The birds of prey are way cooler.

Their French dip sub is glorious. I stopped going since the pandemic inflation until the deals through their mobile app made their prices competitive again.

Would you consider yourself anti-antisemite?

The word Jew at least makes some sense: it’s commonly understood to refer to the Jewish religion or people. Semite however makes little sense as it doesn’t really mean Jewish people. It’s a backward, antiquated, imprecise holdover from 18th century historians (who coined racial terms from the bible).

In more civilized parts of the world, that’s just how it’s done: no questions necessary.

anti-human

Don’t insult anti-humans. Conservatives are anti-fun.

without some of the extreme fetishism that is on the internet (e.g. cuckoldry, gooning)

What’s wrong with those?

So, unrelatable & mildly infuriating? Cool.

All these ICE impersonators make me wonder if refugees & illegal immigrants should impersonate ICE. 🤔

Not in favor of helping dumbass humans no matter who they are. Humans are not endangered. Humans are ruining the planet. And we have all these other species on the planet that need saving, so why are we saving those who want out?

If someone wants to kill themselves, some empty, token gesture won’t stop them. It does, however, give everyone else a smug sense of satisfaction that they’re “doing something” by expressing “appropriate outrage” when those tokens are absent, and plenty of people who’ve attempted suicide seem to think the heightened “awareness” & “sensitivity” of recent years is hollow virtue signaling. Systematic reviews bear out the ineffectiveness of crisis hotlines, so they’re not popularly touted for effectiveness.

If someone really wants to kill themselves, I think that’s ultimately their choice, and we should respect it & be grateful.

Seems more like a dumbass people problem.

Maybe unlearn that or learn to throw it back?

Letting the other camp “own” signs like fake news, 👌🏼, or facts over feelings is basically cooperating with them & validating whatever they decide those signs mean for the rest of us. Yet the literal meaning of those words (& signs) can serve anyone. Language can be creative, no?

Instead of ceding to them like a bunch of feeble losers (and implying we only argue with feelings), maybe we should reappropriate what was given, stir confusion, apply some creativity to make those signs serve us against the “dickwads” we oppose?

That purity mentality of recoiling from anything “tainted” by those we oppose isn’t useful. It’s better to restore, redeem, create.

Problem? Seems as good a way as any to say conflicting feelings can go suck a dick when they need to reconcile with these facts over here. Dumb to get peeved over that.

Brah, chain rule & function composition.

You had me pondering…yes, quotation dash: it is a thing in English, just less common!

Please disregard what I wrote before: you had it almost correct, but use quotation dashes ― as you suggested before. Some OSes offer nice character pickers for less common punctuation: for example, Windows summons it with WindowsKey-.. Apologies.

It’s not realistic for all users to follow semantics

Not realistic for users to write lists the normal way that doesn’t look wrong? I don’t know guys

-first

-second

-third

looks obviously bad whereas

- first
- second
- third

looks right. Then you see the rendered result in preview. You also had a button in the toolbar to create a list.

I don’t think this is asking much.

If you weren’t trying to write a list, though, then I don’t know what you were doing & I doubt a chat bot will either: could you link to an example of what you were trying to do? For all you know, I’m a chat bot not figuring out your intent. No technology is about to fix PEBKAC.

I think the bottom line is if you write lists normally, then everything else including accessibility will turn out right without you needing to understand the intricacies.

It doesn’t look like a list to me

Then the - weren’t needed.

Maybe instead of people needing to apply exacting rules to accommodate an accessibility tech

1. Nah, writing a space the conventional way suffices: - SPACE list item. Even aesthetically, the plain text looks atrocious without a space there & worse when rendered.
2. The technology is fine, there was even a button in the toolbar. It’s not that hard to figure out to anyone trying: there’s a preview button & they can edit.

All anyone has to do is (1) follow regular convention or (2) use the technology. Getting this wrong despite the technology & standard convention is less a technology problem & more a user problem.

Edit: I understand what you both meant now: quotation dashes. They’re less common in English, but still correct! Edited my comment above to reflect this. Thanks.

The US authorized use of force on Al-Qaeda

Is that even needed? The War Powers Act

requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States

Congress can still be notified, and 60 days haven’t elapsed.

Edit: Nevermind. I now see unless war is declared, the president requires specific statutory authorization or a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

Good question: for basic accessibility, structure should be conveyed, which adds

when technologies support programmatic relationships, it is strongly encouraged that information and relationships be programmatically determined

The web supports programmatic relationships through correct markup, so the technique using semantic elements to mark up structure applies, specifically by using ol, ul and dl for lists or groups of links or the markdown equivalent.

If you want to experience this yourself, then put on a blindfold, use a screenreader & compare your “list” to mine.

So breaking accessibility for the heck of it? How forward-thinking.

- Why there are pyramids in Egypt?
- Because Brits couldn’t moved them to British Museum.

Markdown guide is in the toolbar (?⃝) alongside a button for lists.

Edit: Disregard. They were trying to do quotation dashes.
