Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters

I totally misunderstood your point. You disagreed with the guy who said only diagnosed disabilities should be treated with respect so I thought you agreed with me when I said unrelated skills shouldn’t be discriminate against. Apparently the discrimination never was an issue for you. I am once again disappointed in humanity.

I’m not really sure what you’re talking about, but I think you might be missing context. When I said he’s using text-to-speech I don’t mean he’s blind, I mean he can’t read. Cuz in a different thread he corrected when I typed “U” and replied “*you”. And he keeps saying “read again” that’s why I said that? Is this what you meant?

  Totally pedantic and annoying

  Totally annoying. I also told him to rephrase

  I reached common ground with him that diagnosed dyslexic people should get special treatment and I extended it to other unrelated skills like reading analog clocks (in biology exams). You, on the other hand, make fun of dyslexia. What context did I miss? Is ablism ok when the butt of the joke is an asshole? If the conversion was about whether dyslexic people or non native speakers should get extra time or something, would you be team “nah, they are just stupid”?

    You’re actually right, that wasn’t nice.
    
    I actually didn’t know there was such a condition before this. Ig I went overboard with the “even 6year Olds can read”. I just lost patience with that ahole and decided to drop Down to his level. I thought I will criticize him for something he can’t seem to do since he criticizes others personal choices.

    Now that you say it, that actually sounds very much like something an asshole would say. I crossed a boundary that I wouldn’t have liked to cross in my right mind. My bad, I’m sorry

    People admitting they were wrong is my favorite moment on the internet! We are all here to learn and it means something to admit that
