Crocodilia, like birds, are archosaurs.

I won’t quote and statistics here.

Weird. Wonder why

Fewer, not none. Adhd for example tends to interfere with the pursuit of longer term goals in some ways, regardless of society’s pressures and expectations. Those make it asymmetrically harder on top of everything else.

The social model of disability is essential, but it’s not the only perspective to keep in mind.

Because that empirically tends to negatively interfere with rehabilitative functions of justice. If crime is bad, preventing crime is good, and stopping crime prevention therefore is bad.

“Do you want this community to be about good things happening to people only or should it also include bad things happening to bad people?” would be more clear.

I think starting from a point of clarity in your own mind would help you here. “Uplifting” can mean many things, and the question is partially which concept of it you want this community to be about.

Is it good when someone responsible for so much suffering is experiencing hardship? Obviously. But the source of that goodness comes from a place where an evil person experiences something negative, and the only reason for this to be good is because of that starting evil. This also means that it is innately a bit of a reminder of the badness, which for many people can make it not-uplifting. There is no solution to this. Either reaction is valid, and you have to choose which type you want to foster here.

Politics is not a game and alleviating suffering is at its core political, and a staple of upliftingness. But this type of upliftingness is predicated on suffering. Choose, knowing that you can only ever please a subset of the population.

… What?

I find this post incomprehensible. The fictional veneer makes it more unclear what you’re trying to ask and the examples (?) seem like a random selection. The voting pattern seems to indicate that there are issues here for several people, maybe a clarification would be in order.
