I wish I saved all my old hardware.  PhantomCatClock, you deserve every penny you insightful bastard.

I like that they put me right next to the sonic and yugioh hentai

I can't see the cropping problem you're talking about. Everything that looks like it's supposed to be 200x250 appears to be 200x250.

!RemindMe to use the rightmost 25 pixels of my avatar to make joke(s) at Rob's expense

can't believe a gay man is a serious contender for president of the united stated for the first time and his fucking name is "pee butt"

I can't vote for no pee butt

I HAVE PROOF!

It must have been something done when you put the sw0le forum icons up because i went on my desktop which had cached before that update

this is blowing my mind
https://www.boredpanda.com/not-everyone-having-internal-monologue/

it's clickbaity but basically it asserts that some people have an "inner monologue", where they can "hear" their own thoughts as a coherent string of words in their mind, and other people do not think in words, and only form sentences as they speak or write them, and most people are not aware that the other kind of thinking exists

it looks like the "no inner monologue" kind is more rare

what kind are you guys?

I definitely have an inner monologue but I have also felt that, as with speaking or writing, it's an imperfect process of coalescing intended meaning, and I frequently realize it's nor precisely what I meant and revise or correct myself as I go. it's kind of relentless tbh
I also remember reading that natively bilingual people, when asked which language they think in, usually say neither, and it's more like when they speak they take this kind of abstract form of pure meaning and "translate" it to whatever language they're speaking
it sounds fascinating, heck, I wish I had superpowers

makes me wonder if language is some kind of neural crutch that asserts itself as the dominant form of thought just because interpersonal communication is so important in every aspect of our society, especially for very young children

[VCRClock]

I imagine you won't be too surprised to hear that my inner monologue is text to speech

[RobClock]

I'm pretty sure I think with an inner monologue.


At least I think so? Thoughts come in the form of my own voice playing within my head

[PolyhedronClock]

i absolutely think with an inner monologue. sometimes i'll watch something with a character i really like, and i will subconsciously replace it with their voice.

I HAVE PROOF!

a lot of little changes I'd made to the default forum theme here and there got reset because I performed something akin to a "fresh install" when trying to uninstall the misbehaving anti-bot software

one of them was probably increasing the size of the avatar area/decreasing the size of the post area. smf's default avatar size limit is less than the 200x250 to which we in the western world are accustomed, so the default theme expects smaller avatars

changed it back to approximately the way it probably was before

Can it be both? Maybe it's answered in the article, but I have a headache and it had too many tweets in it and I zoned out. I feel like I can switch depending on the situation? When writing or say mulling in bed it's helpful to "make my brain speak" as it were. It's a good tool to run through a thought step by step. When I'm actively talking to someone it's easier/faster to vocalize "abstract non-verbal thoughts." I guess that's a way to put it, I can't describe it all that well, but I'll have some indefinable notion (or vague outline, or colored mist, or whatever the fuck) in my head and words just come out. Also I'm not exactly natively bilingual, but after years of television, literature and Clock Crew I can think in both English and Dutch and I can also switch between those at will. I don't have to translate between the two. Also sometimes my brain chooses for me it seems like. Like an abstract thought will pop into my head which somehow "feels" English or a Dutch sentence, or vice versa. Maybe this capacity for switching (in both senses) is because I only really learned English in high school. (Although most of the TV I watched as a kid was in English, with subtitles. (As a kid I also somehow learned how to understand German because I watched certain shows on German channels and they dub everything. (The other day I was watching a movie that had some dialogue in Italian and the stream didn't have subtitles and I wondered if I would be able to do that still, just by watching a bunch of Italian TV. Or maybe it was easier because I was a kid? Or maybe it was easier because there's some mild overlap between Dutch and German? Or both?)))

On a more basic level, sometimes I'll say in my head "Goddamn, what's that word?" to really push myself to remember. And I'll say, I don't know... "Buttress" out loud. In that moment the word "Buttress" wasn't actually in my mind though, just some abstract notion of that word. Is that a good illustration or is that just how normal thinking works? I can't tell.

Someone want to temporarily switch brains so we can compare notes?
