    The Lounge thread: Whatever you feel like......... Anything goes! Part XVIII

    I feel like I'm living in a live active version of Gravity Falls. I can't wait to move back to a place where normal people live.

    Age Gap Relationship

    Some states I think you can get married at 16 with parents permission. One state you can get married at 13, which is crazy. Of course, there has to be one state where you can't get married til 21 with parents permission (Mississippi), but most states are 18...

    Nc Deaf Man Shot While Trying To Asl

    I wonder if they would care more if they had pay victims instead of the city. If they had to take out insurance like doctors ... the fact that there is no punishment and the tax payers pay victims are two of the reasons why it doesn't seem to be taken seriously by cops.

    To Wear Hearing Aids Or Not To?

    I wear mines when I feel like it. I enjoy hearing less. I didn't realize I lived near a railroad station for a few months. Being HoH isn't a big issue for me, but it is for others because they don't understand what it means but I'm done explaining myself :D

    Who is single here?

    I'm single by location. I haven't found a man worth dating in this city. Hopefully when I move to Houston or NYC ... not sure which one I'm going to choose, but I'll be able to find love.

    Nc Deaf Man Shot While Trying To Asl

    I do think they are trained to shoot to kill. There are so many dead people that were unarmed that makes me think differently. Deescalating the situation is something that is done if you aren't seen as a threat even if you just killed people.

    Nc Deaf Man Shot While Trying To Asl

    My driver's license says that I'm HoH. I feel like if they run my license it should come up, but IDK. It should come up with the plates are run, but it's flawed because that means that the officer has to run the license. Even with a sticker that would mean that the officer has bright lighting...

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    My school didn't teach ASL, so I was learning it on my own with help. My friend that is HoH that using ASL full-time was the one that was helping me learn. I'll start with one person.

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    I wasn't offended. I just thought what you said was interesting. I thought that people interest in ASL is short term. When they realize that it's an actual language, the interest sometimes wane. I work in IT pretty much networking & DNS stuff with a touch of security.

    What did you learn today? Part II

    I didn't realize people used Hulu. I watch everything on the internet free. I guess if you need subtitles it may be hard to find. I learned that access is an issue. I guess I always knew it was an issue but never really thought about it.

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    I tried it in college for a year because I had a friend that lived in the same state that I could sign with. She is fluent but was very patient with me. It honestly wouldn't really affect my work environment because I travel for work and don't always travel with the same people. If I'm at my...

    Accommodations At A Technical College

    They should be able to give you a note-taker. I had a note-taker for all 4 years of college. CART may be out of their price range but they should be able to pay someone mini wage to take notes for you. File the complaint now.

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    I've always had issues learning languages in general, so I may be biased. Like most languages, ASL has a lot of slang and words. Slang is also based on location, so in different states me a sign may mean different things. Unless you are willing to just learn the alphabet and sign every word it...

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    Isn't it cheaper to live in Albany? I moved out of NYC for work (I couldn't even rent an apartment with a job). I now live in OKC and make a little less than I make now. But I have my own place. I had a 1 bedroom for 499, but I updated to a up to date studio for 599.

    A Challenge/exercise!

    That's all I got too. Her tongue was so distracting in all of the videos. Also, it made me question my ability to lip-read until I saw a lot of people couldn't get it either.

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    Maybe it's me but I don't think ASL is easy to learn. I think once people realize how many different words and slang goes into ASL ... they give up because unless you have a reason to use it why learn.

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    I'm having this issue at work now. I work in an IT position and I told them I am HoH. Every time I go to training there is an assumption that I'm not paying attention when I'm working 2x as hard to get the same information. This is the second write-up that I got saying that it appears that I'm...
