Mind

So I recently came across the concept of Aphantasia and that others can actually form complete pictures from the descriptions given in books. This is probably a reason why I've usually preferred more visual mediums like video games, tv shows and movies.

For me, reading books tends to be a continuation of one of those mediums, rather than the launching point of interest. For instance, I'm currently reading the Witcher series after playing the games and seeing the Netflix show.

So for those with the ability to visualize, does it just happen as you quickly as you read? Or does it happen more after the fact as you recall characters and events?

Is this why people seem to get so upset because they don't like the look of actors that have been cast in certain roles? I've always felt its far more important to get the tone of the character than their appearance.

Reddit is a nice tool to find a lot of things you’re interested in and expand upon your knowledge of those interests, but,

unfortunately it’s populated by a large hive of self loathing virgins whose biggest phobia is someone with a different opinion, and resembles an old school Salem witch mob more than a modern day group of people.

Fuck it, if this site had to go, let it go.

At the end of last year my (21F) boyfriend's (26M) dad passed away and my boyfriend was devastated. A few months later I found out I was pregnant. I didn't think I was ready to have a child, so I decided to have an abortion.

I made the mistake of telling my boyfriend about the pregnancy because I thought he deserved to know and he flipped out. He told me I couldn't have an abortion and that this baby was a gift from God to make up for his dads death or something like that. I told him no, I was having an abortion. He then went and told my mum, because he knew she'd back him up about having the baby. Once she found out I was pregnant and going to abort I was basically the devil in her eyes. We got into a massive argument and she told me that I was no longer welcome in her house as long as I was planning to get rid of her grandchild. So she kicked me out. I didn't have anywhere to go so I had to move in with my boyfriend.

Once we were living together every conversation we had was abou

Failing that, can we at least get a replacement for Tribute Hall and Menagerie?

Edit: I see a lot of people saying "It won't be gone forever!" to which my response is "Great! But we at the very least need a replacement for Tribute Hall and Menagerie." The former is the only place where you can test weaponry and have your own space, and the latter is a mode that offers a kind of gameplay not seen in Destiny in the form of a mini matchmade raid with chooseable loot and no major conseqence. A mode enjoyable enough that at launch some were calling for it to be a core activity alongside the Big 3.

NOTHING LIKE THOSE TWO THINGS EXIST IN DESTINY WITH THIS GONE. It's a loss of something truly unique. Raids and raid lairs will be replaced in time. Fuck, we KNOW Vault of Glass is coming back. These have nothing like them in the game and nothing like them confirmed for the future.

Edit 2: A lot of people have also been asking if Tribute Hall and Menagerie are going and what proof

I’m going to get downvoted to hell for this, but hi welcome to my Ted Talk. SCP-682 is Overrated, OP, and he’s an utter edglelord(Like to the point where it’s not even funny). I don’t understand why people like him so much. So, I’ve come here, to ask people WHY they like 682, cuz I’m genuinely curious as to why they like him.

I think his OP because he has no weaknesses, heals from everything, and he is immortal. His only “weakness” is 173 but even that didn’t kill him, and it didn’t really seem or so any lasting damage so he doesn’t count as a weakness.

I think he is Overrated because like everyone fan I know likes him for some reason and get mad at me when I say I don’t.

I think he is an Edgelord because his personality is kinda like cardboard. All his lines are either him muttering to himself, saying something cryptic that doesn’t actually mean anything, or talking about how much he hates humans and wants to kill us. Personally, I can’t name any character traits besides Angry a

In my case I received a pretty significant inheritance and my friend knew the relative who passed away was well off and asked if I had gotten an inheritance and when I told her that I had, she kept throwing out ballpark numbers until I indicated which range it was in. She then gave me all kinds of “advice” about quitting my job, leaving my husband and getting a grotto installed at my home. As if all of that wasn’t obnoxious enough, now simple texts that shouldn’t involve $$ now do. Example: We’re going on a road trip soon and instead of asking if I’d be willing to drive, she sends this: “Any chance we could take your car but I drive? I get so car sick if i don’t. Mine has 160,000 miles on it and I still owe $13,000 - so the less I drive it on trips the better.” I’m worried that her knowledge of my finances will forever taint our friendship and I don’t know if there’s anything I can do about it.

Edit: I absolutely don’t mind her driving my car and not using hers, that’s truly not an

My dad always taught me that it’s not really about the person who you’re arguing with, because you’re not going to change their mind. It’s much more valuable to consider that others who may not be sure which way they swing are reading/listening to determine who they agree with. You change more minds when you argue rationally, calmly and with facts, and that’s more valuable than ‘winning’ against the other person.

Someone told me this 5 years ago and it stuck in my mind since :

“If you work for someone else, you are just a cost to them. And costs by nature are meant to be kept down. In 99% of the cases, salaries and wages never made anyone rich.”

My fiance and I are going to get married in a few months. And we've decided we don't want kids at the wedding. We've assigned the roles that are usually performed by children to our beloved pets. My dog will be the flower girl, my fiance's dog will be the ring bearer and my two cats are co - maids of honor. Our friends, bf's sister and my brothers think this is adorable.

Alas! Our other relatives do nor share this enthusiasm. Bf's parents said they though ti was strange but accepted it because they want us to be happy. My parents threw a fucking fit and accused me of "placing animals above children". I calmly explained to them that this was my fiance's and my wedding and it really wasn't their place to decide who would be a part of it. Our pets are well trained and well behave, which is more than I can say about our relatives' kids. My parents aren't coming to my wedding because I refused to follow a certain sexist wedding tradition (father "giving away" the daughter). Good fucking ri
