My stomach appears to have stopped tolerating solid food. Hopefully it's temporary, because what the fuck.

Try unwrapping it first

I tried to unwrap the chocolate from the whopper and it was good, but then you just get to the horrid plastic center and everything is awful again.

But insixe of whopper like heaven?? But maltaser like cardboard??
Lo siento, no entiendo?

Are we talking about the candy, or the fast food burger?

The candy. A chocolate covered BK Whopper would be one of the more vile things conceived.

Why are people in fiction REALLY good at picking out where people are looking?

People aren't even that good at picking out what you are pointing at...

Well it may just be me and you Neo, because people are great at picking up where I am looking whenever I don't want them to. I've been politely informed that I had a crush on someone despite going thoroughly out of my way to avoid giving any such impression, because my eyes - apparently - gave it away.

And yet when giving instruction people's capacity to do so seems to take its leave of them. Alas.

Ah, gotcha. I just came in on the last couple of posts about "Team Whopper" and was slightly confused.

Considering the phrasing... did you have one? You didn't say you didn't. But all the same, it's quite presumptuous to tell someone that.

oh! oh! There's a term for this in horror movies where something jumps out of a place that we cannot see from the viewpoint of the audience but is definitely within the characters view.

I suddenly cant find it on Google.

Ok here is what I mean... Fill a dinner table full of things, brimming.

now... with your back turned to someone tell them what you want is "Over there" and simply look, without over gesturing.

This can be hilarious!

I remember one where this woman finds a corpse but doesn't react... UNTIL she points it towards the camera.

Of all the things to start randomly hallucinating, it seems my brain has decided see through wall spiders of improbable size is the way to go. Why that's what it's decided is a good choice for sporadic visual distortions I don't know. Why it's pretty much only that outside the standard visual snow, I know even less. Some variety would be nice.

... also I could really do without having to guess whether or not the handspan+ polterspider crawling on the wall is actually there or just going to disappear when I look at it more. The snow was plenty enough, hallucinatory phase spider expies on my wall is a bit much. One is pretty, the other I'm not able to be sure if the potentially venomous schrodinger arachnid the size of my head is actually there in defiance to local ecology or just the brainmeat going haywire some more. Which is less than ideal, because fuckoff huge only partially opaque spider spazzing out on the far wall is something that requires far more attention than ubiquitous mostly-transparent television static to dismiss as a substantial concern. My adrenaline reserves could stand to not have to deal with that. One day it's going to be someone's actual escaped tarantula or something and I'm going to freak the fuck out right through the window. The glass and metal window that hasn't been able to be opened in over a decade.

Uhh...I don't think randomly hallucinating at all is a good thing to begin with...

It's the best bad thing in horror movies.

Eh, I've been hallucinating incessantly as long as I can remember. Literally 24/7 as far back as my memories go. It's only problem if it's actually a problem, heh. Sometimes brains are just kinda' wired wrong in mostly harmless ways.

That said, latest stuff is something I've talked to a doc about, because yeah, when the shit what yer seein' what ain't there starts doing new things you check with someone. Not really a concern so long as it doesn't get much worse, and it's not really that bad outside of the occasional muzzy what the blue hell moment. It's just getting more evident this is probably going to be part of my life, now. Just wish it was something... else. Wall dryad orgies or somethin', I'unno. Something that didn't include quite so overt potential existential threats.
