Oh man, the variance you can get on French toast. Sometimes it's heavenly and sometimes it's just so soggy and chewy and tastes like scrambled eggs.

Pancakes are the most consistent, as you said, but even the best pancakes can't beat the average waffle imho.

Elite dangerous is tragic. If they had half the budget Star Citizen has it could be an amazing game, but instead they're forced to practically abandon development for years at a time in order to focus on games that bring in a profit.

Still, if you have a VR headset, a HOTAS, and enough patience to learn how to fly, it's an unmatched experience.

Hm, interesting.

I can also have images when trying to figure certain things. For example, if I'm moving then I will have images of where to place boxes and furniture in the truck or in the apartment, but these images are typically combined with words like "if I put this here, then..." Or if I'm trying to remember where I put something then it's memory combined with "after I got home I..."

In fact, the easier a problem is, the fewer words I use. But when something is really stumping me, the words are more prevalent. And angrier. More like "This doesn't make sense! If the positive and negative are both connected then power should flow through. Maybe this f*cking thing is broken"

My experience is the same as yours. I have an inner monologue, but it is not constant. My thoughts do not always come in the form of words.

In fact, I would say that wordless thoughts are my default and the IM comes when I am trying to figure something out.

My attic is a dark, cramped space with no windows and a ton of insulation. What kind of attic do you have where someone living up there can see and hear everything that happens in the main living space?

Or rather, what have you done to think that someone with a complete dossier on you has resorted to occupying your attic in order to get the jump on you?

These days if you find someone living in your attic then it's most likely a drifter looking for shelter. Better to find a man down on his luck than a large colony of pests.

It sounds like your situation is similar to mine. My father is a sociopathic narcissist and I didn't realize it until I was 30 when he effectively disowned me. It hurts to be rejected by a parent to such a degree and I was pretty depressed for a while, but it helps to know that he suffers from a mental illness. Knowing this also helped me to disown him, in turn. He was always toxic and harmful and I find now that I am happier without him in my life.

I do often wonder in what ways my life may have been better had I had a supportive father, but it's much more productive to look forward than to lament over what could have been.

I hope that you are able to move past your father's negative influence and be better off for it. Some men are just miserable people.

This would be a good experiment for Myth busters. I'd imagine that with the lid closed the increase in pressure would not be significant and the air particles would be accelerated more horizontally as opposed to vertically. This would, theoretically, cause them to accumulate more on surfaces below countertop level than above.

But I have no data to support this hypothesis.

If a Peter Molyneux's Black&White-style lion god descended from the heavens and demanded human sacrifices, I think Trump would be perfect for that job

So our choices in America are between conservative and slightly-less-conservative? So there's a growing demand for a socialist party that doesn't exist, but if it did exist it would lead to the domination of conservatives in politics?

Sounds like ranked choice voting would really help out with a lot of the issues that you presented. It's too bad that the people who make our laws were voted in using the old system and changing that system in any way is a conflict of interest for them.

I guess things will only ever change if we force the issue.
