Where are you seeing the part about the “Karen” and the police tasering him?

I’m at AutoZone and I feel like I’m violating an unspoken rule by not backing my vehicle into the parking stall.

I think it’s the “traditional” advertisers that did a better job - the newer companies were pretty bad.

Or, hear me out… Pelosi’s time expired years ago and she should’ve been shown the door. Never forgave her for participating in the blocking of a majority disability bill because of her nursing jail funders.

I’ve been venting about this. I’m convinced either there was a collective decision to not caption or this anti-DEIA atmosphere that Trump cultivated.

I wouldn’t know. So many commercials were uncaptioned - practically every non-NBC ad - that I turned off the game.

I’ve been venting about the lack of captioning. As a deaf viewer, I refuse to watch something that excludes me.

What, was there a meeting held to decide to not caption any of the Super Bowl commercials? At this point, we haven’t really seen any with captioning, and we turned off the game. Why give us viewership to a TV event that doesn’t care about accessibility for deaf viewers?

Why so many detectable warning sections?

Was reminded today that the United States has yet to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities since it was adopted almost 20 years ago.

Friendly advice - if you leave a message asking for a callback, MAKE SURE YOUR VOICEMAIL IS NOT FULL! I can’t count all the times I’ve been asked to call back only be unable to leave a message.

I’m so old I remember when email signatures used to have actual physical addresses in them. And TBH, many still do. But increasingly, it’s like “nobody cares.”

I saw that! So frickin’ frustrating!

I’ve never understood the opposition to non-vehicular infrastructure. From purely a selfish perspective, the fewer drivers there are in front of me, the better.

I’ve been seeing crosswalk after crosswalk, especially those with medians, in multiple communities not cleared of snow. Municipalities need to do better. Those create hazards for people with mobility disabilities.

When it doesn’t occur to you that, in frigid 16 degree temp, you need to specify “hot” when ordering coffee.

$50,000 isn’t particularly affluent especially for a household of 4, especially as inflation increases. So you’re upset I didn’t find a study refuting the specific idea you pulled out of your crack?

The Pitfalls of Flat Income Taxes Flat taxes have some surface appeal but come with significant disadvantages. Critically, a flat tax guarantees that wealthy families’ total state and local tax bill will be a lower share of their inco...

Here’s one that literally took me 3 seconds now that I’m sitting down.

It’s Black Friday & I’m out with family. Do your own research on a topic that has been well-publicized.

Flat taxes usually are regressive.

My cat looks similar, except with white marks on his chest. He leaves the (fake) tree alone so hopefully that’s a good sign for you.

And what of other government employees that did the same? She’s rewarding them and buying loyalty. ICE is becoming Trump’s secret police. Watch for expansion of their powers.

My mother lives in a suburban-style home with large house and plentiful driveway. Some neighbors park blocking the sidewalk even with the empty driveway, just so someone can scoot around into the garage on that side.

Racks of various kinds of cakes.

I’m suddenly remembering that being an adult means I can buy a cake just for the hell of it.
