Game dev and tinkerer farting around at life from Copenhagen. I specialise in game accessibility and diving into hobbies.

Autistic & ADHD, it’s not personal if there aren’t tone tags and I didn’t get it.
Even to the point where even being flexible enough to consider an alternative system that would allow more flexibility is an impossibility

Did they not watch Sesame Street 🤣 too true. I keep feeling like “this was everywhere. You couldn’t avoid it. How could you not learn this?”

All they had to do was say they couldn’t help with lifting the scooter (probably a liability thing), are you ok with some alternative?

Just. Cancelling it on you unilaterally? Awful behaviour, sorry that happened

“But people don’t want those ugly things they don’t need”

Yo if you don’t see the beauty in someone being able to access their home, then I don’t know how to help you. Your world must be so drab. If you buy a place with a ramp, you just expanded your friendship pool. How’s that an ugly world?

That’s pretty much the mechanism of white supremacy. People are always like, but why do you care? And I’m like???? Cause we’re next. It’s always someone else.

Funnily enough, “communication is a two way street” was always used to describe why I was wrong, not why the “other guy” also needed to try harder

Hate is hate, it’s not enough to stand by and allow for hate not directed at us, we must not tolerate hate towards anyone.

From elsewhere in the thread: they’ve done one and decided it’s a price they’re willing to pay

“Justify” is so much to say 😂

There are a lot of people who will happily suffer for a cause they consider just

The decision to use it was at least partially because it’s far more readable to more people on screens.

Of course, the point in official communications isn’t for many people to get them, it’s to look official. I’m sure you can see why it’s a DEI frivolity to favour inclusion over looking good.

Failures make you better, success makes you complacent

you know yourself, you say? well, it’s not what i would do, so are you *sure*?

Maybe the issue is that we’ve built a society that requires vehicles to participate in, in many instances, and if we want to lower spending on the patch, we should look for an underlying fix?

Unfortunately, some folks seem insistent on comparing needs to wants.

If taxpayers that “fund” it can’t afford a car, and also have a need for it, then they should also have access to help, right?

Trying to treat everyone with a given diagnosis uniformly will never help, that’s why these programs are *criteria* based, not condition based. Impact on daily life has as much to do with environment as it does condition.

Interesting, you’re right, I double checked and *I* have used YouTube on switch. I wonder what I’m thinking of, because there was something about them not wanting it to be seen as a general purpose device. It escapes me 😂

🤞 fingers crossed for getting the videos, ofc

If it’s anything like the switch, iirc: because Nintendo see it as a “games” device, and for that reason, don’t approve streaming apps. They don’t really treat it as multimedia, and I wonder if it’s because they don’t want to compete with smaller tablets?
