Hey, so starting in nine days, if you were Disabled before age 46, you can have your own ABLE account (in the U.S.).
And I have this thread on how to go about choosing an ABLE account.
And I have this thread on how to go about choosing an ABLE account.
As a Disabled person who has my own ABLE account, I've been asked to say a little bit about it. And honestly, I've started a few times in the past but part of the problem is ABLE accounts vary so much from state to state and part of the problem is, as Dan writes, they're hard to understand.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

So, by using "X", therefore aiding it financially through ad content, people are funding CSAM.
While this raises very interesting legal issues, I strongly suggest that you do do not in fact check Grok's replies. Because if, as the posts suggest, they contain "undressed" pictures of minors, you would be choosing to access CSAM (child sexual abuse material) which may mean committing a crime.

Artists famously do not like fascists. The two things do not co-exist! The fascists know this and think they can replace human art with AI "art" or whatever, and good luck to them!
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.
