  • I’ve always been dyslexic with lefts and rights, or perhaps their names? Even now I have to catch myself most of the time when I say the wrong one.

    I’m a little bad with numbers, that got worse after a head injury, so now I frequently confuse 6s and 8s in addition to the usual ‘was it 2493 or 2349?’ kinda things. As long as I double check my numbers I can do math right, but if it’s just a number sequence, they get a little mixed up.

    Mines very mild though, and I’ve met/seen people that take a solid minute or two to parse it when they’re corrected.

    I know a “NEET of 8 years” who basically won’t try at anything because of this. I kind of feel like its an excuse to be lazy, but I can’t say for sure.

    That could go either way. I’ve heard (from family or friends) of people that have it so severely, they can’t trust themselves enough to accurately read.

    That said, it could also be an easy excuse to avoid trying, but ultimately without consulting or being diagnosed by an expert, you only have their word to go on as to the severity.











  • I’d do a lot of the same, but in different ways. I don’t want to mess up and miss out on my pets and all the other wonderful things that have happened to me, but I would try to live a better/less fucked life.

    Try harder in school, achieve some modicum of success so I’m not such a loser, and fix my biggest, less consequential regrets. Nothing that would be life-changing, but would make me feel less guilty at least. I would do more to help the pets I couldn’t save (2 babies taken too soon) and I would try to just live more, and not be as much of a shut-in homebody.

    Probably try not to become an alcoholic too.


  • Oh yeah I’ve seen it myself. I’d like to move up north to get ahead of it, but there’s national lines to get across and taking my pets would be difficult at best.

    I’ve also been noticing that since I was a kid (90s/00s), back then there was a white winter every singe year in my area. Now we’re lucky if we get any snow at all during winter.

    Then I’ll hear some rube say that ‘global warming isn’t real,’ like what bitch?! Have you not been paying attention?!
