Fully blind (he/him) in my mid 20s from The southwest US, but grew up in the Pacific North West, Including Canada. Likes: sound design, audio games, audio dramas, firearms (it’s complicated), and weird bits of history. Politically independent. Empathetic but somewhat cynical skeptic.
If possible, someone should really add a link to the new community to the blindsurveys subreddit message. Otherwise it’s going to just be word of mouth, which is slow especially given the fact that many studies have gone back to in person now.
People are going to ask their (often stupid AF) questions anyway, so we may as well have some control over the conversation rather than leaving it to the usually equally uninformed masses. Some of us are patient enough to keep answering the same ones again and again. You could maybe put a stickied post up at the top with generalized answers to the most common ones though at least… With a rule about checking that post first before asking the same type of question unless you have something new to add. I.E how do you know when to stop wiping, what do you see in dreams, how can you answer comments, what was taking Hallucinogens like, do you see black, how do you have sex, all the low effort/overly asked ones.
Weird, it works okay for me… Are you making sure to select the same language you originally posted in first?
I wouldn’t use them outside if you can help it, especially off of smooth concrete. I also wouldn’t use them if you already know you’re kind of rough on canes or you tend to hit things hard with them compared to others. They really are nice other than that though, despite being heavier and rattlier than the straight ones. There just aren’t allot of good options in the thin and light folding cane market unfortunately, and IMO none of them are durable, at least not the ones available in the U.S and Canada.
I suppose that makes sense, given the deadlines. I just hope it works out and that the accusations about the arbitrary issue closing and dismissal of problems turns out to be false.
Yeah it’s true, it actually did work in the first couple of free versions though, so at the time the instructions worked.
