@wiljames That's probably a contributing factor, otherwise it wouldn't have shown up in the news because typically disability stuff like this doesn't get mainstream coverage. Lack of accommodation for students with disabilities in religious schools is nonetheless an actual problem.

@wiljames I don't think parents realize their kids with disabilities aren't going to be accommodated. Religious schools aren't exactly shouting that from the rooftops.

@wiljames I can't speak for Wil but honestly I object to religious institutions receiving tax exemption as well as federal funds period but that's a larger issue.

@wiljames No we object to tax payer funds being used for religious schools, which take advantage of religious freedom in order to avoid abiding by laws intended to ensure they don't discriminate against students with disabilities.

@drew @matt You just need more practice.

@matt Yeah I know. On all of this. I'd say something to them about picking battles and such but man I just don't have the energy or patience.

@matt There's some really scary "AI" shit going on right now, (looking at you Microsoft with your recall project), but FF using AI to do automatic image descriptions isn't part of it. Unfortunately a lot of AI-skeptical arguments are pretty lazy at this point though, and I'm sure that's part of the dust-up.

@mekkaokereke Suspension of license happens all the time here. And as someone who is fully reliant on the driving of others I absolutely empathize with people in this situation because when you can't drive you are pretty much screwed in this country. I get the importance of on-time child support, my brother and sisters and I relied on it as kids. And our father was a total jerk about it and it wasn't because he couldn't afford it. But suspending someone's driver's license over it is completely counterproductive in all kinds of ways.

That the plan has been poorly thought through and that it will likely not succeed.

Monday's internet win.

@feedback I love jazz too I will absolutely check this out.

@IHasWisdom Yes. Because otherwise we're going to make sure you pay for those sins at least one more time. Whether or not it happens more often depends on whether or not we lose the paperwork, and honestly we're bad at record-keeping.

The thing I remember about Google Goggles is glassholes.

@summersun704 Yeah that's cool too.

@TRodick93 I like the idea of ages as levels better. Can't remember who shared that but saw it on here at some point.

@summersun704 LOL this is funny.

@summersun704 Sorry I just didn't realize there's that much of an age difference between us.

I wonder why they don't like the pond?

Oh no I really thought from an earlier post that they had found a way to correct the hearing loss. Hang in there Bruce you're in our thoughts ETC.

Welcome!
