  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?

  • oh its to do with dopamine, well that explains why i never got addicted to porn lmao...

    For anybody wondering, my brain neurology is fucked inexplicably for some reason, i can't process emotion correctly, and i generally don't experience them either.

  • i can build concepts in my head, without words or images. And just put them down, ofc i fumble a bit, because i'm not perfect, but i intuitively and innately understand concepts. Just based on my experience with that particular thing, much like an LLM can spit out actual real grammar and words that make actual real sense when you ask it to.

  • (Subtitles in the same language as the audio are maddening, because I can’t not read them, and then have to wait so long for the speech to catch up.)

    actually this, but it goes both ways, spoken voice and written text can go fuck itself, and subtitles on spoken words can go fuck itself. Actual comprehension hell.

  • reading you can sort of mentally supplant. It's really weird, but i'm very immersed into reading, like i comprehend the world building, and the writing, and the characters, and all the interactions, i can feel the environment. I can't see anything, or hear anything, but i know what it looks like (at least i think) and i know what it sounds like.

    Think about it as if it's a dream, and it starts to make more sense, it's just like a conscious dream, spurred by really good story telling.

  • wdym, they're words?

    If you're curious when i consciously think about words, my mouth will move a little as if i'm sort of trying to say words, but otherwise generally i just type words as i need them. I cannot formulate an entire sentence without writing it down first. I often go back and completely rearrange and rewrite things because of this.

    If you think this is weird, imagine how we read. Should be impossible by that definition.

  • it's weird if you're an aphant, because you adapt by just speaking outloud, and internally understanding things, the only real situation where it becomes problematic is when someone tries explaining it to you, because you're on the other side of a cliff, basically.

  • fun fact about dermatology, vitiligo (the one skin disorder where patches lose pigmentation completely) is also stress response induced, because it's an auto immune related disorder.

  • I also shake my towel before using it (IYKYK). I’m trying to break myself on this one.

    i started doing this one after an insect crawled into my towel during a shower and spooked me, unlikely, probably wont happen many times going forward, but it's ingrained now.

    I have holes in my fingertips that turn into ulcers and then get better, but it cycles. I’ve been to the doctor multiple times, they are stumped.

    this ones weird, but you don't have any sort of weird behaviors that would maybe cause this? Skin usually doesn't just break down like that, and when it does, it's usually not just related to a specific point on the body, you would experience in a few places. But weirder shit HAS happened before, so who knows.

  • Outside of lemmy, I have no social media. I don’t want anyone to ever be able to look me up. Apparently people don’t do that.

    i'm similar, for me it's less about recognition, more so about privacy. I'm fairly schizo, so i'm pre-disposed to a lot of weird behaviors regarding that. Just a weird quirk of my neurology i guess.

    Using different cutlery based off of meal size/how long you want to savor something (ex: You like ice cream, so you may eat it with a smaller spoon so it lasts longer.).

    i dont think this is that weird? They make cutlery in various sizes, there has to be a reason.

  • It takes some effort to wrap your head around the notion that not only can most people not do this, but statistically speaking most or at least a plurality of people have to struggle or exert conscious effort to read and many of them are loathe to do so. And roughly one in five people simply can’t. This did not sink in for me when I was younger.

    what do you mean people look at words and don't process them automatically? Is there like, research on this i can read or something? I don't think i believe you.

    I though people were just stupid, and chose not to.

  • Progressive Democrat wonders why nobody questioning Donald Trump’s mental acuity: ‘This is crazy work’

  • hi, liberal here, we've been wondering this same thing since day one.

    Curious why nobody is questioning it in the media.

  • if we're talking gravity physics, the earth, by basically every possible kilogram of mass imaginable to the human mind. But this goes without saying, because you stick to the earth, the earth doesn't stick to you, so.

    Of course technically, the force is applied to both objects, but considering the scale mismatch, one of these things is not like the other.

  • Violence

    Jump

  • the people who say "violence isnt the option" imply that the issue is that violence never fully solves issues, because it doesnt. That's true. It only gives you power, which is a useful tool in asserting control, which is ultimately what leads to solutions.

    The people who are on the other side, are arguing that this is an absolutist statement, and therefore, must literally mean "violence is not the answer" i.e. you should fuck each other until a solution arises. Which is obviously a facetious argument.

    "violence is never the answer" is not a particularly good phrase, but when commonly understand my the broad population, it's not as problematic. Though it is sort of poetically true.

  • Violence

    Jump

  • this is ironically, a fallacious argument.

    The implication here is that violence literally never solves problems. The actual implication is that violence generally doesn't provide a reasonable solution to problems, which everybody would be inclined to agree with, even in the case of military/police conflicts.

    Have a better argument next time :)

  • it's not a sales tax, it's a tax at import, It's sort an inverse of a sales tax though. a "foreign purchase tax" if you will.

    What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

  • And the simplest solution to prevent this, is to simply not vote people who are a threat to your own country, into your own fucking government, nobody seems to understand this.

    Literally all we had to do, was not ask for this. But unfortunately the entire US voting populous has the collective intelligence of a bag of rocks for some reason.

  • you can say this all you want, but this line of thinking is the exact reason why we're where we are today. People like you check out, and start voting for memes, or shitpost value, rather than actually fixing issues, and putting the government in a more respectable position, which leads to people like Lauren Boebert, and MTG being actual real people in the US congress.

    I refuse to respect an institution that fails to acknowledge the sanctity of life, much less fulfills the needs of the people it governs.

    and likewise, that government will fail to respect your wishes for a functional government that does anything at all. It's a tripping point, once you trip, you fall down the mountain, and it's really, and i mean really hard to get back up.

  • the government does not simply "betray us" we betrayed the government, by electing unqualified idiots to the electorate, who then fucked us over, unsurprisingly, because they're stupid.
