When it comes to smell, I know what lilacs smell like but I can't make myself smell lilacs, just like we know what a horse looks like but we don't see it, mentally.

Same for taste; I know what peanut noodles taste like but I can't make myself taste peanut noodles.

But sound is different. I can only compare it to my other senses, so I don't know how my mental audial experience compares to others.

Since I can't hear it, exactly, I think maybe that's also audial aphantasia. But since it's so much stronger than my mental sense of smell and taste, I think maybe I have a standard-issue mental audio. But then it's also WAY stronger so I think maybe it's hyper.

I can replay audio in my head in a way that I can't describe as the same as having headphones on, but it's much stronger than the kind of "I just know" experience we have as aphants in the mental imagery department.

I can "hear" the audio in VERY significant detail, I can recover lyrics I couldn't remember by using this playback, but I can't think of other ways to describe my experience.

In a sense it's still a kind of "just knowing" but the knowing isn't as vacant or inert as my mental sense of taste and touch.

Anyone else have this experience?

I'm not sure if this is relevant but if I hear something a second time, I will often have an awareness of exactly where I was, what I was doing, even my body position when I heard it the first time.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Suppose a business gets a call from someone saying they intended to put up a billboard near the business with only two elements; a post their employee made (let's assume the post in question is one the employer would rather not be associated with), and a screenshot of the employee's profile (which includes the employee's picture and the employer's name and logo).

This is all public-facing material.

The caller doesn't ask that the employee be fired or make any kind of request, the caller says they're letting the employer know the billboards would be going up, and the billboard art would contain their company logo, but if their relationship with the employee changed, here's an email address to let them know.

Is this a violation of an expectation of privacy?

Anything else I'm not thinking of?

If it is, is that still true if the billboard never goes up?
