  • I have aphantasia, and people really struggle to comprehend what it means or what it’s like. Now to be fair, I don’t really comprehend how people without aphantasia think or process things either.

    1. Were your front forks resting on the ground, or up in the air?

    No idea, all I could think was that the front tire was missing, it didn’t occur to me to think how that affected the bikes position.

    1. Was there any other damage done to your bike or to the lock?

    I didn’t think about there being any damage.

    1. Are there any other bikes nearby? People nearby? Security cameras that might have caught the crime?

    I had just thought of a bike rack with only my bike, no people or other bikes nearby. Looking for security cameras seems obvious now that you mention it, but I didn’t think of that. If you had said “what advice would you give if your friend walked out and found their bike had been stolen/vandalized” I probably would have thought of that, but trying to think of an abstract situation is much more difficult for me.

    Just fine is pushing it, we are capable but not particularly good.
    We need specific plant parts grown on purpose to be consumable (fruit, nuts, …), or we need cooking.

    And what wild animals can we eat raw and uncooked better than plants?

    Why don’t we see the same language used on victimised men?

    Are men victimized systemically and threatened physically to the same extent women are? Feminists speaking up for women’s issues doesn’t preclude men from speaking up for men’s issues, but lo and behold, men don’t have the same issues as a population that women do, and it’s not feminists’ job to speak up for them anyway.

    Edit: I misunderstood, see reply.
