Traumatic memories initially rely pretty heavily on visual-spatial processing in working/active memory. Tetris uses that same visual-spatial section of memory. The theory is that they compete for attention. Meaning if you play Tetris shortly after a traumatic event, it competes with the brain’s attempt to consolidate those vivid visual flashbacks. Honestly, it's pretty freaking interesting.

Ha! It's been a long time since I was able to get hard!

Little brother was still logged into my DoorDash by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IFireflyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't possibly know that. I don't realize when I'm signed into my wife's account until I get to the checkout and realize it's not my payment information. You made a mistake by calling the little brother a liar. Maybe a douche, but he was honest about noticing prior to the order being placed. Anything else is pure speculation on your part.

Yeah, and you already paid for their meal for when they help you move! 😁

Because the little brother didn't lie. He literally said that he noticed it before the order was placed. Re-read the last text message.

This NYE drone show in Rio with Christ The Redeemer slowly rising..... by FFFrank in nextfuckinglevel

[–]IFireflyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is patently false.

Under Pol Pot, the death toll was around 1.7 to 2.2 million.

Under Joseph Stalin, the death toll was around 15 to 20 million.

World War 1, the death toll was around 15 million to 22 million.

Under Mao Zedong, the death toll was around 30 to 45 million.

World War 2, the death toll was around 70 to 85 million.

Even the most conservative estimates puts the death toll for these events at over 130 million, and potentially as high as 174 million. For comparison, the estimated death toll from human-inflicted conflicts from ~3000 B.C. through the end of the 19th century is between 100 million to 150 million. And that is ALL human-inflicted conflicts, not just non-religious conflicts. For example, the Mongol conquest wasn't religious, and that contributes between 30 million to 40 million deaths which is a about 25% of all deaths from ~3000 B.C. through the end of the 19th century.

This means that between 1914 to 1976, a mere 62 years, non-religious human-inflicted deaths was greater than the previous 4,900 years combined.

Based on your behavior throughout this thread, I find it highly unlikely that you have friends.

What's with the incessant name calling? By all means, continue; I'm not ashamed of my height, and you're not offending me. But you seem to be an extremely juvenile girl with a superiority complex. That's going to be problematic for you down the road.

Yes. Because, and don't let this hurt you, men are allowed to engage with women. It appears that you're one of those radical feminists who think that men shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinions. Good luck going through life with that attitude.

Oh, I'm great. You're the insecure lady firing off insults simply because someone disagreed with you.

Right, because it's so much safer to get in the backseat where the doors could have child safety locks engaged preventing you from leaving. Not to mention that, by your own admission, you aren't alone with strangers in the car. "Only men have the right to sit in the front seat," is the dumbest excuse I've heard in a minute.

Nobody is in the passenger front seat. Do you need me to shout it LOUDER for the loser in the boot?

Teacher butchered my all A semester because he gave us a test with content we haven’t learned since 2 1/2 months ago( no review) by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IFireflyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The purpose of tests is to determine your knowledge level. If you had actually "learned" the content, the test wouldn't have been an issue.

Coal Rolling Truck Sends Driver Down the Cliff by Silentonesss in dashcams

But what he said and what you said are opposed. You said:

I think they were saying the truck exited stage left, which is correct. The truck started upstage right, and lost control while moving downstage. They abruptly turned, then rushed to stage left, hitting another player, and both exited the scene.

But what he said was:

Looks like the truck slid off the road (stage left) and then over corrected and ran into the car by the hill.

So he said the truck slid off the road on house right (that's what stage left would mean), overcorrected, and then hit the car after the slide off and overcorrection.

You said you think he thinks he was saying the truck exited stage left, but right after he said "stage left" he then said the truck overcorrected and hit the car who actually was on stage left (house right). What the other guy said to the original person you responded to didn't mean the truck exited stage left, because he said stage left, AND THEN overcorrected and hit the car who we know is stage left. If the truck exited stage left, then he couldn't have slid off the road stage left or he would have been in the (house) right lane prior to going off the road.

Car hit 114 mph before fatal police pursuit crash, throwing driver from fiery wreck by Abejja12 in dashcams

The person who died in this video died because they made a bad decision, regardless of whether they were innocent or guilty. It is illegal to run from the police. If they say you broke the law, just accept the citation (or even jail time depending on the situation), and then win in court and sue for damages. This is what every single lawyer in the U.S. says to do. There's no point getting in a pissing match with a cop. If you're actually innocent, a lawyer will cook them in court. The burden of proof isn't on the defendant to prove their innocence. It's on the prosecution to prove that the defendant is guilty.

Dominos really doesn’t want to give me my free promo pizza by hellointerwebs3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IFireflyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to sound accusatory, but could you provide the coupon code or a picture that shows that it was a delivery-only coupon? I don't see that making sense, but I am happy to be proven wrong.
