You don't even need to make up a reason. I'm visually impaired in a way that has substantial cortical visual impairment, issues with movement, and issues with crowding. Ads are genuinely an accessibility problem for me and people

I'm a good phone typist, but I have very, very small hands. (I also prefer 60% or 40% keyboards for the same reason.)

It depends on what work you're doing. I'm burnt out right now and working retail, which is fine to push through. Am I particularly fulfilled? No, but like you, I was raised by people with the philosophy of: "A group for peopl

The difference to me between Minesweeper + Solitaire and the Candy Crush incident is that Candy Crush was developed by a third party and, more importantly, is designed to be addictive and separate users from their money. The point of puttin

Wow. In the US the list price/general price is ~68k annually or ~17k per infusion. (Of course this isn't what people pay, but for 'cost to the system' metrics, it would be the apples to apples comparison). Nothing near m

Which drug is the leading/where'd you find the info? I believe you, now I'm just curious about the Canadian health systems' treatment philosophy + how it differs (if at all) by province.

Poor or rural. One of my school systems had less than 100 kids in the middle school over an area of several square miles. There just wasn't the population density for many/any non-sport ECs (and even those were difficult).

That's good news! I'm guessing MS is still going to be inadmissable because our meds cost ~100k/year (or more depending on the med). We're expensive.

by Mezzie 4y ago
Yup! The Government of Canada discusses medical inadmissability [0] on its site. Specifically, those of us with MS are prevented due to "Excessive demand on health or social services". Cases of this have happened: there's a W

I miss Tysabri. I was one of the lucky ones who had the 'side effect' of feeling physically great for a week afterwards. But of course Medicaid won't pay for IV infusion. So nope!

If you move, keep in mind you may need someone to marry you to let you in. I have MS and a Canadian master's degree. Wasn't eligible to stay in the country because my crippled butt costs too much. Most modern countries with univer

I have MS and was diagnosed in 2016. My first relapse was at the end of 2014, during my final semester of graduate school. My brutally honest answer is that I did three things: - I'm making some really unwise health decisions in order

It's not systemic, but I'm unironically doing this. I live in a LCOL city and I just walked away from my previous career path and am working in a lingerie shop. It's definitely not a forever thing, but the time to get my brai

I've learned to accept that my personal life and knowledge management is going to be a mess. (I'm also a librarian). I just don't want to do more organizing when I get home. I do also feel the temptation to do it 'right&

It does happen, although books rarely go for the wide appeal that films do. The most common case is literary fiction that is well received in the literary world but falls flat with the public. In that case, whether to buy the book or not wi

Who are you writing them for ? That's going to determine some of these decisions, speaking from an instructional design perspective.

It definitely happens. I'm in a legal state and we just had to chase people away from our business because they were smoking pot in front of it and the smell was permeating our storefront. I also get random whiffs of pot smell in reall

This is one reason I can't stop using Goodnotes with an Apple Pencil: I like to handwrite. It's particularly helpful when I'm taking notes in multiple languages; switching keyboards every time I want to write a word in anothe

They're terrible to their employees too. And related to that, some of the practices raise eyebrows. (For example, letting children play in your freezers and around your blood and plasma donations.)

Yeah, I'm also gay and disabled (MS). So that's fun. Being female is less of an issue now that I'm old enough that men don't harass me as often, but tech spaces between the ages of 11 and ~25 SUCKED. The thing that stuck

Going to grad school. Took on a bunch of debt, which would have been fine if I'd been able to pursue my original career choice. I got MS my last semester and am now stuck in the limbo of 'able to work so I can't get my loans

I hate when I have to do them twice. I twitch a lot. It's the worst, and I'm uncomfortable, and the tech is stressed because it screws up the scheduling and ugh it's just the worst. Or when I have to pee in the middle.

Huh this just made me realize I never keep my eyes open in the MRI machine. (I also have MS). Now I'm wondering which is more common.
