No, but it lacks style, so we prefer not to.

Edit; Apparently Lazlo did it once, but he says it was consentual.


Can you name the sloppy bank? Might help some of us out if we are keeping money there.


They’ve even got a business registered at my apartment.

I would add “Attention: Fraud Department” to the writing on the envelope, in this case. It feels like someone may be running some kind of scam, and that might get the letter into the hands of someone who can do something about it.


Hold up…I mean, yeah. Okay.


Good point. We’re a bunch of badasses.


Thank you. My big question from this list was “WTF is a Shenmue?”


It’s funny that Ouya’s brand recognition is so infamous that no additional explanation is needed.


Another tip I haven’t seen yet:

  • It varies by client, but Markdown generally works, here.

  • Spoiler tags seem to still be a separate extension from regular Markdown.

  • Many of us try to be more careful to include ALT Text with images, as it supports both blind users, and anyone whose server is just being slow to load images:

Example of Image with Alt text in Markdown:

![alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Title")

Here’s one I haven’t seen mentioned yet: many of us explicitly state our intended tone after our comments, to avoid miscommunication. Particularly in busy threads.

We have some great accessibility outreach communicators here, some of whom have shared how much it helps them or people they know.

Some examples:

  • (Sarcasm)
  • (Genuine)
  • (Joke)

Sometimes these are abbreviated, but we often even avoid abbreviation - for general clarity, but probably mainly because we’re always gaining new users who might not recognize the abbreviation.


This is a great point.

There’s also very convenient block mechanisms for rude folks, and a “block and move on” culture for those who don’t keep their communication civil.


I don’t believe in anything supernatural, but I’m pretty sure wiper blade attachment designs were somehow still born in the deepest fires of hell.
