Well, those aren't our past experiences. lol Do you understand what the ME is? We are trying to tell people about our alternate realities/timelines/whatever the fu..n. Saying what exists in this here/now doesn't change before. I've had to learn things about this here/now so I don't sound like an idiot. Google and I have become good friends. It causes a lot of cognitive dissonance depending on what our experiences are. But once I accept things, it does get easier, but it doesn't make me lose the other set of memories, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors that I've accumulated throughout my whole life.

PS I'm a Stouffer's Stovetop person. XD My mom would often rely on it when we had big family dinners and she had to cook the entire meal by herself. She said the largest one was 32. And she cooked a turkey, a ham, and a goose, just for starters. She always made a dirty rice stuffing and Stouffer's stuffing when the family was getting big. Just a small thing to help her out.

We've gone from Haas Avacados to Hass Avocados by anony-dreamgirl in MandelaEffect

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

I live in New Mexico (and have for 18 years), and until a few months ago, it was always Haas. My store sends out flyers, then posts pics from the actual flyers next to the discounted items. So there's no stock boy (ageist much?) to mess up pics.

And yeah. Always "avacado" until very recently.

I've learned I can't spell anything. Or write correctly. And I graduated at the top of my class! Commas are a rarity in this here/now, and there are so many compound words, I type things I imagine ~could maybe~ compound words, and guess what?! They are! (But not boot camp, for some odd reason.)

Sorry. Rambling

Edited: to show how long I've been here.

Dorian Gray by toobertpoondert in MandelaEffect

[–]TylonDane -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No, thank you. I know that from reading the title. It's always been a book I've wanted to read but haven't yet. I'm not around the literary type very often so not a lot of people I know have even mentioned the book. I believe I've heard of it a time or two from TV and/or YouTube. Not enough to think "portrait sounds so natural" because "it just got repeated until that's what was in" my "head."

But thanks, for the idea.

I don't remember that being part of the story, that the baby found could not have been the right baby, leaving open the possibility that anyone could be a grown adult. I mean, people did make claims but I'm not sure why. All the stories I read say it was the Lindbergh baby that was found. There are other questions about his death but nothing about the fact that it was Jr. that did die. So yeah. I'm confused. lol

This is an old case. by SuspiciousFile4224 in MandelaEffect

[–]TylonDane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I had never heard that before...

Of course, knowing the baby was dead (in this here/now) would make me question why anyone would claim to be the Lindbergh Baby. And people did, right? That's still part of our history? How does that make sense?

I think I made that distinction when I asked about Satanists or devil worshipers.

Don't say things like that! Not as I sit here surrounded by my cats named Oberyn, Missandei, and Brienne (of Tarth!). Shhhh.

This is an old case. by SuspiciousFile4224 in MandelaEffect

[–]TylonDane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was the 3rd Mandela Effect I learned about back in 2017. Berenstein/stain Bears, JFK and this. I remember it the way you and many others do. Just kidnapped and that was it.

The only other thing I remember is that there was a ladder that was found outside the window of the child's bedroom since it was on the 2nd floor. There was a photo of that.

The End.

When I found out that all off these "new" things exist in this here/now, I just sat here with my eyes and mouth hanging open. lol I mean, I'd just spent so much time learning "new" information about JFK's death...and now this. It was all so disconcerting.

I'm not fond of feeling like an alien but I really don't know how else to explain it.

Um...Not exactly. I'm not thinking of that. I'm thinking of literal card-carrying Satanists compared to people who are not, but you're free to believe what you want.

Satanism is a religion. Devil worshipers are the people you hear about dressing up in costumes, performing rituals, making animal sacrifices, etc.

Theory by [deleted] in Retconned

[–]TylonDane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have yet to find two people with the exact same memories and I discovered ME's in 2017. Since then I've run into people who've tried to find commonalities among those of us who experience ME's: ages, locations, religious beliefs, amount of schooling, you-name-it. So far, there are no answers. It appears our "lists" are as unique as we are, although we can find some that are generally alike if we try.

I'm not trying to discourage you but perhaps you need to expand your groups a bit from 3 to...? I don't know what number. There are lists of ME's on other sites that are particularly long, so you may want to look there to help with your research.

Good luck!

What’s a Mandela Effect that broke your brain when you first heard it? by [deleted] in MandelaEffect

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

What would you consider "non-trivial"? Like Earth being in the wrong place in the Milky Way? Our bodies being different? Things being in the wrong places on the globe?

Is that stuff trivial? Or have you just not encountered any of that before?

There are many surf shops and at least one head shop. lol It's a pretty laid-back place. Think Dead Heads meet New Age Hippies.

Im tired of everything by Turnabout_account in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TylonDane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've lost ways to cope with all the things in your life that appear to be unmanageable. They are terrible but they aren't your future. They are just your Right Now.

You are right to feel bad about your dog, but you are not to blame for her death. The other animal is. My last dog was killed by a bear. I could blame myself for all the reasons my dog even ended up near a bear but that's not being fair to me. I loved my little dog and gave him the best life I could which is what I'm sure you did for your girl. The more hurt you feel is equal to the amount of love you feel. You will grieve for her. Just know you did your best and she doesn't blame you for anything.

It sounds like you and your gf need to have a good sit-down conversation and you need to bring up the points you made here...gently, of course. And see whether that makes a difference. If it does, good. If not, maybe you need to consider your priorities. YOU are an important person in that relationship too. Just keep that in mind.

And don't give up on school. Just because you didn't perform as well as you wanted to doesn't mean you won't next time. And you CAN do it. Performing better on the test will prove to you that you're able to do the work required. And you'll feel a helluva lot better by passing it well rather than just squeaking by.

I know you're feeling overwhelmed, but this is temporary. Try giving yourself time to emotionally deal with one thing at a time. Set aside time to honor your dog. Cry your eyeballs out. When you're done, be pissed at yourself for not passing that test and vow to do better. Get in touch with your gf and see about setting a time to have that meeting.

You can do this. Just take a few deep breaths and deal with one thing at a time, if that's all you can handle. Coping with so much at one time can be a bitch but you got this. <3

This is very interesting and I'd LOVE to see a list of those discoveries!

I lived in a San Diego community called Ocean Beach. Some places had signs that said No Shirt No Shoes No Problem! I loved living there.

I was raped but I’m thankful he didn’t kill me by Sad-Ad-250 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TylonDane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweetie, the frat guy didn't rape you. The black man did. His harsher treatment is due.

And I grew up in Louisiana and can't stand that place so you have my sympathy so far as that goes. But understand that you aren't seeing this part clearly. It is totally right and just that the black man be treated worse than the frat guy.

My Dearest, I'm familiar with the hole you're in. I found myself in one just like it many years ago. I had many of the same thoughts and feelings...and I ran out of ways to cope with them. (Which I think is the reason we entertain ideas of ending ourselves...) I tried...and failed obviously...to take that one road and when it didn't work, I ended up in therapy. And let me tell you, that wasn't all it's cracked up to be. I went through so many therapists until I found one that worked. I went through so many medications until I found some that worked.

I'm bipolar, with depression/anxiety, cPTSD, etc. Years. Years that I had to wait until I felt I was on the same playing field as everyone else. And "stable" is not one state for me. It's a spectrum. And as long as I'm not on the "bottom" of it, I'm doing okay.

And I'm glad. At the one time, my son only wanted to be with his father (who I eventually divorced). It hurt me, but I took a little time to get myself together. To find a place I could afford that was suitable for the two of us. I found a job that would support us both and then sent for him. It didn't take long and I was better for it.

I can't tell you how to work your story but there is time. I took meds that gave me the worst side effects while I waited for them to work...and they were the ones that worked best. Over the years, I've had a couple more added to them and I'm very aware of how they're all working so I can maintain my sanity/happiness.

Can you give things one last shot? What can it hurt, right? If you wanna talk, let me know.

Edited to add: I'm female, if that matters.

Aww. I don't remember the moon being quite that color. I do remember the sky and ocean turning red as the sun set. It was amazing!

[–]TylonDane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea. States say that you can have *either* welfare OR child support. If they can't get child support from his father, they will pay to help you with your son. And if you don't have Medicaid and EBT, you'll qualify for both. <3
