it’s spelled img - ur

no, it’s spelled imgur. I know what img stands for which is why I said it would be one thing to call it imgr. the u doesn’t make sense and it hardens the g. it’s funny that you talk about how it’s customary that img stands for image but you act like ‘ur’ is also a thing by itself.

well it is, just not in that way. if your img-ur breakup made any sense for pronouncing img as if it’s independent then why not consider what ur stands for? it’s a shortening of your or you’re. so why not pronounce it image your? because it’s bullshit and the spelling is ridiculous.

good. always remember to be white in public.

as it’s spelled: im gur.

It’s one thing to name it imgr, but putting a fucking u after the g makes it a hard g in literally every instance. the letter u is the reason the g is pronounced as a hard g in words that otherwise wouldn’t need a u: fragile / guile, digest / guest, etc.

no one fucks him. he just shares his sperm and people want it because they’re eager to get a share of his money and/or they’re also white supremacists who believe they should populate the earth more with their inbred genes.

I specifically said searchable referring to images in general, not memes. I don’t think people search memes that often.

i also didn’t specify verbosity. Blind people are people, idk why we’re talking like they’re a different species. Whether or not you should alt text an image is directly related to whether or not you consider that image part of the content.

a meme is the content, when someone is looking at a post that’s what they’re looking at and reading. if someone wouldn’t want to read it they can stop reading as soon as they see that it’s a meme. if they want to read it they can keep going.

so no, I don’t think meme transcriptions should be as verbose. so it’s just “animal girl is repulsed by flatpak”. you’re explaining it to people who don’t see as well, not people who were born yesterday.

enough

that’s because grimes is also dumb as a rock. so is anyone who willingly marries an unfuckable troglodyte

this should’ve been made by someone who has seen a diagram before

I laughed out loud when I first learned that imgur is supposed to be pronounced as "imager’… well you fuckin chose the wrong combination of letters for that didn’t ya

oh what an inconvenience… I wish I was blind so I didn’t have to spend 4 more minutes transcribing 20 words on a meme.

even if you think it’s a waste of time, I didn’t even comment on the validity of the question. I just gave them the actual consideration they should have.

oh and even if you completely ignore accessibility on that front, transcribing images makes them infinitely more searchable. no one knows what a title would be, people usually don’t put anything helpful or something you can remember. but if you know some of the words you might be able to find it.

it’s like finding songs by searching lyrics from a random part of the song you heard or remember. it would be so much harder if you had to know the title.

your analogy makes no sense, and neither does your argument.

first of all the purpose of making places wheelchair accessible is to make it possible for people in wheelchairs to go there, not to give them “the experience” whatever the fuck that is supposed to be.

like, what do you even know what the wheelchair experience is like, and what makes you think what people in wheelchairs want is the experience of rock climbers, rather than the ability to experience something themselves? have you ever seen an interpreter sign a rap song? what do you think that’s for? to stimulate hearing?

second of all, memes are rarely “purely visual” gags. I don’t even know what makes you even think that. because they’re in an image format? you do realize a woman staring at her boyfriend who’s checking out another woman is in no way a visual gag, right? it’s not about how they look, it’s what they’re doing.

or, to argue on a more basic level, if it’s purely visual why does it have fucking words?

the question is do you need at least one blind person to justify alt text or do you want the alt text to make it possible for blind people or people with impaired vision to enjoy if they ever stumble upon it?

It’s not their fault. I mean fuck them, but it’s really the fault of the patent offices that allow such horseshit.

also the best thing about the minigame patent is that it lasted just long enough for loading screens to become too short to justify coding minigames for the sole purpose of filling that time.

FEAR I think is my favorite, although they have a crazy lineup. I even loved playing gruntz.

shadow of mordor was really good too, although fuck wb for preventing the one innovative part of it from being implemented in any game (other than the sequel), not repurposing it for batman which is such an obvious candidate, and also after finally giving us hope to see it again in the upcoming wonder woman game, shutting down the studio and canceling that too in the process.

seriously if the entirety of wb went down in flames I would celebrate its anniversary. fuck these vultures.

it got dialed up, sure, but it was always there. it’s not like the US started the first Gulf War after 9/11. you were already moving in that direction for decades, 9/11 just happened to be spectacular enough to be an accelerant. they got to falsely justify more atrocities faster.

pretty much everything monolith did was fantastic. rare studio with wall to wall bangers. of course wb had to put an end to it. fucking shitstains.

to think, those fucking idiots thought they could bring down the US by flying planes into the twin towers when all they needed to do was wait for Republicans to get enough power.

so I assume you also say “jit-hub”?

now you know why Cryptkeeper Pelosi picked him over AOC for this position

yeah people should stop adding the entire room being interested in random conversations to their fake stories. an entire room of people doesn’t even listen to a fucking lecture that they paid for.
