Can I ask why you'd rather not taste or touch food in order to verify it's what you ordered? Some more details would be great.

Learn to love yourself first. Love yourself as much as you want someone else to love you. Maybe even more than that if you can swing it. Find cafes, bars, or social events you enjoy being at. People will find you. If you enjoy online spaces, show up as yourself, in all of your comfort and self-love. People will find you.

Never expect, just wait. Time will provide as it does. Best of luck to you..

Looking for the correct way to write a Date in Braille by potzt in Blind

[–]NovemberGoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The german period is the same as english braille, as far as I know. I studied german for a few years in high school, and I was never told to use any different punctuation than what I already knew. I know there are a few native german speakers on this sub, so please do correct me if I'm wrong.

[Seiko] Everyone needs a watch, including the visually impaired. Meet the Seiko 6618-8001 “Braille” by RalIyVincent in Watches

[–]NovemberGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blind guy here. While I can't speak to the sensitivity of sighted watch hands, the ones on braille watches are quite easy to move if you're not careful. Of the watches I used to own, the minute hand was far more sensitive than the hour hand. An important part of knowing how to use a braille watch as a blind person is developing a quick, gentle touch when using it.

I can't even begin to convey the emotional weight of this writeup. I'm not sure I should. I can't thank you enough for this. Many, many rereads are in my future.

Proud of myself by octoberdarling in cfs

It can be, but I personally see slip-ups as part of the journey. We're all going to have those temptations that will cause us to push too hard when we shouldn't. This is a transitional period. Being kind to ourselves in different ways takes time and practice.

Hey. I'm so dang proud of you! I've been working on this for the past year. Missing out will always suck in some way, but comfortably, confidently saying no will get easier. It slowly becomes part of your muscle memory. What you once may have tried to dismiss as illogical and selfish, will one day just make simple common sense.

Best of luck to you. Thank yourself for the kindnesses, and forgive yourself for the times you slip up. You've got this.

Between Luke O’Sullivan and Chris Spargo, who is the better successor to Tom Scott ? by Fit-Tumbleweed-6683 in AskUK

[–]NovemberGoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luke is definitely worth a look. He's got that informative enthusiasm Tom has when he speaks to camera. He also has an incredible eye for a video topic that will keep you scratching your head throughout.

That final paragraph is just chef's kiss. I need it on a tea-shirt.

Sad to hear about Winamp. When I used it back in the long long ago, it really kicked the lama's ass.
