By the time I started driving, we already had gps, but I do remember my dad pulling those folder or foldable maps when driving somewhere for the first time. His advice on how to read these things was “Look for the river crossings. It usually doesn’t matter much which road you take, you will always end up at the same crossings.”
And this is why, when planning a road trip in the pre-waze days, I would always check the river crossings first and when is a low traffic time to cross them, because you don’t want to be stuck for 2 hours because an ungodly amount of drivers need to be squeezed through a narrow tunnel.
But nowadays it’s hardly relevant anymore, only to make sure you don’t take too long of a lunch/dinner break or get stuck in said situation.
I have nerve damage in my hands. I use a lot of voice dict ation and the default has curse word censored. I don’t care enough to change it.
Frankly it’s shocking to me that so many people on Lemmy first off don’t know this and second off care so very much that they have to bring it up whenever it happens.
But either way thank you for your copious amounts of ableism on this fine day. I needed that jolt to wake me up.
I think “being ableist” implies a sort of intention or motivation. On the internet, where the only thing I can see is a username, I think it’s pretty much impossible to assume I was being ableist from one comment.
That being said, if I were to say something ableist knowing what I know now, then yeah, feel free to scream and call me an asshole.
I only said what I said because lemmy is inundated with memes that have had all the “bad words” censored.
Next time, before I post, I’ll be sure to gather up all the things I don’t know before I press send.
Your intentions were clear when you said this stupid shit. It’s about as useful as the other guy who was like why don’t you just use a better transcriber or not to be disabled or some s***.
You heard somebody was suffering and you decided well, time to be a bigger a******…
That being said, if I were to say something ableist knowing what I know now, then yeah, feel free to scream and call me an asshole.
I’m not yelling. And clearly you are actually an a******. See your previous post for evidence.
I only said what I said because lemmy is inundated with memes that have had all the “bad words” censored.
I don’t believe you. Because it isn’t the memes, people are constantly berating anybody who has asterixes in their words because we’re f****** afraid. Seriously every few f****** threads there is somebody complaining about asterixes in people’s curse words. The real, honest question is: did it hurt you in any way, or were you just being morally superior about your ability to use curse words with your fine manual dexterity.
Before I was calling you out on being an a****** I was pointing out that you’re ignorant. Voice transcription by default usually has censorship. I just live with it because I really don’t give a s***. When you complained about all the things you don’t know, this is an actual reasonable one because of f*** ton of able people use voice transcription because it’s convenient.
Please don’t come in twice clearly as the worst person, and then act in contrite like you’re the better person. It doesn’t work because that’s clearly not you.
I don’t always like being me, but I’ll be damned if I ever become you.
three@lemmy.zip - I think they called you an abalone, but I’m not 100% sure.
I just don’t understand how it’s ableism if you purposely chose not to disable the censorship in your voice-to-text. You said it yourself- “I don’t care enough to change it”. That’s not ableism.
You seem to be deeply offended that you saw some asterixes on the internet.
I mean, for real, is your life so hopeless and empty that mocking the disabled is all you have in it?
I mean that’s cool and all, you got to do you. But it seems kind of sad when you could be getting an education or contributing positively on the internet or something.
I used to use paper maps all the time, but I’ve never seen this thing before. Pretty cool.

That looks a lot nicer than the big foldable pieces of s*** that we all had.
You are literally posting in a community with the word shit in the name.
SHIT
Now your turn.

I mean, it’s pretty easy. Next time don’t be an ableist cunt.
You see some stars and freak the fuck out? Do you happen to be a middle schooler.

BTW, your first sentence is part of the problem.
How do you think this one works:
“I thought racism had to be intentional. I just said some things, man!”
Don’t turn shit back on the other person.

I move away from the mic to breathe in

Sounds like you should get a better app to transcribe your words instead of whining about people being ableist
No I’m pointing out ableists are being ableist

Idk.
All I see is ****
Maybe I should see if it also censors my password?

Did it work?
looks down
It sure did.
Shit! :33)
The most common ones were books that you’d flip east/west through, or skip to the indicated page for north/south, right?
You talking about a MAPSCO?
Man I’m sure it was something like that. Honestly at this point I mostly remember what MapQuest looked like if we wanted to go old school.
