Same. I have Mexican neighbors who don’t even know what’s going on. We are 41 miles from the border; ICE is harassing anyone (even at a nearby HS) browner than vanilla ice cream; people have been disappeared already. Ignorance may be bliss, but that bliss can be made to come to a dramatic end.

The country that makes it illegal to be homeless. Sorry. How can THAT be, well, legal?! It’s like making it illegal to have asthma. Noone CHOOSES homelessness, FFS, anymore than anyone chooses asthma. This country makes me sick.

We are fat, lazy, and afraid of ignorant. Doesn’t help that the country is so friggin huge, too. But it does make me fearful. Seems quite possible we have waited too long.

Wait. Here? Or on Reddit? Either way…ugh.

Ugh. Humans ruin everything.😞

Dang. Thanks for the info.

It doesn’t matter what we’d rather. We need them.

Hmmm. I think it is potentially very off-putting to use phrases like “you’re angry at…”, and "you’ve been taught…’ It smacks of us telling them what they think and has that very quality of knowingness that these folks find such a turn off. I think we could turn to cult de programmers for advice on how to approach them

Isn’t it for the Greenland’s to say whether Denmark has “done a good job by the people of Greenland”? He is just the most pathetic, spineless simp ever.

Hey, I’m a newbie here from Reddit. I like your comment enough that is like to follow you, but I cannot figure out how; can you help?

While in a cabinet meeting with all his creepy, brainless minions and his hubby, Musk, in attendance.

Mr. Rogers would approve.

Says who?

I have total aphantasia and am exactly the same.

I have all the senses, but not emotions. Didn’t know that was a thing!

And then there’s the hyperphantastics. My friend can close her eyes and replay scenes in her mind like a movie! Blew my mind.

I found it very interesting to learn that they believe aphantasics can form the mental image, they just can’t access it. Minds are amazing!

Yeah. I just talk the talk to most people, cause it’s easier. I’m lucky, though, that one of the people I’m closest to also has the full works of aphantasia, anauralia, and the other one I can never remember. Also AuDHD.

She’ll get through it. I had a similar experience, but it passed. I can’t picture my daughter in my mind, but I can describe her and recognize her and, as it happens, she has aphantasia, too. Indeed, I only realized I did because of her. She said that, because she is autistic and has always known how different she is, she knew it wasn’t just metaphorical when people spoke of “mind’s eye” and “picturing” things. Remind her of how much aphantasia frees her from. I wouldn’t trade.

Ha! I posed this query to my daughter just the other day. We are both aphantastic and have no chess abilities at all.
