Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing Puns

Context: She's a DM (I don't play), and loves writing fiction. I'm more about the timeline aspects and how this sci-fi fits into this very plausible world. I understand where she's coming from, like how Boardwalk Empire or House made everything about their central characters instead of (in this case) the actual fringe science and their various areas of study.

She did admit S3-4 were better than expected, but was still calling it a "sci-fi soap opera" by the beginning of S4. Which I'm not denying, I'm enjoying the hell out of myself the whole way through, both reliving the show and enjoying her inner crises as a writer. Here's an excerpt from the last episode we watched:

Her - "Honey... Even if those guns could potentially kill Observers, the fact that human timing just can't match theirs, so how is a gunfight possible, let alone the fact she just made a quip before shooting him."

Me - "Oh, that? It's the residual effects of Olivia's cortexaphan rubbing off on her family, dear"

Her - ... takes a shot, then a shit REEEEEEE

Obvious troll, but... Thoughts? What should I tell her for the last 12 episodes (serious or not)

Edit: Did some digging, turns out I probably have hyperphantasia, and not sound-image syne! But feel free to have a look at a me a few hours/gazillion years ago attempting to explain my is-it-a-brain-anymore.

edit 2: Actually, probably hella strong imagination.

So when I listen to music, I can sometimes, instead of the usual lines and shapes, see animated “videos” in my mind’s eye. I can switch between them if I want to, but it often gets a bit muddled. I took the syne finder test on the Synesthesia Tree site, it said “sound-image”, or, to quote the actual title, “figurative images as a synesthetic concurrent”. My mind kinda creates storylines for the music and plays it out, and sometimes these storylines are so good or sad or dramatic I linger on them; a couple nights ago I was stuck awake thinking and building around the video/story for Subwoofer Lullaby by C418, in which a battle happens between people in outer space, and aliens, during which a person who I just KNOW is the captain - his battleship gets blown up by the aliens, and a person who I just KNOW is the co-captain and the captain’s wife sends rescue ships and then watches the captain die and everyone’s really sad. And then sad outer-space funeral??? Idk what the hell is up with my mind, don’t ask. It seemed less insane and more sad in my mind. Will edit if I have more to add.

Btw - sometimes my mind feels so ”full”, my forehead or the kind of point at the back of my head feels like it’s getting pushed, like all the what-the-actual-fuck-is-it-anymore is trying to get out through there. Is that normal, or more weird shit about my brain?

also feel free to ask for more details!

What are the major pains (things that annoy you) and gains (reasons why you like it) about your instrument?

What do you consider yourself as? (Pianist, Keyboardist, DJ, At-home music maker, Synth enthusiast, Live Performer, etc).

How many instruments do you play/own? What are those instruments?

Do you have a price range that you stay within when buying keyboards? What is that price range?

What are the major things that you look for or avoid when purchasing a new keyboard-style instrument?

And finally, could you describe YOUR IDEAL, FANTASY keyboard-based instrument? What if you could design it yourself with any features you want?

Last time I did this you guys were super helpful to me so I figured I'd give it another shot. Thank you in advanced for your help!

Where I’m at, we have rain that’s turning into an ice storm tomorrow, with predictions of 0.5 inches of freezing rain prior to turning into snow. It’s as if my body can sense the barometric changes, and pain levels go through the roof. This crazy weather seeks to be impacting most of the US, so how are you feeling, and what else are you doing to cope?

I don't know but in the last 2 weeks I've been feeling terrible, but in the moral way. I feel like a horrible person for no reason, I feel like everybody hates me and people just forget about my existence. Nothing happened, I just feel empty and alone. I don't know what's going on with me, but it's not alright and I've never felt like this before the whole quarantine thing.

Am I the only one who feels like this?

My fiancé and I were just thinking of dropping the venue, the decorators and the DJ. Our wedding is next October. We were just chatting about the wedding and such things when I expressed my disappointment that our venue’s sound system is broken (no word on when - or if- it will be fixed). My fiancé noted that it’s kindof BS that the venue originally told us about their Super Cool Sound System and didn’t even bother to mass email the brides/other event planners to let us know. My friend has also been at the venue for golf tournaments (its a golf course) and she says the food is pretty bad.

This (and a couple other things) made me rethink the whole wedding. My in-laws are very nice people, they love me and their son more than anything. I suggested to my MIL that we could potentially move the wedding to their house. They have a wonderful property on a lakefront with a large yard. They’ve also held parties at their house before (Canada day, New Years, Christmas, etc.) so this wouldn’t be their first rodeo either. Cancel the venue, the decorators and the DJ and save some money. I do feel terrible even just suggesting it though…. However, she seems to at least want to explore the idea. I’m quoting catering and rental places to see how much we save for now. I won’t actually cancel anything until we actually have a plan. I’m making sure the money we lose on deposits is saved with this new plan.

I just feel like a complete crazy person for wanting to basically redo the whole wedding. Honestly I just wanted to vent here, but advice is not unwelcome.

It’s seriously getting out of hand at this point. This whole Brie Larson thing has absolutely convinced me that the anti-sjw is becoming just as bad as the SJW. I’m reading headlines that Brie said that she wants to kill all white men and that she hates all white men. Now if this were true, then I’d be outraged as well. But she has never said anything like this.

Are we really at the point now that we’re just going to claim someone said something like this when we damn well know they didn’t? If you’re offended by her comments that’s fine (though if someone could please explain why that would be nice) but don’t start spreading lies to drive your narrative. Unless I’m missing something here.

Credit to u/SirPikaPika for the idea

My mom checked my phone and read my texts with my gf and found out all the stuff we've been doing, they're very religious and are furious with me. We've also been doing unconventional things like anal and we have a list of sexual activity we want to do and we're working through it and now my parents know everything and saying they might tell my gf's parents.

My dad says I'm being a pervert and that I'm abusing my gf and devaluing her by doing those things.

They believe in waiting to marriage.

It's a fucking mess.

Tell me your normal stories.

It was triggered by the moderators basically ignoring Yang at the November debate and the fact he got basically no speaking time compared to the other candidates. But one of the things I like about Yang is how short concise and to the point he is. He doesn’t bullshit half an answer to a question mixed with a rehearsed joke and a campaign slogan. He gives substance in short enough bites to be understood and effective. My point is obviously with more questions and attention at the debate he would’ve had more speaking time but given his style I think he still would’ve been near the bottom of the list and I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

I’ll be posting the reviews on my YouTube channel :)
