What do you mean by not being able to do that?

The issue isn't with everyone having problems, or which ones are more or less severe than others, though. It's about those who have certain proiblems getting certain accomidations.

Can we all (especially those calling those who need accommodations spoiled, coddled, or the like) stop being retarded for ten fucking seconds?

Jesus Christ!

Fakes are used as an excuse for others to mess it up, and do so knowing they never get criticized (despite directly causing the mess ups) because somehow we've been programmed to ignore the actual causes and think way too simplistically.

For instance, fakes didn't cause schools to overcorrect so badly as to reject valid claims, the schools did period.

Another moral panic that IMO is based on an extremely gross oversimplification. I know people who can walk short distances, or have other conditions making mobility difficult... and people where that manifests itself as a problem at large airports, but not at really small ones - so in that case for instance it would make sense to need a wheelchair to get through the larger one and not the smaller one.

Are there people legitimately abusing this? Absolutely. The answer, however, is not to stigmatize people needing things like this conditionally - that makes the person framing it that way, IMO, the asshole.

But that's the thing - in terms of what happens to YOU legally, that definition (of what it is or isn't legally) matters more, not to mention that we'd have to agree upon a definition of harassing behavior that doesn't cover arguably legitimate cases.

Can we please with the interjection of opinion when talking about facts in this manner? YOUR OPINION is not fact, MY opinion isn't fact. You not seeing cases that may exist for something similar =/= "non e exist," nor does my seeing use cases mean there aren't bad use cases either.

How so re: the privacy complaint? Not saying it's impossible, but the guy would need to be actually doing shit like up shirting or the like I'd imagine.

And I did some Googling, it seems as if I am not completely balmy and there is a so called "metered paywall" where you can read X articles for free and periodically resets.

Maybe I just look at a lot of single page articles then ...

But if the text is already loaded and just hidden after the fact - which absolutely is the case at least some% of the time, you don't, in any reasonable sense of the term, bypass anything, the information is already there. Not to mention the free articles w/o paywall one can and sometimes will get to access.

Yeah, cuts it off ... after all the text is already loaded. Been able to copy and paste article text to read at my leisure many times.

This might be a bit of a tangent, but I wonder how much of their stuff is truly paywalled - given that you do seem to get some % of articles that are free outright, it seems you also can see some% that are free before a paywall pops up, and other articles where you can either pause the page load, or do ctrl+a and ctrl+c to select the article before the paywall goes up (and then paste into a text editor to view at your leisure).

Not to mention the question of how many articles from the NY Times are claimed to be paywalled that are of older content - as in, stuff that would be public domain being pre-1929 (and available elsewhere as well).

For me, it just seems like a lot that hinges on what actually is truly paywalled, if soft paywalls count (like the one I mentioned where you can copy the text before a paywall pops up), and the like.

How much of that growth was organic to begin with? How much of it was from being forced to upgrade (in some cases over a month ahead of the EoL date like in my case)?

Not needing it or not seeing uses =/= "useless," that's not how something being useless or not works. ~_~

Underpriced according to who?

The market has a certain load it can bear in terms of how high it goes, but how is that the same thing as "this thing is underpriced?." Not to mention that it requires ignoring the role of scalper bots that can buy up supply faster than organic humans - even those intending on scalping (but doing so w/o bots) - can buy (especially if you factor in website crashes from the influx of bots).
