What is a fixed element?

On this website, if you scroll down, there will always be the Elsewhere logo and the menus at the top of the screen, and there will always be the counter at the bottom right. Those are fixed elements, as they donât scroll up with the rest of the page.

Yeah. I have css to remove them here, but because each site uses its own css to define position:sticky, position:fixed, and fixed background elements, I donât have a global solution to remove them everywhere.
With my visual issues, some fixed elements, such as Twitterâs fixed backgrounds, trigger my migraines.

I love this comment (a little long). I wish I could be so eloquent:
Summary
Some history:
Barry Goldwater, who once was the extreme but now would be the liberal wing of the GOP, opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That is no accident.
Neither was Nixonâs Southern Strategy, which exploited racist white grievances in the South (under the code of âlaw and orderâ) to wrest the South out of Democratsâ hands in 1968.
Nor was Reaganâs commencement of his campaign in Philadelphia Mississippi, where civil rights activists were murdered in '64, an accident. Reaganâs referring to âwelfare queensâ and âyoung bucksâ exploiting food stamps was a dog whistle to white supremacists and racists.
That was followed in 1988, by Bush I, who with the help of Lee Atwater made the entire race about Willie Horton, white fear, and sexual anxiety - I will never forget 1988 simply for how grotesque it was (recall it was so bad that Atwater on his death bed sent a letter apologizing to Bushâs opponent, Michael Dukakis - letâs hope he ccâed the NAACP).
And who can forget W. circulating rumors that McCain had a black child out of wedlock during the South Carolina primary in 2000, and that during his presidency Katrina was about the most blatant instance of institutionalized racism one can imagine.
Under Obama we had birtherism.
If you need me to recount instances of Trumpâs racism then you are likely too dumb to read these comments, but Iâm happy to rehearse them in another post.
It is clear to any with eyes the entire GOP platform is one intended to wage war against people of color, from the gutting of the social safety net to the EPA eliminating clean water regulations that will ultimately (like climate change) hit people of color the hardest (at this late date we may as well spell Flint Michigan w-h-i-t-e-r-e-s-e-n-t-m-e-n-t).
Racism and white supremacy is a historic feature of the GOP, not a bug.
Trust me - Iâm a gizzard who has hated it since I started voting some four decades ago.
Never rewarded the party with my vote as a result, never will.

Interesting to hear what the Nazi apologists have to say in that thread.
It wasnât the US government. It was the Red Cross, or a Mexican group.
Itâs better than an ID card. It wonât get lost.
Itâs not a tattoo.
It was done in Berlin.
Etc.
Of course, if the US government werenât led by such shitpiles, people wouldnât have been treated like this in the first place.

Except everyoneâs holed up in a sports stadium with very little shelter, and it just rained for 2 1/2 days straight. Markerâs going to wear off, even âpermanentâ ink. Just sayinâ, for the Nazis to understand.
