- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 1 month ago:
“Deaf” just means that you have such profound hearing loss that you can’t communicate verbally properly, most deaf people do register sound albeit very badly.
I, for instance, have about 75 dB hearing loss, I don’t hear people walking, and barely register high heels on tiles, I don’t hear cars driving either, but I do hear it when they sound the horn; to give an idea of my deafness.
But I do know what spoken languages sound like, and what rhyming means. And how weird English spelling is, compared to its pronunciation. (English is my second/third language after Dutch and DSL, if that matters)

Some hearing people don’t have internal monologue, either!
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 1 month ago:
Yep, and there is sign language poetry in lots of different sign languages!
It’s a beautiful and unique artform IMO
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 1 month ago:
Most people who are medically deaf can still hear a bit. Also, deaf and hearing are proper nouns, no need to capitalise them for the NAD’s odd outbursts.

Get uBlock and SponsorBlock for YouTube my guy, it saves so much!
- Comment on Apps doing year wrapped gives you a hint on how are you being tracked. There is probably a legal issue there somewhere like data retention. 1 month ago:
The only software that could do that for me was Steam; saying when I played which games how long, and if it appeared to be on a Steam Deck or not. It did not nearly track all the Deck data, it seems if the Deck has no Internet connection for long enough it kind of just discards data it held and it never gets synced to Steam. For my desktop it was accurate, but only the game time stats it already let me know it tracks.
Since nothing else could “wrap” my annual data I think I’m going fine.

PC, Switch, PS4; ok
Xbox, SNES, GBA; rare but welcome
Genesis, Saturn, Neo Geo; incredibly rare!Some of these, such as the Saturn and GBA, are such wildly different platforms!
Porting this must have been no small feat, and I wonder if there are differences between some of the versions? - Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 3 months ago:
Alternative forms

As Arnhemmer, I don’t completely agree.

They just had no ananas exposure beyond that from the Americans. - Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 3 months ago:
as they couldn’t pronounce the Dutch word
I mean I can’t blame them, the language’s phonosyntactics are very different from French, it’s hard to pronounce in general and sounds awful to boot.

It’s a bit cherry picked, but only a bit, since there are a few languages that just copied the English word later on.
Japanese and Korean come to mind. - Comment on Badgers 4 months ago:

There is no concencus, slightly more people oppose to rename the page, but only sightly.
I hope they keep it up, to avoid confusion, and to spite their current, dickhead CEO
