the difference between such cards and not is that they aren't to allow you in the store at all and most people don't need one, so it's not like a members only situation
i know this is 1/2 but it reminds me how i've expressed frustration before about how people talk about companies having to get rid of accessibility features (namely Disney but they just get a lot of press - it's an issue with so many companies) because too many folks are taking advantage of them.
but the reason folks take advantage of them is because they've chosen to make the normal system brutal and horrible to the average person. it's their system they designed.
the average person should not stand in line in hot weather for hours to get on a ride. it's not just miserable - it's bad for a relatively able person's health.
the reason people typically will "fake" a disability for accommodations is because really, everyone should have them
the curb cut effect has it backwards so often
it's simply showing how we design things poorly for everyone and then get angry when people want access
when i tore a muscle in my shoulder and had to see a orthopedic specialist who specifically only worked with shoulder injuries all the paperwork was to be filled out by hand
when the vast majority of his patients were people who could not use one arm
@talksina i have significant usable peripheral vision depending on how badly i'm getting day blindness but forms are always incredibly difficult for me
as my vision loss progressed i was astounded by the reality that neither my optometrist or vision therapist had large print or digital forms
the people who monitor my vision loss don't have accessible paperwork

Unknown parent • • •i have accessibility cookies for the major providers so i don't encounter most captcha
but that system is also disgusting
i shouldn't have to ask for a cookie i have to keep on my system that marks me as disabled

in reply to deilann v -0.2.1. • • •also captcha like that have not been very useful for a long time
which is why they're getting worse and worse, which makes it harder and harder for disabled folks to solve them - never mind everyone else
and those who want to bot just route the captcha to humans they pay pennies if anything at all

that's how badly we're sticking to these systems
