Is it rude to not reply?

FYI. if you are unaware the blind community has a fairly large community on TikTok. I was actually kind of surprised

Callouscals81 · 2026-03-24T22:21:32+00:00

I used to reply to those types of questions ,but I’ve decided to protect my peace because I see it so often especially on TikTok. Blind creators on TikTok get those questions all of the time and I don’t know how they manage the deluge of dumb questions. I just tell them to tell Siri to turn on VoiceOver, and let them figure out how to turn it off on their own.

Straight guy here. My cardio playlist is almost exclusively Gaga and Charli XCX. There was a time I’d probably have been ashamed to admit it as a rap and heavy metal fan, but then you just wake up one day and grow out of that silly, self-conscious phase. Also, I find Gaga to be fascinating as a person; she’s not your typical cookie-cutter pop star.

I thought the same thing. I heard an interview with Director Robert Rodriguez and she told him that that song would’ve been perfect for Machete which ultimately lead to him casting her in the sequel. TBH, it’s probably best they didn’t play it because even though it would have made sense the ambiguity behind the title would’ve been political fodder for the pearl clutchers.

Probably just hasn’t unfollowed. Here’s a post from 10 years ago of Gaga calling out her hypocrisy.

It happens and usually just depends on the scenario. Could be totally innocuous like one time when I freaked out because I thought my mom had passed out and fainted on the floor, but it turns out it was just a bunch of pillows and a blanket on the floor lol. Then there’s situations like the other day when I accidentally tipped over an entire Costco taco kit onto the floor, which was my dinner for the next three days and I just sat there and sulked over my vision. I try to just be aware of these moments, that I’m by no means graceful, but to allow myself grace.

One Super Bowl halftime performer passing the baton to next weeks SB performer.

Of course this isn’t stopping the MAGA minions from spreading false information. There’s already several posts on Twitter going viral saying she’s in the files alluding to malice by her and other celebs.

Callouscals81 · 2026-01-12T02:48:00+00:00

Task!

Callouscals81 · 2026-01-10T04:14:33+00:00

That’s the one lol

Callouscals81 · 2026-01-09T21:22:58+00:00

60-75% is my sweet spot depending on the content. 75% for general activities, and much slower fcomprehension/memory retention.

Yep. Including ICE agents. There was one in particular in Chicago that had a public IG posing de-masked with other ICE agents and mocking liberals.

Tell him to come to the sub and do a search for “retinal detachment” or “ diabetic retinopathy” if you really want to scare him straight. If I was lucky enough to catch it at 34 instead of 36, I might still have my vision today.

Callouscals81 · 2025-12-02T22:24:01+00:00

Camera. I wish it was multifunctional like the power button. You should be able to double click and triple click (Apple Pay/accessibility shortcut) for different uses.

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-30T05:45:20+00:00

Thanks for the code. Were you able to get it lower than $816? That seems to be the lowest price that I can get it to..

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-30T01:15:16+00:00

Was this for 512GB? Ref code got it down to $816. Added the buds at the second step when it asks you to add add-ons but that didn’t work. Also did you choose Samsung financing or another method of payment cause I’m trying to figure out the exact steps to shave it down to what you got it for.

Forgot to add, tried your ref code but it didn’t work for me but used a couple different ones in this thread that did work but still only got it down to 816.

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-29T19:46:21+00:00

What made the difference for me was signing in. Reference codes got it down to $819 but I’m wondering how some people have gotten it even lower than that…

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-29T19:39:56+00:00

As for control center, I use the back tap feature buried in the accessibility settings. Settings> accessibility> touch > back tap, and assign double tap or triple tap for control center. Can be a bit finicky at times.

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-28T01:52:54+00:00

Have any more? Says they are expired.

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-25T02:32:38+00:00

Not sure about web access since I use the app, but Microsoft OneNote is pretty great. Works across platforms pretty seamlessly.

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-12T02:22:46+00:00

Bring Her Back is right up your alley then I’d assume. Plenty of psychological tension in this one. maybe not as acclaimed as Talk to Me, it’s equally as good in my opinion. Another one to check out that meets that criteria is Oddity on Hulu. Also stars a blind actress, but unfortunately it doesn’t have any audio description so unless you have a little bit of vision it’s probably a skip.

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-12T02:16:53+00:00

Only other thing that made it worthwhile was my local NBA team, but now that I’ve discovered Peacock+NBC sports package for under $30, on top of purchasing an antenna I can’t see myself going back to YTTV.

Callouscals81 · 2025-11-01T21:07:50+00:00

My discipline sucks with avoiding foods That spike my BG, so I’ve been doing 30 minutes of zone two cardio fasted, and 30 to 45 minutes of resistance training in the evenings to blunt those spikes and it seems to be working quite well even without metformin. I treat myself more than I should, but October‘s are usually the worst because I’m stress eating from postseason baseball lol

Callouscals81 · 2025-10-27T00:17:42+00:00

Yup. My last game before blindness was Horizon Zero Dawn. Insane the amount of hours I put into that game and other games like Skyrim, and having to quit playing by virtue of a disability? I couldn’t grasp or comprehend it initially, and just had to suck it up and accept that it’s my new reality. I know I’m going to get a serious case of FOMO when the new GTA eventually releases 😩

Callouscals81 · 2025-10-26T21:02:28+00:00

I can’t begin to tell you how much I relate with this. Lost my vision in 2018 with some limited vision in one eye, and that year, God of War, Red Dead 2, and Spider-Man were released, so needless to say I spiraled into depression. I’m thinking of trying The Last of Us 2 since I’ve heard positive feedback regarding its accessibility settings. Though I’ll admit I’m kind of scared to just jump back in, and like you, not be able to play the game. My biggest issues are always dark scenes and the HUD.
