EmptySlime , to Showerthoughts in It's weird that we enjoy stimulating our fear response

"No, you don't understand... They're made of meat."

EmptySlime , to World News in Israel Threatens 'Severe Consequences' for Nations Who Recognize Palestine

Technically the US is sending lots of weapons to Russia. Ukraine are even being real Bros about it and trying to deliver the munitions first cuz Russia keeps misplacing their stuff. Not their fault Russia is doing a very poor job of accepting their deliveries.

EmptySlime , to Today I Learned in TIL that some people do not have an inner voice and think in different nonverbal ways.

For me it's even weirder than that. Those pictures exist in my mind and I can "feel" them there but the conscious part of me that's supposed to see them can't see shit. I can describe to you the things that are in them or even draw them out as they exist in my mind, but I can't see them. The part of me that's giving directions? It can "see" the map of the building and my position in it just fine like it's staring straight at a live minimap, but the conscious part of me that should be able to visualize that stuff? Nothing. I close my eyes and try to visualize that dog and I see nothing but black. But I can feel the presence of the image that the part of me that does the mental conjuring of images is making.

It's like turning the monitor off on a computer. Everything is still running even though you can't see it.

I have ADHD too but in my case I don't actually "hear" any of the thoughts. But they exist similar to how you describe. At any given time I can feel multiple different thoughts kind of floating around. When music gets stuck in my head I don't so much hear it in there as I feel the presence of a song. So I have to talk out loud in order to keep from losing the thread of what I was thinking about.

It's hard to describe for me. Cuz I don't actually "see" anything I try to imagine. If I close my eyes and try to visualize say an image of a desk at a window all I see is darkness. The image exists, I can I guess I'd say "feel" it there and i could even draw it. But I can't "see" it. Like the part of me that's making the picture is drawing it on a live stream but the part of me that should be seeing the stream has the monitor off.

Same with the whole internal monologue thing. I don't "hear" the words in my head or "see" them written out in my imagination but I kinda just "feel" them there. It poses a problem when my mind really gets going because there will be often like half a dozen different distinct thoughts I can feel in there. So I end up having to talk to myself out loud in order to keep from losing whatever thread I'm trying to follow.

EmptySlime , to Not The Onion in JK Rowling slammed for asking if she can be Black if she likes “Motown & fancy myself in cornrows”

Yet another example of Joanne specifically, and reactionaries as a whole having only The One Joke™

It would almost be funny if it wasn't so damn frustrating.

EmptySlime , to 196 in All my real Americans from US State stand up!

The ones that get me are the ones that talk about voting 3rd party. A lot of them seem to understand that the 3rd party is not going to win and that their best case scenario is... I guess "Next time they'll listen to us and we'll get a real leftist?" So... Your solution to the genocide is wait 4 years to get someone who will directly end it? Bestie, I don't think Gaza will be around in 4 years. Even if you discount Trump's stated desire to be a dictator and Project 2025.

Or, what happens by the way if Biden wins in spite of them voting 3rd party? Surely it doesn't mean that they've directly proven to the Democrats that they literally don't need that voting bloc?

EmptySlime , to 196 in girls rule

I think you did great tbh! 10/10 teenage me would absolutely 100% never had any idea you were into them. But I also didn't figure out I was asexual until my mid twenties so idk if I can really count as a data point lol.

EmptySlime , to Memes in Why haven't you taken the bear pill?

Idk Pan-Pan is pretty cute. Ice Bear is cool though.

EmptySlime , to Reddit in Reddit if full of bots: thread reposted exactly the same, comment by comment, 10 months later

TFW the memes are embedded so deeply in your ADHD brain that you end up sometimes basically just becoming a Markov Chain chat bot.

EmptySlime , to ADHD in Happens Too Frequently

Fuck the Big Light™

For real. I get migraines and one or my big triggers is lights being too bright. With good old Sol being the worst offender. Luckily everyone else in my house is some flavor of autistic/ADHD so pretty much everyone agrees.

EmptySlime , to RPGMemes in We have entered the time of Reverse Mercer Effect

Now there's a rule the certainly totally didn't come from a ton of people playing "Chaotic Neutral means I get to be a 'lol so random xD' murder hobo" type characters at all.

Now I'm not really a fan of forcing people to play Good alignment characters, but my god if there was ever someone that wouldn't be allowed to play anything but Lawful/Neutral Good at my table it would be Mr. "I can just be a Good Slave Owner" over there.
