the only time my face was ever felt by my blind friend was when i had an allergic reaction rush and we realised the wee bumps read "f**k you" in braille, it was the funniest thing ever.
I don't know if I trust optometrists on what's "legally blind." They won't tell me what my eyesight is any more, (it was 'worse than 20/400, back in the day) but say I'm legally blind, but with my glasses I have nearly 20/20 vision. For the last one, I don't blame the guy. We see in movies, TV shows, news reports and documentaries of blind people touching other people's faces to get a feel for them. It sounds like an honest question and your response of "nope, and we're not gonna" just sounds like you're setting yourself up to be single for life.
@@grondhero Firstly, what constitutes legal blindness is very clearly defined. It’s measured by the visual acuity of your best eye with corrective lenses. I also have 20/400 vision, but glasses do not correct that. If glasses correct your vision to nearly 20/20, you are not legally blind. Secondly, just because something is portrayed repeatedly in media does not change the fact that it’s a wildly uniformed stereotype and the number of people here who don’t understand why it’s offensive to assume a blind person wants to feel your face is really disheartening. I think my boyfriend of five years would disagree with you about how much feeling that way disqualifies me from having a relationship though. 🫶🏻
@@legallybadatseeing Again, even most documentaries will mention it, which is why it's an honest question, but you're butt-hurt about someone wanting to be educated. Good luck with your relationship, but if he's a boyfriend still after five years....
@@grondhero Not butt-hurt just not interested. Firstly, documentaries have perpetuated plenty of inaccurate stereotypes through history. While I’ve never seen a blind person feeling faces in a documentary, even if you have, it doesn’t make it factual. Secondly, it wasn’t a sincere question. It was a joke that I didn’t find funny. We had already had conversations about how I could very much see what he looked like. It seems more like you’re butt-hurt that I decided I didn’t like the guy and didn’t want to pursue things with him. Also way to make it clear you have some archaic ass ideas about relationships. Plenty of people don’t want to get married. Clutch your pearls about it. 🙄
You: *Runs into chair leg* Your boyfriend: "WaTcH WhErE YoU'rE GoInG." You: "WELL CARL, IF YOU HAD JUST PUSHED IN THE CHAIR ALL THE WAY LILE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO, I WOULDN'T HAVE BROKE MY TOE, WOULD I?!" 😂
Cyclists who say "look where you're going" after almost running over a pedestrian have a lot of nerve. If you're a cyclist, then you're a vehicle and you must yield to pedestrians and you also should be on the road, if possible.
Tbh if I had a blind gf I would probably pull a lot of dad jokes like I do anyway. To be fair if a blind girl decided that she wanted to be my girlfriend she has seen the dad jokes coming and decided to be fine with it.
Teacher in 8th grade can everyone see the map? Class "yeah" Lone blind kid in classroom "no" teacher: Oh sorry, James I forgot you were here Teacher got some nerve telling kids to pay attention after that one lol
Do you know what out of pocket means? Because forgetting for a second that someone's blind isn't them being out of pocket. It's them being human. Maybe get the fuck over yourself?
I was "almost" boyfriends with a totally blind girl. She LOVED movies, so we'd make the empty matinees and I'd whisper the action to her. Maryanne was MORE than nice. She knew we were her REAL friends when at the cafeteria, we SLOWLY turned the table so her tray was gone! You can only do that to people who's "handicap" means nothing to you. I went off to play 'Nam and sadly lost track of her.
mmmmmmmmm it's a pretty old term though it's in reference to music. Being "in the pocket" is being in the groove, or doing things the way that feels good or whatever "out of pocket" refers to when you're not in the groove and something is goofy or weird essentially. Not sure if these etymologies are linked though, there's several uses for the phrase and sometimes they all exist in a vacuum. I typed all that and looked it up and it actually is a reference to POOL, with "out of pocket" referring to not hitting a ball into the pocket. So there ya go, a 4th meaning for the phrase.
Laying in the sand on a beach with those heavy waves. I love the sounds and feeling and smell and as a seeing person, I get to enjoy the sight too. And farmers markets/art markets. The big ones have tons of different live music and many different delicious smelling food being cooked, many booths allow samples and provide super interesting conversation. I always learn about myself and my community Those events.
Ooooo and a fair or amusement park or water park or picnic in perfect weather or a stand up act, improv show, and silly idea, following a Bob Ross tutorial together, maybe if ones seeing they can go just by the audio as well.
@@Kaykay29-i6d Those are the two I ended up torn between. I wore the first, but I might go back for another day and the second will definitely be my day two fit.
You probably hear/read something like this a lot but I'm still gonna type it: the worst thing about you being blind is you not been able to admire your own beauty.
