Hi everyone! Sorry, I know this is going to be kind of a mundane request, since I'm sure it's been asked before. But, is anyone offering self-defense lessons? I'd really like to start learning, since it seems like an important thing to know.

I guess this is only kind of related, but I'm mostly just curious. Do you have powers, like everyone's been saying? What do they do? I can't imagine how I'd feel if I woke up one day with superpowers! I'm kinda surprised I don't see more people in capes!

Anyway, thanks! I hope everyone is staying safe out there!

i can hear what people are saying 15 feet away from me as well as the sounds of insects, breathing, someone burping, you name it

trust me getting powers is much worse than it sounds

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up something sensitive! That must be so hard for you... how do you cope?

[ohrlyeh]

i've learned how to cope

now i can drown most things out as long as i don't focus on them but for a long while i hated even being in the city, i thought for sure my ears would bleed if i was around others

Do noise cancelling headphones work?

[ohrlyeh]

i haven't tried them? i don't know where i would get them

Any electronics store should have a pair you could try out! They can be kind of expensive, but it sounds like they'd be worth it for you!

[ohrlyeh]

oh, if its expensive, i probably can't afford it

i don't exactly have a lot of money at any point in time. being a teacher's assistant at university only pays so much

Oh no! Maybe you could go look, and see what the price tag is? At least you could have a goal to aim for, right?

[ohrlyeh]

i'm not the type to aim for anything

and like i've said i've learned how to cope. i just hope it won't get worse

[unromanceable]

Is that so? Well, I'm not going to pry into your life or anything. Suit yourself!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! I'm sure you'll be just fine.

[ohrlyeh]

thanks

i hope that if you get abilities they'll be good ones

though i guess we're not in control of that
