While that’s a nice effort, the post remains inaccessible, and the only remedy is for OP to fix their post (easiest remedy: link to source). To explain, opening every inaccessible post to maybe find a detached, buried comment of unclear reliability demands inequitably more of the disabled user than everyone else, so it isn’t a remedy.
it’s still impolite to stare
It’s a free society: anyone can look at any direction consciously or unconsciously. No one has a duty to make others comfortable about it. You can both embrace the mutual discomfort of each other’s existence. Or you can call it impolite as they heedlessly carry on untroubled by the nonsense of it all.
It is impolite to stare.
It’s a free society: people can all gaze in any direction for any reason or no reason. It’s no big deal.
They can look, you can look, you can both share & savor the mutual discomfort of looking. You can call it impolite, call them the devil, and they can just heedlessly carry on untroubled by the absurdity of it all.
They’re not even necessarily looking for the reason you imagine. Their eyes may just blankly face a direction to avoid eye contact as their mind idly wanders.
Post contains inaccessible image of nearly pure text. 😞
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can’t explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
Haters like to hate. Not much sense to rustle one’s jimmies over it.

New account & another round of users falling for the gender war bait is hilarious. I can’t help but think someone’s running an experiment. 🧪
Post needs accessibility.
Isn’t this a case for hormone replacement therapy? I thought physicians recommend it nowadays.
How is this political?

Did someone refer to people as females? Where’s the angry mob ready to crucify for this heresy & whoever posts Ferengis saying females?

Why not get that treated? Leaving it untreated isn’t helping unless it’s not possible. Immunotherapy for this exists.
Not a rule, just your opinion.
He ignored her suffering and diminished it
Cool opinion.

Copypastas count as memes.

When someone brings up a problem to you, it’s a rude thing to immediately respond in ways that make it about you and your own pain.
It’s social media, so of course they’re wanking/rubbing. Don’t kink-shame. 😄
While I approve the sentiment, your post needs accessibility.
