Just because people are unaware with how to accomodate deaf people, doesn’t mean they’re jerks

Having recently diversified my 401k, I’m looking at this correction with some satisfaction. Previously, I had about 40% of my 401k in my company stock, and 60% in one mutual fund. Now it’s spread over about a dozen investments.

Maybe. Perhaps I was focusing on the word “prayer”. If they used the word “hope” instead, then maybe I wouldn’t have had such a reaction.

Did anybody else read the first part of this article as, well, obnoxious? Look, I can empathize how frustrating it must be to have a disability that other people don’t notice and ignore.. but it seemed as if the writer was assuming everybody else was intentionally acting like jerks towards deaf people. I like the…

Sooooo, pray for something more vague, so it’s easier to fool yourself into believing that your prayer was answered.

Meh. I never much got into comics. It seemed a waste to spend that money on something I could read in 5 minutes. I’d rather buy a actual book that took a couple hours, for not much more money.

The problem with the toaster oven is that I can’t cook and eat on the same plate. I have to either dirty the baking sheet, or haul out the roll of foil and cover it. and it still takes longer. Plate - food - microwave - BAM! - ready to eat in 30 seconds.

This only works if you use a lot of butter. In our family, a stick of butter can last for months. If we didn’t keep it in the fridge it would go rancid.

Which is 4 minutes and 30 seconds too long.

Not everyone has a library close by. I think these are mostly intended to promote reading by being convenient. If a kid can walk down the street and borrow a book, they are more likely to do it rather than get their parents to drive them to the library. Or even visit the school library during be a busy school day.

I don’t think most people can taste the difference. All beer pretty much tastes the same to me, just with differing levels of bitterness and maybe some added flavors in different seasons (pumpkin spice, cranberry, etc). For that reason, I prefer it I’ve cold.

I always, always need to tear up napkins and stuff them in my ears at the movies

We use the same software that H&R Block does, so our appointment goes like that also. But there’s always something every year that we have questions about, and H&R Block and guarantees that the return is accurate, so we use them anyway. One year the IRS told us there was a mistake on our return and we owed them money.…

You must have very simple finances.
