It's amazing and a bit annoying how many people comment "if you're blind how can you be using Reddit and technology?"

> How do you explain to a blind person what being blind actually is?
I honestly thought that reply was sarcasm until I realized it wasn’t

I know this might be considered rude, but someone should really ask something like:
Sighted people of reddit. Why do you assume blind people can't use technology?

Debating on actually posting this. Not kidding.

Well if you decide to post it, just don't forget to post it on r/blind, so we can make it grow in popularity. :)

I used to try to give serious answers and correct people, but have mostly given up. That question seems to pop up every other day or so nowadays.
