What do you do if you're just like chilling and hangin out and you're not near each other in the room and one of you wants to get the attention of the other for communication? Do you have to like get up and poke her, or wave madly until she notices? Or do you each carry a bag of rice and you just throw a few grains at each other when you wanna say stuff

If you hold down her arms, she can't sign "no" So how often do the rapes happen

Gypsum Fantastic posted:Do you sign at all, if so which do you prefer and if not do you feel this has excluded you from the 'deaf community' to an extent? Recently started learning it but it's pretty useless in everyday life. Lip-reading serves me pretty well with hearing people who don't know poo poo about languages of signs. But its nice to hang out with other deaf people/non-deaf people who know sign language cause it takes a lot less concentration than lip-reading. I don't really feel it has excluded me from the deaf community, they're pretty welcoming to people who only recently became deaf/only recently learned sign language. Main problem to me is they're surprisingly very religious and poo poo and I'm agnostic.

Main problem to me is they're surprisingly very religious and poo poo and I'm agnostic. I've ran into this myself too and I think it's because church is often the only time you'd ever run into another deaf person if you weren't actively involved in the community. here in my town all the older deafs are super observant and the younger generation (who generally went to school together, and had a much easier time keeping up with others thanks to the internet/phones) are about as religious as anyone else in their twenties

Have any of her other senses grown into superpowers to compensate for her lack of hearing? If it turns out shes actually not deaf, and one day calls you out for all the horrible things you've said and done while under the belief that she was unable to hear them, you'll share that story with us in excruciating detail, right?

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Have any of her other senses grown into superpowers to compensate for her lack of hearing? generally what happens isn't that you become extra-sensitive, it's that you pay that much more attention to the sensory input that you do get can't speak for her specifically but I notice poo poo and feel poo poo all the time that other people just completely overlook because of inattention. it gets funny when I tell someone that they just got a text because I can feel their phone vibrating and they're like "how did you know? I thought you were deaf"

While working at KFC in merry ol' England, a group of deaf business men and women came in to order food. Most of them just shoved their phones in my face with their orders on them, but one or two tried to tell me. It was really difficult to understand what they were saying and I felt embarrassed and bad that I didn't understand them.  I guess I have hearing privilege guilt.Plus since I'm American I also have a hard time understanding everyone's accents. I wonder if deaf people who speak have accents. Also I helped a blind guy cross the road once (a crosswalk but no stop sign or lights), and I didn't grab his arm, I offered mine to him because I didn't want him to yell at me like Al Pacino.

i saw a thing on tv where blind people learned tosee their environment through echolocation so if you farted around your blind girlfriend and it was silent to you she'd still hear it every time deaf seems to be the way to go

mrhotdogvendor posted:there are a number of mangas about couples that are dating and either one or both have a disability. Most common theme is deafness. Ah i see yeah its not some kind of weird manga fetish thing i just met a girl i like who happens to be deaf. Its strange actually, when you get better at signing and can communicate quicker you don't even think about it, i barely think about our communication difference anymore i talk with hearing people i sign with her and then if im with hearing and deaf people (like i was with her family yesterday) we just all do both at the same time.

What do you think about chomskian thought and the role of language on the development of thought? Language with clear grammatical rules and structure and the language acquisition device? what i'm asking is do you think sign language made you deaf girlfriend retarded?

newreply.php posted:If you guys ever had a kid and it turns out to be hearing, will you get the knitting needles and pop its eardrums? Her deafness is hereditary (even though none of her family are deaf) so if 'very' hypothetically we spawned a children there's a real good chance it would be deaf. I would be fine about that because i no longer feel like a deaf child cant have the same quality of life or choices as anyone else and from the start we'd be in a better position than most to work with that.

Does her writing ever seem... odd to you? I've read some stuff by ASL-signing deaf people and it all seems to come across as slightly different from standard English. Not sure how, but the word usage and general flow seemed a little off from the way I write/talk. Not incomprehensible by any means, but a little foreign. Have you noticed that or does BSL track better to the spoken language?

Not sure how, but the word usage and general flow seemed a little off from the way I write/talk. Not incomprehensible by any means, but a little foreign. Have you noticed that or does BSL track better to the spoken language? Jumping ahead a bit cos that's a real interesting point. BSL (like ASL) uses a completely different sentence structure and misses a lot of unnecessary words out. The word order is more similar to a lot of foreign languages i.e. subject first and such and because of that yes, it must be really weird to then write stuff a different way around. Luckily for me my gf having grown up in a hearing household has kinda learned to sign much like the English language in terms of word order, so she writes normally, but this does make it harder for her around other deaf people when she has to change her grammar. e: in a way it makes a lot more sense its blunter and more to the point, we don't really need a lot of the filler words we use ie me want cake is all you really need to say, signing can flow a lot quicker than the spoken word as a result. Now imagine when youre writing stuff down that you suddenly have to introduce all these bullshit words. Shirley Crabtree fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Jun 22, 2014 |

Having lights dimmed rather than off helps, im learning to read her expressions more. Valid question though because its harder for her to get across what she likes/doesnt because how can she sign at me during doggy etc?

1st AD posted:OP did you ever cop to farting while loving her Six-Of-Hearts posted:Have any of her other senses grown into superpowers to compensate for her lack of hearing? Well now. These two questions are kind of related and bring us inevitably to 'Fartgate'. For those of you who didn't follow this on the OKCupid thread some months back, the sequence of events as it happened is as follows... Our first night together we were in bed and I was feeling especially gassy and I thought well shes not going to notice if I fart so I went for it. It turned out to be one of the loudest farts of my life, the duvet shook and birds scattered from trees outside in fright. I was sure she would notice something, but she remained still. Then in the morning she let out a little squeeky one and i teased her about it, of course. She got very embarrassed and apologetic and asked me if i had farted in her presence yet to which I thought for a second and then answered no. Did she know and was that why she asked me? I honestly cant answer that so if she did well we're still together at least.
