hello there

not to bnha on main but todoroki and uraraka absolutely go to expensive restaurants and order everything on the menu cuz todoroki likes to spend his dads money and uraraka likes to eat

dont sleep on this

In Hatsume’s eyes, though, it was one of the biggest betrayals … [what a traitor!]

when my little brother was even littler my mom came up with the 小兔子 bunny game to get him to eat

(it took forever for him to finish meals)

it him

there is this post that i Think came from reddit (here) about getting in a van with these groups of people. nami’s van is the right answer btw

a quiet moment above the clouds

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?

I feel like the increasing predominance of touchscreens is an inverse curb cut effect

Like, yes it's most bad for the disabled, but it's also wildly inconvenient for abled people, too

My car has literally got physical buttons or dials for EVERYTHING. I can do anything from turning the radio up to changing the aircon entirely by feel, in the dark, without looking

The electric car my dad leases has a huge incredibly bright touchscreen where the radio would be in a normal car. You HAVE to look at it to use it, and even though the car also has physical dials for the aircon, using them wakes up the touchscreen to display the changed settings. This is actively dangerous at night, because it's INCREDIBLY BRIGHT and fucks with your night vision. It also means you can't see the satnav for like a minute, which can be a long time in some circumstances.

My old MP3 player had a lil display I could choose playlists and tracks and stuff with but also physical buttons, so I could pause or skip or whatever without looking and without waking the screen, a godsend when I'm in bed trying to sleep or suddenly need to hear the real world. My phone doesn't have that, so in order to pause a song I have to wake the phone up, unlock the screen, and (if I'd remembered to lock the screen while on Spotify) pause the track. This both takes longer and, if I'm in bed trying to sleep - WHICH IS MY PRIMARY MUSIC TIME - stabs me in the eyeballs with bright light.

I tried to use a ticket machine a couple of weeks ago, because the touchscreen wouldn't register any inputs in an invisible area directly over the 'pay now' and 'cancel' buttons. I had to change to the only remaining 'old style' machine, which had buttons next to the screen like an ATM.

My friend has a camera with a touch sensitive display screen and keeps accidentally changing settings with her nose when she looks through the viewfinder.

Touchscreens add $$ to the price of any object, are incredibly fragile and prone to failure, often make the object harder to use, and these days tend to come bundled with a whole host of other 'conveniences' most people would rather NOT have.

It's not limited to touchscreens, either!

Internet connectivity and Automatic Sensing are a plague growing ever more everywhere.

'Smart' fridges that need a WiFi connection to keep your food cold! Washing machines stopping mid-cycle because of a forced software update! Someone hacking your household WiFi by exploiting a security gap in your smart microwave's internet connection!

Public toilet 'more hygienic' sensor taps that regularly fail to sense Black hands or small hands or glitch and run all the time so they turn off the water so 'oops! No running water to wash your hands with at all!'

That one rented car that just Stopped in the middle of the mountains because it lost signal!

Automatic doors that don't register wheelchair users or children!

Car parks that require you to download a proprietary app to pay for! Concert venues you need a smartphone to enter because they use dynamic barcodes! Local mobile apps that require an internet connection to function even though they shouldn't!

The world is filling up with inconvenient 'conveniences' nobody actually wants, but has no choice but to use

Automatic doors

users or children!

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

And touch screens can be downright dangerous.

A woman drowned in her Tesla X when she accidentally put the car into reverse. Now, you might ask yourself how you can put a car accidentally into reverse; even in automatic cars, those two settings are pretty far apart on the stick. A Tesla X doesn't have a stick at all; you switch gears via a touch screen.

We went from cars with stickshifts that made it practically impossible to put a car into reverse because they had extra safety features to prevent this exact problem to cars that only need a single touch to put yourself and others in danger.

The above article states that this wasn't even the first time that happened to her. Imagine this happening in a parking lot, and a Tesla driver accidentally puts it in reverse and hits other people.

I'm so scared of all the safety regulations that don't seem to be required for a car to be on the market. does the fact that one company can endanger us like that mean they could all do it?

It's absolutely wild to me that we've had claims that looking at the screen on your phone is as dangerously impairing as drunk driving and swiftly moved to make it illegal to use your phone while you're driving, BUT looking at a screen in order to change your ac or your radio or any other feature of the car is not impairing at all and super fine to do actually!
