nobody is actually arguing otherwise
OP claimed that
"Grammar and spelling ... are not related to intelligence"
Because they lack the ability to adapt to more varied information gathering methods.
LOL
you should be able to realise that two different things can coincidentally create the same effect
I stated a second, different cause in addition to the cause OP presented and yet you're telling me there can be two different causes of the same effect. OP is the person you need to be telling. It's OP who doesn't seem to understand that the existence of dyslexia doesn't impact the quality of language skills of stupid people.
Language skills are a useful tool. Not a requirement for intelligence.
Stupid people tend to have poor language skills.
Dyslexia, op's sight condition and a myriad of other conditions are not linked to intelligence but can result in poor grammar when written
Stupidity can and often does, also result in poor grammar.

And what is that going to solve exactly? What is it that this is a "solution" to?

What other climate activist groups?
regulating the most destructive industries and forcing them to stop releasing greenhouse gasses
And what is that going to solve exactly?
Sadly, the technology doesn't currently exist to create a real lightsaber. However, you can pack a toy lightsaber in your carry-on or checked bag. May the force be with you.

Over the past few years, I've noticed an increase in the number of smelly people out and about. In particular, it seems like there's been a sharp increase in the number of people unable to clean themselves properly after going to the toilet.
This increase has been since at least lockdowns ended. It used to be that maybe once in a while there'd be the odd person you'd turn away from or maybe one regular grumpy post office customer who always stank but now it seems like every time I go out there's a minimum of one random person who is utterly offensive and either doesn't realise or doesn't care.
It makes sense to me that people who live alone would become more lax in their personal hygiene during lockdown. Perhaps it was always this way and I'm being retro-romantic about pre-lockdown times. Perhaps it's because I shop at Asda, I don't know.
Has anyone else noticed an increase in smelly people in the past few years?
Edit: bewildered by the downvotes.
Is it possible to upgrade feddit.uk to the latest release of Lemmy so that we can make use of this patch to export user account data?
Even though the site has tens of thousands of visitors a year, including many school trips, visitor numbers have dropped since the Covid pandemic
Usually when I'm scrolling, the feed will have posts added to the bottom. Sometimes however, I'll get to the bottom of the feed and there are no more posts. Sometimes if I drag up the posts up, more posts will then appear. Sometimes if I scroll up a bit and then back down, more posts will appear. However, sometimes neither scrolling up a bit and then back down nor dragging the posts up makes more posts appear.
How is this supposed to work? Why do more posts sometimes not appear? It's quite infuriating. And what makes it more infuriating is not understanding what the program is supposed to be doing.
Thanks.
