This is apparently always the pattern with a National govt. They take power, lay off a whole bunch of people, realise that they can't enact their policies without staff, then hire contractors who cost significantly more than full time staff and need training. A strategy both cruel and unproductive

Wait, the feel of the rows and columns and just the memory of which numeral is where.
I'm not great at it, but I can do it a bit

And I can do maths in my head, better than most people seem to be able to. Sometimes I visualise the rows and columns of numbers I'm adding and carrying but it's the feel of the numbers, not the numerals

Sometimes when I can't sleep I visualise 1, 2, 3, then 4 over and over, it takes a real effort to actually see them and they are fuuuucked up but I can feel what they look like easily. 3 is especially difficult to see, 4 practically jumps out at me

Pleasantly caving in

"... usually the dimple where the stalk goes..."
coz I'm a perve

Of course I recognize an apple when I see it but I can't picture it beforehand. I mean, if I concentrate hard on imagining an apple I can get flashes of it, usually of the dimple where the stalk goes, but it's not clear. So, a question for you, Earl: can you close your eyes and see the numeral 1? 2?

Nah, ICE got TipTop

He's good isn't he? He saw her need to have local councils explained to her and did it succinctly in a way she might understand. Or not

For example, if stop to think about it I can distinctly recall the crunch and tartness of, say, an 🍏 but I can't see the bloody thing.

The alternate word is "feeling."
I have a feeling for the torn grey shirt with faded homemade Bauhaus print, I know exactly what it looks like but I can't picture it. I can feel the texture of it tho, I can feel how thin the fabric is. Ok I haven't thought about this. I recall texture but not sight

Yeah

Humorous portrayals of others suffering

I bet that stinks the house out

I need to get one of those machines

Nice. I assumed it was something like that. Unless you're a spaceman

Glad I got thru my fanboi stage years ago and switched to a different evil (ish) company. I've said it many times since- fuck Apple

And their tools. Their useful idiots.

Tim Cook thinks his money and whiteness will shield him when the gestapo come for gays.

How are you using these?
