I can’t be the only who thought the list would be long am I?

Very well said, I hope you don’t catch a ban for this comment.

My turbo button was connected to an LED but that was it

Don’t feel too bad, it jumps to mind as well

To me it’s blue and I’m not seeing purple, but I’m pretty colorblind so I’d say take that with a grain of salt lol

Basically I made this post to highlight how different peoples thinking is on even something as simple as thinking of a random thing that’s blue.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct

Anything at all

The unholy union of anarchists and utilities

NGL our solar system being the size of a finger print is (somehow) bigger than I expected.

Another fun size thing I heard recently was that if an atom were the size of a football stadium then the nucleus would be the size of a pea.

Gotta keep my sanity somehow

Yup

Personal goals and stuff really

Grand scheme things got me nervous though

Not yet unfortunately

In fact (as much as it pains me to say) before the month is out they’re effectively getting a promotion from president elect to president before the month is out.

NGL I was really hoping they’d get a promotion to federal prison inmate by this point

I’m really not excited going into this year

There are aspects I’m looking forward to but there’s an air of DREAD hanging over 2025 that can’t be ignored

I never said that?

Everyone sees the world through different lenses was what I was saying.

I see trying to explain to you that different people process and retain information differently just isn’t working. So I’m just going to move on.

I hope you have a Happy New Year.

That’s unfortunate that it only supports Geekbench

I’d love to see it get back to supporting whatever again

I’ll do what I can (I do proof read my comments and I always seem to miss things) but with how my brain processes info and holds info it’s a hurdle for sure.

I don’t want to write a novel as reply explaining how my brain processes info here but how little my brain holds gender info or processes it, it’s like sand in a collander.

Like I’ll be hammering a reply, the info slips out of my brain, and due to using gender neutral / agnostic pronouns for people by default I switch to using them without noticing. And then it slips through the proof reading process as the info is gone at that point.

Like if you’ve seen that video that went viral like a decade ago where people where the premise is “follow the basketball” and a dude dressed as a gorilla walks through the middle, and no one notices the gorilla when watching the video, it’s kinda like that. I focus on the conversation topic and engaging with the other person, and rest of the info falls away.

It’s kinda hard to explain (though I did write many novel elsewhere about it)

I hope I don’t catch any strays from a mod because that info just doesn’t get held in my brain, but given enough time I’ll probably catch at least 1.

Edit: I think I came up with an idea on how to voice my thinking but bear with me it’s odd. Say there’s 3 people, 1 is colorblind (monochromatic), 1 says there’s only a handful of colors and the rest are confused, and the third says there’s a color spectrum. The monochromatic colorblind person agrees with the person who says there’s a spectrum (basically everything is a spectrum, why not color?) but due to not seeing color defaults to refering to things in generic ways. Would you say the colorblind person is an ally to the person saying there’s a spectrum or would you say that they’re an ally to the person saying there’s only a small number of colors and the rest are confused?

I’m basically the monochromatic colorblind person in this scenario. It’s Greek to me.

?

Gender is like a muti-axial spectrum right, so when it comes to refering to people that whole spectrum is wrapped in a big circle of “gender neutral / agnostic” pronouns with some cut outs inside for gender specific ones. And it’s not like a form fitting circle it’s like a cookie inside a bakery. Like gendered pronouns are like different kinds of cookies but the bakery deals in more than just cookies. The gender neutral / agnostic pronouns are outside of the spectrum but also contain the spectrum.

It’s like he/she/they is like snickerdoodle/chocolate chip cookies/baked goods, and not snickerdoodle/chocolate chip cookies/gingersnaps. Like ‘he/she’ is a fine descriptor of living things and ‘they’ is the blanket term for living things as to snickerdoodles/chocolate chip cookies is a fine descriptor of cookie and ‘baked goods’ is the blanket term of baked things.

But as mentioned in the spoilered part: gender info is stored so poorly in my brain and is something I think about so little that it’s going to slip out of my brain basically immediately so I go with the gender neutral by default. It’s not a “fall back to gender neutral, I can’t remember what they prefer” it’s a “refering to someone multiple times and it slips out of my brain without noticing”. Like proofreading my comments is something I do constantly but I still miss things constantly.

I hope that makes sense?

Spitting facts right there!

I just wanna love on a boat going all over the place

Only problem is to get a boat that could do that (even going full cheap AF route) is so bloody expensive

Not to mention I basically have to have at least a small income stream otherwise I can’t see a doctor

I keep looking at my spreadsheet going “someday”
