Far more likely that whoever installed the clock just forgot to change the units.

What an incredible view!

Gandalf never forgave him for knocking that shit down the well.

It's made of MEAT?

That's disgusting. Imagine letting that pumpkin-skinned goblin touch you.

Yeah that's the New Republic for you.

An understandable Freudian slurp.

Nobody ever said he was normal. Shit, he's a fucking Kennedy. Could there be a bigger red flag than that?

I'm just beyond throwing everyone connected to him into the same category. People marry and stay married for lots of reasons. It's gotten so fucking tedious the way we try to put everyone and everything in one box or another, without any way of actually knowing what's really inside of them.

And then if she doesn't denounce him, then BOOM, CANCELED, amirite?

Meh. I gave up investing emotionally in the opinions of celebrities a long time ago. I'll still continue watching and enjoying Curb regardless.

There's some serious slippery slope fallacy going on in this thread.

I never meant to imply that it did. But humans are complex creatures, and our relationships doubly so.

Oh of course, the list of horrors is endless. Philosophers desperate to maintain the existence of a benevolent deity have wrestled for two thousand years to solve the problem of evil, and none of them ever came any closer than shrugging and presuming that there must be an unsurmountable flaw in our understanding of the universe that blinds us to his plan. A flaw in us, his allegedly perfect creation. Whoops, there's that nagging contradiction again.

I mean the easiest solution is to enable a toggle to just switch them off. As many people have pointed out they're usually superfluous or used mainly for emphasis anyway. It's doubtful that much actual meaning would be lost.

What I had in mind immediately at first was a more sonic implementation, where certain emojis would be expressed as sound effects rather than simply dictated as descriptive phrases. 👏 would be expressed as a clap sound, etc. Naturally I recognize this would be massively unrealistic effort to implement, but maybe if your concern is accessibility then that's what you should be shooting for. Rather than limiting what non-disabled persons can use because a certain proportion of people can't experience it properly, work towards translating that into something they can experience.

Well sure, but the occasional well-placed emoji can art up a comment too. The problem isn't the emojis, it's people using them poorly.

See? Emojis can be cool.

Bunch of fucking narcissistics, disgracing the memory of the one member of their family who was actually worth a shit, just to get attention for their worthless asses.

It's still a pretty young technology, and it took a few years to understand the impacts of it. We've had them long enough now to be able to see how detrimental they have been to the first generation using them.

That seems like a limitation of the screen reader than anything else. It needs to either translate those more succinctly or just ignore them.
