That's when you are supposed to use Mr_Mofu's technique!

A LOT to unpack here:

A. The U.S. government is broke!? That is one of the dumbest takes I've seen in a while. Makes it difficult to take any other part of your post seriously.

Currently run by fascist morons that my fellow fascist citizens elected, yes. Broke, not fucking remotely true.

B. No one takes it seriously that he is going to somehow magically take over Canada. He says that shit because he is either so stupid, he actually believes he can, or is just saying it to get under Canadian's skin. (Probably both).

C. "Canada's strategically advantageous geographical location.". What strategic importance does Canada's location have? We already have Alaska. Is there some secret shipping lanes, or laser polar bears we don't know about?

Resources? Your shale sands oil sucks and has to be piped to the US anyway, to be processed.

You have a lot of wood I guess? We have a TON of resources here, it's just been cheaper to mine elsewhere because environmental law, makes it pretty expensive to exploit. He's in the process of gutting those.

Canada just needs to keep doing what it is doing and tell us to fuck off. (Kind of like what we both do to our indigenous populations.)

He'll eventually drive our economy into the dirt, and fuck over the dumbass blue color voters (that he supposedly champions), and maybe, just maybe, the Democrats will get behind a true progressive instead of a Susan Collins, Hillary Clinton type cunt.

I was going to say, I always had my e-brake on when I parked my car and so I always started the car with it on.

Does he mean slowly let off the clutch while releasing the e-brake? Does he put on his e-brake if he stops on a hill, in traffic too!

How can I have made a straw man argument when I didn't even make an argument!?

Jesus that's a helluva straw man you got there.

Am I the only one asking how they know they will live into their seventies if the drug was just approved in 2019?

If you voted for Trump three times, then you are the rotten fruit.

I'm not really seeing any effects yet and our government is still at it.

So keep at it.

Don't stop until all communication stops and you just see smoke coming from our direction.

Why are groups like this so rare?

Not just neanderthals, quite a few of our neighboring species.

If we didn't drive them out, we bred them out.

The book, Sapiens, has a pretty good take on it, in my (completely unqualified) opinion.

You need to put blushing cheeks and half lidded eyes. Then add a "uwu senpai" quote, or some shit .

Damnit, this is the internet, we have standards

Looking for feedback (self.aphantasia)
submitted 1 month ago by sartalon to c/aphantasia
 

I am not sure I have aphantasia, but I definitely have difficulty with images.

The best way I can describe it is like I have mental impressionism.

I can see my wife's face, but it's like I am seeing it out of the corner of my eye and not in focus. If I try to focus on the details, it falls apart like zooming in on the detail of a Monet.

She can remember the conversation we had a month ago, on a date. Like play it back almost word for word. Meanwhile, I barely even remember the date itself.

But I can remember feelings, smells, and sounds. I can look at an image and I can imagine what it smells, or even feels like. Very vividly, the feel of a sunny country day. How the sun and breeze feels on my skin, the smell of the field, and the sound of the insects. I can close my eyes and almost feel like I am there. But ask me to visually describe it, I would have a hard time. (I have a terrible sense of smell now too).

I have a talent for recognizing voices, even if I can't understand the words. I can hear an actor and usually place them pretty easily, but I also can't understand conversational audio if there is any competing sounds. It is so frustrating sometimes and hearing aids don't really help that much.

Photo is unrelated, but Lemmy made me post one, so enjoy my torty.
