@NewWestSarah No. There's nothing to change my mind about?
A kid predictably did an impulsive thing they shouldn't have done while their guardian wasn't supervising them well enough to stop it.
When confronted, the guardian got defensive and wasted the chance to teach the kid.
The end.
@OysterOwl@loseely@KimberlyNFoster@AbortionChat Basic dog in public etiquette is to check with the owner first. And you must not approach service dogs to play or pet. Kids need to learn these.
But even if I, an adult human, am sufficiently startled, I can't guarantee I will never under any circumstances reflexively strike.
@TwilightAtavism Dog in public etiquette is to check with the owner before approaching the dog. This is like teaching look before you cross the street.

@TwilightAtavism The dog is a service animal. That means it's also an essential medical device for the owner. Those are some of the best trained and least dangerous dogs on earth.
You're not supposed to approach other people's service dogs to play. They are at work.

So? It's still a living being. If I, an adult human, am startled, I can't guarantee I will never reflexively strike.
@NewWestSarah @kelexyn@AbortionChat @AngelOfTheOzark When I was a child, my mom sometimes "handcuffed" me to her with a long string.
It was not "sad." It was safer than not having it. It wasn't for when we went out to play in the park, obviously.
I have a warm memory of it. My mom loved and worried about me that much.
Always romanticise your life. Your errands are “side quests”; answering emails is “attending to your correspondence”; going for walks is “taking some exercise to avoid perishing of consumption on a wrought-iron bed” like a Victorian heroine.
@DanielVaughn@Keithamus There's implicitly imperative and also probably implicitly procedural behavior behind everything declarative. Something eventually has to implement how to make it happen.
@jasonmcneill I like a comment. The UI already gives sufficient feedback by changing the color and filling in the shape of the icon and incrementing the displayed like count. It could show the text next to that, if it was needed—but it's not, it's superfluous and annoying.
I've tried before and failed, but nevertheless I will try again to convince an org not to put toasts/snackbars in their design system—because they are bad.
@jasonmcneill Good for some use cases. There isn't one replacement. Alert/status in place, scrolled into view, use other visual cues... It's primarily an accessibility issue, but even aside from that they're overused. One of my favorite examples is an app I use that shows a toast every time
@ShimminyKricket For sure. But this made me feel undeserving anyway. No—that's still not quite it, but I can't find the right words.
Anyway, I usually call my career success "luck." People get riled up about that sometimes. Ostensibly on my behalf, however I think it's really for themselves.
