  • That's a good reason to wear them along with stiff fabric that awkwardly wrinkles outward in the crotch area: fun to flick that in plain sight to enhance the discomfort of onlookers.

  • This is literally human trafficking.

    Provide a definition from a credible reference.

    Wikipedia:

    the act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring, or receiving individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation.

    Oxford Languages:

    the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.

    Both these definitions specify exploitation in some fashion.

    Go fuck yourself for acting like this is in any way normal.

    Get a hold of yourself? Outrage over words we can look up is stupid. 🤡

  • Does Zoroastrianism not figure into this somewhere? It's generally considered an influence on Judaism that is older than Judaism & ancient Greek tradition. They also have an idea of divine justice in the afterlife with concepts roughly corresponding to heaven, purgatory, hell.

    Neither Zoroastrianism nor Judaism consider "hell" a place of eternal torment, more a place where spirits confront their actions to cleanse & purify themselves before reuniting with the divine.

  • Unless they state the risk & danger and support those claims with something concrete & rational (instead of leaving it to ungrounded speculation), it seems like peanuts. I like to set parameters around my anxiety & keep it real.

    For decades, we had phonebooks publish names, addresses, phone numbers, and the sky didn't fall.

  • 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

      markdown
        
    -first
    
    -second
    
    -third
    
    
      

    looks obviously bad whereas

      markdown
        
    - 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.
