Unsightly Opinions
Canada
Registrace 22. 11. 2018
Welcome to the Unsightliest place on the internet. If you're wondering what to expect from this channel... Expect the everything. Let’s get the big one out of the way first. I’m blind… also albino… but we can talk about that more later. More importantly, I don’t tend to fit the label of what society and media think a blind person should be, or at least what a blind person is capable of. If I had to describe myself I’d say more of a teacher, musician, water and downhill skier, book nerd, school obsessed, seamstress, fashionista, horse-back rider, world-traveler, lecturer, coach, and advocate. But who can be described in 15 words? There’s so much more underneath all that. I’m inviting you into my life! Follow me around on my insane adventures, successes, and failures…while trusting my life to a four-legged goofball named Patience. Be ready for the good, the bad, and the unsightly!
What Happened to Unsightly Opinions and What's Next?
This video has been a long time in the making. I disappeared in 2023 and all but left CZcams. Let's chat about what happened, what's next for Unsightly Opinions and where I disappeared to. What kept me from production is a long and complicated story. I guess this is our annual year in review video, but with a bit of a twist. I hope you enjoy. Stick to the end because there's an awesome giveaway that you won't want to miss.

What type of albinism do you have?
What type of albinism do you have?
thank you! this video is absolutely fantastic! i'm blind, and i ran into your youtube channel just yesterday when i searched for guide dog commands and found your video with Patience! thank you again!
I'm getting the Orcam read pro 3 next week
Excellent review and appreciate your honesty
i'm so grateful that you found time to record this video! i'm always happy to watch your videos
Another excellent review. And yeah, it got me to back off of the Envision product just yet. Orcam looks excellent but is also needs development (particularly, as you mentioned, as to battery life). Neither are worth the cost yet. Soon perhaps. Right, Seeing AI looks like the way to go for the time being. Thanks again for an honest detailed appraisal.
Excellent review. Thanks. So far leaning toward Envision (for. my blind father). Looking forward to your take on that one. Love your natural hair and brow colors, by the way. Striking.
Informative. ❤
I'm autistic, and although I have good vision, I am extremely sensitive to light and once I got to be in a pitch black place taking a guided tour where everyone got a cane and it was meant to simulate the experience of having 100% vision loss. It was a very relieving experience and I feel like blocking out all light porpesefully when needed is gonna be great for me in the longterm
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wash my dishes just like that and that is the one thing I can do without looking if I had to. I do have a horrible sense of direction though, basically meaning I have none, so I would be lost
You do an amazing job!!! That’s wonderful and you’re very thorough!! Hope to see you at the NOAH conference this July!
Oh, wow, your story is great, and you’re very strong,, I am impressed, I am so sorry for all your bad experience, I am from Ukraine, and I am totally blind, I lost my vision and 25 years old. No, I am in the US, Tennessee, I would love to learn more about you and your Channel and experience!!! I am here already for nine years,, but I cannot find my place in this life. I lost my vision, because of diabetics, since then years old,, when I was 32 years old, I should go in dialysis and Zamm I got Kidney And pancreas transplants. Well, everything that happens, everything through the best, anyway, I believe so. Thank you for your channel and you’re very smart and interesting person. Do you have Patient Facebook? I am sorry for my grammar mistakes!
I am definitely #9, even though I'm not blind. I can see skin tone, possible cultural heritage/nationality just fine, and I'm legit just as confused as you are as to why people place so much stock on these attributes. It's like I was plopped on a world of aliens where skin tone, your gender affiliation, and cultural heritage is not only everything, but people NEED to know so they can discriminate accordingly. And with pleasure. They will hound you, and hound you, and hound you, and hound you until they get their clear answer. Even on the internet, people are starting to mark themselves with color coded emojis, flags, and other forms of "lingo" with the emoji layout, and if you don't in certain circles, you are held with suspicion. I think deep down, some people don't want to be caught dead benefitting someone who they may have some deep, hard-wired, tribal bias towards, in any way. So of course, a screening is necessary. My brain just doesn't compute, and people will honestly treat you like you're slow, naïve, or lying if you're not on this strange dance and uptake.
I just found your channel. Great job at reviewing all the canes. I personally have several canes depending on what I am doing. I have a no job cane for when I’m needing to do some serious travel. I have a slimline cane from I need some thin to just be out of my way, but need something for identification as well such as at work. And also keep a, folding graphite cane around for when I need some kind of in between the two
I finally found the name of this condition, your detailed explanation was a big help in understanding it further, thanks a bunch. I do not have albinism but I have almost the same triggers as you do.
Very useful. My sight is fine, but I'm playing a blind man in a play and want to be authentic. :)
I love your videos. Please explain about lifestyle and jobs who has nystagmus in develpe countries❤
Are You sensitive especially to the red color? I'm not an Albino, but i am sensitive to the red color, so i guess Albino People will be too and even more than i am
With all that’s been taken from you I hope you know your beauty is on a level most women can only dream of #10
I'm on disability but I'm self-employed and work I rent a house to my family and I've been preyed on by men who are healthy who think that they can use my disability as a way to wiggle their way in get a free place to stay moose off of me once I get into my house and once they start dating me they say oh well if you have a house you rent and you must be you know financially well off I'm not well off I'm literally living paycheck to paycheck technically and a little bit of garments and sisters I get is is a sick joke it's not to disabled people like my face for Americans with Disabilities and I require a service dog to help me manage and handle my disability so I can be functional out and about in society and keep it under control and its medical not psychological. However men and women who are normal and not disabled often think that it's an EZ Pass to just claim they want to be in a relationship with somebody that seems disabled feel bad for them but are actually narcissists themselves and then they turn around once they love bomb and they tell you what you want to hear and tell you that they'll treat you right and all this other stuff and that they accept you for who you are and your disability and that could be further from the truth because what they do is they wiggle their way into your life and they want to try to mooch off of you anyway they can they don't want to pay for their own expenses when they're able to actually get their foot into the door of your house or condo wherever they think they can move in and they don't have to pay a single time while living with you and mooching off of you and not having to pay any utility bills and tell you that you should just be grateful that they're in your life when they're doing nothing to help you out their toxic they criticize suddenly you at every turn nothing is ever good enough the whole love and affection and relationship things that are critical in a relationship over your head and say you should just be grateful that they're living with you but it's your place. And this is something I've ran into not once but twice where men had taken advantage of my kindness my wanted to be in a healthy relationship and literally a year in I got to see them for who they were and they had no intention to marry me to be seriously in a relationship with me they were taking advantage of me thinking that I wouldn't throw him out of my house or I would call off the relationship because they didn't care about me and they said well she's disabled we can just take advantage of her and she's not going to say anything or do anything about it because she's disabled and people like that who Prey Upon disabled people are sick twisted individuals I think we're just going to let them do this and continue to abuse and verbally abused and emotionally abused and physically abused us and we're going to put up with it because what we're desperate enough because we're disabled and it's hard enough to find somebody who will accept us for Who We Are wrong. And unfortunately this happened to me twice now I have cptsd because of it on top of my medical chronic condition that I have and I find it very difficult now to even date cuz I get sick to my stomach and I feel like I'm going to be sick because I don't trust men and if they don't have an ulterior motive when they want to go out and meet me and date me and see that I have a service dog I don't trust that they're going to try to take advantage of my disability to try to get things from me that they don't want to get themselves like a place to stay and that everything that we do on a so-called date I would have to pay out because I should be grateful to have them in my company I should be grateful that they're interested supposedly in me when they're clearly not and they're not serious because they're just using me until they can reach out to somebody else anything because disabled people are vulnerable in their mind we're going to put up with it and this is something I and other handlers with disabilities who have a service dog have had to deal with not once but multiple times by healthy individuals and it gives me fear than to get back out in trying to date again cuz I'm going to have to run into the same nonsense again and I can't afford to have PTSD on a date because of the traumatic experiences I went through with two guys pulling the stunts and yeah they were healthy individuals versus me who's not but this is how people pray on disabled people who do you want to be in a healthy relationship get your happy ending and think that we're just going to sit up and put up with it and it's unacceptable and this has to stop inner Society in it in the dating scene towards disabled people it's unacceptable healthy people pulling these sons and not seriously looking to date somebody who's disabled that don't go out with us and waste our time
You are just gorgeous and you provide extremely valuable information.
Thanks
The thing they did about pointing out your differences and vision was horrific! That would never be allowed nowadays.
When she says "forward slash" she is pointing at the backslash key...
Great video. I hate the word crippled but also differently able or something along those lines. Its like we had a super power. But we dont. My disability only took things from me. Its like you said: a cover for this fact that we are not able to bodied.
your hair and outfit are so beautiful!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 i hope everything good for you
I use the No-Jab cane for the reasons you mentioned. I do have a lightweight telescopic cane which I saw on The Blind LIfe (it's the one button telespoing one which I'll use when I am matched with my Guide dog.
Bro, this is incredibly disrespectful and sad, how do airlines even get good reviews meanwhile they also badly damage people’s wheelchairs, that basically doing property damage >:(
The only question becomes how much privacy do you have with this technology because. You may be reading a bill or other financial papers with a lot of important personal information that would allow someone to take on your identity or hack you or bankrupt you or sell your data to marketing data harvesters
Video helpful . I don’t need cane in a place I know either but sometimes I still do even though familiar place cause of lighting etc or possible obstacles. Buy someone saw me not using my cane and a week later my dr told me a story about someone pretending to be blind. I felt it was aimed at me though I have multiple dr reports and scan results about my vision loss
U look beautiful ❤
I get a drug infused nystagmus when I get high on meth and then have incredible sex with my wife. My vision will start rapidly shaking back and forth and I get a double vision. It’s a crazy feeling.
The way you described your grade 1 experience of being publicly shown that your different.. breaks my heart it happened that way.
What microphone you use? And in Final Cut Pro, can I make my videos portrait mode?
Thank you so much it helped me a lot
Wow what a great video! Your tips are super helpful. Thank you, and I look forward to more tips.
My Eyes also Shaking and My Eye sight is Very Low How to i solve?
The average CPM rate here in the Philippines is about $2.50. *cries in poverty* I got the info above from a friend who also creates here on the platform. stay healthy and cheers from a fellow VIP.
HOW DO NLIND PEOPLE RNTER PASSWORDS WHEN THEY CANT BE SPOKEN. NORMALLY I USE THE MICROPHONE FOR EVERYTHING
There’s lots of different ways depending on personal preference. I prefer typing passwords using a keyboard as I have the layout memorized. Often I also use password autofill so I don’t need to type anything in especially on mobile. I’ll also use the braille keyboard on mobile as I find that more reliable than trying to type using the virtual keyboard.
This information is very useful to know about albinos because I have trying to find some good research on them and couldn't find anything concrete thank you for bringing this to my attention I will definitely keep this in mind I think albino women look really beautiful too it's kind of unique to see something like that
You have Instagram?
I love how you explain the echo location for crossing the street and then you cross it when the hand is still red hahaha. Love the video though I was curious how blind people navigate and now I know!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
FROM CROATIA: Thank you for the excellent presentation of the ORCAM Blind Smart Glasses. Could you please provide information about language support? Is there support for the Croatian language?
Hi there! I've pulled this from the orcam website, it looks like it has English, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, French, Hebrew, Danish, Polish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Finnish, Swedish, Czech, Turkish, Hungarian, Russian, Bulgarian, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. I don't see Croatian on the list.
I am a teacher of students with visual impairments and this video is the best breakdown of beginner skills for my students. We have had a hard time just getting started jumping from using NVDA and JAWs to VoiceOver, but the way you presented the content easy and straightforward was so beneficial and time saving! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! I'll have more coming out soon!
I have this off and on. Some days are worse than others. It feels like my pupills are cramping and i need to put on a hat and shades.
That's rough! Eye pain is pretty terrible. I'm glad you are using hat and shades to help cope.
@@UnsightlyOpinions yea. And its pretty scary when i am driving and have forgotten them at home. Then i stop at the nearest possible spot and close my eyes for like half an ohur untill the pain stops
❤❤
