#communication gap

[spiderace]

So, I was talking with my mother and trying to explain a meme saying raccoons are trash pandas. Then she stopped me dead by saying, "Is that real?"

"What?"

"Is that a real animal?"

I was utterly flummoxed, but tried to answer the question as asked.

"Yes, a raccoon is a real animal. We have them here."

She immediately demanded to know if I thought she was an idiot, OBVIOUSLY she knows RACCOONS are real.

I fumbled around verbally for a while and eventually ascertained that she was asking if "trash pandas" were a real and separate animal from raccoons. Apparently she regards my memes as "a fantasy world," so she is never sure if any animal I describe is on the level of Autism Cat or Pallas Cats.

I could then further explain that "trash panda" was a descriptive nickname, like "cat snake" or "cobra chicken."

I then had to ALSO explain, in the face of ongoing indignance, that I did not think she was crazy, I did not understand the question correctly. I regularly, like almost every day, have someone ask a question that makes zero sense to me. Then I have to try to give a rational answer to what appears to be a question about if raccoons are real or why do buses have wheels or why am I wearing a shirt.

Because I can just say "I don't understand the question," and sometimes I do, but that never produces good results. It's like they've just said "what color?" As I was in a buffet line, and it sounds to me like they're asking what color the chicken is. If I say I don't understand, they'll just say it again but less patiently. If I say "light brown?" Then they might think I'm an idiot or a smartass, but at least they will be forced to clarify that they want to know if I want a blue or green tray.

Why do I care about tray color? I do not know and I will never know. Or I will get charged more because a green tray indicates a different price category that indicates I want to include the sushi bar. It could go either way.

Being around people is exhausting. Even when it's people I love, at some point my brain is going to fail to correctly interact with what someone's trying to tell or ask me. Then I'm going to have to try and navigate toward a meaning that is obvious to them but impenetrable to me.

This is also why texting or internet is easier. I less often have to try and correctly parse if someone is looking at a different part of the environment than I am or asking about a different part of something I said than the part I intended to be important.

Phonetics vs. Clarity: The Schwa Debate Across Languages

The schwa, ironically named "nothing" in Hebrew, can cause quite the stir. This barely-there sound might seem insignificant, but drop it in the wrong place, and you’ve got a big Hindi vs Tamil debate to deal with. Turns out, “nothing” really is something!

Language is an evolving entity, shaped by cultural and phonetic shifts. One of the most interesting phenomena in linguistics is the deletion of the schwa sound, especially in Hindi and other Indo-Aryan languages. Isn’t it ironic that something literally called “nothing” in Hebrew—schwa—can cause so much controversy? Despite its name, this tiny, unstressed vowel sound has sparked more linguistic…

Diagnostic Challenges for Men with Fibromyalgia

Diagnosing fibromyalgia in men presents unique challenges that can lead to under diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Here’s an investigation into these difficulties, including potential biases in healthcare: 1. Gender stereotypes: – Fibromyalgia is often perceived as a “women’s disease,” leading to potential oversight in male patients. – Healthcare providers may be less likely to consider fibromyalgia as…

100,000 dollars is not a lot of money.

it is also a lot more money than i will ever have. my student loans make up half of that - they're coming back, i'm told, like we all bounced back recently. the other day while paying for gas to go to work, i overdrew my account without knowing it.

i sat in the car and looked at the charge and tried to do the math. where the fuck is the money even going? i don't live extravagantly. i live in a hole in the ground, in an apartment the size of a sneeze; covered in ants. yes, i wanted to live close to a population center. maybe that's my fault. i've downloaded the apps and i've spoken to the experts and i've cut back on excess. i can't help the pharmacy bills or the medical debt.

i have a good, well-paying job. when i googled it to see if i was getting a fair salary, i found out i'd be making "upper middle class" money. which doesn't make sense - is "upper middle class" now just "able to afford a one-bedroom without a roommate". when i was younger, upper-middle meant a nice big house and a backyard and vacations and not flinching about eating at a resturant.

i was talking to my friend who is a realtor. he said 100,000 dollars is extremely cheap for housing. he's not wrong. 100,000 dollars would change my life. 100,000 dollars also won't really buy you anything. it could get you out of debt, potentially, if you were lucky and had a certain amount of scholarships to tack onto your degree. you could pay off the car and then have enough left over for "spending" money. how fucking amazing. one vacation, maybe two if you're thrifty. and then - like magic - the money would evaporate into nothing. people would sigh and tell you see, you should have put it into savings! like "upper middle class" people can't afford to value "actually living" over squirrelling wealth. you should spend your life only in scarcity. like that is what made the rich people all their real "actually a lot of money".

100,000 dollars would literally set me free. it also would just set me back to "earning normally" instead of paying down debt into infinity. god, do you know how many of us just want that? that our first thought is we could stop scrambling and just be free of debt if we won the lottery? that we don't even necessarily need to stop working - we just wouldn't have to worry about failing or falling?

and. at the same time. 100,000 dollars is next to fucking nothing.

Can you marrying someone older indicators?

Ever since I found out my future spouse will be at least 7 years older than me, I had a compiled list of these in the back of my mind. (Also because I have a few friends who are into significantly older men TT)

Do you think Toothless ever grumbles and is sarcastic in his internal monologue and then goes: "Great. I must be exhausted I'm starting to sound like Hiccup."

Hiccup building a gadget in the forge two meters away: "Did you just make fun of me?"

Toothless grumbling about how it's a long time past midnight and they should be asleep, can't Hiccup tinker in the morning or something

Hiccup: "No one is forcing you to be here, Toothless."

Toothless howls at the other and glares. Hiccup glares back. They're having a glaring contest at two in the morning.

Moments later, Berk's heir is being dragged back to the hut by his sleeve by a dark creature that almost blends into the shadows save for annoyed vivid green eyes as the boy argues with the Unholy Offspring of Lightning and Death Itself in hushed grumbles.

DAY 71: shy

[ickytreats]

Perv older neighbor who finally gets to fuck me. He’s so much older and has no shame pounding away at my poor cunt. I’m so tight, so inexperienced, he can’t help but moan and groan. It’s so messed up, I am way younger.

Maybe your wife encourages it. She's the one who tricked me into it. I can feel your wedding ring on me as you hold me in the position you like.

Hi!

Since you did older spouse indicators, can you make a post about younger spouse indicators please? ♡

I knew this one was coming, so I came prepared! From 1-3 years younger to Milf manor & Leonardo DiCaprio standards (slightly illegal) lol. Older spouse indicators post.

imagine your f/o...

... going on a scenic train ride with you! the two of you could get a private sleeper car together and take in the view while you ride along the tracks for hours. sometimes you sit in silence while staring out the window, occasionally speaking up to point out some beautiful sight on the horizon. other times you're laughing together, sharing a meal, or falling asleep leaning on each other. the gentle hum of the train car and the beautiful sights make your f/o sure that there's no other way they'd want to spend their time than doing something so special beside you ❦︎
