It’s a whole other discussion, but it often bleeds into this one.
Because people have a view of what mental health is, everything that doesn’t fit in that box is therefore laziness or lack of drive.

The other thing I always find funny in a "what a waste of time" sense! When people become purposefully obtuse for no real reason!
You mean to tell me you can't come up with any example where someone could hit you by accident? Not a single one?

Not as much as you might think. If someone punches you in the nose, you're going to bleed regardless of whether it was an accident or not.
We can't read people's minds, but we can evaluate actions on their own merit. Not only that, but a lot of people hide behind intent in order to not change their behavior. If it's continually an accident, you can continually keep doing the thing over and over again!
But, again, the important part here: the intent of an action doesn't negate the action. And, in this particular case, whether they intended to have an inaccessible stage or not doesn't change the fact that the stage was inaccessible.

I always find it funny, in a "what a waste of time" way, when people obsess over intent.
Who gives a shit if there was malicious intent? Dude still had to crawl onto the stage, no?

The implication here being that people with physical disabilities don't deserve to dance?

Probably not. After all, we have yet to reach the point of no return with AI, which is when outside forces actually have any sway in the matter.

LPT: if someone asks you questions that google can easily answer, it’s because they trust and value your opinion.

As to not get too split-hairy here, I just want to focus on the definition of a symptom vs the phenomenon of masking.
You (and presumably the other commenter) are talking about masking. Were happiness to be a symptom of depression, like, say, a fever is a symptom of the flu, you'd have to evaluate every person who displays happiness to test for depression. We know that's not remotely true.
That is because, as a symptom, people would put on a happy face because they're depressed, and not to hide their depression. That's the difference.

But you understand the difference between this comment and your other comment, right?

Glad someone else got the rant out first.
