I suppose I'm on the opposite side of visualization spectrum. I can easily conjure images so realistic and detailed that they pass for the real thing. I can also add texture, smells, temperature, sound, etc. but I can't fake weight or pure white color which for some reason always turns out somewhat grey or beige.

I don't think much in words however, most of my thoughts are in images and sensations. Which does make verbal communication somewhat challenging at times.

Sometimes the realism of visualization worries me somewhat. Many mental processes have a tendency to get a bit out of conscious control, and it would be quite troublesome to no longer know which of the things I see are actually real. On the plus side, I can visualize paintings on my walls, without actually buying any! I like having no decorations in my home, which seems to confuse people. Perhaps I should start comparing it to a blank canvas...

Recently I've been doing this with studying. "Just one more exercise." I thought that if I stop playing games in the evening, my sleep schedule would get better, but no! At least I'm being more productive, I guess?

When I was done reading the comic, this is exactly the image I had in mind! Good thing I'm not the only pessimist around, I love it.

I just browse things for fun, mostly. I rarely have anything important to add, so I rarely even comment.

I did try making a few memes, but I don't really have ideas for general memes. I only make memes for specific friends about some very specific thing they or I said or did, and those don't really fit in here.

Older houses definitely have them... but there was this trend at some point to renavate older houses and remove the oil heaters and fireplaces and wood heated saunas, and replace everything with electric ones. Why? No idea, trends are weird.

The couple of people I've got to try it out didn't stick either. But after a few years, they are now switching some old laptops to Linux to keep using them. Which is quite nice to see! It makes me happy just to see people giving Linux a chance, but even happier when they actually get some benefit out of it.

But who picked the best breakfast? I'm torn between sausage+bacon+eggs and medium steak+ beer.

I wonder what Konsi will make for herself, or if she'll just forget she needs to eat too...

I've never done this exactly, but I have always used hand gestures (even way before I saw my first touchscreen) to move and manipulate images, text, maps, math equations, etc. in my mind. It's very helpful, but I'm pretty sure people think me insane.

At first glance I thought that chip was covered in small bugs.

Oops, I almost missed the meme just looking at the picture.

How are you going to eat the popcorn with the suit on?
