Two boomers ranting about nothing

[Not bad]

Quick Google:

In the U.S., we rarely see the news interpreted into ASL, so I’m guessing that you’re seeing this in some other country — possibly the U.K. But there are a lot of good reasons why you see interpreters rather than captioning.

1. The captions are probably there, but they’re closed captions, so you have the option to turn them on or off as desired.
2. Captions are not always accurate. You will often see phonetic transcription errors, signal garbling, changes in the rate of speed in caption scrolling, and a number of other issues, all of which can hinder comprehension of what was said.
3. In the news, live, unscripted commentary often goes uncaptioned because they caption the main portion ahead of time. And this of course, leaves us wondering what was said and without access to the additional details that were provided in this section.
4. Many Deaf are, unfortunately, not fluent in the majority Hearing language, and may not understand the captions, or misunderstand the content due to linguistic conflicts and comprehension issues.
5. Captions cannot provide tone or emotional information— Interpreters can do this. Also, interpreters can keep up with the spoken commentary much better than captions sometimes. For many Deaf, they would prefer to see interpreted information rather than through captions because after all, it is our primary, if not native language, and I’m sure you’d prefer to get your news information in the language you use everyday rather than your second language, which you might not be entirely fluent in.

I clicked this expecting it to be Nana/NickDip, but Nana/Gavin is basically the same thing.

Boomer white men bitching about niggers as if whatever particular incident they are outraged with that day impacts them at all

Deaf people suck. They’re a psycho cult and the ADA shouldn’t apply to them

The fact that 98% of us knew this would be a Nana & Gavin clip without having to click on the thread says a lot. Nice crumbling "empire", stupids.

Gavin is so fawkin bitter. Nana for all his faults, isn't bitter.

The repressed homosexuality when these two queers get together is just off the charts.

Here they only have signed shows at like 2am showing repeated stuff for deaf people to record or if the news is on the main channel the news channel will be showing the same show but with the signer on screen. It's very much a non issue. Occasionally you'll see one at a press conference but not often

I always thought Gavin was a Gen X goober.

I always thought Gavin was a Gen X goober.

Gavin is 51, born in '70
He's absolutely Gen X, but he's playing a Boomer character
