Came here expecting shit talking on Trump, instead, it seems to be mostly whining about having to perform PE in PE class.

"Oh God, they made me run a mile, it was the most useless test ever... in PE..."

I wish it was illegal in the state's to use your garage as storage.

I live in suburbia and everyone parks on the fucking street because they buy so much shit, that a regular house is not enough to store it, that they have to use their garage too.

Then I have to play frogger just to get to my house.

And most of the hem.jave huge fucking trucks to comuite in.

BITCH, you ain't hauling shit, you are all hat and not cattle, basic-ass motherfucker.

Wouldn't the fascists even argue that empathy is toxic?

Can concur. It's a popular poster at utilities too.

I responded to Profthadbach

Essentially there is no real reason you can't, it's just kind of redundant.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk either, just not sure why.

Both require dues and both provide the same services.

(One is for service members who fought in a foreign war, the other is for service members who didn't fight in foreign wars.

Typically VFW is for veterans who fought and American Legion is for service members who didn't fight.

I guess there is no real reason why you can't join both, but it's like joining two car wash clubs.

My wife works with a renewable company that has most of its projects in Texas.

She tried to engage their company to provide support and they were like, "Lots of people need help. There are wildfires in Utah."

She thinks there is a pretty big nationwide prejudice against Texas.

If so I get it. I feel like Texas shoots itself in the face, constantly, because the voting right is just soo dumb.

But these were little kids and poor families. Yes it was preventable, but that just makes it more tragic.

We failed them already and now we are failing them again.

If you are a member of VFW, why are you a member of American Legion?

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Solid correction, thank you.

Shout-out to a fellow Houstonian!

Not just Mexican food...

You go to the back of any local restaurant, regardless of cuisine, and chances are, there is a Mexican cooking the food.

How is that a lie, if he believes it?

I don't believe in God, but I don't call someone a liar because they believe.

Not everyone has everything figured out at 18. But sure, continue expelling the same hate as a bigot, at the wrong people.

 

I am not sure I have aphantasia, but I definitely have difficulty with images.

The best way I can describe it is like I have mental impressionism.

I can see my wife's face, but it's like I am seeing it out of the corner of my eye and not in focus. If I try to focus on the details, it falls apart like zooming in on the detail of a Monet.

She can remember the conversation we had a month ago, on a date. Like play it back almost word for word. Meanwhile, I barely even remember the date itself.

But I can remember feelings, smells, and sounds. I can look at an image and I can imagine what it smells, or even feels like. Very vividly, the feel of a sunny country day. How the sun and breeze feels on my skin, the smell of the field, and the sound of the insects. I can close my eyes and almost feel like I am there. But ask me to visually describe it, I would have a hard time. (I have a terrible sense of smell now too).

I have a talent for recognizing voices, even if I can't understand the words. I can hear an actor and usually place them pretty easily, but I also can't understand conversational audio if there is any competing sounds. It is so frustrating sometimes and hearing aids don't really help that much.

Photo is unrelated, but Lemmy made me post one, so enjoy my torty.
