I am also from Germany. Political and cultural developments that happen in the US will in some form arrive in Europe with a delay of about 10 years, at least that is how I often felt.

Bass Player here, I am pretty confident this is a flute.

I laughed hard enough to realize I lost too much life time to Excel.

Numbers and vowels have colors for me. 1 white-ish, 2 red, 3 yellow, 4 green, 5 brown, 6 dark red, 7 blue, 8 gold-white, 9 dark green, 0 black, A green, E orange, I white, O black, U brown, Y turquoise. Some consonants “feel” like they have color, but far less pronounced.

Also sounds have colors and shapes but that may just be association.

Edit: does synesthesia qualify as neurodivergence? Am I neurodivergent? What does this mean??
