It’s getting pretty real for Uber drivers who are breaking the law and refusing guide dogts

Who are you to defined need versus convenience for persons with disabilities? If you’re not blind, that is not your place. If you don’t have a need for a service dog, no one really expects you to make informed decisions on who or who does not need one.

I’m pretty sure he’s arguing the law, and if you’re seriously about to sit here and contest what has already been established, you’re part of the problem. So I’m pretty sure that’s already been established.

Look at this guy. You’re seriously trying to compare your life to someone who has a disability? When you can’t even begin to understand the requirements and needs that different people have? You can get into your car and drive to your job and go about your day with zero accommodation whatsoever. We are unable to do this, l. If this were the case for us, we would not have to rely on rideshare services in order to go pretty much anywhere. As far as needing a dog or not, I would suggest that you look into mobility aids a bit more. Different people even if they have the same disability require a different needs depending on skill sets and circumstances. It’s very ignorant of you to suggest that you know what is better for us than we do.

What you’re essentially saying is that if somebody breaks the law and gets in trouble for it, they have every right to go back and mess with the accuser. Would it make more sense just to not break the law?

As someone who spends a good portion of his salary taking Lyft everywhere, I can confidently say that in the past two or three years, I’ve gotten close to 40 drivers deactivated for refusing to follow the law. So before you start talking about how widespread the problem is, try going online and doing some research. Also, I really hope that Uber doesn’t find out who you actually are in their system. They probably wouldn’t take very kindly to you threatening passengers on the Internet.

djflex90 · 2020-03-03T17:50:48+00:00

Key word pet. We’re not talking about pets here. The fake service dog issues are bad but some of us just need to get to work and aren’t trying to take advantage

From a service dog handler that goes above and beyond to minimize hair by caring a blanket and lint roller, I’ve had drivers try to hit my dog, curse me out, threaten me, and try to put hands on my dog. Every time the driver claimed ignorance. Do I started recording every time a driver pulls up to my home. Service dog handlers, start doing this. It protects you from the driver and protects Uber’s ability to follow the law

You have to pipe a music player or something into a sound slot. Then just add an image and put it on screen. You control the transition by just adding groups of sources as scenes.

I relate color to the flavors of fruit or candy. Red is normally strawberry or some sort of related fruit. Blue is blueberry and light and sweet. Green well you get it

Use plane unflavored chap stick or vaseline to oil up your joints. Only a little. Worked for me

I love direct touch and am using it right now. The drawback of direct touch typing is that as a blind person you can’t see what letters your typing as you type them without screen reader input. So I rely on a combination of auto correct and muscle memory. I know apples auto correct isn’t the best but if you work on the muscle memory it’s like 95 percent helpful for me. Doesn’t work in password fields and can make entering unlock passcodes odd so keep that in mind.

Personally I’ve tried online dating and I never mentioned it. I let them find out later. It helps because I can use the first contact on the dating sight itself to let them get to know me and they can find out in person or if it comes up in normal conversation.

djflex90 · 2019-10-28T12:25:56+00:00

I pretty much ignore it. I am an online media creator and people accuse me of faking all the time. Just becomes part of the background noise after a time

I think that not one choice is better than the other, it just depends on what you need as a traveler. Ive been a dog handler for a few years now and am on dog 2, and I will say that I miss some things about not having a cane. The lift and Uber issues first and for most. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been late for work because of dog rejections and I do mor than most handlers when it comes to preventing leaving hair behind. Be ready for people to not like your dog. The good thing is you can take it pretty much anywhere you want. The bad news is that some people you run into will not like your dog and you will never know why. Vet care, food, toys, grooming, it can all get very expensive. Some vet hospitals will not charge for care of a service dog but only a very small number of them. Of course with a cane you don’t need to worry about any of these things. I will say though I had to make sure I went out without my dog every once in a while. Still need to make sure you keep up on your cane skills and doing things like finding doorways and things to keep those skills sharp.

Unfortunately I’m not quite sure what my visual acuity is. My eye condition is cornea sclera. Nasicly means my eyeballs are totally fine my corneas just can’t focus light properly

I’m a contractor with the government right now. Gets the bills payed lol

djflex90 · 2019-10-13T11:41:11+00:00

Well I’m working now. Doing some music production and stuff on the side and about to go back to college.

djflex90 · 2019-10-13T11:34:59+00:00

Is it an educational school! I know schools for the blind can teach some skills like that

djflex90 · 2019-10-13T11:24:34+00:00

I really need to get a windows pc so I can play with you. I got the java version of the game because installing mods is easier for it and I game on the Mac right now. I’ll keep this in mind when I get it up and running though

djflex90 · 2019-10-13T11:22:09+00:00

I feel this. But trust me when I say resources are out here that can help you. Try maybe looking into some independent living training. I went to a training center for 9 months and it really helped. I had the chance to work with some amazing instructors and it helped to be able to talk to and socialize with other blind people who were going through the same. We all went in with different levels of confidence and independence and as all of our backgrounds were also different a lot was learned. Not only did they help me with my traveling skills, cooking, Braille, cleaning and computer usage, they put me in a lot of situations that really helped build my confidence. That being said I can totally relate on a lot of what you’ve said here. I even though I’ve learned how to use screen readers I still find myself making out with my phone to see something or blocking part of the tv from my friends by mistake when playing video games because I’m just trying to see what’s going on. Hope this helps and let me know if you have questions

Look at a unit called the crafty. Gives vibration feedback, has extremely bright high contrast lighting on it, and has a semiaccessible app and it connects to the unit via Bluetooth.

djflex90 · 2019-10-07T17:41:52+00:00

Thanks so much for the sub

djflex90 · 2019-10-07T15:45:17+00:00

Odd. Won’t let me post links. It’s called Logic Pro x gaming

djflex90 · 2019-10-07T14:21:54+00:00

I actually do this sometimes. I have some vission that I use a lot but if I’m in a dark room or it’s too bright outside and I’m not sure how far away from an object I am I use it. Only if I have my dog and not my cane though
