When adding alt text, do you try to convey the point of the image or describe what the image is showing?

If it weren’t for paper napkins we wouldn’t have so many dumb ideas going around

@jeremiah This is the way!I remember first learning about the alt-text secondary punchline in XKCD not all that long after learning what the alt tag in HTML was and thinking it was a brilliant use

Drove past a pair of police cars parked facing traffic and an obnoxious distance from the curb. I get that some rules are questionable (other equal-civilised places allow parking facing traffic) and that police are, arguably, above the law and unaccountable, but you'd think they could at least park against the curb and set a good example.

Starting a list of weird rules that seem counterintuitive because after I learned that there's places in which it's illegal to record a conversation you are having without informing the other parties, now I'm learning that there's places where it's illegal to photograph public art. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama

@jezza I like that logic! The funniest thing for me reading about this is that public art is un-photographable assuming the copyright hasn't expired in Greece (where no one takes pictures of anything less than 2000 years old) and also in lots of African and impoverished nations, where there's maybe one statue in the whole country.

@jezza Bringing the idea of fanfic in is perfect. We need to copy and make derivative artwork to some extent to be creative!

We need a formalised taxonomical nomenclature to properly discuss cuisine

After 26 years of being consciously aware of the Olympics and being reasonably indifferent to the concept of the whole (though interested in several parts within) I have developed three opinions.1. Any sport that has an extant “best of the world” competition should not be in the Olympics.2. The Olympics started as a competition of pure athleticism. Events that require the opinions of judges should not be included.3. We shouldn't be tallying medals by nations. Nations should participate as the pool from which teams can be made and their local Olympic committees deciding which athletes can partake, but that's it. It shouldn't be a competition between nations.

@jezza I like your point about it resolving in rankings… I guess that makes sense
