@KimberlyMcBlaze oh noooooo I am mentally ill and under attack from people who point out that I'm mentally ill!!!

How am I supposed to live in denial and pretend that I'm a woman with all this conflict?!?

@aral you live in Ireland but never shut up about American politics. I think I finally understand why Ireland is a part of the EU.

I love that I can ask niche/technical engineering questions here, in a field that I have little knowledge in, addressed to nobody in particular, and people smarter than I am take the time to provide useful information that is of great value to an ignorant/Dunning-Kruger 'tard like myself.

@Richard lol, must have missed that.

@Jonny you’re just jealous because you live on a homosexual island full of brown people that pray to a volcano, wherein ice is a rare commodity.

People that dump trash on the side of the road are scum. It's a step beyond the "grocery cart test".

Throw an apple core out the window? No problem boss.

Let your dog piss on my mailbox? A little aggravating, but fine, whatever.

Let your dog shit in my yard? I'm putting up a sign.

Throw cans and bottles on my yard? I'm putting up cameras and I'm gonna find you.

Dump entire trash bags full of your garbage? I hope you have a direct line to the national guard, pal.

@fuknukl blame @amerika, not me.

'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling

And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly

Mmm… eggnog as coffee creamer.

> you are talking, but not speaking, and you don't hear it.

This sounds like riddle or something, lol.

Again, I have no frame of reference for what you're talking about.

@dcc @boomer @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @bot @Nudhul @sun Yeah, but just because I possess spatial imagination doesn't mean I use it when I think about things that are non-mechanical. I don't hear a voice in my head, but I don't picture things with my minds eye either (again, unless I'm thinking about a physical object).

@dcc @boomer @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @bot @Nudhul @sun

I can effortlessly spin objects I've seen around in my head as if it's a CAD model. There's a caveat, in that I can't do that with things I haven't seen. For example, I can easily visualize and manipulate a granny smith apple. But if you asked me to do the same for a purple apple with a glowing pink stem, I can't without significant effort.

That said, I don't picture things in my head unless what I'm thinking about is mechanical.

@dcc @boomer @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @bot @Nudhul @sun So because I don't hear voices in my head when thinking, that means I'm "not thinking and a creature of habit"?

@bot @Diceyocean @boomer @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul @sun In the same way that I'm able to speak without hearing voices in my head first, I guess. I dunno. I don't know what it's like to hear voices when thinking about things.

@bot @Diceyocean @boomer @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul @sun yeah, like I mentioned I subconsciously articulate vocalization muscles when performing some linguistic tasks, but I'm honestly not sure if that happens *before* or *after* I've already processed it and have committed to writing it. I think it happens after.

@bot @Diceyocean @boomer @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul @sun I don't know -- I don't have anything else to compare to. I sometimes speak things "aloud" (inaudible whisper, basically, just muscular articulation) sometimes and can "hear" myself, but usually I only do that if I'm working out something linguistically (as opposed to general "thinking").

I certainly don't have voices in my heard narrating my life. I'm not sure if that's what it's like for others, but if it is, y'all are NPCs or some shit

@bot @Diceyocean @boomer @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul @sun I can force it, I think, but no. I don't hear voices in my head.

@sun @boomer @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @bot @Nudhul speaking of, @bot do you have an inner monologue?

Found the issue with my well pump, solved the immediate problem, and took steps to hopefully prevent it from happening again in the future. I'll be ordering a spare pump soon so that the current pump will outlive my grandchildren.

Tomorrow I'll be putting it back down the well and starting the sensitization procedure.

What have you accomplished so far this weekend, NAS?

It is 2:30 AM on the East coast and the Government is watching you sleep.
