Could not agree with this more

sure, just not responsive to the issue being discussed :)

My point is that most workplaces just don‘t have a work stream that requires a person to do solo work on an extremely tight timeline without also having/ offering assistance, support, and the potential for flexibility or assistance.

If you actually read my response, I wasn’ arguing that ADA requires extra time. That would be irrelevant because my argument is that test-taker *without* ada disabilities should get the extra time anyway.

Ah yes, Forbes. H

Extra time might reduce careless mistakes by letting a slower test taker do a final read through double-check, or allow a slower thinker to answer all the questions to the best of their ability instead of running out of time.

And most people won’t do that because if you don’t know the answer, extra time doesn’t help you get it right and thus isn’t an advantage.

Processing information correctly

This is absolutely not true except in very specific circumstances. deadlines are common but so are requests for extra time, extra help, collaboration, and additional resources.
December 2, 2025 at 7:20 PM
Just give everyone the extra time. What is the justification for timing anyway?

If the accommodation is "extra time on tests" the best solution IMO is to just give the extra time to everyone. There is no real reason when testing for intelligence, educational achievement, and aptness to succeed in an academic setting to sort for people who are able to work faster than others.

This is 85% of the reason I left private practice. Not just opposing counsel conducting themselves like this (in all interactions, not just deps) but partners at my own firm expecting me to.

I do most of my garment purchasing in thrift stores and I HATE this. I can tell a SHEIN item on a crowded rack with just a light touch. Everything about it feels plastic-y and cheap.

A wonderful documentary about fonts is the episode of "Abstract" on Netflix featuring Jonathan Hoefler. The whole series is wonderful, especially to anyone interested in art, style, design, and workmanship, and that is no exception!

Haha I feel the same way but it’s also always so cold in there. The robe should be fleece so that - even as a one-armed hug — it is a warm and comforting.

This is not a surprise to anyone who was closely following this case. It *ought* to be, however, a moment to reflect upon the responsibility (or not) of media outlets that, deliberately or not, led folks to believe that a grant was a serious possibility (which it never was).
