Oh Hell No posted:Do these people think hearing people aren't capable of learning sign language? Because I've met quite a few hearing kids with deaf parents or siblings who grew up using both ASL and spoken English. So there's this Thing where the big deaf college was mad that their president wasn't born deaf. They were "not deaf enough" because they weren't born deaf to deaf parents and with a deaf spouse and deaf children. This president had a hearing spouse and hearing children and a deaf mother but was raised to speak orally and only learned sign language later. So it doesn't matter if they can learn sign language.

SodomyGoat101 posted:From a couple pages back, but no. It wasn't that she wasn't "deaf enough", it's that she wasn't deaf at all. The majority of the Board of Trustees were also not deaf. The students didn't believe that their interests were sufficiently represented. The whole thing exploded because before Elizabeth Zinser was elected there had been substantial campaigning from Gallaudet's students and public support from all over the place, and the Board still put the only hearing person on the ballot in charge. Nah, that case was completely understandable. I was talking about a different case of it, as Albie mentioned.

Aesop Poprock posted:"be a great help meet to him"? Honestly, "help-mate" makes more sense. It just means a helpful partner. And I can agree on that much? You're not supposed to just leave everything to your partner. Don't know how that translates to "do all the chores, you bitch" though.

Byzantine posted:"Helpmeet" is the archaic form of "helpmate". Yeah, I just figure they're reading it as "help meet", two disjointed words that don't seem to quite make sense together, which is fair. Helpmate would be a better modern-day "I understand what you mean" translation. chitoryu12 posted:Die Antwoord and their fans are accusing the Suicide Squad movie of ripping off their style for the Joker and Harley Quinn (pretty sure their style was all taken from certain comics that already existed, but whatever). That Joker thing definitely did not come from comics, it came from "drug dealers on Instagram." I mean, they already pointed out where the "inspiration" came from, and it's something you can see pretty easily. I don't know why Die Antwoord is so convinced it was them in particular. Are they drug dealers on Instagram?

Fathis Munk posted:Yeah that's also something that I found off about the witcher where you're supposed to be reviled as a mutant freak and there are a couple one off lines about it but it never goes anywhere because it would impede game play. Well, I think they actually did that fine in the Witcher, because he's the kind of mutant freak who is necessary. People are cool with him... you know, as long as he's fighting enormous, terrifying monsters. Also, when your variety of mutant freak means you are really good at killing things, people might be too scared to speak up about how much of a mutant freak you are. I actually remember in Witcher 1 going "WHY are you cool with saying this to me, I'm a murder machine" and then feeling satisfied when he threatens to kill the entire drat village if they gently caress over the witch. THIS IS WHY YOU GUYS SHOULD SHUT UP. I call this one "FuckYou.jpg"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njauePtToIU The guys at Achievement Hunter played a game about saving Trump- sorry, RUMP from being shot. The comments were instantly filled with assholes who clearly didn't watch the video where they went through GREAT PAINS not to court the inevitable lovely responses they knew they'd get. Some choice gems: quote:I'll never understand how people think it is funny joking about killing a man, even if you think he is vile. Hillary Clinton is a terrible person, but I don't wish death on her. quote:I do not with death for Hillary as well. I want her to suffer. Killing her and all the pathetic excuses of human beings that are beside her is giving them the easy way out. I want her AT LEAST to spend a lifetime in prison. But death would suffice if that was the only thing I could get. Not because I want her dead out of revenge, but to stop her from doing anything further. Wanting someones death from hatred and rage IS inhuman. Wanting it to stop the demise of many other, potentially good, people is only sensible. quote:She'll die on her own from her seizure condition pretty soon, don't need to worry 'bout that. quote:We need trump for president, not the murderous lying Hillary. The lies that she say and things she covers up are super scary, and you think the two are comparable, just how the gently caress? quote:ITT: people who need their neighborhoods enriched by refugees quote:Or how many people are going to die when Hillary makes an executive order of war against Russia for the leaks when there's no evidence of the Russians being involved. Or the wish to destabilize Turkey and many of Russia's allies. I believe a big reason no one wants to vote for Trump is "He's a warmonger!", but Hillary's already laid out a plan for a decent sized war. quote:If someone made a game like this about hillary they and their family would go missing! quote:thats cuz liberals are liars and hypocrites. honestly Hillary is more sexist and racist than Trump quote:honestly Hillary is more sexist and racist than Trump quote:more sexist and racist than Trump

My aunt posts a Fox article. The content of the article is basically "he hired a black man who said he was treated well." Also there's the recent talking point about how he helped desegregate schools. Well, there's more than one way to penalize black students for being black. The only source I can find for these desegregation claims is this on Wikipedia: He denied that he had not sufficiently pursued civil rights cases, saying that "when I was [a U.S. Attorney], I signed 10 pleadings attacking segregation or the remnants of segregation, where we as part of the Department of Justice, we sought desegregation remedies". PS: We live in Alabama, so this isn't some guy from somewhere else.
