Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Today is the 8th anniversary of the time I caught a truck with my brain (would not recommend) and ever since my memory has been more leaky than a machine-gunned sieve...
Damn... well, at least you're not alone with such problems. Let's keep moving, tovarish.
I'm sorry that happened to you friend, but I do love the phrasing, as morbid as it may be. It gave me a good chuckle. I hope you're managing okay. That's got to be tough to deal with.
I've got a non-cancerous tumor in one of my temporal lobes so I understand on some level at least how it feels. For me it mostly just means I don't remember a lot of my childhood (I'm not missing out on much, it wasn't great) and go blind when my blood pressure spikes though rather than my short-term memory. It sucks always having to wonder whether your deficiencies are because of your maimed brain or your unmaimed brain. That's the worst part for me.
