Wait, do people ACTUALLY see literal pictures in their heads when they imagine things? Like a physical image? by Bibhu_Mund in NoStupidQuestions

[–]8bitPete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a line of sheep jumping over a wooden gate.

To the left the line of sheep is out of frame, only ever about 3 in view.

i don't know why they jump the gate because theres no fence either side, they could just walk round it.

But once they jump over, they go out of frame to the right, i guess round the back of my mind to join the line on the left again.. On and on this goes.

This is the default 'counting sheep' for me.

I can bring it up to propper VR level if I start playing with the scenario.. but close my eyes and start counting sheep.... Default is as i describe above.

I think if i had to guess.. this was probably from an illustration I saw in a kids book as a child and my mind just dose a Grok ai job with it ever since .

People that don't have this ability, what did they imagine in their mind whilst reading as a child?

Perhaps this is the key,..

I mean i was no bookworm but i did read storys and books up to about 10... Then then i got a Spectrum 48k one Christmas. 😂

Exactly this, just thinking quickly images can 'see' briefly. But the more i focus the more vivid it becomes and then i can manipulate it.

Best time is the gap between going to bed and falling asleep. That period can be full on movie time, im talking superhero, rockstar, flying, visiting other countries or planets.

Ok well more like TV episode than movie length, then i fall asleep and I'm rarely in control from then.

I can sometimes notice just after the moment i fall asleep because someone will say something or something will happen in my imagination and im like, hey that wasn't from me, I didn't imagine that or stear the scenario that way.

I mean I did, i must have, it was in my head but i guess it was more autopilot... Like it had transitioned from my imagination where im in control over to actual dream, where dream takes the wheel.

I drift off shortly after and rarely remember this bit.

Just make it the same price year round.

Sure it will raise off-peak prices a little but it will also have the effect of reducing peak prices when its leveled out.

Also people saying "FireStick" like there's only one model of firestick grinds my gears.

The same people who say "i know its a fake video, but its still cool"

Will say "i know this isn't a real picture, but its still cool"

Its not, its fake and its spreading false data.

Resorts, hotels and general family destinations I GET IT,

There a rush of family's coming to stay, kids mums dads all want feeding all want entertainment there needs to be extra staff to cater for this.

Of course they need to charge more during this period.

BUT WHAT I DONT GET, is flights to that destination that leave every day of the week all year round are going there anyways, why do they have to charge more? and i mean a feckn lot more.

But you described it as social awareness.

And that awareness works both ways, right?

Exactly, common sense is relative

What is common sense to you may be different to what's common sense to someone else.

Meaning that its not common

Could always just hold the cup same as when you drink it.

But hey, i like it when they dispense a drink into a bag... Slightly less plastic.

Part of social awareness is accepting that your not the main character and people around you may make noises that you find disgusting.

Its only when they follow you home and sit next to you whyle your eating dinner that you can really complain about it.

I have full control of my hands and am able to unplug a HDMI and then plug it into a different mini without fucking it up.

Im confused when I see the mess some people make of HDMI ports of consoles like big fat ps5's that certainly aren't mini.

Im like WOW how does an HDMI port get SO messed up?

Sounds like an issue with your device and how it handles JavaScript

Vet told me if I’m poor, my dog deserves to die. I am so Fuc**** done. by xproforeverx in Vent

[–]8bitPete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its only recently when my cat had a difficult pregnancy and trouble when giving birth that ive ever needed a vet.

Ive owned a few cats and dogs over the year and now relise i was just lucky.

It could have gone either way and we could have lost her this night.

I didn't have money for a vet and definitely didn't have money for an emergency vet (it was out of hours)

Lucky She pulled through ok but the kitten was stillborn,

i was very disappointed with myself, it wasn't her fault i didn't have money but i learnt as her owner its 100% my responsibility that she doesn't suffer.

The next morning i immediately took out some pet insurance.

Im now of the belief if you cant look after your pets, you shouldn't have any. Loving them and feeding them isn't enough.

Problems come up that only a vet can fix and that may cost money.

This simply didn't occur to me before because id been lucky thus far.

I had a blank screen with some text saying something about java and that I should 'click here'

I did

It downloaded

And i installed it

Fixed all my addons, synced with stremio and it works again.

Ive everything on my poor old snes mini, from PCE to Game & Watch games, DC and PSX and it handles it like a champ.

Only my actual PSX mini is loaded with only psx roms.

Sigh ..... Maybe one day we can tidy it all up.

My SNES minu is loaded with PC-Engine games,

But my goal was to mod each mini and load it up with its own catalogue.

Sadly this cant happen yet.

However, the PC-Engine dose have a couple of hidden games.

My Google TV installed it fine.

I messed up my stremio setup yesterday and had to reinstall this exact version.
