seeing reddit refugees repeatedly hit their post limits and comment their thoughts on every reblog is kind of refreshing. site migration be damned these guys know how to blog

Reddit users on Tumblr:

I think one of the most profound forms of love is "I'll try that, for you. I may not like it, but I'll try it."

It's a confused middle-aged man in a pottery class, whose daughter is helping him with his clay's plasticity. It's a kid scrunching up their brow while listening to their mom's favorite music, trying to figure out why she likes it. It's a girlfriend who says "Yes, I'll go with you" and her girlfriend cheering and buying a second ticket for a con. It's a friend half dragging another friend through an aquarium, the one being dragged laughing and calling out "Wait, wait, I know we're here for the exhibit, but I haven't been here! Slow down!"

It's being willing to spend some of your time trying something new because it makes someone you love happy.

seen a lot of these with your favorites, but reblog with the CURRENT book you are reading, show you are streaming, the last movie you watched, and any game/puzzle/crafts you’re working on

brown works so hard and does so much and everyone is so mean to her. coffee chocolate hair leather tea wood eyes broth a warm coat autumn leaves caramelized onions the crust on a loaf of bread. all things good and warm and kind are brown. bitch!

inquiring minds want to know

WGA's asking people interested in all the tree law fun to also sign this petition about a god damned bitch of an unsatisfactory situation on another street on the Same FUCKING lot. NBC Universal (whose CEO is Mike Cavanagh just btw in case Ron Pearlman is listening) has started a construction project that completely removed the sidewalks from five different gates, in two cases forcing pedestrians to literally walk into oncoming traffic. In addition to being an ADA violation, it's just flat out despicably evil of them and WGA's asking for public support on this issue.

it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit

why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????

when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users

why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!

no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished

dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again

Happy sparkle off thursday to those who observe

For god’s sake he’s just a little guy. He’s just an absolute fella. He’s just a silly little goober!

It’s important to realize that platonic love can sometimes seem a lot like romantic love.

It can make your heart pound and your stomach flutter. It can make you nervous to act upon it. It can be just as full of meaning and desire as any relationship, and it can be confusing at times, but that’s alright.

If it brings joy, that’s all that matters.

This is super important. Platonic relationships can be extremely moving and very emotional. Some people would literally give anything for some of their friends and that is an amazing part of humanity.

Please for the love of god vote N i’m begging you. You cannot comprehend how much this silly little goober has changed my (and many other’s!!) brain chemistry

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?

This reminds me of the elevator in my friend’s apartment building, it has completely flat touch screen style buttons, with no ridges or edges in between.

But there’s Braille under every number, except that it’s impossible to actually touch the Braille without accidentally pressing the buttons, peak accessibility

This post makes good points, but even if not for blindness-accessibility, I would still fully-oppose touch screens. They’re just so bad! You can’t tell if you’ve pressed the button! The software to which they’re connected is always so laggy! There’s no proper feedback! You can’t tell what you’re doing! Give me big, clicky buttons! Let me feel if I’ve made the input!

My point is, everyone can use proper input devices, more-easily than they can use touch screens!

curb-cut effect

Also the elderly can’t use touch screen as well. Most people don’t know this but touch screens rely on your hands being warm and slightly moist. As you age you lose those two things. Here’s an article.
