I have total Aphantasia. There’s no internal voice, ever. I’ve never pictured anything in my mind. No taste, touch, or smell can evoke a memory or whatever it is other people have. My husband says he battles negative voices from his past? I live in absolute peace.
Incredible
not today, nsa ,👁👄👁
nice try, fbi
Not on your lives, MI5
I’m just bored, talk about what you want.
Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master’s degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.
Hey man. I got 2 young kids too, and it is N O T easy. I’m not SAH: we both work, but I can’t imagine how tough it is to go it alone every day like that.
Keep up the good work
I’ve never had to do a job interview. 5 different jobs, all word of mouth.
I never quite understood emotions until I started hrt at 32.
I am one of a handful of people in the world known to have been diagnosed and treated for a rare sarcoma cancer in an even rarer area of the body, that generally effects only women (I am a man).
It’s a really crappy club. I wouldn’t suggest joining.
Shit.
I’m really sorry, dude. I genuinely hope you get better.
I’m over it. Life goes on. Weird club though.
I used to not cook at all. Then I realized I can’t go on like this and started a challenge: Eat a self cooked meal every single day for a month. It was super challenging but I learned a lot (and initially wasted a lot of food due to bad planning). Now I still cook almost every day.
When you wanna know if a hobby is for you, try doing it every day for a longer time and see if you still enjoy it.
may we get some pointers on what did you start with?
I don’t remember what meals I started with. Nothing too fancy but also not too basic. In Germany we have a cooking app called KptnCook that has very easy instructions with pictures and a shopping cart that’s integrated with major grocery chains to show the exact name and price of products. It was really helpful for the beginning and they have many recipes I still cook today. I’m sure something like that exists in other countries.
In the beginning it’s important to read the recipe first before you even begin to plan it. You might need some utensils that you don’t have or furiously need to search for during the cooking process. Later on when you’re more advanced you will probably have everything (or something similar) on hand. It also helps in the preparation. Sometimes there is a step to add multiple spices at once. You can pre-mix them in a small bowl.
Do the preparation first and have everything ready. American recipes already often list their ingredients pre-cut. But in Germany it will just say 1 onion, 3 tomatoes and so on and then in the recipe it will tell you how to prepare it.
Look up Youtube Videos. It will have techniques and cool recipes. Pick Up Limes, Yeung Man Cooking and The Nard Dog Cooks are my favorite channels.
Lmao. my friend just texted me:
So somehow i managed to supercool like half this box of freeze pops, and now every time i grab one theres a 50% chance its liquid that freezes as soon as i touch it
This is the content I demand
Try it with bottled beer. Websearch “jelly beer”, a few countries do it but I mostly know it from Thailand.
I thought I only had some ADHD, MFW filling out the psychiatrist’s questionnaire and I’m marking everything on the inattentive section as “almost always”
I got synaesthesia, and Track_Shovel is a red and yellow name.
That’s super cool! What colour is your name
Mothra is kinda brownish-mauve, but my irl name is orange
What colour is my name?
Pale orange
Im the person who’s been “chosen by the people” to do “IT stuff”. Family, friends, teachers, and neighbours reach out to me for the simplest tasks. Stuff they could probably figure out on their own, but insist I do for them.
I’m a nightmare for my school administrators, as I know my way around every blocking and monitoring thing they’ve set up on the school equipment.
I’ve also caused headaches for the entire city wide school system, as I got cloudflare to (unintentionally) block traffic from our ip address, and since all traffic is funnleded trough a VPN to a central gateway (all schools in said city use the vpn) ,meaning I blocked 66k kids from using the internet for 15m. ( I didn’t get in trouble :3)
I once intentionally starved myself till the point of a huge headache as a personal experiment
Did a 30 day fast years ago, definitely need to look up medical information beforehand though. There’s some nutrients your body needs to function but it’s a short list which you can take with water (stuff that helps your neurons, etc). Was truly a different experience, would probably do it again if I had the time available.
Not as much of a metal head as I used to be, but these recent albums made me feel some of the magic of it again:
- Civerous - Maze Envy
- Anti-God Hand - Blight Year
Have you listened to any Brothers of Metal?
Nope. That’s a new name to me. Where should I start?
2 albums, so start with the first one, named Brothers of Metal. Emblas Saga picks up from there.
They’re very fun Norse themed songs.
They recently toured with gloryhammer and beast in black… And I wish I’d seen it live :-D
I have a bachelors of science dual majored in microbiology and chemistry with a masters in education and I work in IT.
My 2nd and 3rd toes are webbed up to the first “knuckle” on both feet
