Those things pop your ears, yeah, but they're not what I mean, and they don't make the noise. Oh well.
I taught myself to do this after reading about it in a short fantasy promo when I was little. An adult asks a boy what he can hear, and he says people talking, so the man instructs him on how to really listen to what is being said around him, to gather information without attracting notice. I've always wondered what that story was because I'd like to read the whole thing.
I didn't realize that's not a thing everyone can do. There's a part of All I Want for Christians is You that's just someone mashing annoyingly on a piano, and it's so disgusting that I love it. It starts at about 0:58 on the YouTube Music copy, and then changes at about 1:05. It's such an annoying sound in isolation.
Human skin contains photoreceptors, so this makes perfect sense.
Based on what I've read about senses, I think most of human sensory variance is born in the brain and is trainable to be much more sensitive than we'd generally expect possible given our comparatively weak hardware. Some of us have the supertaster gene, but no one comes out of the womb a sommelier.
Can you do that thing where you flex some internal muscle and hear a loud rumbling that I assume is rushing blood? It's hard to explain. I think the muscle is related to the jaw, or maybe ear movement. It's not externally perceivable, but it's useful on an airplane.
You're projecting onto me things that you've observed in other people who are not me.
Yeah, it's a real tragedy all those cishet white folks getting stuffed in ICE vans and stopped at the borders.
I found cognitive behavioral therapy very helpful and cannot recommend it enough.
I can't bring myself to be happy about it when it involves a bunch of innocent people suffering.
e: Wanted to see if this is a thing in English.
I wonder this all the time. I can't help but fantasize how I would translate things while reading, but there's nothing to be done about it if the publisher isn't interested. They could at least make it legal to distribute fan translations.
