To be clear: this is not a jab at weight, what I'm baffled by is why tf would anyone in a wheelchair use a walking stick like that?

To be clear: I know why the dude has the cane, what im asking about/pointing out is the absurdity of the way he uses the cane in this specific clip, not speculation on the way he uses it in his general life. Just for those in the comments who mistakenly think I’m asking why the dude had the stick in the first place, when I’m asking about the way in which he uses it in this clip. Thank you.

I think it's for when he has to stand. Looks like an airport maybe?

Its a pawn shop

Getting pretty tired of saying this, but: I know why he has it, I’m pointing out the absurdity of using the stick as if he is walking whilst using an electric wheelchair in this GIF — not when he goes to the airport, not when he’s at home, etc. purely the behaviour in the GIF. How are so many people missing the point here?

Maybe it's the title you chose

I did think that tbf. Then again, this is shitposts. Perhaps it’s the wrong community?

[-] gnufuu@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

The wrong community for getting awfully serious and defensive? You might be on to something.

I really don’t think I’m getting ‘awfully defensive’ (I’m certainly trying not to anyway) merely trying to point out that some people are missing the point (in fairness, I do think you have a point about the title)

[-] gnufuu@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Is this you trying not to be awfully serious and defensive right now?

[-] ReconciliationTime22128@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well I’m not trying to defend anything, I’m just saying people are misreading the question. I’m not defending that, I’m not trying to justify it in any way, merely pointing out a slight error. I don’t think I’ve been particularly rude or abrasive? If I have, that was not my intention.

How? Explain what it is you think I’m defending?

[-] gnufuu@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

What an awfully serious question to ask after being defensive about not being defensive

[-] ReconciliationTime22128@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I haven’t been defensive. And I’m certainly not going to engage with the trolls any further

[-] gnufuu@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

There's a certain irony in insisting that you haven't been defensive. Thanks for the laugh.

If you hold it cross ways in your lap it can hit things as you go past. You can lean it on your shoulder or have some fun with it.
