Not trying, doing.
No voice, no images, just chunks of information. I get somgs stuck in my head but it's the urge to say the lyrics and no music. If you ask me to imagine a dog and then ask what color the dog is, i can't. There is no dog, but i know what a dog is.
I'm terrible at decorating!! After 20+ years in my house most of my walls have pictures that are sentimental to me but not visually connected in any way.
There are a lot of us.
There are some studies. I don't remember the specifics but it's something like 50/50 on hearing and seeing and about 20 percent do neither. I'm sure those numbers are off, but that's vaguely what i remember reading.
Many of us don't. Many of us also don't see images in our minds.
Apparently some people actually hear a voice and see things in their mind.
I hate you for making me click that.
It costs me $450/month for 3. That's with discounts for multi policy, adult drivers, anti-theft, anti-lock brakes, and airbags.
Not everyone has a voice in their head. Do you have a cat? Cats have thoughts. Unfortunately that thought is sometimes, "eff you, human!"
This is really difficult
You don't realize how weird lyrics are until you try to get an image that reflects them. I tried two Elton John songs in Craiyon and got scary monsters.
It doesn't matter. Bullets are scary. Shrapnel is scary. What's really ridiculous is his refusal to participate in the investigation. He turned a nothing into a something.
Fingers crossed! I have 'shrapnel' on my election bingo card! I just need "Black Hillary" (thanks for that one @[email protected]) and 'JD cries'.
I don't think there's an answer. We show up, we make the world a little better or worse for a short time, and then we're gone. In 120 years it will be all new people. I don't know what my job here is - feed some cats, 'save' a couple of dogs, help a few kids? Some people are driven to achieve. I'm not. I work for money and because it's expected. There's nothing I do that someone else couldn't step in and do as well or better. Some days are more fun than others but i rarely feel any sense of accomplishment. I do make a point to tell my family that i love them every day. It's something i wish i had started before my mom passed.
After a bad argument many years ago my husband said, "i don't know why i get so angry. I'm done making the people i love cry." From that day he changed his outlook. So, i guess my best advice is to do what you want, help when you can, and try not to hurt the people you love.
Weird ending, but have you tried gardening? I've met several people recently who really, honestly enjoy growing things - tomatoes, peppers, whatever.
What color suit does she wear?
I'm concerned that you just jinxed yourself. Toilet failure (or equally stressful event) may be in your near future.
No, I'm just saying something is fishy. I wouldn't be surprised to find that he cut his own ear.
Bounce around. Dive for coins or toys. Float. Chat with people. Some people water walk. I make my family and friends participate in made up Olympic events like race across the pool while sitting cross cross applesauce and only use your hands.
“There is an opportunity right now, and we must seize this opportunity,” Jon Polin, whose son is in captivity, told NBC News. “We need to get this done.”
App or community for "Is this AI?"
I'm not great at determining when something is AI. Is there an app or community for asking if an image is real or AI?
What age to people begin to like colors?
When i was young I thought my mom's colorful decor was ridiculous. Now I'm old and my kids think I'm ridiculous for wanting colorful everything. Is that a thing?
Lincoln Project - you're doing it wrong!
When you post shit like this, you're damaging your own credibility, not his. You have $$$ and a staff! Do better!

Hey Facebook Marketplace!
Not all of your weird old shit is mid century modern. We all know you wrote that to get a click! Shut up!
This is my first time here. Is that how I'm supposed to vent?
I like Nickelback
Not enough to follow them around, but i would see them if they came to town and I'm kind of looking forward to watching the Netflix show when I'm home alone Monday.
Flow dropped a couple of new strains today and restocked some others.

I'm missing the drop notices and reviews from r/, but not enough to go back.
US politics- Who should/could take Biden's place?
I know people will say anyone, but realistically, if you could hand pick our next President, who would you choose? Who do you think could win?
Is there a confessions community?
I popped into r/ today to read about furniture and now I'm feeling kinda dirty. Maybe i should donate to lemmy as penance.
Pecan for outdoor furniture?
I got a good deal on some pecan and i was planning to use it to build patio furniture. I don't know much about pecan and I'm having trouble finding much info about it. Is this a good wood for outdoor use or should i find an indoor project for it?
What's the best US site/app to sell stuff?
Cleaning out my mom's house. I hate to trash things that may be useful to someone else and some of it's probably worth some $$. I've used Facebook marketplace a couple of times. I've heard of OfferUp and LetGo but haven't used them. Where will i get the best response and $? Should i just pile it all up and do an online estate sale instead? TIA. Also, if anyone has done this and has any general tips, please share.
Have you ever scent trained a dog? Do you have experience with a blind pet?
My 10 year old pup is going blind. We've been in the same house for most of her life and she's doing ok, but I'm worried it's going to get more difficult for her. She's not the smartest, but she can sit, lie down, and shake on command. I've read several articles about scent training but would like to get tips from someone who has done it. I'm thinking of using 4 different scents for bed, toys, stairs, and food/water - i know she can smell the food, but i want to make sure she can find the water bowl when she's outside. Is that too many?
One article recommended marking a path on the floor/ground so she knows where there's a clear route. Another suggested marking furniture/obstacles so she knows where to avoid.
If you have any experience with this and can offer tips, i would appreciate it. Also, if you want to share any happy stories about your VI pets, i would love to hear them. It's heartbreaking to see her misjudge the doorway or bonk into things.
political polls
Have you ever been asked to participate in a political poll? Do you know of anyone who has?
TIL about Thomas Midgley and I wonder what's 'perfectly safe' today.
Though the dangers of leaded gasoline and CFCs are now well-known, their inventor, Thomas Midgley Jr. — the subject of a film under development — was once lauded as a hero. But even he couldn’t escape the impact of his creations.
