Blind people must save a lot on electricity.

They do actually!

I had a blind professor, last semester, and I swung through his office to make up an exam. It was a while before I knew he was in there because he was sitting with the lights off. I finally went in, apologized, and took the exam by the light of a nearby window (which was fine). Forty-five minutes into dead silence he panicked and yelled in this booming voiced, “WAIT, YOU CAN SEE!!!” before diving across his desk to turn on the lights. I’m sure he was embarrassed but I thought it was endearing and it highlighted a large aspect of disabled life that I hadn’t previously considered.

Wow

That last story fucked me up

…that’s even possible at all? Because in general deaf people have deaf accents (you will know what it sounds like, I promise) due to not being able to correctly pronounce words

It is possible, yes. I've been in the interesting situation of being impaired but taking classes with people who were much more severely deaf. The accent pickup is largely a function of how much the person has trained to speak, and usually will mimic regional accents. The deaf accent is honestly somewhat of a stereotype that only has truth with people who are almost exclusively signing.

Throwback to the time where I tried to filter “***” to “ass” to annoy a specific member of our forum but since * is a variable operator I just filtered every single word on the forum to “ass” and all posts became immediately unreadable
