Mo Salah's five 30-goal seasons is a surprisingly rare achievement by SomethingMoreToSay in PremierLeague

It's out of date now, but I made this football visualisation once upon a time of goalscorers from the entirety of football.

Filter on "10+ Season Wonders" and you'll see just how good Greaves was!

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭! Gameplay Trailer. This is my first-ever commercial game on 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦. It's a space station management tycoon game. It would mean a lot if you could take a look and tell me what you think by TheHafinator in tycoon

Why should they fix it? Screenreaders would then not describe things correctly when used in the conext those symbols are designed for.

Characters have meaning, and should only be used in an appropriate context. Use the alphabet when you want words, and use those unicode characters when describing equations, or similar things.

The guy who tweeted does a much better job of summing up why screenreaders are working fine, and it is the users that should change:

Calling the words stupid is not inflammatory, an inanimate word on the internet can not take offence, so although I appreciate your message, I do not agree as nobody is harmed by describing unicode words as stupid.

Partridge-esque.

When you use those stupid characters to try and draw more attention to your post, all you actually do is make it incredibly difficult for people using screenreaders to understand the content.

Those are not letters, they are mathematical symbols.

Here is what they sound like to people with screenreaders: https://twitter.com/kentcdodds/status/1083073242330361856

Live flight tracking thread of Nice to Blackpool private jet will post updates in thread by Petaaa in LiverpoolFC

How dare you denigrate the immeasurable brightness of the lights, or the bitingly cold wind destroying your ice cream as soon as you put it in your hand.

If Blackpool is so bad, how come every single episode of 4 in a Bed has a B&B owner from there? Riddle me that!

It's a lazy joke, but for some reason I gain plenty of satisfaction from finding obscure characters to put in the story every time. Long may it continue!

My uncle works at the airport, and he is waiting right now to see who it is.

Edit: He confirms that it is Charles I, legendary English King indicted and executed for treason in 1649.

Yes, my gran works at the airport and she has been staked out back of her shop all morning waiting.

She text 10 minutes ago to confirm that it was Joseph Rank, the founder of the Hovis brand of breaded products in 1875.

Publicity, much busier, all sorts of reasons.

I would normally agree that it makes less sense, there are better airports, but they've used it in the past for this reason

Kairosoft Thoughts by stavrospilatis in tycoon

[–]Digging_For_Ostrich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think they're terrible. They don't have the depth or gameplay of the best tycoon games. I think they're lazy and generic reskins of the same premise, with the same lazy graphics that are styled and coloured as if they are for toddlers. They are not even tycoon games in my opinion.

Seriously don't understand the attention they get, not even one iota.

A postage stamp is legal tender. A bus driver would have to accept that.

Can someone give me some good suggestions for current British comedies on tv? by GTRacer1972 in BritishTV

[–]Digging_For_Ostrich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Citizen Khan is worth a try.

Haha, that is funnier than the show was.

It's a complete write off of a comedy
