Imagine being so egotistical as to think you know what EVERY blind person in the world wants.
Hey Tukkker, did it ever occur to you that your blind friends (who live in Canada) don't complain to you because they know you're a selfish asshole who doesn't give a rat's ass what they think?
In Australia, years ago, when we rented a car they'd put a huge OVERSEAS DRIVER sticker on the back window to warn folks the driver was not used to left side driver.We called the SPOT THE LOONEY sign.
In his case it would help if they were hearing impaired as well. And maybe had no sense of smell. (Full disclosure: I have an impaired sense of smell and it is great. I can smell most good things; bread baking, cookies, etc., but I literally cannot smell poop. Changing diapers and cleaning up after the dog mean nothing to me. I also can't smell certain chemical odors, which in my job is a hazard, but I usually have someone I can take with me to investigate odor complaints.)
I have great hearing. Right now I'm hearing a constant ring that no one else is even aware of! I keep closed captioning on all the time because my TV, along with everyone in my family and all the people in the restaurant we went to last weekend mumble.
Hi, I'm Mattie. I'm visually impaired. (According to the State of Louisiana, I am in fact legally blind.) I can see well enough to navigate, to operate a mobile phone and computer (albeit at close distance), and other things. I can even get around without bumping into walls, which surprises the crap out of too many people.
Tucker doesn't know any visually-impaired people. He knows a few guys who need reading glasses, maybe, but he doesn't know anyone like me or anyone worse off than me.
I support attempts at inclusion. They are mostly well-intentioned and help people get along. So Tucker and anyone else bitching or laughing about this can go get bent.
It must blow his tiny mind that Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, despite being blind, exist in the world as Black men with everything that entails. Mr. Charles was banned from playing in the state of Georgia, for Pete's sake. Then again, Tucker has probably noticed that soul music leads to dancing and is therefore firmly agin' it.
I was legally blind without corrective lenses in fifth grade. I've since had surgery, but have regressed as I've aged. Even with corrective lenses, a lot of my life is blobs.
Tucker can fuck himself five times over. The descriptions might help me to identify your blobbiness if we meet in person without corrective lenses. It might also help me to better understand you as a person.
TL;DR: I hate this awful fish-garbage socialite intensely. Must be amazing to have literally every advantage in the world.
First, they're fictional podcasts where the fact that they're recorded on former Native American lands has *zero* to do with the stories. Second, it comes across as "this land used to belong to the Native Americans, but *we're* using it now, and if you're listening to us you're ok with it". Like I said, I understand what they're trying for, but it's having a negative effect on me.
Blind people who don't complain. Sounds like every fascist's dream citizenry, e.g., all the Germans who didn't know about the concentration camps down the street and, if they did, kept their mouths shut.
I'm confused. Do Tuckums and the other assholes work for Microsoft? No! Then STFU.

Good. Canada has enough of a problem with their own ignorant right-wing assholes. They don't need to start importing them from the US.

He'd just whine the whole way, and probably barf on the seat.

DOS: Looks up, coughs wetly and then goes back to mumbling to itself.
Oh, look Tucker now has "Blind" friends along with "Black" and "Jewish" friends as well.you wouldn't know them -- they live in Canada
You know who else didn't like handicapped people....

Worse, Tucker probably does know blind people, but empathy isn't part of his calculus
