon]

Well, I thought it fit better here.

Speaking as an abuse survivor, fuck off. (Also, OP's About Me page is a crock of shit too.

[niam2023]

So, would that piece's OP not mind then if I manipulated them, then?

[Even Then]

Well, they seem to have no problem with children manipulating their parents, so go nuts.

(Seriously though, I can understand why some people would be dishonest and manipulative out of fear, so OP has a half-point. Okay, a one-thirds-point. But that doesn't make being manipulated and lied to in a relationship not an emotionally hurtful thing, fuck.)
