@breakthrough48 You think so? Imagine not having any visuals at all, no ability to see even the pleasant things or really just even know what it's like. I'd kind of like to be able to have some imagery in my head!

I have total aphantasia. About 1% of the population has this. It means I have no ability to see images in my head. Zero. Total blackness. I can't see my children's faces when they are away, but I also can't be traumatized with PTSD/intrusive visuals. I also cannot daydream. Though I can dream visually while sleeping - about half of total aphantasics can still dream in visuals so I guess I'm lucky there. Fiction books are painful as I can't visualize the story at all. There are no colors. No visuals. No imagery. I get total blackness on any dose of psilocybin. But ketamine gives me amazing experiences that are also unique to being aphantasic. At the same time, I process data at a blistering pace and it drives me nuts when the rest of the world is so much slower. Normal persons will take in data, render imagery, filter the details, then take action... I simply take in the data and take action after near immediate processing. There is no imagery, no rendering delay. This is extremely apparent when I'm around others in person. I've learned to calm down and wait, which is hard as aphantasics are notoriously impatient and easily frustrated by this. Trying to train someone at the office is agonizing due to the processing speed differences. My wife has learned deal with it and understand my frustrations - and I work hard to remain calmer! Funny as well, when people giving a speech try and draw out visuals with metaphors and superficial details, we also become really impatient "get to the point man"... As it's agonizing stripping away all the visual nonsense that we can't process. I haven't figured out of it's a gift or a curse, either. One of my kids has it, the other doesn't. It's good to know, as it's helpful to understand why reading is so painful for my aphantasic kid as one example. Anyways, hope this was interesting!

For those proposing banning the Sikh kirkpan on the basis of “one rule for all”. Would that also not apply to the Scottish sgian dubh worn in a sock as part of traditional Highland dress? It’s also exempt but for cultural not religious reasons.

@SkyNews perpetrators (London Assembly data) - GPS knife tagging cohort: ~47% Black Young Black males (~3% London pop) heavily overrepresented in knife homicides/offending. Higher Black stop/search & taser rates track higher violent/weapon offending rates per MoJ & Met data. Disparities

"You're essentially between four and five times more likely to be stopped and searched if you're Black. You're...more likely to be subjected to the use of taser if you're Black than if you're white." In the wake of the murder of Henry Nowak, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accused British policing of being "two-tier" - believing there's a bias against white people. Speaking to Sky's #ThisIsWhy podcast, Professor Clifford Stott explains to @skynewsniall what the data actually says. Listen to more here: podfollow.com/thisiswhy

His argument would have landed so well if he knew how to control his emotions. He was better off being calm but hitting Ben with the same facts than all that hip hop behaviour.

@Cryptozoologis7 If this was true, pilots and FAs would have a higher cancer burden than the rest of the population. Which they don’t, except for melanoma, which can be easily explained by the UV exposure through cockpit windows.

This is absolutely wrong, CT scans do not cause cancer. One CT scan equals the radiation dose of roughly one year as a long haul pilot or FA, because you are also exposed to radiation up in the air above 30000 feet. We need CTs for staging of almost every cancer, especially lung cancer for example, as an MRI is not useful here. If you don’t have a CT scan every day, your patient journey as a cancer patient will most likely never see a total radiation dose more than that of a pilot’s career. And we don’t see a cancer pandemic amongst pilots and FAs.

Dr. Nolan: "If you can catch most of these cancers early, that's what's important… Use things like MRI, not CT scans, because CT scans are known to cause cancer."

I still haven't solved the CO2 bedroom challenge You open the window and you wake up from a 6am garbage truck or barking dogs and sunlight You close it, you suffocate in 1200 ppl at 5am I guess you really need some mini tube in your wall with a vent that opens and closed based on internal CO2 but how do I build that?

Would you? Or maybe Norwitz is just full of it😂 I've hit 6.5 on a PUFA-minimizing diet.. maybe those people are just wrong. All my tallow/cream homies are hitting 5-6 regularly. Mostly I just like to shit on fish eaters. The oil in sardines has got to be the lowest quality there is... remember, 75% of the ENTIRE OLIVE OIL MARKET is fraudulent. What are the chances sardine oil is in the lucky 25%? Oh, also: seed oils is how they induce diabetes in lab models. Your glucose being higher & ketones lower.. makes sense?

Listen to this 😵‍💫 Dr Hilary had ‘the virus everyone has had over Xmas’ (no, not all Hilary 😷) which gave him pneumonia & pericarditis & blue lighted to hospital. Why is he laughing about it?? Trying to normalise heart issues from viruses rather than telling people to prevent.
