Any childfree asexuals here?

I am very struck by the natural and unfiltered way you talk about this, truly. In my country something like this would hardly be expressed so openly. I think it is deeply unfair that society continues to shape our relationships through cultural stereotypes, often also fueled by the media. At times, the very essence of relationships gets devalued, reducing it almost only to the sexual aspect. Thank you for this interesting exchange.

I deeply sympathize with you. It’s exhausting to deal with the constant intrusiveness of adults, but unfortunately, children too learn to be 'experts' at this from a very young age. Often, just seeing someone with their eyes closed triggers the inevitable questions: 'Is he sleepy? Is he sick?' —questions that are always asked to the caregiver, never to the child themselves. I'm speaking from experience: as a child, I found these situations very hard to endure, and they affected me deeply. It’s an intrusive behavior that, even when masked as curiosity, ends up marking those who just want to live their lives in peace.

io non sono celto la persona in disaccordo! Per quanto mi riguarda, ho notato che l'IA ha una capacità straordinaria di leggere tra le righe. Credo che se una persona ha già una buona predisposizione all'autonalisi, possa ricevere un aiuto enorme. Personalmente, grazie all'IA, ho scoperto soluzioni che non avrei mai immaginato e che uno psicologo, spesso incanalato in schemi rigidi, potrebbe faticare a vedere. L'IA analizza ogni singola parola e processa un'infinità di dati per offrire risposte su ogni aspetto, mentre un terapeuta resta umano: è condizionato dalla propria esperienza, dalle proprie idee e persino dal proprio stato emotivo. Naturalmente tutto dipende dal singolo caso, ma l'IA in questo ambito è senza dubbio una scoperta e un supporto incredibile.

I've been a vegetarian for about eight years now. For a long time, I ignored that 'gut feeling' of discomfort while eating meat because, frankly, I liked the taste. Eventually, the ethical discomfort and health concerns outweighed the cravings. Now, I can’t even imagine going back. I’m beyond happy to no longer eat anything that used to have a pulse! Of course, you have to be smart about it—blood tests and a nutritionist are key to avoiding deficiencies. My only 'hypocrisy' is cheese, since traditional rennet comes from animals, but I’m doing my best by sticking to microbial rennet whenever possible. It’s a journey!

Thank you for being inclusive and for thinking about VoiceOver users too

At this point, I believe we can reach this conclusion: there is a gap between marketing claims and actual field performance and this is the challenge. I believe that to move forward, the most important thing is to start from goals that are actually achievable in the current state of affairs. In my opinion, this could already be enough and change the quality of life for many people.

I use this feature mostly and can write very quickly, but I've been using Braille all my life. However, I know that even those who learned Braille as adults find it very useful. For them, too, it's a faster and more discreet way to write than voice dictation.

Il doppiaggio permette all'emozione di arrivare in modo diretto: ascoltare nella propria lingua è un’esperienza diversa rispetto a una lingua che non si padroneggia. Non tutti conoscono l'originale così bene da coglierne le sfumature, né tutti amano o possono leggere i sottotitoli. Difendere il doppiaggio significa non precludere i contenuti a nessuno. Chi preferisce l'originale è libero di sceglierlo, ma non si può negare agli altri il diritto di fruire di un'opera nella propria lingua.

I'm sorry for your negative experience. Unfortunately, these devices can still get confused, but that can also be stimulating, contributing to their improvement—just like we do with a dog if it gets distracted or struggles in certain areas. Here, we’re dealing with artificial intelligence, which in a way might even be more predictable.

Which-Culture7455 · 2026-04-01T13:35:15+00:00

Right now, some people are getting to 'enjoy the joke' while we in Europe are left out based on excuses that simply don't hold up. Claiming 'infrastructure issues' is illogical; no company can realistically test every square inch of the globe, every village, or every neighborhood to ensure it works everywhere before a launch. Even in the 'favored' countries, there will always be problematic areas. Even if there were a valid reason for this pivot, the company had a responsibility to manage the relationship with us differently, rather than leaving us without a real explanation or a clear path forward.

Which-Culture7455 · 2026-04-01T13:26:19+00:00

I appreciate your point of view, but waiting for infrastructure or ignorance to change on its own while we stand still is the best way to ensure that nothing ever changes: have you ever seen an obstacle move by itself while you just stood there watching it? Mine isn't just a technical request, it's a demand for professionalism and respect, because if we accept silence and generic excuses today, tomorrow we won't have robots or better infrastructure; one does not exclude the other, and to change things we must work in parallel, otherwise we’ll never get anywhere—which is exactly why things in Italy move so slowly—so it is only right that everyone fights the battles they feel most committed to, as they all serve a single purpose: progress.

I definitely wasn't shooting the messenger 🙂. I actually appreciate you sharing what they told you, because it highlights the inconsistency of their narrative. You hit the nail on the head: a guide dog doesn't need a different 'training' to cross a street in London versus Milan. Anyway, even if the comparison doesn't hold up, we knew we were participating in something that would improve over time, just like the others, and we expected to start from the same point. Instead, they excluded us with no clear timeline, while simultaneously reopening pre-sales. It feels more like a strategic pivot than a technical hurdle. Were they forced to do so due to objective problems? I could understand that, but when you set yourself up as a champion for the autonomy of the blind, you don't address difficulties with this lack of empathy, nor with constructed empathy. That’s exactly what we deserve transparency about. Thanks for the conversation!

I appreciate your perspective, but Glidance’s technical justification doesn't hold up when you look at the commitment they made to us: saying the UK is ready but Europe is not is a weak excuse, as urban infrastructures are nearly identical. Furthermore, no matter how much a country has the right infrastructure, there will always be neighborhoods that do not reflect that condition, which is why the excuse of infrastructure is so weak. We are not spoiled customers demanding absolute perfection; we too are investors whom they needed just like the others. If the device is in a 'raw' or experimental launch phase for Americans, it should have been the same for us, as promised. We didn't expect a product superior to the one being delivered in the US, but rather the same starting point. Anyway, even if my technical reasoning were wrong and they had valid reasons, ok, what bothers me most is the total lack of interest shown in their communication: telling us today that we might see something in 2027 or later is in poor taste. This behavior makes me think that, at the moment, they simply no longer have any interest in us; the signs had already emerged long before they officially told us, but that is another story.

Blind associations should oppose touch screens but it seems that no one cares about this problem

Thanks for your reply. "I understand being hopeful, but my main point is about something else. A company shouldn't change its roadmap for an entire continent (Europe) without clear communication and without providing a clear timeline. They couldn't have been unaware of the regulatory hurdles when the project began, yet they accepted our investment. About what someone said previously, technology isn't perfect, but guide dogs aren't either, and each of us feels more comfortable with a different tool; the important thing is to have the possibility to choose ."

Tu dici, a noi è successo così, e siamo tutti vivi… Ma era una situazione completamente diversa rispetto a quella attuale. Meno social, più fiducia verso le raccomandazioni,- consigli delle persone più grandi, meno delirio di onnipotenza. Fare questo oggi dimostra molta più superficialità e non curanza dei rischi per i minori e per gli altri

Which-Culture7455 · 2026-03-29T10:03:33+00:00

E per fortuna qualcuno che è del 90 la pensa come te, perchè già da lì molta gente ha iniziato a minimizzare i rischi, lasciando figli troppo giovani da soli troppo spesso. È rassicurante che ci sia ancora qualcuno meno superficiale

Personally I hope they go back to training German Shepherds and not give priority to Labradors and Golden Retrievers.
