I don’t much care of what is said, when it is just. I’m more concerned with those who claim to know the difference

Lol, that’s pretty ingenious. It’s soothing and the animation is kinda boring, especially the beginning. Bravo

Full-disclosure… I found it online and am about to re-watch it

Idk how obscure, but “Puff the Magic Dragon” was definitely a weird one for me. Kinda glad it got lost (probably thrown out, who knows)

That’s how it feels when I have to drive through Mississippi; the state line can seem like night and day in regard to the roads. It sometimes goes from feeling like your off-road driving to smooth as butter

Where I live, that would unnecessarily tear up the roads. It don’t snow here
- Comment on How do some people "read lips"? 11 months ago:
I still wear masks in public, but holy shit does it make people harder to understand when I can’t see their lips. I wanna say that someone made a “clear” mask for that exact reason. Dunno how exactly or where I remember that from, but it’s a good idea

Your experience seems very much like my own. I don’t have hearing loss, but what I assume is an auditory processing issue with speech.
It’s much easier for me to understand what someone is saying when I can see their mouth and microexpressions. If my back is turned, I don’t always catch everything. Sometimes I keep hearing the “wrong thing” no matter how much I ask for them to repeat it… so I just learned to repeat back whatever non-sensical thing I “heard”; and that either helps me process what they were trying to say, or they will repeat it back slower and more clearly. It’s frustrating sometimes, especially in noisier environments with a lot of other stimulus… that’s when seeing someone’s lips will help the most for me
And of course, I love subtitles. Otherwise I have to blast the TV, and still will miss things. The subtitles just clarify what I’m pretty sure I heard, or what I missed. I’m not just reading my way through everything, unless it’s in another language… which than does feel like a switch in the way I “see subtitles”

You caught me just as I was getting ready to workout. So I tacked on 30 push-ups to the end of my 30 mins of cardio. I hope you’re happy, cause I’m exhausted

Currently on the toilet, having a pre-workout poop. It feels like Lemmy is watching me.
I was going to just do cardio, but I guess I’ll add 20 push-ups at the end… I’m now too scared not to
