  • Pretty sure that depends entirely on the individual. Since being deaf (or blind for that matter) isn’t as binary as it appears there are various degrees of hearing impairment. Perhaps one person is completely deaf, while another is still able to perceive certain frequencies, and yet another just needs it to be really fucking loud but if it is they hear just fine.

    From my personal experience with a nearly deaf acquaintance they are using a special kind of hearing aid they can tie into their devices via Bluetooth. So they have the sound sent directly to the device specifically configured to allow them to hear.










  • Speaking of mod power abuse, some days ago one of your mods deleted my (very mildly) snarky comment for “mod harassment”, which I didnt even know they were until that point. I suggested they should be a little less petty and argumentative in random comment chains.

    I did not report that bs at the time because I honestly dont give two fucks about the guy and have since blocked him, but I’m sure you can find it in the mod logs.




  • I mean, I think that on basically any advertisement I see. “Why the fuck does anyone buy this shit? It is a literal attempt to get at your money”.

    But here we are, ads are everywhere and possibly the most pervasive and intrusive concept we have ever come up with as a species. They get crammed into everything, seep into every place they weren’t before, despite people overwhelmingly hating them.

    Yet someone must be eating them up.


  • i have a very sensitive nose, and let me tell you i have not met a single person who says of themselves they don’t smell and actually don’t, they absolutely do. We are just used to our own and dont register it unless it gets intense.

    I’m not saying you should bathe in perfume or obsessively rinse your scalp with bleach, just that if people go several days without using soap on themselves I 100% always smell them. For hair it isn’t much different.

    What annoys me personally about it (to the point that i blocked the community) is that it is mandatory. That’s not humor, or funny, that is weird performative scripted humor. I often felt reminded of carnival speeches.

    I’d also argue that it isnt very successful in clearing anglicisms from the german vernacular when it is all about making the most incorrect and cryptic literal translation imaginable to the point that nobody could understand unless they are well versed in those anglicisms.
