"Cripples" is the one that got me. But the deaf community doesn't see it as a disability and I don't think they would have any problem getting the joke. It's mostly visual anyway.

Sonic Wizard

@JonEricson So it's not optimized for screen readers?

@Catija It can be edited?

Jon Ericson

If I thought it were a) a serious question or b) funny, I would have tried an edit instead.

Journeyman Geek

@SonicWizard It's an afd answer. I don't particularly care about the deletion and I didn't delete it.

Sonic Wizard

@JourneymanGeek Ah, so I can't see others' answers if I answered a deleted question.

cv-pls too broad: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/308628/what-is-with-the-duck

Seems more like a dupe of something.

Sonic Wizard

@Catija It's asking three different questions. I'd argue for a "too broad" closure.

@JonEricson Can you please make duck-overflow a synonym of quack-overflow? I've edited all the questions but people keep using the tag as the system hasn't burninated it yet.

@SonicWizard Done. Also, thanks for the suggested addition to my filter.

the word cripple is cruel?

user202362

that's like saying the term female is discriminatory

Catija

Maybe it's regional, but the term "cripple" is offensive in the US.

List of disability-related terms with negative connotations

The following is a list of terms used to describe disabilities or people with disabilities that may be considered negative and/or offensive by people with or without disabilities. There is a great deal of disagreement as to what should be considered offensive. Views vary with geography and culture, over time, and among individuals. Many terms that some people view as offensive are not viewed as offensive by others, and even where some people are offended by certain terms, others may be offended by the replacement of such terms with what they consider to be euphemisms (e.g., "differently abled"...

Note, "deaf-mute" is also on that list.

user202362

blind is on the list too

user202362

so is fit

user202362

how about we go back to no language period

Looks like there's a market for duck enlargement

user202362

I was referring to the bigger duck question

Journeyman Geek

I'd be a bit worried if your duck was big and purple.

user202362

I am sure you can modify the script to change the colour

Is there a way to turn the duck to Ducky Momo?

A little Easter egg on the U.S. TSA website: tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/…

Lol

@SonicWizard TSA?

Sonic Wizard

@PrincessLuna The government agency that handles airport security screening in the U.S.

@PrincessLuna Oops, didn't notice the link

@PrincessLuna WTO?

(this one is actually real...)

@JourneymanGeek lol

on the topic of ducks... :>

Sonic Wizard

@JourneymanGeek Do you really prefer not to end your sentences with a period?

Princess Luna

Sonic Wizard

@JourneymanGeek To aid me in knowing which changes you don't like, please tell me which one or more of the five minor changes I made resulted in your rollback.

Journeyman Geek

8:57 AM

"very minor changes"

there we are

I'd also add its frustrating for all involved when we have to explain everything that doesn't go your way.

Sonic Wizard

@JourneymanGeek Without explaining why you don't like certain changes, I won't have enough info to decide whether or not to make a certain change in the future. For instance, you told me you didn't like edits that changed the flow of your posts, so I stopped making such edits to your posts.

Journeyman Geek

> I'd also add its frustrating for all involved when we have to explain everything that doesn't go your way.

I don't like having to do that either!

Sonic Wizard

Just tell me you don't like me changing "em" to "them" and I'll stop doing that.

Journeyman Geek

> I'd also add its frustrating for all involved when we have to explain everything that doesn't go your way.

If I spend more time explaining myself that posting, its not fun

Sonic Wizard

Time spent briefly explaining it: 1 minute. Time spent refusing to explain, me prodding you for an explanation(, and then optionally eventually providing it): 15-infinity minutes

Journeyman Geek

9:06 AM

But you don't need to prod

You can shrug and move on.

And its basically something that happens to muliple people multiple times a day.

Sonic Wizard

I could move on, and then make further edits to your posts that you then roll back. The more you explain to me, the less likely I am to make an edit in the first place that you then have to roll back.

Shadow Wizard

@PrincessLuna rofl!

Sonic Wizard

What do you want: me making edits that you then have to roll back, or me not making edits that would fire off your rollback trigger in the first place?

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek that's the one thing you keep failing to see/remember.... @Sonic just can't do that. :)

Princess Luna

Journeyman Geek

9:08 AM

@ShadowWizard maybe repetition might work

Shadow Wizard

@JourneymanGeek well, we try. :)

Sonic Wizard

I don't "shrug and move on" from Eggman's ever-present plans to conquer the world.

Journeyman Geek

Sure you can

Shadow Wizard

Yes We Can?

Sonic Wizard

@ShadowWizard Not even the real Sonic the Hedgehog

Shadow Wizard

9:10 AM

quack

Journeyman Geek

@SonicWizard see, that's the kind of thing polite society does

we realise people see things differently without needing to be told how it is with a full interpretative song and dance.

"This didn't go my way" - "Oh well!" works

"WHHHHYYYY?"

annoys people

and eventually there's concequences - people might, say block you.

or just ignore you

Sonic Wizard

@JourneymanGeek Gee, I wonder how people perceive it that way, rather than a polite "why"

Journeyman Geek

@SonicWizard cause there's a lot of them

Sonic Wizard

@JourneymanGeek I said "brief".

@JourneymanGeek A lot of what?

Journeyman Geek

I propose you restrict yourself to one explaination of why something didn't go your way a day.

Sonic Wizard

9:15 AM

@JourneymanGeek I'm not just making an emotional rant when I ask why. I just want to know for the future. It's not like something "didn't go my way", I just want to know in order to avoid such a problem in the future.
