Annoying weird kid in this video is the guy doing the speed running. Guy speaking is just trying to make a very boring amount of time slightly less boring. Donors who get him to do poo poo for cash are great and he's a great guy for doing it too. Hero. Olympic Mathlete has a new favorite as of 11:27 on Mar 8, 2017 |

I always wondered why the people on the couches at those things don't talk more and half of them never say anything, and now I know they're all trying to avoid getting called out like that.

Yeah, I enjoyed occasionally watching speedruns of games I liked when the person doing it would talk about what they were doing, "Now, I stand against the door and toss the grenade straight down and, there I go, right through the locked door" and how their tricks worked. Now they turn on their tool sets to get everything frame perfect and sit there without moving for three quarters of an hour. Why even bother having a mike or camera in that case?

When I studied ASL a couple years back we learned all sorts of weird poo poo, but I think the one that took the cake was the day our Deaf teacher told us that calling him "hearing disabled" was the same as calling a black person the n-word.

I feel deaf people just double down extra hard on being unique and cool because they'll never get to enjoy music as intended. I know I'd probably go crazy if I wasn't able to listen to music. :/

Jummy posted:Deaf people stories I live in a city with two big state run schools, a school for the deaf and a school for the blind. I used to sell men's clothing, and every time a blind dude came in, it was always a lot of fun, because they would ask you to walk them around, feel the clothing, ask how things look, ask about style, and try things on. They'd usually bring a friend and we'd have a good time. Never had a bad experience with a blind guy. The deaf guys would come in, become irate if you didn't know sign language, and then write out what they were looking for; however, it was always in the most chicken-scratch, terrible loving handwriting ever. They hit another level of rude in writing, too. "TUXEdo! NeeD it NoW!" It was never fun, even when they could lip read. I get the frustration of not being able to communicate, but goddamn, work on your handwriting and grammar. Even the dudes who had little PDA devices had terrible syntax in their sentences.

Sign language actually uses a simpler syntax than spoken sentences, it's almost a different language that just happens to use the same words. I guess some of them carry that over to the written word as well? I know a deaf guy whose Facebook posts were pretty hard to decipher because it always felt like he left out half the words although he's gotten a lot better recently.

I had one that just showed it every time he was sick or whatever and needed something for the substitute to "do" with the class. Same movie every time, always Mr. Holland's Opus.

I know a deaf guy whose Facebook posts were pretty hard to decipher because it always felt like he left out half the words although he's gotten a lot better recently. Yeah, this is pretty common. Then there's the issue of learning to read and write without having the added benefit of knowing what the words sound like. Language probably develops differently without being able to hear.

I imagine sign language cuts alot of useless words out for speed of communication and context becomes important so switching from sign to written is maybe like switching to another language, you don't know the grammar but it's not necessary to get your point across. Probably gets wierd when some aspects are part of the body language as well so 'Can you please get me a size larger' becomes 'Get size larger'. Or maybe deaf people are just assholes.

It also doesn't help that most (American) public schools aren't equipped for deaf or HoH students, so they just stick them in special ed classes and they don't get proper written language instruction. I worked with a deaf guy for a few summers whose parents pulled him out of middle school for that reason and sent him to a Deaf school to actually get some semblance of an education.

Anything making fun of Milo Yiannopoulos and his misfortune is velvet to me. http://theberry.com/2017/02/21/the-most-hilariously-ice-cold-reactions-to-milo-yiannopolous-losing-his-career-lr/   this classic   oh please no  Also for a long time I thought his name was Milo Breitbart, I don't know if it counts as schadenfreude but my friends seemed to find it amusing.
