Let's see if we can't put things back together.

RE: Random funnyposted in Tastes Less Game'y
@Cobaltasaurus @surreality Yeah, I was wondering too, 'cause it was the other one I specifically reported but it did include essentially 'maybe I'm old but this looks like a kid to me' and 'just hide those things from people working' happening sometime after that left me kind of uncertain. (The other one made me go wtf uncomfortably too but I honestly wasn't sure I wasn't just missing some reference.) If the flagging system isn't working right, that probably needs fixing.

Plus oddly enough single people with no kids tend to still have parents, siblings, close friends...

@Arkandel Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if he's always pretty skittish. I've got one similar -- former stray, semi-feral, we figure about a year old or a little less when she showed up, been with us 11 years now(!). She loves me, but she definitely loves me best if I'm in an immobile position such as you mention. She's more chill about unexpected movements (as long as they aren't fast, especially in her direction) and about being generally walked toward now, but still watchful and still prone to fleeing and hiding whenever she suddenly fears I might be heading toward her because this time I finally intend to eat her delicious soul.

RE: A Lack of Imaginationposted in Tastes Less Game'y
@faraday said in A Lack of Imagination:
Also interesting, since a couple folks have mentioned it on this thread:
a substantial proportion of those contacting us also report problems with face recognition or ‘prosopagnosia’.
This is also interesting to me because I feel like I'm very bad at recognizing faces -- I don't always realise X is the actor who played Y as well, for example, and I'm always worried I won't recognize a friend or relative I haven't seen in a while when I go to see them again. But the thing with the latter is I virtually always do. I took an online test recently (part of a study, rather than a 'for fun' type) and my result came back as solidly average. So I think I'm actually not notably bad at facial recognition, but because I store them somewhere I can't 'see', I feel a lot worse at it than I really am. I don't have the precision of description for faces to feel confident in connecting what I have with what's really there when I see it.
I'm actually not terrible at remembering hair colours of characters, heights, things like that, but it's a sort of fact file rather than an image. If a mind laid things out like your sort of standard wiki char page, my brain skips the picture and just goes with the table with the 'hair', 'eyes', etc. in it.
I think that, as well as with the continuum people seem to have from 'nothing, just blackness' to 'vivid, detailed, photorealistic' for mental images, there's also differences in the ways people toward the 'blackness' end up processing/storing/accessing data that we'd think of as visual. It's hard to talk about to figure out details, though, because there's a point where I always end up coming back to: I don't see anything, but for a number of things, I just know.

@Admiral Annoyingly, I'm no longer sure where, but I have read that dreams are apparently separate and imagery for them happens in a different place in the brain. I have definite memory of vivid dreams, including dreaming in text (I very rarely remember dreams at all anymore, but that's a different thing).
...though part of my brain likes to point out that when awake I can only remember them in the same way I remember things I saw IRL, so how do I actually know I ever saw them the way I think I did and that they didn't actually start as the same kind of 'image file code' that real things are stored as in there?

RE: The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves)posted in Tastes Less Game'y
@Wretched My thing tends to be that I carefully plan everything out to be sure to be early or at least on time, then either fail because of sleep issues (a separate problem) or I get started on schedule and then suddenly somehow an hour disappeared somewhere and I'm late anyway. There's a difference in motivation... but rarely in actual outcome.
