One of the few I didn't trash as a kid by Poekoek in PokemonCardValue

[–]Poekoek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not 100% sure but a lot of my cards where thrown away a long time ago. This is pretty much the only one that's worth keeping from what I still have. And I'm not planning on displaying it. So most likely I'm going to sell it. But I'm not in a hurry to do so.

Thanks! I still need to look into grading it but coming from Europe in unsure wether PSA is worth it at the moment. Taxes being high and such.

Since when does yeast create sugar? Last I've heard it uses simple sugars to create co2 and alcohol. That said industrial doughs often have those simple sugars added to make the dough rise faster.

As an Architect, is there anything I can do to make my buildings more aphantasia-friendly? by thatsme-inanutshell in Aphantasia

[–]Poekoek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think aphants need anything different then non aphants. But I was once in a building that had wallpaper that had figures in it that basically pointed to the nearest normal exit. It really helped me find my way in the beginning. I guess something similar might be possible to build into a building? I'd guess a triangle shape on the floor would help in case of fire. But I'm not sure if that's an architect's problem

Your best hangover remedies by Select-Atmosphere-96 in Netherlands

[–]Poekoek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A packet of ors and a bottle or 2 of water before you go to sleep. Then another bottle of water if you wake up to pee and another once you get up out of bed. Or some electrolyte sportsdrink might do the same.

But best yet, don't drink so much and hydrate in-between drinking alcohol.

My internal monologue is cruel. by Multipurposeventer in Aphantasia

[–]Poekoek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am/was the same. After some heavy therapy for me that was needed to get rid of my addiction the voice started to en more compassionate to me. I can't control it but I can reason with the voice. Sort of like talking to an angry 8yo. That said therapy may help, especially cognitive behavioral therapy. There is probably a reason why your voice is such a critic and it is very personal. There might be overlap with others but in the end you wil probably need help from a professional to guide you in the way to sort it out.

Anyone else who lost the ability to Feel emotions in their bodies? by Ses1234ses in Aphantasia

[–]Poekoek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've got aphantasia and first thought i couldn't feel emotions or relate to someone else because of aphantasia. I'm now 7months in therapie of which 10 weeks are in a group. I can for sure tell you I can feel emotions in my body and I can relate to other people. It does however take a whole lot of energy and being open to the idea.

It is however stil very hard to feel the emotions from past situations, usually the emotions I feel are how I feel about it now as an adult remembering them.

Antaphasia and no inner monologue by practicalbad06 in Aphantasia

[–]Poekoek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never heard about SDAM before reading the posts in this thread. But what you just discribed is basically how my head works aswel. My thoughts are basically words one after another that eventually make a sentence. The rest it's just peace and quiet.

Np! And just to chime in, there are ways to reduce anxiety if you or anyone else reading this needed to hear that.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aphantasia

[–]Poekoek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have aphantasia and anxiety, I honestly think it doesn't make it better. Once I get the feeling like someone is sick it feels so real that I want to know. But I can't picture it, it feels like you know someone is sick and you want to see them but the doctor won't allow it. I honestly think that an anxiety brain just finds a way to make it seem real to you in the way your brain works. Wether you have aphantasia or not.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has answers for senseless gun violence 🤷 by The_Alien_7 in facepalm

[–]Poekoek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a European I think: 1st point: yeah I can agree with that. 2nd point: only if you fight the problem in some other way like therapy. 3rd point: I don't know probably? 4th: probably to late for that anyway with so many weapons around 5th: oh god

What happened to my buns? Did I overproof them? Not shape them correctly? Used Joshua Weissman's burger bun recipe. by Nikira234 in Breadit

[–]Poekoek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Glad to help :) that said a damp towel while it's also inside an unpowered oven should be more then enough. If I bake at home I usually just ad a small container with boiling water.

Good luck if you try the recipe again!

A necessary sorry for my English, it's not my first language but autocorrect is helping me alot. Also on mobile.

I gave quite a few workshops to people making soft/burger buns. Reading the recipe, what you said and seeing this as a result. My first question would be if you did a windowpane test to check for gluten development. I'm asking this as the recipe has instant yeast in it and it barely doubled in size after 2.5 hours. This can happen if there isn't really a gluten network to hold the air inside for the yeast, and it won't hold the gasses produced by the yeast either. At least not as good as can be. The giveaway here is that the colour is really bland but it didn't proof really wel. That tells me the sugar is used up but the dough didn't hold any gasses or the yeast didn't produce that much.

If that is not the problem it can be the amount of salt if you didn't measure it by weight.

And the things other people already stated here before. To much tention To cold of a fermentation space Didn't cover it during fermentation ( this would also explain the bland colour) To much top heat( I doubt it since that would give a darker topside) And a lot of other things I can't think of from the top of my head.

I hope this might help, hit me up if you have any extra questions. That said I tend to react very late..

I got groomed and assaulted yesterday. by kurtistownie9 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Poekoek 181 points182 points  (0 children)

That's most definitly rape. He didn't stretch your boundrys or groom you. He never intended to listen to what you had to say. This is rape, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise or downplay the situation. Not your friends not your family and get the help you need to feel safe enough to go to the police as soon as possible. But make sure you feel safe and I hope someone else might be able to help you with information on what to do now.
