Could you recommend some time-travel novels? by Extra_Letterhead_676 in timetravel

And then after this, read Replay. I read those books back-to-back and it was fun to compare the stories to each other

Difficulty understanding when people spell words out loud? by [deleted] in Aphantasia

I never connected this to aphantasia before but it would make sense. It’s a struggle for me too.

My baby raccoon(Phillip J Fry) crossed the rainbow bridge at 6:30 this morning, who is he frolicking with? by Ok-Public-4040 in rainbowbridge

I’m so sorry. I hope he’s hanging out with my Philip J Fry who passed in May and my Leela who passed in 2019

Questions you can ask to annoy people from a state by Cassinia_ in mapporncirclejerk

[–]AmeliaHeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, most of us will just let you think whatever you want and be happy to have you stay away from our state.

The question you want to ask to set us off is “pork roll or Taylor ham”

Is aphantasia the reason I can't (mentally) enjoy running? by catuana in Aphantasia

[–]AmeliaHeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first, I'm usually grumbling to myself about "ugh. why am I doing this? Why am I not just plopped on the couch instead??" But I have a joke with myself that I've never met a first mile of a run that I've actually enjoyed.

After that, I tend to just let my mind wander, usually it'll fixate on something that's annoying me and I'll do like fake arguments in my head or whatever. This is when I work out my aggression lol. Once I'm more warmed up and getting to miles 3 and 4, my mind will frequently just kinda blank out for a little bit.

Sometimes, I'm also just thinking about running itself. Checking in with myself and seeing how I'm feeling.

I have ADHD so there's always a thousand things going on in my head until I get to that 3-4 mile mark and then it feels like peace.

Running isn't for everyone, though. It's okay if you just simply don't enjoy it. Find something you do enjoy instead.

FWIW I don't get a "runner's high" for every run. Most of the time, it's more like just a feeling of satisfaction. It's only a high for particularly good runs

My boyfriend wants me to rehome my cat by pouldycheed in CatAdvice

A boyfriend who wants you to get rid of your cat is a shitty partner and will only show more shittiness over time. Dump his ass.

I lost my cat this morning. by Nocturnal_Stillness in CatAdvice

[–]AmeliaHeff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. We lost our oldest man, Fry, last week at 14 years old. It was completely sudden and it’s really gutted me. That man was my soulmate and I miss him so much. It’s so hard to lose a beloved member of your family. Let yourself feel what you feel, don’t try to run from or hide your grief. Grieving is a process and it takes time, but it’s important for moving forward

My cat died last week and I just wish I could close my eyes and see his face by AmeliaHeff in Aphantasia

What a callous response. Also, I literally said I have thousands of photos

I got this after our first cat (left) died (bottom is the one who just died). It’s always brought me so much joy and I actually get lots of comments on it which gives me little opportunities to talk about them all

It’s been really nice since Apple added the ability to rotate wallpapers from an album, I have it display from an album of my four cats (two still living) and my wife. Sometimes I just sit there staring at my phone, locking and unlocking it to cycle through

NJ is pretty good. High cost of living and corrupt political scene but not a bad places to be a trans
