I have aphantasia. The reason this experiment works is because someone with aphantasia will logically think about what they’re being asked, but since they’re not really “picturing” it, they won’t have any answers about details. Color, type, and size of the ball? I have no idea, that information wasn’t relevant to my mental checklist. For me, it really does work like a checklist. My brain supplies exactly zero imagery. For some people it’s more like a spectrum, where they might be able to have a hazy picture with minimal details.

But aphantasia is 100% real. It’s just hard for people to believe it because it’s so foreign to the way they’re used to thinking, in the same way it sounds unbelievably exhausting to me that regular people are constantly creating movies in their heads.

They never said cis, did they? Could be a transman.

A first date was already not going well, and I said I needed to go. He decided that wasn’t happening. Ended up having to run away from him, literally, through a park area while wearing heels to reach my car. It was daytime and many people saw what was happening, but no one did a thing to help. But I’m sure if it hadn’t been daytime, he wouldn’t have “let me” get away after catching me. There were just too many eyes on him.

I wore comfortable shoes I can run in to all first dates after that.

What is a Sambo?

Canada doesn’t accept just anyone for no reason.

Another good rule of thumb is to assume that if she was working, it was just customer service and she’s not actually into you.

Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.

Breakfast on a pear?

If you live in Canada, absolutely do not do this. It can affect how much severance you’re entitled to.

Yes. I’ve never played the game but I loved the show.

Sound it out

They don’t need to lighten the load when you can’t contact any real people to ask questions anyway. It’s all handled by their useless chat bot now.

It’s happened in education and the inverse happened in computing.

Journey is one of my favorite games of all time purely because of how it made me feel. It was so hopeful and positive. And it made me feel connected to a complete stranger. I’m still impressed at how the communication is limited in a way that makes people bring out only the best in themselves. It’s beautiful.

You can have municipal regulations and be free to decide what to do with your own property aside from that. Most of the world does it and things work just fine, with the added benefit of no HOA troubles.

I was an only child and I just wanted someone cool to play with me who I could look up to. Also all my older cousins picked on me and I wanted defence lol

I wanted an older sibling as a child and I remember trying to convince my parents they should have another baby. In my mind, if I just waited (my age +1) years, I’d then have an older sibling. It never ocurred to me that I would also age during that time…

e. e. cummings did this for me with poetry. True masters of their craft know exactly the right ways to break the rules.

I hadn’t even considered that. I usually wet it first. I’ll try not doing that and see if i have a better experience.

Toothpaste that foams too much. Which is most toothpaste.
