Hyperphantasia. I had to look that up. While it is pretty descriptive of my inner world, I don’t think I would ever self-identify as that. Feels… a little much.
I find the whole concept of cognitive styles fascinating and I think there is a trade off. While the advent of reading is certainly a great thing, I think for many it has shrunk a part of the brain that processes speech. Prior to books, if you needed to know something you had better listen close, comprehend it quickly, and be damned sure you remembered it because there may not be a second chance.

That’s wild, I am the complete opposite.
When I read my mind takes what I am reading and provides a rich imaginatory backdrop replete with emotional undertones that unfolds and plays out as the words become concepts and the concepts link together in context to the plot/scenario/etc.
Except with math heavy subjects, I can usually get the gist of any topic by reading about it.
Conversely, I can barely follow audio instructions or explanations at all. Having something explained by a friend is fine, lots of back and forth until it clicks. Casual listening, like a fiction book, is fine.
Anything else and I get a little lost halfway through, usually trying to remember the first thing that was said.

She was extremely entertainment savvy. She had a 6th sense in knowing how and when to grab the spotlight, how to cause an uproar, and ride it until it died down. Then it was on to the next transformation.
Even if you didn’t like her, she made sure you were paying attention to her.

I was curious so I just looked it up. Very surprised to find out Nana Visitor is 5’8. Just goes to show how tall the cast was on average.

You show some respect to Michael J. Anderson.
Not only was he an excellent actor, he worked for NASA. Not bad for a guy who’s only 3 foot 7.

99% of people are mostly interested in confirming their own myopic view, to the degree that they will commit violence to ensure it. If someone reaches out a hand, I will grab it, but that’s exceedingly rare and it’s not my job to fish them out of their own ignorance un-asked.

For real. I have to travel often for work, which means driving through big cities, little towns and the countryside. If someone never got on the Internet, they’d never think things are like they sound online. Especially in the rural areas. Houses are all within 50 years of age, all the cars and trucks are new. People seem just fine.
There’s definitely a corrosion in the fabric of society but when people wonder how “the other side” can vote the way they do, especially in light of xyz, they don’t realize that for many folks their perception of the current state of events is reinforced by their day to day living with things being just fine.

- Comment on Would you rather be reincarnated into a world of magic or reborn as yourself (with your current knowledge fully intact)? 2 weeks ago:
The magic one for sure. I have no doubt that I would not only recover my memories of past lives but would ascend to much greater heights, perhaps grasping immortality itself. With dimensional and time travel, shapeshifting, I might even come back to this world. Maybe I’d turn my other self into newt and take his place. Or imbue him with forbidden knowledge and power. Or take him with me. Or maybe we’d just end up having a bunch of freaky shifting magic sex.
“Hey me, it’s you, from a world of magic. I’m here to rescue you.”
“Wow, how unexpected. Also, you’re hot.”
“Baby, I’m about to blow your mind.”

Oh it is. But there’s drugs and trauma-bonding, so that helps. Plus, it pays a few more bucks than minimum wage.
It also conveys a permanent +10 bonus to your rizz so you can sleep with the slutty front of house.
Somewhere between the borders of desperation and total burnout there is a sweet spot where you realize you are performing at a higher level than you ever have and the satisfaction compensates for the lack of pay and the life destroying vices you need to employ in order to cope with the constant stress.
Good times.

Imagine straddling the line between performing at your absolute best, pushed to the limit of your abilities, and living in a complete horror show of a shift. All your cylinders are firing, your brain is running 110%, your body is alive. It is up to you, and the crew you trained, to impose order onto chaos by performing a complex symphony of actions in a tightly coordinated team.
Yes, tensions are high, but everyone is digging in, summoning their grit, and working together to tackle any upset in the highly demanding flow of food. There is laughing, cursing, anger, worry, joy, comradery. It’s a high drama marathon that challenges you, makes you perform at your best every day. You know the complete despair and panic when it falls apart and you know the sweet satisfaction as the rush dies down and you and your team did it, against all odds, once again.
When you look out the window and see the hordes of people eagerly awaiting to enjoy a great meal with their friends and family and you look over at the people already served and see the absolute bliss on their faces as they dig in…
You. You made that happen.

- Comment on Why do some people identify with a political party even if many of their views don't align with that party's platform? 3 weeks ago:
Because of overlapping vectors of group socialization often contradict each other. What vector a person is subjected to first usually takes precedent until a more impactful one imposes a new structure. People are often introduced to church before they are old enough to understand politics.
People very rarely reevaluate their stances without some major life event forcing them to. Instead, they take the stances already taught to them by others and look around trying to find confirmations.

At gym: rest timer goes off, me seeing that guy eyeing my bench for the last 20 minutes, better knock out the last set.
At home: rest timer goes off, “You’re not the boss of me!”
Also me: between set, mmm, a pb&j sounds great right about now, wanders off

Can confirm. Having an progressive program tailored to one’s goals is key. In the first 6 months of going to the gym I wasn’t seeing a lot of results. It was certainly better than nothing; I was learning the exercises, developing the base level strength to handle beginner weight levels… But where were these newbie gains everyone was talking about?
It wasn’t until I got on a good plan that I started making noticable leaps in strength. A year in, I decided to add in some cardio (just a 2 mile run) and suddenly I started blowing up. When I finally got my routine optimized I could be in and out of the gym in an hour. 3 times a week, that was it. If I was tight on time, I would simply do my run on my off days. So daily investment of 30 to 45 minutes. You can buy a cheap weight bench and you won’t even have to go to the gym. Hell, you can buy a cheap rack, too, like I did and do every exercise in your home for free. You can accidentally lose 45 minutes just zoned out on the couch flipping through channels, so time-wise, it’s about the best ROI you could ever make. - Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 5 weeks ago:
Without hormonal influence, repulsion is the natural reaction regarding sex. Weird smells, orifices, fluids, grunting and sweating all up in personal space, goofy faces, the entire act is inherently gross. It takes a powerful cascade, a cocktail if you will, of hormones to induce procreation.

- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 1 month ago:
Lol, buncha normies up in this thread.
Being drunk can be, and often is, a lot of fun. There’s a reason why it’s probably one of the oldest and most frequently used mind alterants in history.
That said, getting drunk by itself is a pretty neutral, if not unpleasant, experience. What it does do is make everything else you’re doing more enjoyable. The music is hitting harder, the person you’re talking to is more attractive, YOU’RE more attractive, the joke you told is funnier, etc. It amplifies all the emotions, and since it also reduces anxiety, often the whole of those emotions experiences are positive.
As for how much control you have, it’s like a sliding scale. As one becomes drunker a multitude of things happen that undermine one’s self-control until there is very little or none left and people run on a kind of autopilot that is a combination of basic human instincts and the behavioral patterns developed over their lifetime.
There is a type of mental fog that gets stronger as the scale moves farther into drunkeness. This fog begins to inhibit higher order thinking until you can’t make any decisions besides satisfying the most immediate physical needs, or deep seated psychological drives.
Anyway, it’s a lot of fun until it isn’t.
