I’m close to 40, and actually have a memory that goes uncommonly far back… like, I’ve considered looking up anyone researching memory about it.

According to what I’ve read, I shouldn’t really remember things too much before 5 (other than episodic and false memories?). But I can still draw the layouts of the first two houses I lived in (first one I moved before 3, the second one I moved shortly after 3). And I can verify that the layouts I remember are pretty accurate. I can remember where furniture was, who’s room was what, and other little memories like putting salt on a bunch of slugs, crying about not being allowed to trick-or-treat, being afraid of my own shadow once?.. strangely far back and more vivid than just flashes of pictures

I also am highly suspicious that I’m somewhere on the spectrum (maybe mixed with ADHD, hard to parse that out). I used to toe-walk as a kid, audio processing issues, below-average facial recognition; it kinda all started adding up the more I considered it

I’m supposed to start therapy again soon and will probably need to see psych about my ADHD meds when I go — so I guess we’ll see what they think. But figured I’d throw my experience into the bag here as well, cause it’s intrigued me for a while

TL;DR - my childhood memory seems to be a little uncommon

Found this video in my search for the original “Polka dot dress” video

And we love to see it

Anyone got the original video? I only saw a link for an EDM-Version via the article

I had never heard of the pinecil before, thank you! I’ll keep that saved for when I want to upgrade my dinky little iron

Echoic memory! Gotta be quick, ya only got a few seconds to hit that replay button

I like your style. Notes taken

Probablemente tenga una configuración de idioma incorrecta

I second your recommendation, Nino Kuni is awesome!

Well ya got one, I have it saved to my watch list. Gonna see if I get time to watch it tonight. Plus it’s a horror movie, and it’s only like an hour long… perfect

After searching, I am now aware of the film “Freaks”, from 1932. I’ll have to take a watch

I always knew it from “South Park”, assumed it was a reference to something else, and never inquired more until now

That being said; maybe just adding a disclaimer to check out the movie “Freaks” would be cool (for those who aren’t aware of the origins). But I wouldn’t always choose to use the “Original Movie Gif”, because there’s so many great variations

A disclaimer would be cool to encourage people to watch the original (just for ‘learning purposes’ at some point), but I wouldn’t knock someone for not disclaiming it. I would probably just reply to them that “the original movie from where that came from is really worth watching”

Unless I watch it and the movie ends up being hot garbage… then I won’t disclaim nor comment about it. Only time will tell, what my feelings will be after I give it a watch. Thank you though for the insight, cause I’m now excited to watch this old, crazy-seeming film. It looks good

Shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

Also, what’s going on with the Epstein Files? Ya know, while we’re on the subject of “Dead Cat Theory”

Not trying to lessen your point, but people do be dying from sepsis all of the time still. Granted, we do have way better treatment and protocols, but it’s a fast killer if not caught in time and a lot of different things can cause sepsis

But polio, for sure way better. Never seen anyone with polio before irl

Also stroke treatment. Wayyyy better now than before. We didn’t really have anything except aspirin until the 90’s, and now we’re straight up removing the clots from the brain (when we can). It’s kind of wild how much stroke treatment has improved in 30 years

“You got the brains god promised a crowbar”

Instead of: ‘your mom’, ‘that’s what she said’, ‘title of your sex tape’, etc… I just say, “jokes”.

Doesn’t matter what the joke is, but what was said definitely has a joke in there somewhere. It’s an implied innuendo, and it’s mostly for my own amusement

“I’m giving 'er all she’s got!!!” = “Jokes”

They’re decreasing the food, so they gotta increase the circus

If the GOP left voluntarily, we could save a LOT more than a third… it’s not even comparable

Well, you just saved me a bunch of time trying to figure out how to auto-update my humble little server. Granted, I only have Plex and Samba Share right now, but I like the principle. Hell, an update once blanked my smb config file for whatever reason

Now auto-backups are another thing; because I would like to use a .tar file, but then it leads me down a rabbit hole because I don’t know how to repair Grub if needed for a restore, or what Grub really even is vs Bios… I’ve just been learning as I go

I’m a few weeks away from getting a couple parts for an upgrade, and then it’ll be some fun. I want to redo it from scratch and maybe set up proxmox and change my file system to zfs, then start looking at docker, figure out Jellyfin and look at some ARR stuff… maybe tailscale or headscale. Idk, it’s just fun cause it’s a hobby. I just haven’t had the storage or ram really, but soon

Thank you! Seems more news oriented, but I’ll take it

Edit:

we don’t have regular discussion posts yet and so it’s mostly news articles

I managed to skim that part, so I guess I restated what you clearly just said… that’s my bad, but still thank you! Now following… guess I’ll repost my meme there for funsies
