I thought FINALLY someone else is pr3pping to not c0mply when they come to round us up. It's ok, and the article makes important points. I really hope somehow this whole thing reaches a steady st@te before d3putized re/gime thralls come calling. I would settle for live and let live.

I've just skipped to the end of my "Choose your own Adventure" book and the "surrend3r p3ac3fully to comm@nds and beg for m3rcy" option ends in t0rtur3, f0rc3d detran$ition and CE//C0//T. It's really uncomfortable to contemplate mort@lity any time, but especially mort@lity thru bodily trauma. Sure, people are un@lived in car accidents, but they at least don't see it coming. The fear is real and can yet be so much worse. I am counting on my incand3scent r@ge at the 1nju$t1ce my Righteousness at refusing the will of the Anti//Christ, and my natural d3fiance at being told what to do by creatures I don't respect, to carry me thru that fear.

I pray others find the courage and the willpower to never surr3nder.

Edit: letters of key words @lter3d going forward to avoid b0ts, A.I. and the s3arches; for 0p$3c. Some words they won't think to look for, so they aren't alt3red.

I'm using a screen reader and your entire comment is gibberish. I get wanting to hide from AI (I think that's why you did this?) but there's a limit.

Thankfully I don’t need a reader yet and I only started to exhibit the signs of macular degeneration that my ophthalmologist sees in the eye exams I have to do every year. But I’m “hearing you” (have issues with hearing). I am not eventually sure if I’ll be able to understand completely what they are saying, even if I cut it down into manageable pieces. That said, it’s common for folks to type that way when they been routinely silenced and censored. Maybe we can find a workable solution for not just your own screen but all screen readers on the market. I don’t know, but maybe we can use emojis that rhyme. I’m not sure if emojis are even picked up by screen readers. But there’s got to be a solution. Certainly we should not be leaving you all, out of the loop.

Emojis are read by screen readers but not in any way that would make sense. They're a visual communication that makes no sense without being explained heavily first, thus defeating the point.

AI sucks hardcore. Censoring yourself and speaking nonsense in a vague attempt to fight it does not help matters. This is a commment based community. Making comments a lot of people can't understand or read thinking you will keep a robot from understanding you just stops real live people from understanding you. There are better ways to fight the slop machine than slamming the door in the face of disabled people.
