This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?

Jump

  • I visualized a blue ball the size of a tennis ball being pushed forward on a flat white surface by a shadowy figure with only the hand being visually clear. Upon the follow-up question, I believe that it solidified the gender in my mind to be male and also prompted me to think about the surface of the table edges in relation to where the figure stood. However, my main focus was on the blue ball and the hand pushing it forward over a white surface.

    • What is something you encounter everyday that is completely divorced from reality?

  • I relate to you. I only have about 2ish hours of actual work a day on average, and I have to drag it out all day just to look busy. I never expected that it would feel soul sucking to have so little work but still be chained to your desk. I thought I was lucky! (And I certainly am in someways)

    The irony is that when I first started, I was efficient and would read when I didn't have anything to work on. But my boss didn't like to see me reading, so he would give me more work. The issue is that there is only so much he can do at a time, so it resulted in me finishing assignments, and him being so overloaded he wouldn't get to them until weeks or months later. Now I just pretend to be busy, so he doesn't feel like he needs to give me more, and I'm not having to remind him of documents in review that are weeks old.

    Sorry for the rant, I am currently sitting here pretending to be busy while slowly dying inside.

  • HBO is the last streaming platform I have, and I will be cutting the cord soon.

    I've now switched to having a shitty chromebook hooked up to my TV with an hdmi cable so I can pirate anything I want when I want. I definitely recommend it, no need to deal with ads either on YouTube when not using their shitty TV app!

    • Is texting not a conversation, or is it just me?

    Jump

  • Wat? I have ADHD and I view texting completely different. It is not like a face to face convo, it's more akin to email, but less formal. You reply when you have time, unless it is urgent.

    • An Insane Missouri Law Prevents Pregnant Women From Getting Divorced—Even If They’re Victims of Domestic Violence

    Jump

  • I'm a paralegal, and Wisconsin is the same. We had a headache in one case a couple years ago where nobody knew the other party was pregnant, not even her attorney, until the final hearing and she was asked the generic question about pregnancy before finalizing. We then had to do a partial final judgment and schedule another final hearing a couple of months after her expected due date to fully finalize it.

  • My boss loves asking me why I haven't done something he asked me to do a month ago, only for me to tell him I did it a month ago and it's in review for him to finalize 🥲

    • Everything is explained away in Evolution by Natural Selection. Natural Selection makes sense if there is a Supreme Creator but in the absence of one why does it exist?

    Jump

  • Now this is speculation on my part, but I assume that any organisms that didn't have this innate drive randomly present in their biology, they died off, so all that's left now are the organisms with this drive.

    So organisms that didn't seek out reproduction at our earliest form of life, are dead and what remains are the organisms that randomly developed with this drive.

    Jump

  • Because life couldn't exist as we know it if there wasn't an inherent desire to live. If living organisms didn't have that inate drive to continue living, all species would become extinct before ever evolving.

    Though I don't have any actual knowledge in this area so who knows if I'm right. Just my assumptions!

  • I feel so lucky I haven't had a cat or dog have issues with free feeding! If I ever had a pet that was a glutton, I'd need one of those timed feeder bowls or I'd constantly forget to do it. Though, I'm sure they would make sure to remind me anyway!
