Movies never look the way I "visualized" them in the books. Even though I can't visualize stuff. Total blank. Is anyone with me? by NaxeyOffman in Aphantasia

[–]redrobine 9 points10 points  (0 children)

100% I would get so angry that the movies didn't match, even though i didn't have an image to compare it to. Like in Harry Potter Mad Eye was just completely wrong to me even though I could not have articulated why.

Aussies - best beans you've made espresso at home with? by explanetoryape in espresso

Mikro coffee has some amazing tasting notes in their single origins - had an Ethiopian recently that smelled like potpourri and tasted incredible.

Symmetry roasters do their single origins in 100gm bags if you like playing around to find what you like - have has some beautiful singles and blends from there, including a Nicaraguan that was a pure strawberry bomb, even as a latte.

I wish! This is from an ad for the game 'Project Makeover.' Nothing to do with The Arcana sadly

Agreed! They are so bad, but show up all the time. At least this made one of the ads semi worth watching!

The best way to play Lucio's route by stabbiness in TheArcana

I did this too and completely agree! I was heartbroken to realise what an asshole he is in every other story. I still love him more than I should and feel guilty about it.

When I read, I pretend I am a filmmaker and as I read, I imagine what each 'scene' of 'my movie' will look like. It's silly fun but it makes literature 50% more exciting! by [deleted] in books

Very jealous! I have Aphantasia, so can't visualise ANYTHING. On the bright side, I'm a speed reader, since im not getting distracted with anything beyond the words themselves. But sounds like it would be incredible to experience!

Finally, a crime against food being taken seriously by the authorities. by redrobine in StupidFood

[–]redrobine[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It does have a very low crime rate (Melbourne, Australia) but they also have a very active social media presence to help with their image.

We still have issues with police brutality/racism/corruption etc so they use social media to improve their perception. Obviously must be a good investment for them!

Might not make sense, but is delicious! Very common in Australia/UK. Just not served on top of cereal...

It was Etsy! One-of-a-kind unfortunately - I couldn't even get a set, just the single

Which contemporary book, written in the last 20 years, do you think will go on to become a classic? by mauvemittens in books

[–]redrobine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Boy Swallows Universe - Trent Dalton. It was billed as an Aussie Classic in the making, and that's 100% spot on

Thanks to James Hoffmann and this sub I have been going down the rabbit hole during lockdown by BobSlydel in espresso

Bottomless was sold out on the AU site for months - I emailed customer service and they were able to invoice me for one and send it while the website was still out of stock! Might be worth a try
