on: Aphantasia: 'My mind's eye is blind'
>Dreaming actually activates the visual cortex, so it doesn't depend on imagination.
I thought imagination also depended on the visual cortex. Dreaming and imagining is not too different to me. One is a bit more conscious, that's it.

on: Aphantasia: 'My mind's eye is blind'
My imagination is not the best, but when I am really high on marijuana and I close my eyes, I can imagine alls sorts of absolutely gorgeously bright and photorealistic visuals. I can imagine anything with remarkable photorealism during that state of mind. It's semi autopilot and spontaneous, though. My imagination also becomes very strong right before I'm about to fall asleep. When I'm sober, my imagination takes effort and is hazier, and not creative.
I also want to ask people with Aphantasia, what do their dreams look like?

firefox os had so much potential, now with pwa's being the next big thing, it seem like firefox os could be a game changer. Too bad they killed it.

on: A Design Flaw Behind MacBook Pro’s “Stage Light” Effect [video]
I wanted a macbook pro but then keyboard issues stopped me. I was absloutely sure I would buy the new air, but I had seen some youtube videos where some keys would behave abnormally. So I'm still with my old air. Old one has served me well, and I guess I will just have to do without the retina display.

on: The Squishiest, Sweetest Sleep
I actually cannot sleep in a soft squishy bed. I almost prefer a hard one, probably because I grew up in them. Once I got a really nice memory foam mattress and it is like sleeping in a cloud, but I found out that I don't like sleeping in cloud.

Yeah but those are not adult content. They are undeniably very bad but tumblr is only banning porn.

Thank you for this thread. I had been feeling pretty bad and had a mental block because of too many things piling up. I found some really nice ideas that I hope to try out.

on: Oceans 'soaking up more heat than estimated'
All meat is a incredibly wasteful way to grow food. Plus mass produced meat usually always is harmful to the animal's wellbeing and also due to the way they live in close cramped spaces, there is lot of antibiotic put into their feed to stop diseases. Being vegan is the best but sadly we love meat too much. I am myself no better

on: How WeChat faded into the silence in India
Just my personal observations. I thought we were talking about use of chat apps in India so of course it makes sense for me to talk local. Another personal observation; the tibetan community in india uses wechat, snapchat is very popular among the youth, so is instagram. FB is for old people. The important thing to take away from the article was that
"India is divided into three consumer segments: the first 100 million, mainly the urban or affluent Indians and are the main targets of indulgent e-commerce brands; the second 100 million classified as the aspiring class; and the last a little over a billion — three segments he calls the splurgers, strivers and survivors."
and wechat appealed to none
