    Important context is missing. If traffic is light and you’re cruising in the passing lane at the same speed as the rest of traffic, get out of the passing lane.

    Edit: I’m enjoying the upvote/downvote ratio. 1/4 of people feel justified in creating a rolling roadblock. The other 3/4 of people would like them to change lanes.



  • I understand that drawing doesn’t work that way. What I’m suggesting is that drawing doesn’t work that way because visualizing something in your mind is so far removed from actually seeing it.

    For example, you could imagine that you want to paint a lake with mountains. You can get an idea of how you’ll compose the image, what the colors are, how the strokes might make textures on the canvas, all the details. It’s more than just knowing the facts of each object, color, line. It’s an understanding of how it will look visually and you “picturre it” but it’s nowhere close to the sensory experience of actually looking at the finished painting.

    This is my experience, at least.




  • I should preface this by saying that this is just my opinion and that I may be completely wrong.

    I’m convinced that for 99% of people thinking they have aphantasia, it’s just a miscommunication about what it means to “see” something in your mind. When people picture something in their mind, they can’t literally see it in the way that they would see something with their eyes. Seeing something in your mind is just having an understanding of what it would look like.

    People will say that they can “see” whatever you’re asking them to “picture” but they only ever hold an understanding of what the thing would look like. This understanding can be elaborate but there is not actually an experience that could be perhaps better described as a visual hallucination.

    If you visualize a cube in your mind, you don’t actually see it. You just understand where all the lines, faces, and vertices would be. If you rotate it in your mind, you understand how those angles and the appearance would change at each moment as it rotates. You can even superimpose where these lines would go onto something you’re looking at, but still you don’t actually see it there, you just understand how you would perceive it, where the edges would go, what it would obstruct.

    The reason that I’m convinced that people only hold concepts and visual understanding in their minds and not actual images is that most people are pretty bad at drawing. When people do start drawing, they create a representation of the sparse landmarks that actually made up their visual idea and then they have to start filling in the details using reasoning and logic. Artists and people who practice drawing get better at this, are more attentive to detail and learn techniques to make more convincing images. If people actually saw complete images in their minds, they’d be far easier to recreate and I think everyone would be more artistically inclined.

    Furthermore, unlike “seeing” when you picture something while conscious, I think dreams actually do include visual hallucinations that can seem similar to actual visual perception.


  • I’m far from expert on this but wouldn’t overheating be a significant problem with trying to use these rifles as machine guns?

    I think the psychological effect of the bursts of fire would be strong but 4 ar-15s or m16s aren’t going to be able to sustain a high rate of fire for more than a brief period.


  • He just literally doesn’t give a shit if he is fucking everything up and he’s too stupid to do the right thing.

    The strategy: Put in some shorts, announce Tarrifs, rake in the cash. Buy an obscene amount of stock on margin, announce a reduction in tariffs, rake in the cash.

    The next day: Have Charles Schwab on TV with you to announce how your illegal market manipulation and insider trading have earned the man billions in a day. Every dollar of which was stolen from the retirement of the working class.

    I live in a sea of selfish, undereducated, self-sabotaging, brainwashed Americans who are dumb as fuck.
