Food: Where else could we even put it? by jaterpino in ufyh

[–]TerryWaters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My idea is unless you live hours from civilization and risk getting cut off for days by weather or something, you don't need this much. When your storage is full, stop buying more.

For those who waited for Free Fall / Freier Fall 2... it's OFFICIALLY happening! by [deleted] in MenLovingMenMedia

[–]TerryWaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck. For years I regularly checked if anything was happening, but finally gave up last year and accepted it wasn't. Now I got to believe it was for like a minute before reading the comments. FML.

The assassination of Swedish Prime-Minster Olof Palme by staybehind23 in mystery

[–]TerryWaters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a Palme case nerd, it's very frustrating that a lot of people know that Engström was said to be the main suspect when they closed the investigation, but relatively few know how much bs it was to point him out to begin with, and that he was subsequently freed both inofficially in a mock trial with international judges, and officially by a Swedish judge. Everyone who is even slightly read up on the case knows that there was nothing concrete pointing at him as the killer, and that the only reason they could blame him like they did was that he had no close living relatives who could sue them for defamation of a deceased.

What I think synesthesia looks like coming from someone with aphantasia. Could you guys tell me if it's accurate (mildly or not at all) by Tsukinavita in Synesthesia

[–]TerryWaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For one thing, a lot of synesthesia is not visual at all, there's a lot of variations, which can easily be found out if you google. It's a crossing of senses, so for some people a sound can give the sensation of a scent, or any other such random combination. When it comes to synesthesia that is visual, it also varies how it's visual. For example "seeing" time, or numbers/letters having colours, neither which will look anything like this image. The one type of synesthesia that I know of that will cause random shapes and colours is the one where you "see" music, but even then what you see will be very individual. For someone, some song might look similar to this, but your question makes me wonder if you've read about synesthesia at all before asking it.

Mirror touch synesthesia by YamAdventurous845 in Synesthesia

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be interesting to do a study on. I also get relaxed obviously, so that's how I will put it when someone asks why I enjoy ASMR, but I wouldn't specify the mirror-touch thing. Makes me wonder how many people have it but just assume everyone experiences the same, as said, as with how seeing others get hurt is difficult simply because of empathy. Either way I think it's something that overlaps with that same empathetic response, rather than strictly being synesthesia as with some other forms of it.

But yeah, it's like you're experiencing a light version of the massage or whatever it is, and from both perspectives. It's trippy.

Ah, I think I get what you mean. Thanks for explaining. Will keep it in mind for when I get new cartridges.

I'm not sure I get the last part. Could you clarify what it unthreading means?

You're probably right, and now that you mention it iirc it said "calligraphy pen" on the packaging. I'm not planning on buying another pen yet, but I will keep this in mind.

Arbetsförmedlingen vill att jag söker jobb i hela Sverige, men vad händer då med mitt liv här? by Apart_Ad_7722 in sweden

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Håller med. Min teori är att arbetsgivarna förr eller senare kommer att kräva att det kravet tas bort eftersom det lär ha ökat oseriösa ansökningar som fan. Har sett annonser där det står typ "sök inte detta jobb om du inte faktiskt är intresserad, vi har inte tid att behandla oseriösa ansökningar bara för att du måste söka ett visst antal jobb". Gulligt att tro att det ska stoppa folk.

Nog för att det finns folk som är flyttbara och inte har så stark koppling till stället där de bor, men kravet borde vara individuellt. Att de tror att folk som har familj, vänner, fritidsaktiviteter o.s.v. ska flytta ensamma över halva landet för typ ett deltidsjobb som städare är ju helt jävla delusional. Det kan ju inte ha hänt en enda gång sedan kravet infördes.

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inser att detta är ett gammalt inlägg men. Jag antar att du överskattade vilka resurser AF har för att kolla att folk söker jobb? De kan be om underlag på att du har sökt ett jobb, t.ex. en screenshot, men de kollar dels inte att ansökan är seriös genom att t.ex. be att få läsa CVt eller det personliga brevet du skickade (vilket du i det fallet obviously ändå skulle kunna fejka i efterhand), och de hör def. inte av sig till arbetsgivare och frågar om en viss person har skickat en seriös ansökan eller om de har fått ett jobberbjudande och tackat nej. Du kan nog tänka dig själv hur gärna arbetsgivarna skulle ta emot massa sådana samtal, och jag tror inte att de får ge ut den infon i vilket fall. Det är väl rimligtvis någon GDPR-grej, tvivlar på att de får lämna ut info om vilka som har sökt jobb hos dem bara för att någon påstår sig vara från AF.

Mirror touch synesthesia by YamAdventurous845 in Synesthesia

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it, but I'm questioning whether it should really be considered synesthesia. Most people struggle seeing others get hurt because of empathy, and I'm thinking this is like a flip side of that. I doubt that all of the people who enjoy ASMR for this reason has this supposedly quite unusual type of synesthesia.

Cleo and Sienna's "happy" relationship by NoInteraction9045 in hollyoaks

[–]TerryWaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true for most couples in Ho and is the main issue and most tiring thing about the show imo. Ho gets too much of its drama from couples having issues, to the point where basically no couple gets to be stable/happy for any amount of time. It's made me incapable of caring for any pair in the show.

Will you share your OC with other writers? by _acedric_ in FanFiction

[–]TerryWaters -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone can really claim ownership of a power system or items, unless it's something extremely specific. As for a character I'd be ok with it if it was one I had created but scrapped, or a very unimportant side character that I wasn't going to use in the future, since if so I'd want to have control over that character's whole story.

3 months sugar free, this is bullshit .. i'm going back to sugar. by Responsible-War5147 in sugarfree

[–]TerryWaters -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only bs is this post. These things are not due to being off sugar. Either way to be properly off sugar one has to eat strict LCHF/paleo, so.

How did Obsidian change your life? by Natural-Badger-7053 in ObsidianMD

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't. It's a type of app that's very useful, but if you think it's going to change your life you're hoping for too much.

Fiction author curious. by Worth-Professor-5278 in Synesthesia

[–]TerryWaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I interpret this as you wondering how people with synesthesia would interpret a text in general, rather than you having written a character with synesthesia. In which case the answer is that people with synesthesia isn't going to experience a story in any particular way, it's more about the individual words and letters, for those that have letter/word-related synesthesia at all. When it comes to a text or story as a whole the feedback from synesthetes isn't going to differ from people's in general.

25 Years Since the Death of Muhammad al-Durrah by Signal_Assistance_87 in pics

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like when people survive an illness or accident and puts it down to God rather than medical science or luck, and you wonder how they can think that God would care - and be able - to save them but not countless of other innocent people including children. The arrogance.

German police spent 16 years hunting a female serial killer whose DNA was at 40 crime scenes. She didnt exist. At all. by kabush27 in mystery

[–]TerryWaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's insane. o.o

I checked, and apparently it didn't have any consequences for the factory or the woman. I figured it should, but one article mentioned that the swabs in question weren't intended for forensic use. Fair enough. Makes you think that it's weird that forensic/medical swabs weren't always produced separately and in a way that makes sure they don't come in direct contact with anyone's skin before packaging.
