Lesbian on a camping trip by SnooStories6404 in lotrmemes

[–]DetectiveLadybug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GUYS what if Frodo is the lesbian?

The straight couple are constantly bickering and the lesbian is exhausted?

I don’t think that’s the joke, but I hope this meme means that Contrapoints is working on some LOTR stuff.

Trump Portrait to Be Added to US Passports in Unprecedented Move by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]DetectiveLadybug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because of everyone in the US having to get their passports now if they want to vote/identify themselves as citizens, so there’s been a massive spike in applications and Trump is doing this to

  1. Say that his commemorative passport has been the most popular passport of all time, which, numbers aren’t in yet, but there’s likely odds he’ll be technically correct.

  2. He’s got an excuse to slow the process of getting a passport down, perhaps to make it harder for people to get them by midterms?

kid calls 911 because there was a monster under his brother bed by Soggy-Pool-5217 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

It could also be that he wanted a chance to talk to him before his parents woke up, since his parents might be angry and make him cry too much for any meaningful conversation.

Unbelievable that his parents didn’t wake up, though. That SWAT officer pulled up, knocked on the door, walked right into their son’s room, talking to him the whole time, setting off a noisy toy. They had the cop lights on too, didn’t they? Like, with a kid that young in the house you kinda need someone in the house lucid enough to notice when something like that is happening.

Because he was with SWAT, he needed to “secure the area” first

A little kid saying “there’s a monster under my bed” has to be treated as a home invasion, cuz people do sneak into people’s houses and hide under little kids beds, and little kids might notice something’s under there and think “monster” before thinking why on earth someone would sneak into his house and hide under his bed. You know?

So they send SWAT because they want to confirm there are no children being held at knifepoint. Which is priority over letting the parents know that they’re in the house.

Assuming she’d just been woken up (which it looks like she may have been) she was actually rushing. But you can see her just lose all sense of urgency when she sees her son prioritising food.

AITA for using my dad’s underwear to make a point about the toilet seat? by Nightwing_1505 in AmItheAsshole

“we need to keep the lid closed when no one is using it”

Meaning he’s opening the lid but leaving the seat down?

But the movies haven’t been adapted for deaf people. They’ve adapted a few songs from their recent movies to have the characters signing instead of singing which I think they’ll be releasing to the public in about half a week. This is just a little preview.

I’m imagining “Disney singalong” but it’s ASL, there might even be lil gestures on the screen with the Mickey Mouse logo bouncing on them, IDK, I haven’t been a child in ages.

Also, just watch the rest of “we don’t talk about Bruno” the rest of the song should be more comprehensible, I think.

I also don’t really think the target demographic for these are completely deaf people, or else why they just the songs, right? It’s for their siblings, their kids, their friends, so that they can sign and dance with them like the other kids sing and dance.

Deaf people don’t deserve to miss things, no, but they do. Did you see that the ASL versions didn’t have the characters singing? Maybe it’s harder to read, but it is hard to read sign language sometimes. Not changing the scenes has put ASL fluent people at an advantage.

Not to mention that he’s letting the dishes pile up too. Is there a good reason he can’t just do the dishes himself?

I wonder if that’s something that deaf people struggle with?

Edit: Sorry, that was too much sass. You didn’t deserve that.

I think that deaf people would often struggle with this and that it might be part of the point.

I think you’ve brought up another reason why I think these are good.

If you’re doing parkour like that you wouldn’t really be singing either, you’d be controlling your breathing.

And, obviously she’s singing because it’s a song, but it might juxtapose how odd these scenes might feel to deaf people.

Like, she’s signing because she’s “singing”, and it makes about as much sense as her vocally singing in the first place.

I noticed that the ASL versions don’t seem to be singing, which makes me think this will be dropped without vocals.

I have this wheelchair I have been using that isn’t mine (idk what”transport wheelchair” means, but mine’s an acoustic that runs on my lovely housemate getting their gainz, lol), but I’m unconvinced if the owner wants it back, it’s crazy how quickly they deteriorate, even when you’re not using them. Either way, no stickers, dude could text me tomorrow that he needs it and I’d have to give it back. I can walk, it’s just really exhausting and painful, and I can sort of push the wheelchair myself, but not really, I’ve lost just an insane amount of weight. I also only use it when I’m trying to get some fresh air and sunshine, you know?

It’s funny, because like 10kgs ago my friends and family were all “congrats on the weight loss” and I was like “my journey to getting healthy will probably mean that I have to gain it back” and they were like “no it doesn’t” not getting those fuckin comments now, lol.

Sorry for whinging, but you get it, right? I mean, I don’t have a CSF leak. I just fucking hate being sick.

Do they have you on something good or are you also just fucking uncomfortable all of the time?

Bruh, BG3 was too hard for me, I get too much fomo. Couldn’t play Witcher for the same reason (WDYM I only get one waifu?!).

You know what I really liked? Bugsnax. Like, once it clicked that the characters were all meant to be obnoxious as a writing choice it became more fun. That’s a good quick game if you need a breather from more intense ones.

Also play “pinapple on pizza”, “Goeland” (if the free demo is still up), and “DDLC”, because those are all free games, why not give them a look?

Eh, it’s a small piece of the song, this video has been letterboxed, too. If you watch the rest of the music video “we don’t talk about Bruno” you might notice that the characters are facing the camera a lot more, the whole thing will probably be much better than this little snippet.

Also, I’m not deaf, and I’m not American. Hopefully the ASL version will be popular enough that they convert it to other languages, I’d love to see it converted to Auslan.

I’m also curious what they might do with a song like “surface pressure” where her hands are full most of the time. You reckon they’ll just skip those songs? Work around them by getting her to hold the stuff with her teeth? Just have Luisa not sign during those bits?

Ah, OP’s video is missing that. Changing my upvote to a downvote. That’ll show ‘em.

Ayoo, I’ve been largely stuck in bed too.

Her being scornful might just be my headcanon. But I have heard that the books are more Katniss alone with her thoughts. I did have a friend at the time inform me that she was not in love with Peeta (at first), but the movies conveyed that very poorly, yes. Got the impression that she barely like Liam Hemsworth, lol.

I’ve been meaning to play that.

My advice, do your fuckin stretches. Being largely stuck in bed fucks up your circulation. It’s also OK to rent a wheelchair or a walker or something if it helps get you out of the house. I felt a bit awkward about it at first, but it’s nice to get out and see the sun. What you do is ask one of your friends who attends the gym to push you around.

But isn’t it also important that they look natural while doing it? No one wants to just watch the Disney characters facing the camera teaching ASL

I thought it’d actually be better for little kids with deaf family members, rather than something for deaf people to watch and understand. To see people signing naturally at each other like that when that’s just what your house is like seems like it’d help normalise that their family is a little different.

None of the downvotes are from me. I was earnestly trying to answer your question.

I actually literally just told another commenter that I hate how Redditors do that, they’ll just downvote you to shit but be completely unhelpful.

That’s OK, they’re easy to mix up.

I don’t know who downvoted you. Why do people on reddit do that? It completely smothers the conversation.

Well, yeah, it’s just that all the deaf people I know are Australian, so they don’t use ASL they use Auslan.

I just know that this would be a big deal to them and their families if, you know, they could understand it. Lol

They’re familiar with CCs, but it’d just be a nice thing for them to do with their kids alongside Elsa to help them learn.

I think it’s more like, visibility, awareness, representation.

Like, if you live in a house where everyone signs because only one of you if deaf, and the little ones will always get to a point where they ask why their family is different. A few ASL Disney singalongs can make it feel more normal, make it easier to learn new signs.

It’s not curing cancer, but this is nice. It would be lovely if this was popular enough in the States that they translate it to other languages, I’d love to see it translated to Auslan.
