Youtube discrimation against Deaf Youtubers

...See more So I had a Youtube channel for 13 years now (2011-present). Up until this fall I had it on private but I wanted to make a long video of my Planet Coaster 1 theme park (back then there was only one Planet Coaster but now there's two) -which had three lands- Waltville (Fantasy/Magic Kingdom) Roys' Claim (Western) and Lillian's land (No theme)- but I couldn't have all of them in one video, due to the fact I only have "Standard Eligibility feature" which limits me to only 15 mins videos. I'm Deaf in one ear and Hard of Hearing in the other. That's where the problem is If I want to make longer videos aka "Immediate Eligibility " level of videos I need either a)to have a smart phone/cell phone with SMS to get a verification number or b)I can have a phone call. There's 0 options for email to be an option the excuse most people use is "because of Spam bots". Because there's no option for email it's basically discrimination against Deaf Youtubers who might want to make longer videos. I certainly do NOT want to have to use my parents' home phone number to get this one-time call. I have tried everything already-I tried "Free" SMS websites and none of them worked for me. Either the number's already been use, or nothing showed up or "Please use an actual number". Google Voice isn't avaible in Canada unless I had a "business account" I tried contacting Youtube but they just told me to tell feedback. So as a last resort today I tagged on Twitter (I am not calling it X) some disabled Content Creators on Youtube, and in 2 hours after I tagged them on Twitter I got 5 replies for people who could help me. So we will see how that works for me.

Thursday

Drinking Pop as form of Self-Care but Dad wouldn't be Happy about that?

Relationship Stress / by Disneywoman

December 12th

...See more Background: So because I'm having a kind of *** week. For instance for over a week for 6 days, I have to make my own supper. Last Thursday, Last Friday, Sunday Dec 8th, Monday Dec 9th. tonight (Dec 11th) and the last one-person supper is Tomorrow, Thursday Dec 12th. So any wonder I'm running out of supper meals and side-dishes? Another thing this week is I'm not able to sleep in until Saturday Dec 14th. On Monday i had to set my own alarm because Mom was going to a pot-luck, and Dad had a doctor's appointment so without the alarm going on -I wouldn't have woken up unless I woke up on my own, because no one was going to be in the house until afternoon. On Sunday my Friend Grace called the house and wanted mom to change her hair appointment from next Wed (Dec 18th) to Tuesday Dec 10th (yesterday). So that means since neither Mom and I can drive, it meant Mom and I had to be leaving the house at 11:45am which is when I'm normally making my own lunch by then. And after getting Grace back to her house I'm sitting on my behind being bored out of my mind watching CP24 on Grace's TV. The only thing I I did was put garbage in the Garbage and hand Mom the Candy Canes to put on the Evelopes for the Christmas Cards Mom was doing for Grace. So Mom and I didn't leave Grace's again until 3:30pm. So we stopped at Little Caesar in our town and called Dad to pick us up and we ordered Pizza at LC. I went home and found out Dad hadn't been his "helpful" self and empty the diswasher for me and all I wanted to do after supper was get too my computer which I hadn't been at since 10:55am yesterday. I also didn't have any of my 2 "big drinks" until after 5pm last night. So I'm was kind of grumpy about everything and I couldn't go to a store (Doller Store near Grace's hair dress OR the grocery store near Grace's home) to get Pop/soda/Cola Today (Dec 11th) I had to go to my volunteer job at my church so that's another day I'm not sleeping in. Heck I even got up early (8:00am instead of 8:15am) and I left early (8:35am instead of 8:45am) and good thing too since a Montessori School was going to be rehearsing around the time I was normally done-something I didn't know when I got there. Tomorrow Mom and I have dentist appointments at 1pm so we have to be leaving at 12:30pm I guess so I have to hurry eat my lunch tomorrow. Friday Mom and I are going out to Toronto to do "Stuff" aka it's an Adventure or as we call it, thanks to the play The Matchmaker a "Pudding". So I have 0 ideas of what to expect. Jumping into what I want to say. Because I'm having a bad week- I brought a bottle of Cola at the drug store (I was in there anyway to reload my Transit Card). But here's the problem -My Dad has a habit of being a bit overbearing in what I or my sister (Luna) drinks or doesn't drink. My sister's a major fan of Diet Pepsi and the one time she didn't have diet Pepsi but got some kind of drink I think was called "Fresh" and Dad still considered that to be "pop" and last time I 'drank an entire small bottle" of pop - Dad would have rather I had half off it for lunch and half of it later. I'm 34 year woman -i'm allowed to make my own choices about how much pop I drink. I only brought this pop today due to the fact I need to take the pain away of my busy and annoying week. Also in a sense I'm trying to do a sort of "catch-up" on pop with my drinking Pop on days that's not Fridays that I didn't get to do as a Teenager due to the lack of money (it was all in the bank). My Thoughts: I think of two evils-Pop vs. other addictions (Smoking-Weed or non-weed, drugs, or booze) that Pop is the least evil for me to use as a coping method -sure it's not healthy but it's not as dagerous as the other. So I think I deserve at least this self-care for myself since I can't go get fast-food meal this month due to other reasons?

Runnning out of supper ideas BC Mom's not cooking

Relationship Stress / by Disneywoman

December 13th

...See more I'm completely running out of complete supper ideas because Mom isn't cooking for various reasons. So since last week: Thursday (Mom's at choir most Thursdays) homemade Mac and cheese (I alterative between this and Ramyeon on Thursdays) + Cut up Veggies Friday (Mom was at Christmas Dinner party)- Western Egg sandwhich + Casear Salad This Week: Sunday (Mom's too full from her lunch)-Mircowave Chilli+ Cut up Veggies Monday (tonight- Mom's too full from lunch): Mircowave Soup-? Wednesday (Mom's out caroling) : don't know (another microwave chilli using the remains of what I have from last night?) +cut up veggies/Caesar salad Thursday (choir practice): Ramyeon aka Ramen (no side veggies required) * I'm running out of supper ideas for this week due to Mom's not cooking this week and I have only TV dinner left in my options after tonight without screwing up next Thursday's supper (Mac and Cheese). Normally when I'm this low on running out of options- I would go get Fast food but that's not allowed for 1. Person reasons I will get to in a second and 2. Mom and I are going "out" on Friday into Toronto on some kind of "adventure" The other reason I can't go "get fast-food" this week is basically "I had too many meals out last month" : 2 Meals from Wendy's, 1. Meal from Mr. Sub (Canadian Chain similar to Subway) and 1. Meal from Taco Bell. So when I have so many meals like that I try not to go out to Fast food the following month. It's not just the main courses I have trouble with thinking up but due to Mom's teaching me unless I'm making Ramyeon, I have to have *some* kind of side dish. I had cut up veggies- Thursday, and Yesterday, and I will have Cut-up Veggies again on Wednesday so what else am I suppose to make? I had Caesar salad on Friday. So I don't have much choices left except a)cut up veggies again, or b)a tossed salad. I would still need to cut up veggies if I got fast-food but I wouldn't need to figure out an entire meal plan when Mom's suppose to be cooking in the first place. Why did she even bother making a ** Meal plan when she knew she would be "too full" on Sunday and Monday due to events? I wouldn't be having her food until Saturday due to the events that happened will happen (I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow except Mom and I are helping my elderly friend to her hair place) and Mom and I are going into Toronto on Friday. I think the other problem with having to make my own supper for this week and a half (2 days last week) is that at times (mac and cheese, or last night's Microwave chili) I have to use the microwave to either pre-cook veggies or cook the actual main course and at the same time I'm making my supper, Dad's also making his supper and he's has an addiction it seems to the toaster oven so it means when I go and need the microwave I have to turn it off, and remember it's being at "14mins" or whatever. Not only that but to prevent a fire in the Toaster oven Dad places some of the stuff that's on (egg shells or lids containers) on top of the microwave so that makes it really difficult for me to get any of the microwave covers and because of Dad hurrying me along last night I forgot to put the cover on the bowl in the microwave last night. It's just lucky there wasn't any kind of explosion in the microwave due to a cover not being on. *The only other option besides making my own supper is having Dad food but I got sick and tired of Dad food a long time ago between his "mistakes" -I mean he burned Chinese leftovers once! and others between 2013-2020 and the fact he got suppers ready way too early in August 2022 when it was just 2 of us for supper. So any wonder why I'm running out of ideas for both main courses *and* side dishes because Mom's not cooking most of this week?

People think it's Weird/bad to have arranged marriages in a life-sim game

Hobby Zone / by Disneywoman

1 day ago

...See more I support a Canadian Work-in-Progress life sim game called Paralives Life-sims are suppose to represent life in some cultures in the world today that these cultures include arranged marriages. Now and then someone (me of others) brings up the topic of Arranged marriages as a possiblity in the game. But people think it's a "forced marriage" "child marriage"., etc. In other words it's bad or icky or weird. Just like in those cultures they think that love marriage is weird I mean when people bring it up, we only talking about families arranging the match and the people suggesting it also allow the option for the betrothed parities to not have to go through with the arranged marriage if they don't wish it. Since in some cultures, brides and grooms get to say "no" to suitors/marriage But the people who hate the idea are still fine with the options of blind dates and dating apps which to be honest is one step away from your family arranging your a match to marry. How is one fine and the other isn't? It's not like we're saying the marriage has to happen. There's an arranged marriage mod for the Sims 4 game. With that mod that adults in one house hold can arrange marriages for child or teen sims to someone in the other house old. Children sims can only be betrothed to children sims, but Teens can be betrothed to Teen and up. But in both cases the child or teen sim can NOT get married until the children or teen turn into Young Adult sims. Also with the Teen sim they have the option of "Refusing to Marry (name of other sim)." There's people who think in life-sims games we already "arranged marriage" the sims because we, the player, put Character C with Caracter F let's say. But in a game like Sims 4 you have to cheat the levels up to full for Character C to Propose to Character F and then you get them married and then you have to then cheat the romantic level and put it down to 0% to make it look like their no love. It's a pain having to do it. The point is that it would be an option the people who don't want it wouldn't have to play with it. Its like why there's going to be breastfeeding and bottle feeding in Paralives. Or at some point down the road, there a 70% of disabilities being an option-but people who don't want to play with those options wouldn't be forced too. But when the topic gets heated the mods ask us to change the topic. But yet they allow other topics like breastfeeding, which some people think is "weird", "icky" or bad, or even disabilities as "bad", so if we can talk about breastfeeding and disabilities as options we should be allowed to talk about the option of arranged marriage in Paralives as an option as I said before they will allow for dating apps, and blind dates which in my opinion is just one step away from an arranged marriage.
