Holy cow. This is possibly the best description of how I usually think I’ve ever encountered. It was actually a bit unnerving to read. Though I’ve always conceptualized it as “shapes” and “holes” rather than vectors.

The ability to near-instantly make connections between symptoms and cause for any given issue in a system I’m familiar with especially resonated. The best explanation I could give someone without stepping back and basically re-solving the whole thing from a standing start would be “the shapes fit together”.

It feels like I’m being asked how I knew a puzzle piece fit in a space, and for some reason “I looked at it and could see that it fit” is not a sufficient explanation. No, I didn’t need to investigate other possible pieces. They are obviously different shapes. The one that you’re asking about doesn’t even belong to the same puzzle.

Similarly I am also utterly incapable of describing what a person looks like in any detail. I have a “mind’s eye” and can conjure up images of them in my head, but for whatever reason I just completely lack the ability to express what I see in words outside of very high level details. They have brown hair, they’re tall, what do you mean “what shape is their face?” Sara’s face is the shape of Sara’s face. It couldn’t be any other shape.

I do have an internal monologue or voice though, but it’s not constant. It usually only comes up when I’m dealing with other people and need to try to reason through what someone else is doing.

I feel the need to ask about the choice of “loud” as the adjective here. Are the tags actually making audible noise, or is this just a non-standard usage of it an a synonym for “overwhelming”?

Average annual family income in the US is around $80k/a. Are you seriously suggesting that families should be looking for homes in the $20k to $30k range? What kind of home, exactly, do you think you get for that?

“me at my parents age” is in the future. It’s a hypothetical where Elon has a moon palace, something happened to Greta, and an organised resistance has formed.

This isn’t probing though. Probing would be like… mentioning some anime that featured fan service of questionably aged characters and gauging the response.

This is just straight up announcing yourself.

The irony of the etymology for “hysterical” in this context is not lost on me.

…does she think that no man ever gets his eyebrows trimmed? It’s pretty far from being a meaningful concern of mine, but it’s something I’ve absolutely been offered (and occasionally accepted) when getting a hair cut.

I guess it’s also possible I have the scenario reversed and she thinks no woman gets this done, but I feel like that doesn’t line up as well with the assumed stereotypes here.

Or I guess another option is she thinks every single (insert transitioned gender) must do so.

It’s also really bad even for AI.

Not only would it have been really, really easy to find a non-AI image, it would have been similarly easy to get better results from image gen. It’s like they went out of their way to find the worst slop possible.

Was ingrown on both sides, and grew back the same each time.

Ah, yeah. I was told that was a possibility when I had it done. Sucks that it happened to you.

Completely gone. Was badly ingrown and after a doctor removed it three times and it grew back ingrown again every time they just destroyed the root completely.

You joke, but I’m missing a nail on one of my big toes and it’s so much more comfortable and less hassle that I kind of wish all my toenails were gone.

…not so sure about fingernails though. They’re pretty useful for picking things up or praying things open.

I feel this. Working from home now but even when in the office spent a staggering amount of time just… doing nothing. Spent multiple days in the office just watching old episodes of The Computer Chronicles on youtube.

Recently praised as one of the most productive/useful members of my team and also thanked for taking so much of my time to help other teams.

Not a furry though.

By odd coincidence you just named the most recent two games that I purchased.

I work at a “Microsoft Shop” in a division that was a previously acquired software developer that used an entirely linux based dev stack.

That stack is still all linux and we basically have to do all our work in WSL. It’s a pain.
