Ableds be like, if I eat this diet/do this exercise/wear or don’t wear these clothes/live this lifestyle I’ll never become disabled!
Buddy have I got some harsh news for you…
The whole “you can escape disability with the right choices” form magical thinking is so deeply rooted in ableism. It always reminds me of James Fixx who started the jogging for health craze, then dropped dead of a heart attack while out running age 52.
For those of you not old enough to remember the tortuous explanations people went through to make his early death not about the running and make the running still be a guarantee that you’ll live to be 100 in perfect health - it was quite the circus.
Anyway disability is not a punishment for living a “bad” lifestyle and you can’t wish, hope, or plan your way out of it happening to you. Disability is a natural part of life and if you live long enough you will inevitably become disabled at some point.
Wow, you really cannot tell one abled they can’t good-behavior their way out of becoming disabled without three more jumping in to “explain” what the first one “really meant”, can you?
What you really meant was “I can good behavior my way out of disability (and therefore disability is a punishment for bad behavior)”. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works. Also that’s super fucking ableist and if you’re going to defend your ableism instead of ooh, idk, actually learning something I’m going to need you to fuck right off.

Just for the record Zodiac Killer hasn't been officially identified as Gary Poste! A highly questionable group of retired investigators calling themselves "the Case Breakers" claims that claims they've solved the case but it seems they don't have actual strong evidence, no one actually working on Zodiac case has announced anything, and almost no reputable source is reporting this. Currently it seems like a bunch of bullshit
Really excited to see the years pass since this joke was first posted, and seeing the new generation thinks this is some non-sequitor when it in fact references a specific old flash game that has long past its day in the light, in which the goal was to fucking demolish this guy.
