The problem is that smokers tend to litter excessively by throwing their butts into the street.

Meh, I went to college at the Naval Academy and spent a lot of time in Tyson’s Corner, so sometimes I forget where it belongs. My mind attributes it to Maryland, Virginia and DC depending on how it feels at the time, regardless of reality.

I can’t wait for the people who think the problem is that the victim was out playing a video game with her boyfriend late at night, and not the firearm that killed her from range for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I drove from Florida to Maryland to buy my last car. The dealers in Jacksonville refused to give me a quote on the car I wanted to buy. When I looked online I realized why: they had the car marked up nearly $7000 over MSRP at every dealership in town because there were so few models in the area (a Prius Prime!).

They have the entire series of classic Ultima games. You could spend the next two years playing through them all. Most of them hold up very well, even after all these years.

I understand what you are saying, but a great many people truly enjoy spending time creating an interesting character at the start of a game that could take 100 hours to play through.

Planescape: Torment is my favorite video game of all time. I played it when it originally released two decades ago and still remember so much of it clearly. It had a great impact on how I DM my tabletop D&D games, and I still draw inspiration for characters and situations to this day.

Oh goodness, get a grip. It’s been less than 24 hours without a video game. Go outside with your children.

I interpreted her statement as “I spoke to some people who are of the race represented by the character and heard their concerns. I addressed those concerns and moved forward with intent.”

I’d like to pitch in to say that I, too, am horribly confused by this entire issue and could use an explanation.

She’s making prosthetics -- there’s literally zero reason to not represent the character as accurately as possible. It’s basically impossible to tell the race or the gender of the person wearing them. She has BECOME the character with that costume, and in no way is she demeaning a race or gender (remember: she

...As a black guy, I’d like to say clearly that “This isn’t blackface”.

Engineer a website or mobile app that is accessible to blind people in a way that calling the TTS / TTY-enabled phone ordering service isn’t already.

Other companies ARE getting sued over this. There is an entire trend among litigation troll law firms that hire a disabled person just so they have standing to bring litigation against anything with a public-facing website.

Hey yeah, your anecdote is definitely worth all of the American business sector having to suddenly shift a major business practice. How much was that coupon worth? Buy a pizza get a million dollars?

Wow. That’s quite the rant.

But they CAN sell to the blind, specifically by proving a phone service that works with TTS and TTY systems.

Have you ACTUALLY LOOKED at the WCAG? There is an overwhelming amount of vague or poorly-defined standards with no metrics whatsoever.

Just this easy, right?

You haven’t heard of anyone? I guess you don’t deal with ADA Compliance litigation.
