Accessibility is such a broad topic that if you sell it as a feature, and management treats it like a feature, then it never ships because there's always something to work on and in the end the poll ends up being a feel-good bit for the company: "See? We asked our users if they want accessibility look at how awesome we are" and then it just keeps getting kicked down the road as too hard. Also, nobody would ever dream of going "Vote for whether or not our app/site is visually appealing" that just happens. Accessibility is supposed to be that way too and we're not doing anyone any favors by pretending that having a poll on it is something awesome. I'm also not saying that people should do anything like harass or anything remotely close because we don't like the fact it's being put to a poll. Just gotta put that out there in case anyone is tempted to get the idea to start doing stupid shit over this.

Because (1) accessibility is not a feature and we shouldn't encourage its treatment as such, and (2) it's 2024 why are we still playing the hunger games when it comes to accessibility?

Oh no I hope they knock it off because good coffee does not require making the coffee smell overpower everything else.

@tedfolkman Babka does *a ton* to shut down antisemitism including limiting instances full of it. That's why you're not seeing a t on of antisemitism.

@emilyk @sickmatter Oh and she's also having to cope with acquiring a life-altering disability that will require her to significantly adapt how she lives her day to day life. That's a huge task, and just on that alone, anybody who has a problem with anything she's said at this point after her release can shut the fuck up and have several seats.

@emilyk @sickmatter I understand the sentiment that she shouldn't be consulted for military advice, but I completely understand where she's coming from, I've said worse t hings about my abusers over my life, and I sincerely hope and pray that she gets the care she needs and the help to pick up the pieces and reassemble them so that she can have a life where coping doesn't consume all her energy.

Mazal tov!

@MariaHill @Sunspot Yeah I'm in Tony's position and he's right. YOu don't get those things back once you give them away.

@Sunspot @MariaHill I genuinely do not understand how anyone can say with a straight face that if Trump is re-elected will cause some sort of revolution let alone for good. Did they just sleep through the last decade or somet hing?

A poo driver. And no I'm not joking about that.

@Sunspot @TonyStark It's not that they think TFG would make things better, it's that they want to hurt the democrat s and the Jews for not exclusively supporting those who can't bring themselves to condemn Hamas and what they did on October 7.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this, and having gone through the whole family not accepting thing when I converted 25 years ago, I know how painful it is. I hope and pray in your case they get over themselves and learn to accept you for who you are, including your choice to join the Jewish people. Oh, and mazel tov and welcome!

This entire thread. Thank you.

@cachondo @remixman This is what I do. I just have to remember to put my phone on "do not disturb" when I'm reading in bed lol.

@sapphireangel I use my phone, but lately have been really wishing I had a discrete reading device again. Having books not attached to your phone has its advantages, but also disadvantages.

@sapphireangel That makes at least four of us.

Happy New Year to you and Ty from John and I. We hope the next year is filled with blessings for you two.

@BorrisInABox Let's start with "what, exactly, does the prompt look like for this?" And, "Did you write the prompt before or after the gummy was in full effect?"
