guitarists everywhere rejoice

They’ve got all the data to prove it! It’s just at another school right now.

Cool story

Well, that’s a shame. I’m tempted to get rid of my account altogether, even with my grandfather pricing. I only pay $7.99. Same as when it was just GPM.

i look at this map every night before bed

nah, just trying to educate an ignorant person on something with which they know nothing about. what are your qualifications in talking about the deaf community? because please, I’d love to know your background. we know you’re not deaf, so is a family member deaf? a friend? how involved are you in the community? are you an asl interpreter? how involved are you in fighting active legislation that has chilling effects on the deaf populous? what do you do?

my previous point still stands, you were fighting about something which you knew nothing. yeah, I’m still mad as hell at the deaf community. but I don’t need vengeance. you clearly have limited emotional understanding if you can’t comprehend that anger is a valid emotion and separate from vengeance, an action. jeez, you’re just so ignorant.

I realized I was little inebriated when I last responded to you and didn’t fully comprehend your comment. I wasn’t calling you deaf. I was using the royal you referring to deaf people in general. You’re still just a self-righteous prick. My apology meant nothing and you are ignorant of what goes on in the deaf community, so stop.

You changed the argument. That’s why it’s a bad argument. It’s not your fault though, most people argue that way. I should not comment, I think. Clearly, it’s not an enjoyable experience for me anymore. This was very enlightening. Thank you for this opportunity. Peace and blessings unto you and your family.

Most people need to be paid to do work. Bad argument. I won’t be responding further, if this is how you argue.

Uncle worked down at city dump. He loved it. He was kind of a garbologist in a way. He was fascinated by all the things folks threw away. Retired there too. Got a job right out of high school and worked until he was 62 and retired. Dude has so many “trash” sculptures. That is to say, sculptures made out of trash. I think you’d be surprised the jobs folks enjoy doing.

Scholars have found the same verses with sometimes wildly different meanings in Aramaic before the time of Christ. Not even the Aramaic would be wholly accurate. Which totally makes sense when you realize how how it is written. It’s incredibly easy to misread.

Well, I’m not sorry I was rash. When a large group of people represent a community, and actively hurt people, you can’t be surprised when those hurt people are contemptuous toward that community. Same reason, people hate insert religion.

You’re just a whiny brat, trying to find your place in the world, focusing on identity for yourself, or others, so that you can feel like you belong and pious that you defended a minority group. Just focus on making human connections and be nice and stop this tribalism bullshit.

Feel free to respond with all the work you do for the deaf. I’ll be on the phone lobbying for them.

edit: changed apology, person is annoying.

edit2: why did you harp on the ears broke thing btw? deaf people’s ears are broken lmao. just like blind people can’t see. the deaf community does the most harmful thing which is, make deaf people think that’s all they can be. ugh, you are such an ignorant, awful person.

You’re right, it was hilarious as for four years a deaf family harassed us, because my mom wouldn’t give up her child to them because they were deaf and we were hearing. Fucking hell, you know nothing of my lived experience and chose to mock me. I have done so much on behalf on the deaf community, even though they spat in the face of my sister. I have fought the deaf community when they excluded her because she wasn’t deaf enough. She’s profoundly deaf, mind you. can’t hear a lick without her hearing aids, and even then. But she spoke. Because my mother sacrificed her whole life to make sure that she had every advantage while being deaf. She not only spoke, she spoke well. She only has a slight accent. She spoke so well, it had a chilling effect on all her deaf relationships. She could live in a hearing world, much easier than they could. So, in a way, you are right. It is ridiculous the things they did to her. It was awful when every year, she asked to go to deaf camp and came home early every time. I’m so sick of people like you acting like you know more about lived experiences than those who have lived them.

I don’t even know why this infuriated me. Maybe it’s because I’m very close with my sister and I’ve seen her struggles. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen the public school system take away the only interpreter they had to another kid because he couldn’t speak, so he was more deaf. Maybe it’s because I watched as the deaf community rallied around that kid in testimony against my sister in the lawsuit against the district. Maybe it’s because then I had to watch my Mother sacrifice her life as an educator to take us home and educate us. And holy fuck, praise be to her because I wouldn’t do it.

You know nothing about me, and yet you chose to make gross assumptions about me. As if that gives you some superior moral high ground. You are a shameful person to do so.

because every day we punch ourselves in the balls and think of how to make the day worse.

Tale as old as time. I’m still crying over Mookie

Yeah, I might would defend you on this, if it wasn’t for the fact that this “deaf philosophy” almost destroyed my family. They can get over it. Your ears are broke and if one day they find a cure, you should be so blessed. The deaf community is exclusionary and dangerous in my experience. It’s tribalism at it’s best.

Agreed. The AAV delivery isn’t even new. It’s just treating the signal from inner hair cells IHC to the brain, improving it. Most deafness comes from either damage/mutations to the IHC or Cochlea. In the case of a very close family member, they were born without IHC. Most or all, were gone. This is due to genetics, or viruses, commonly. In the case of my family member, it was the latter.

Those IHC are also what cause age related hearing loss and acoustic hearing loss. They get damaged over time, and with loud noises. Effectively, curing that is the cure for deafness. The problem with that is, the ability for regeneration diminishes with age. We can’t figure out a way to grow them, consistently, safely, and lasting. Because stem cell therapy is wild.

This is a needless argument as we’re arguing hypotheticals. It can be boiled down to, you would rather Trump live and risk whatever the consequences of that. I would rather not see that. Ça va. Cheers! Blessing unto you and your family.

thank you
