Have you tried DeepL for translations? I find it to be much better than Google translate for getting the context right, at least for European languages. Although, if you use a camera to scan and translate, I do not know if DeepL has such a feature since I have never used it.

I think I understand what you are saying. I have a hard time imagining scenes, especially when I am reading, and definitely not in any vivid detail. For example, there is a kitchen scene in a book I am currently reading. I vaguely picture the kitchen of the house from my childhood but that is pretty much all I can come up with. I don't think that is aphantasia, though.

You are absolutely correct, that is exactly what will happen, if at all. Even for a country that loves its military as much as America, they probably love their surveillance techbros even more.

Get your shit together, America. If it takes your soldiers getting killed for you to rein in big tech and ad tech, that is a sacrifice I am definitely willing to make for the sake of a better internet.

I am curious about this condition. What goes on in your head and how did you figure out you had aphantasia? Now I am trying to imagine a rotating cow after reading the comments (didn't imagine it when I saw the meme), and I can only recreate in my head the gif somebody posted in one of the comments.

Yes. I enjoy browsing Wiktionary and finding relations between words.

For the first point, you could use a random generator and make it pick from a Gaussian or Poisson or other probability distribution depending on the situation.

For the rest, I do not know. I have been wanting to play a tabletop game with my board game group. But knowing them, I would have to be dungeon master and that seems intimidating since I have never played before.
