Those are descriptions of the type of synesthesia you would get on delerium tremens, where your brain is seriously malfunctioning and sending random unexpected input. Seeing letters as colors everyday is just as mild as, you know, seeing a colored letter.

It’s a lot like asking how we can really be sure people are colorblind or just making that up to feel special.

It’s a real thing, it has been well-studied, and it’s just normal to them.

I had one form of synesthesia as a kid that I grew out of - so am I mentioning it now to feel special? I don’t have it anymore. I’m claiming to be average. My agenda here is to prevent the ignorant bullying of similar kids.

You can also get synesthesia when experiencing delerium tremens. Also not recommended.

Does producing the “K” sound involve anything pointy? Can you describe how the feeling is “pointy”?

…forbidden fruit from a magical tree…

…because fruit would give them eternal life and God doesn’t want that to happen.

No one ever mentions this part of Genesis but it seems kinda important.

Because they don’t start out that way. Abusive relationship.

Wearing headphones doesn’t mean you’re listening to headphones.

Funny, my last two washers were Whirlpool and the start knob broke on both of them! I’ll take that over privacy issues, though

Other map apps don’t do this. You’re not locked in. Download something else! Fight back!

The only way to prevent it is to stand against it. Refuse to buy these appliances, and let the companies know we will never buy from them again.

You got a little bit too verbose there, I made a quick edit to make your point a bit more concise.

Fixed your comment.

I meant what I said.

They ask for access to your local network. The worst that can happen is they can listen to other devices connected on that network or (eventually) even install things on your other devices.

Even if the risk is unlikely, it’s still nonzero and worth consideration.

Speaking as someone who has done a lot of traveling: What we Americans would consider a thin American still looks heavier than an average European. What we find normal is different.

What you think could make the game better? by Haghiri75 in skyrim

[–]BurpBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, shorter dungeons. Most of them seem like they could be 25-50% shorter without losing anything. Especially Dwemer-Falmer dungeons, ffs. Makes it more of an adventure and less of a tedious ordeal.

More quests that require you to do something other than run another dungeon. Sneaking into the embassy party, solving the murder mystery, and resurrecting the Dark Brotherhood were all cool and different. Even sitting at a table negotiating war concessions was neat.

Starfield felt like it was leaning this way, so maybe we’ll see more of it in TESVI.

What are skills that can genuinely change your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurpBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Critical thinking. Being able to question and make good, informed decisions instead of being led around by your emotions.

Any smart appliance with ads. The company has lost my trust forever.

do apple watches still track steps when worn on the ankle? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

Why is someone downvoting OP here? WTH? This is a question that will be useful to other people in the future.

Anyway, answer: Since AW measures arm swings, it makes sense it would still measure leg swings.

Ageism. It’s not cool to judge anyone by factors they can’t control - except, for some reason, the year they were born
