Language Barrier

The shaman fight (both the prelims in Tokyo and the finals in the USA) have people from all over the world competing and everyone seems to speak the same language. In real life, it’s for the convenience of the readers/watchers. In universe, I can only assume that the King of Spirits has granted everyone the power to magically understand/be understood by others regardless of what language they speak. Also, maybe the Oracle Bells help tournament participants walk around without their weapons being noticed by police or border control?

Has this been mentioned somewhere in the manga or bonus material?

Work hacks for massage therapists part 2 (joke)

So you've got gas during the session. Blame it on the clinic's therapy animal. You can make one up if necessary. Oh dear, Fluffy's popped off again. Fluffy can even be another client's service animal in the other room, a neighbour's pet come to visit.

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

“look at it, you know i can’t!” consider this your daily reminder that disabled people are the funniest people on earth

current gender goals

My current gender goals are somehow 1990's anime guys. I don't envy their tragic backstories, just their broad shoulders and slutty little waists.

Yikes, hadn't thought about this. We just got a new eftpos machine at work, what if we get a blind client one day?

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

Petitions - UK Government and Parliament

Petition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treate

Well fucks? Get to it!
