The smartass who lives in my head answered: "I used to, but then I started jogging. Now I have a svelte gut."

Ticklish is a state of mind, for me. In the right setting, with the right person, I'm very ticklish. When I'm feeling guarded (most of the time) I'm not ticklish.

I run a room air conditioner year-round, so I can sleep with a heavy quilt on my bed.
I installed solar partly so I don't feel guilty about running an air conditioner year-round.

On the flip side, I get more weirded out by those impossible drawings. This one, of an impossible set of stairs, can make my eyes cross if I look at it too long, or study it too hard.

Ah - OK. I score high on that. I used to not understand how someone could see a blue print and not know exactly what the finished product would look like. I currently work in an engineering field, and it's useful.

Now I'm wondering what a "rotation task" is.
What something would look like if it was rotated on an axis?

That we're radically egocentric

And now you're doubling down. Yeah, that pretty much tells me who you are.

"A detailed infodump is selfish."

It's possible this is just me, and I read this at the wrong time, but...

Calling it selfish seems more than a little judgmental and negative. One of those words that leads to after-the-fact self-flagellation because we did it wrong, not the way NTs do it, we're terrible, awful people. That seems unnecessary.

Mine usually get to the pain point. 2-3 hours after the aura starts, I have to be curled up in a blacked-out room, hoping to die. This one left me with a mild headache for a couple of days, but I had ataxia and vertigo so bad I had to crawl from my car to the house, I couldn't stand up. If I'd been further away from home, I don't know what would have happened.

I only get migraines every couple of years, so I hope it doesn't happen often.

We had an earthquake today, in the middle of our hurricane, but what I'm wondering if any of us work at Google, making Android sounds.
I've never heard my phone do an emergency alert for earthquakes before. The amber alerts are evil - like the atonal ones they do over the air. The earthquake alert is a happy little chime. OK, a happy REALLY LOUD chime. But it's a chime, not a "OMG the world is ending!!!" sound. I kind of like it.

@darkfox

My month of medical drama started out like that, but ended with me in the ER and a lot of follow-up appointments. Both the neurologist and the ENT specialists have diagnosed it as a cochlear migraine. I'd had migraines all my life, but this was a new one for me.

@gknauss

I didn't know my phone made that sound, and I was just getting out of the shower.
