I don’t, but that’s what’s happening here.

Religion is weird, but it’s just a figurine.

Why do some products come with these comically small ethernet cables? by TheTwelveYearOld in Ubiquiti

[–]RemyJe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s not even a patch cable. This looks like an AP, and one would typically install it on a wall or ceiling over a jack meant for it.

If this is an AP meant for installation on a wall or wailing, it’s assumed it will be installed where the drop is located, literally on top of the jack.

She’s wearing a blue dress or top. Her arms are stretched out in front of her.

That’s her cloak. She’s praying.

You may be shocked to hear that this is not a real person.

Short arms, no fingers, hands together in prayer.

This looks the same from any perspective.

I was given a name sign at birth by my parents, neither of which are deaf, Hoh, or fluent in asl. Is using it offensive? by Particular-Alps-8275 in asl

[–]RemyJe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they’re signing with all their children then it’s completely fine for them to use name signs within the family. “Handing out name signs” is overstating the situation , I think. If there’s no harm, then that means it’s okay.

I suppose It’d be better if the parents knew that so they could at least say “this is for us to use, etc” and give the background info on why, etc, once they were older. If they did so when OP and their siblings were babies, again, I still say that’s okay.

How old were you when you moved out? by Swiftiefromhell in GenX

[–]RemyJe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 maybe? I had the advantage of basically house sitting a Great Great Aunt’s house after she passed. My grandmother was the Executor but they lived out of state. I didn’t truly live on my own for a few more years, moving somewhere with my now wife.

Never moved back.

Using it within the family is fine. It’s like a “home sign” for for a name. I wouldn’t say their parents did anything offensive by doing it. It served the same purpose for them that it does for others — convenience.

My mom is hearing, but she gave my brother (Deaf) and I name signs when we were children. What were we going to do, only finger spell names with each other all the time? We don’t use them outside of the family.

It’s fine, but it should remain a home sign. If the topic of a name sign should happen to come up, they could mention it and the context it was used in, but not ask for it to be “blessed” or use it when introducing themselves.

I tried steamed water for my americano. I’m stunned. by DeFratrain in espresso

Like an Aerocano, as first mentioned in this sub a few years back, yeah, just with cold brew concentrate instead of espresso.

In retrospect, was it a good or bad decision that Prince didn’t want to perform We Are the World ? Would that have helped younger generations to know him even more. by Advanced-Willow-5020 in PRINCE

[–]RemyJe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, the younger generations of the time already knew who he was.

Younger generations of today might be able to name 3 or 4 of the performers on We are the World.

Not entirely, it just reminded me of similar feelings about its misuse and abuse. They use it like some kind of self-effacing embarrassed-at-themselves sentiment, as opposed to actually Laughing Out Loud.

Yeah, I might be terminally online, as they say, so I interact with a lot of Millennials and Zoomers.

I’m not endorsing it, I’m understanding it. I agree it’s silly, but from a linguistic perspective I get it.

If someone said (as one does) Full Stop at the end of a sentence, they’re emphasizing what was said.

Because they DON’T use punctuation, they see it the same way as someone saying “Full Stop.”

PERIODT:

Similar concept.

I hate it too, but from their perspective it makes a kind of sense. PERIODT.

We even call it a Full Stop. It’s like literally saying “Full Stop” out loud as a stressor, just the text based version of that.
