No it's not, you're just having female mood swings. You don't "feel" sadness you just "have emotions" like every other female, one emotion to the next drives you.

Well I'm back from my 2 day adventure, and you know the greatest adventure is what lies ahead, did you know that?

I'm sure while I was gone with no internet, maybe WWIII happened, but most importantly everyone on r9k was wondering "did he make it to Dormer Pass?" ….No. I did not. Iet you down. I feel like GeoWizard that one time he got stopped by a cliff in the rain, "This is the end of the road guys…. I'm so sorry."
I'll try again to get there, since I will be the first person on the planet to photograph the area, obviously.

Do you have a mind's eye? Anonymous 325781[Reply]

ever since i first learnt about aphantasia vs hyperphantasia, i've been really curious about it
i've wanted to pry further into all the various ways in which people experience their inner-worlds; how their senses feel, how these differences affect loving, learning, sleeping, etc. it's not a topic that was brought up to me within a real interaction, nor was it something i questioned on my own, and it makes me think about just how many other idiosyncrasies have the potential to be hugely impactful, but often overlooked or under noticed. the unspoken gaps between human personalities. my family & friends haven't been that interested in discussing it in detail, probably because i'm not pushy enough (or it's boring), so i'm dropping these questions here out of curiosity

>do you see images in your head? pictures, smells, sounds? can you manipulate the imagery, conjure things at will, distract yourself? is it subtle, or a strong landscape of colours and forms?

>do you literally see shapes when you close your eyes, as if they're there but still not really, or is it simply black behind the eyelids, but your mind remains envisioning things?
>if you don't see images (aphantasia), do you still dream?
>can you re-experience memories in high detail, almost as if you're reliving the moment?
>do you see things when you read?
>do you have one or two senses, but not others? fe you can hear things, but not see or touch?
>do you have an internal monologue? constantly, infrequently? or do you have to force it? is it audible, or just vaguely there
>have you heard of this topic before, or questioned it on your own?
>if you have hyperphantasia, do you like it?

this made me smile. is it bittersweet to remember her so well compared to other things, or simply nice? it was a sweet thing to share, i wasn't expecting something so soft

Anonymous 325785

That's a lot of questions but yeah I can see the apple in vivid detail in my head. Down to the little brown spots on the leaf and the sheen on the skin of the apple. I can change the shape, color, etc at will. Really the level of detail is dependent on how much you can recall based on past experiences and use those memories to formulate a new vision in your head. You know now that I mention it out loud that does sound a lot like AI.

thank you, i'm glad my silly love life (or lack thereof) can make someone smile.

i can share a bit more; her and i are flirting again, and even though it's been years, we've always missed each other dearly (obviously me a bit more than her though).

when we reconnected recently, i was so awkward at first i texted her something like:
"i've completely forgotten how to communicate in the slightest and i'm so embarrassed i just threw up… the only thing that could save me now is if you sent 'i'm sorry you have the wrong person.'"

but now, it's like our friendship hasn't changed in the slightest :).
she was the best best friend i ever ever had, and i made damn sure to tell her that haha.

i was never able to get over her, so i thought "why not just try again," and i've never before in my entire life been so glad of a choice i've made.
no matter where this goes i'll always love her, and i do hope i can be the person to give her the care and attention she deserves.

Don't know if there's such thing but I went from hyperphantasia to aphantasia over the years from mental suffering and trauma plus aging. I didn't have photograph level visual imagination but it was really vivid and rich

Anonymous 325831

This image is an entirely inaccurate description of how it feels to visualise images, especially for the literal-minded (such as those with a certain disorder common on imageboards). Also, it seems like a great way to totally mislead aphantasiacs about the experience of mental imaging and lead them to believe that others literally create hallucinations lucid-dream style.
I don't necessarily blame the artist for this just because it is a difficult thing by nature to translate into a real image, but I don't think this is the only possible way either.
If you interpret the scale as metaphorical, then I am something like a 2. Decent but not, like, eidetic, which is what I guess 1 is supposed to represent.

Why not make castration mandatory for adolescent moids who commit sexual harassment and/or have signs that they will (IE hypersexuality, family history)

>Less sexual harassment in general

>Lower recidivism
doi.org/10.1080/19585969.2024.2359923
>Eugenics; rapists aren't allowed to breed
>The first dozen verse of Matthew ch.19 supports it anyway, especially the twelfth (ESV)

This is already what some countries do, including the czech republic, which itself has a big harassment issue (their Easter traditions for instance).
https://www.thehastingscenter.org/is-castration-of-sex-offenders-ever-ethically-justified/

The difference here is that sexual harassment can be practically eradicated altogether if enough people agree on it.

people care too much about the rights and dignity of male offenders, that's why. the article you included says
>The surgery is irreversible, disfiguring, and can cause feelings of humiliation and a lack of dignity. These harms arguably make it cruel and unusual punishment.
you know what's humiliating and un-dignifying? sexual abuse & harassment. cruel? objectification & degradation through a provocative/sexual context. but the mere THOUGHT that male offenders would be punished duly for it is what gets people squirming. the world truly isn't ready to care about women enough, not at all

but from a different perspective, breeding is integral to a lot of people's inherent sense of purpose, so permanently removing someone's ability to have children; even consensually, forever; is too far when the alternative chemical castration exists. if having kids wasn't so precious to people, even going so far as to let severely disabled people reproduce and torture their children with a painful existence, then we'd maybe have a shot.

It's kind of like death penalty, the verdict may not necessarily be correct but by then the changes are irreversible.
Not saying whether this should or should not be implemented but this would be one of the counter arguments.

Anonymous 325778

and it's so irritating because when i bring this up in debates or just conversations they always say it could "ruin a man's life" & what if she's lying? Sure, those are real things that could happen but just because of that small % of women who do, victims can't get the justice they need !!!

This is why I always believe the victim first tbh.. then continue to update my opinion as more evidence comes out.
Victims are already scared enough to come out about what happened to them.

Moids unironically cite fake stats like up to half of sa allegations are fabricated. I see them actually saying this shit. Or misinterpreting the stats and thinking because only a few cases get convictions they’re the only real ones.

Anonymous 325780

>>325779

very true.
need to figure out a way to derail these fake stats. but i feel like its hard to change a moids mind if you are not a fellow moid. we could bring up the most logical arguments but will only respect it if a moid says the same thing.

i saw someone describe schizos as having deep plunges of information that they can't pull their brains out of fast enough, almost like cliffs that their consciousness dives into & gets caught. whereas normal people have plunges that they don't get stuck inside of. i think it was shown to me in a kind of graph demonstration, and i don't know if it was even close to an accurate elucidation, but interesting nonetheless, and this made me think of that. overvaluing signals against their will. must be torture

I find it's easier to remember if you think about their etymology. E.g. undulate has "und—" as the root, which means wave iirc. It's related to words like inundate and, more obviously, undulant. Not related to ululate at all, but looks similar.

Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.

There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

Anonymous 325777

>>325776
But you know what is a textbook theory?
"Fabula and syuzhet". Per wikipedia:
>In narratology, fabula refers to the chronological sequence of events within the world of a narrative and syuzhet equates to the sequence of events as they are presented to the reader. Vladimir Propp and Viktor Shklovsky originated the terminology as part of the Russian Formalism movement in the early 20th century. Narratologists have described fabula as "the raw material of a story", and syuzhet as "the way a story is organized.
The see-also section gave me another new word, "lisible".
>Lisible is a word from the French for 'legible' used to denote a text that requires no true participation from its audience. It was coined by the French literary critic Roland Barthes in his book S/Z and expanded from his essay "The Death of the Author". Barthes contrasts texte lisible, denoting a closed work, with texte scriptible, a text open to interpretation. In Barthes's opinion, lisible works provide no challenge to the reader's preconceived notions and thus are inferior to scriptible works, exemplified by modernist literature. Barthes contends that lisible works still emphasize the importance of the author, whereas for scriptible texts "the reader is the very space in which are inscribed, without any being lost, all the citations a writing consists of; the unity of a text is not in its origin, it is in its destination

I wish it had an elaborate op faq like the electronics general. Maybe if I get really bored one day I could try making one.

I also randomly kinda thought, didn't people settle by the rivers for the purposes of irrigation. What if I connected pots to like a 3rd long pot filled with water. How would this work.
