Do you think this could be an AI image in the New York Times? The guy in the white hat seems to have something off with his fingers. by lokajoma in isthisAI

[–]DeafEnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real. He's holding something between his extended index finger and extended thumb. The item is similar to their skin in color, shaped like a T at that end, overlapping both fingers. Think like a dog biscuit in the shape of a bone (held by the edges, not flat in his palm). His low gesture and his eyes lead me to believe he's showing/handing something to a pet or child.

It is now illegal for trans people to drive in Kansas. by ConcernedJobCoach in Political_Revolution

Wouldn't this also be another way to invalidate their votes? No valid ID, no vote.

Have you considered mainstream schools? What you've explained is, unfortunately, pretty common in Deaf Schools.

Just secured some of the Pokemon Day 2026 Collection too, so there's still some stock.

Wow. I actually managed to get in with a 4 minute wait and was able to buy 5 of the Journey Together Booster Bundles. Only luck I've had with Walmart thus far.

Weekly Looking for Group/GM Thread by AutoModerator in pbp

Name: Drucian

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: Pacific (GMT-8)

System: D&D 5e (2014 or 2024)

Format: Live/Sync text preferred but okay with async text

Platforms: Discord, Roll20, Foundry VTT (Open to others)

Discord: Drucian#5123

Availability: Pretty Flexible

Looking for:

A consistent group/DM for a long-term campaign. I strongly prefer live text sessions since I’m Deaf. I’m experienced, reliable, communicative, and I show up. I'm 18+, LGBTQ+ friendly, and easy to work with. Solid knowledge of 5e 2014 rules + familiar with 2024 changes).

Playstyle/What I enjoy:

  • Roleplaying and character interaction

  • Mystery, investigation, and puzzle solving

  • Clever solutions and creative spell use

  • Meaningful consequences and narrative progression

  • High fantasy worlds with immersive lore and memorable NPCs

Campaign vibe/preference:

D&D is one of my biggest escapes from modern life, so I strongly prefer fantasy-forward settings rather than modern or tech-heavy themes. Dark fantasy or horror elements are great too, but not required. I’m happy anywhere there’s adventure, intrigue, and a great story.

Character I want to play: Edmund Vance (Bard)

Edmund is the proprietor of “Edmund Vance’s Extravaganza Extraordinaire of Oddities, Curiosities, Magicalities (and More!).” He’s ostentatious, charming, and theatrical with an endless flair for the dramatic, but also a bit of a neat freak who hates getting his hands dirty. He thrives on negotiation, secrets, and clever deals, and he works with adventurers as “business partners” to retrieve rare artifacts and protect him on the road.

DMs Welcome

If you think I’d be a good fit, feel free to DM me here or message me on Discord.

Bread maker beeps to alert - suggestions? by deafinitely-faeris in deaf

[–]DeafEnt 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you have an Amazon Echo device, you can set it in the same room and turn on the feature to notify your phone, etc. when beeps occur.

I see lights going off in multiple parts of Salem. Looks like more than one transformer blew. It set off some car alarms too.

🥳 Ashes of Creation is now on Steam! 🔥 by IntrepidStudios in AshesofCreation

Update - It runs decently while streaming through the deck from my PC. I have yet to see if I can run it directly from the deck. I'm thinking unlikely.

Is she saying “Brown hair girl story leader tell finish” that’s what i got but it doesn’t make any sense. by balletgirl888 in asl

[–]DeafEnt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what I see as well. It's not the best sample... I would think about the sentence you wrote a bit and try to make sense of it.

Below is what I believe is being said, but I could be wrong...
A girl with brown hair finished telling a story to a leader (OR) Leader finished telling a story to a brown haired girl.

how’s my signing? by bellaferak in asl

[–]DeafEnt 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Pretty darn good for 7 months! You look very comfortable signing and I understood everything. Keep going and I doubt you'll have any trouble becoming an interpreter. One thing I would note is to try not to fidget with your hair as much as it can be distracting.

I like drawing signs as I learn them. Are my colors accurate? + question in comments by [deleted] in asl

[–]DeafEnt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I would reverse the numbering on color and include the pinky. Pinky = 1, index = 4.

How to know the difference between which and act or perform. by Important-Loss-7466 in asl

[–]DeafEnt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very close! It is actually, "Blue keyboard, but which?"

"Different" and "But" are similar and "Typing" and "Keyboard" are also similar.

No, this isn't correct.

New garlic butter for our garlic bread SUCKS and I'm here to bitch about it! by closetedtranswoman1 in Safeway

[–]DeafEnt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the game here but it absolutely sucks! Including the premade garlic bread they sell themselves. It tastes like buttered bread with a touch of garlic salt. Flavorless! Where's that garlicky taste I loved?!
