I'm a deaf thirtysomething who's just this side of weird. I dump about whatever here and I'm not sorry.

I used to go to breweries regularly and just read for a bit, was always nice.

And someone on ASL That! confirmed via their mom that it's indeed an older sign. Could have started changing in the 70s or in the 80s, not entirely sure. But yeah that's how a funny story helped me find a bit of linguistic history.

So that's why my poor dad didn't know, because SEE2 chose many of their signs circa late 1970s and the language changed just enough 15 years later to be embarrassing. SEE2 is 80% similar to ASL, so it's kind of a snapshot of 1970s ASL.

Today, I looked up PENIS in the SEE2 book because I didn't remember what it was back then, and it's essentially this: media.spreadthesign.com/video/mp4/10... (1 finger bouncing on top of a flat hand) Which is surprising! You'd think the initialized sign was SEE!

SEE1: And there's November! It's windy and makes your nose cold, so the sign reflects that.
SEE2: Bruh why did you straight up use a slur

Exactly! It took full immersion for me to even be comfortable with ASL. SEE also encourages acting in an ASL-like manner, which I think is hard if you're not already fluent in ASL

Plus SEE1, having been around for roughly a generation before SEE2 emerged, also became the butt of a lot of jokes in the Deaf community. When people talk about how bad Signed English is, they generally mean SEE1.

And SEE1 also came from good intentions, also invented by deaf teachers. It even introduced a few signs to ASL, including PROGRAM. But in the end, it became too convoluted and collapsed.

As a native SEE user, it was fairly easy for me to pick up ASL signs, harder to get the grammar. I feel the people who invented this had good intentions and wanted to overcome a particularly bad manual sign system (SEE1), but it just didn't quite work.

I've been told about adults who still use SEE because they never crossed that bridge. Part of what they missed is that a bridge needs to connect at both ends, and if deaf adults aren't at the other end, then the SEE user is stuck where they are.

It's called The Irritating Gentleman, so yes.

Beginning of this was good, end was also good, middle needs a lot of work.

#24- Mochi Ame Mix, green apple flavor. Mini rice cakes basically, texture almost reminds me of bubble gum.

I remember reading about this a long time ago. It's a disorder that makes your pee look like maple syrup basically.

Interesting, not a word about language deprivation. Taking that "of course all patients' parents will take them in for follow up appointments" thing for granted, I see.

Clark also tested people's auditory nerve to see if they qualified for the surgery. I was told about someone who got a CI despite their auditory nerve not working.

He also called Advanced Bionics tf out for fucking up with their Clarion processor and killing several kids. That processor was first invented in 1996 and they were called out on it 6 years later. No wonder AB's promo materials have so much about quality assurance compared to other companies.

Focus more on the temporal bones to avoid facial nerves? I've heard many stories of deafies having problems with facial nerves post-surgery. Don't have the CI be directly connected through a plug (hole through the skin)? Ineraid did that (and tbf also did not get FDA approval)

Made the sandwich with jalapenos and nah, it's definitely better with the spicy pickles
