Could be interesting if true but thems are some big shoes to fill

Only $25? Fuck yeah

They pretty clearly use he/him pronouns tho

Except that’s way after critical language development could be aided by implants, leaving deaf adults who later decide to get them stuck having to relearn how to talk.

I took several years of sign language and I have to be real, the deaf community at large have some fucking weird opinions about healthcare

Deaf kids getting shunned because they got a cochlear implant is a good example

Or parents refusing inexpensive implants early in life for their kids because they’d rather their kid be deaf like them than even have a chance to develop regular speech patterns. It’s cruel.

Combine this with the simultaneous victim-complex about how hard it is being deaf (which is entirely fair. We did a project where we all wore earplugs for a week at school, and that was HARD. Got really good at cheating in ASL tho) and it all makes me feel kinda…. Icky?

“Being deaf isn’t a disability, but also we will shame you if you get treatment. Also being deaf is so hard and there’s a lot we can’t do. But I won’t let me daughter get implants, because then she would be less deaf than me, which isn’t a disability”

And it’s cruel, because then they never get the opportunity to develop speech when they’re young with audible feedback.

They must be balanced, as all things should be

shudders

Shit, I’d start with the reinstall personally

Realistically because it takes time and effort to integrate foss and self hosted solutions a lot people don’t have the energy or know how to do.

That’s a very obtuse response and the governments I’m referencing are obvious.
