falling on deaf ears.
bob's comment is literally ripped from rush limbaugh,hugh hewitt and sean hannity.

they are his heroes.
you are not.

because we all know right wing demagogues not only use "alternative facts" but also reside in an "alternate reality".

The reason this seems to work for most people is because they identify the tone/pitch of the notes relative from each other, thus making this very false rendition of this song suddenly 'click' and sound alright.

So my guess is that having great difficulty hearing the melody doesn't mean you're tone deaf. I think it means you're better than the average person at discerning the notes' pitch absolutely. The pinnacle of this phenomenon is called 'Perfect Pitch', which is quite rare. But we might have something close to it.

Hm, it didn't work on me until the very end of the tune, and I know I'm not tone deaf.
Not sure what that means

Dude, there are a lot of ways I could explain it. I don't know which to choose because I'm worried the answer might fall on deaf ears.
I mean, what kind of a person asks someone questions they LITERALLY CANNOT ANSWER? An ass! Asses are generally bigots who do bigot things like travel to another country and expect people to understand their english eeessspeeeciaallllyyy if theeeyyyy sspeeeaaaak reeeaaallllyyyy sssslllooowwwllllyyyyyy.
It kills me when I see people exercise literal zero empathy.
This is funny though.

In that video, Milo helpfully defines pedophilia, AND YOU STILL GOT IT WRONG. Stop lying, please.

Now to what he was actually talking about: criminal law has to have a stark, black and white line to define an age of consent. I don't see what's wrong with arguing that line is imperfect and some younger people are capable of giving it. I wouldn't go so far as saying that would justify breaking the law. But morally, there is no difference between screwing a minor a day before they turn 18 and the day after. In reality it might very well be completely legal in the next state over.

He is an idiot for even touching this third-rail topic and his jokes about the Father are tone-deaf but maybe that has to do with his British upbringing.

And there are plenty of white people stuck in terrible situations who don't take the "bus."

There is a concept out there in pedagogy land about the importance of "grit." A teacher noticed who made it out -- those who had grit.

So there has been some movement to teach kids to have "grit."

Turns out it isn't that easy.

Full disclosure -- I do NOT have "grit." I get knocked down, I stay down. I am leveled by some of the smallest events.

I DO have tremendous luck. Born with good health, good brains, an addiction to food and not to something that wipes out my brain like some drugs, Depression-era parents who were frugal and determined that their children would not suffer what they suffered, easy access to college in the early 70s when tuition and rents weren't hugely expensive.

I wouldn't be sitting in relative ease right now if I hadn't had that string of luck. Because had I had to climb over serious obstacles, I am 99% sure I would not have done it. No grit, you see. Just luck.

Frosts my beehind that this racist tool who criticizes social justice advocates with that first clip of Freeman saying "stop talking about race" don't have the intellectual and emotional intelligence to understand what he is saying. It is clear as a bell -- but this tool is tone deaf. As is the sifter who posted this (I say that with clarity, based on years of reading his posts before I started ignoring him as a lost cause.)

When I saw the thumb nail my honest reaction was "Huh, I would never have guessed Summer Glau was deaf."

By the way - does anybody here have familiarity with / appreciation for / a part in Deaf culture? I have to admit, for all my rampant political correctness, this is a phenomenon I have a bit of a hard time embracing.

Deaf and Hard sounds like a DJ duo.

Also, deaf people apparently have a very different definition of what a 'witty response' is.

About 7,800 Hz with my bone conduction hearing aid. I was born mostylu deaf.

Neither really applies here. The motorcyclist simply couldn't have heard / seen the ambulance in time. When you have a full face helmet on, your sound intake is muted. Not silent, but with the ears being covered and wind around you.. it's basically like being deaf to anything not in your immediate vicinity.

This is the EXACT reason that almost all emergency vehicles (at least locally) even with lights and siren blaring will slow right down at an intersection to make sure they aren't going to get clobbered.
