This reminds me of Inconstant Moon by Larry Niven! Time for a reread.

RiverGhost@slrpnk.netto BestOfLemmy@lemmy.world•u/loaExMachina explains the worst scene in EvangelionEnglish27·5 months agoI mostly like the last paragraph about trauma just making you fucked up in the head.
My tinnitus sounds like the insects I could hear at night when I was younger in the tropics.
I don’t live there anymore and the tinnitus feels comforting because of it. It doesn’t distress me at all.
RiverGhost@slrpnk.netto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?1·7 months agoAll these details were present from only reading the title:
A very large and heavy marble that you’d need to pick up with both hands to hold. A man was already there keeping a hand on the marble, to prevent it from rolling on the wooden table. The table is simple, square and has 4 legs. I know what the marble would sound like if it were to roll, bumping over the little imperfections. This is happening indoors, but there’s some natural light coming through. The table is relatively close to the edge of a room but you can still approach the table from all sides. The room is mostly undefined besides that. The man is not too detailed, I have a vague awareness of what he is like, but more like a gestalt of him.
After reading the prompt: The man rolled the ball with a soft push. It produced the expected sound and then he stopped it again before it fell. I felt anxiety when the ball rolled, and was relieved when it was stopped. I want to put it on soft cloth so that we can stop worrying about it rolling off the table. There’s soft cloth nearby, and it’s purple felt.
I have hyperfantasia.
RiverGhost@slrpnk.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I think I am socially ostrasized, what should I do?14·9 months agoA quick test for this is, are you good at making a good first impression or short time of friendship and then it kinda falls off with time? If yes, masking is likely in play.
Can confirm. This is my entire life.
I’m groaning so hard while feeling really happy at the same time, it hurts. Thanks.
Vad har det med Sverige att göra? As a Spanish speaker, that’s just one its meanings in Spanish.
I’m 37 and I can never get a parrot. :(
But a parrot could get me for a little while.
All the time. My life has been pretty good when it comes to external circumstances, but I have a severe lifelong mood disorder.
So I’m constantly feeling bad and there’s never any ‘reason’.

Same in Sweden, it’s understood that it’s going to suck and you’ll be uncomfortable but that it’ll pass. It’s a given for a lot of people here that it won’t be a problem to stop working while sick. Just rest and small comfort measures (for me, nose spray, ibuprofen if needed, sleeping and whining to myself).
I am the dad when I’m outside and the mom when I’m inside. It’s so hard to get myself out of the blankets, but once outside I’m so happy with all the refreshing snow.
I’m continuously confused about why they think they are free, or at least uniquely free? What does the moon even have to do with that supposed freedom?
Getting a CAT scam.
