Temporal is the replacement for the Date API.

given how common the "you're the sole survivor of a spaceship crash on a hostile planet" story is in factory games, someone should make a reverse-factory game where you play as an alien tracking down and destroying colonizers who fall out of the sky and try to turn your planet into green tech cards

yep! like, if you want to test ability to perform under time pressure, be explicit about it, and justify why you think that's useful. otherwise it's a pointless distraction

("abusable" accomodation = something that gives abled people a leg up too. e.g. having a reader doesn't really give you a leg up and I would be surprised to hear if someone was abusing that accomodation)

yeah I'm not saying a universal solution is always possible
though specifically in the case of education abusable accomodations are very often patching up a flaw in the system that has nothing to do with disability

lol I love "we have a time limit because our students are self-detrimentally too tryhard"
(from what I remember the time restriction was mostly about keeping people from neglecting studying for other classes because they spent all of finals week banging their head against one problem they'd gotten stuck on)

At my weirdo tiny "SLAC but every major is STEM" undergrad it was pretty common for exams to be "you have 24h from whenever you open it to finish it" or similar, and I realize that's a lot easier at a tiny school but imo fundamentally it's the right model for most things
but, basically, "extra time on tests" really need not be analyzed as an accomodation in the first place, it *could* be looked at as a way of improving the testing system for everyone. and that's one way out of the "abusing accomodations" death spiral

an additional problem is that a lot of people are Stockholm'd to the bad proxy being The Point, Actually, where people think that a math test *should* test for your ability to math under time pressure

a solution there is to design tests that do not have an associated time pressure; i.e. make it so that everyone gets "extra time"
the main problem is that there's a resource constraint here: proctoring tests for double the time needs more resources if it's just the default

but they weren't *supposed* to evaluate that! and this bad proxy hurts everyone, because getting good at passing tests under time pressure is a separate skill that can be specifically trained

but they weren't *supposed* to evaluate that! and this bad proxy hurts everyone, because getting good at passing tests under time pressure is a separate skill that can be specifically trained
for example, the classic one: extra time on tests.
this is an accomodation because tests are a bad proxy for evaluating skill: they also, unfortunately, evaluate your ability to perform under time pressure.
this matters for some people more than others, hence, the accomodation

it's hard but I also feel that in many cases the solution lies in making the "accomodation" no longer an "accomodation" and just something available to everyone, or entirely obviated by the system
*especially* in education where most of these things are about bad proxies anyway

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

if you want your religious gear to be tactical you should just convert to sikhism instead of doing whatever this is
yesterday I learned that there's a whole market segment of "masculine rosaries / rosaries for men," if you wanna know how the cope is going for MRA types who are trying to work their way up to Catholic cosplay
