¹(this assumption is flawed even in regards to humans, but that doesn't mean it's not common. I can think of countless examples of ESL folks assumed to be stupid just because they couldn't speak English well, and I'd wager the same happens in other languages as well)
The greatest tragedy of LLMs is that they were given language without *intelligence*
When talking to humans, language may¹ indicate comprehension, but that assumption fails us with LLMs; they don't KNOW anything, they're just trained to do a good job simulating it via uncomprehending regurgitation
Childish absolutism doesn't really serve anyone very well. There's nuance to almost every situation.
This is just fucking appalling on every level. Like, what a violation.
Following up @rude1.blacksky.team's post with @ngerakines.me point: $5 isn't a lot. 3000 people isn't a lot.

Did you know each emoji has a coded description that gets read aloud by screen readers? This demo by Alexa Heinrich shows what happens when a screen reader encounters a post that uses an emoji to function as a bullet point.

This sounds like a request for someone skilled with magic sewing machine Proficiency
I'm pretty sure that I've seen someone with a sports bra that had a sort of armpit zipper pocket
The main character in Arcane Ascension series finds a magic box that does this, and it's actually a not-insignificant plot-driving object 😆
TLDR: Everyone's "pockets" used to be belt pouches (basically bumbags), which gradually diverged into purses for those who wore dresses or integrated pockets for those who wore pants.
It's fascinating how we say someone "has a temper" because they often "lose their temper"
Do those who do not *lose* a thing not, by definition, *have* that thing?
Pokémon Pokopia is like everything I liked about AC the one time I played, but better for me 😅
Oh this NewAnimalCrossing™️ is excellent
😭😭😭
(are you getting enough rest and fluids? 👀 I'm relying on you to take care of my friend!)
That's a wild swing 😩
Many live with the limitations of not understanding numbers and the impact that has on everyday life. Laura Parker's Accessible Numbers project offers guidance on how to design services and write content for people who need help with numbers.

I'd still prefer to say "dry erase board" and "chalkboard" but describing boards by the visible color they are feels… less directly problematic than the "-list" terms where the color in the term serves the direct purpose of conveying "allowed" or "denied".
Sometimes I forget that there are folks who still use the terms "whitelist" and "blacklist"
Goal adjusted again.
Thank you for all the help so far. Every little bit goes a long way. ❤️

If you have a hashtag with multiple words, write the hashtag in #PascalCase or #camelCase to help users of screen readers. That helps the screen reader to read out the words out individually, rather than trying to read them in one long word.
Oh wow, this is not a game I would have expected to exist!
Help Jessie reach her goal!
"Management" as a game category is very different from "management" as a life activity 😅
