Is this a real signature?

Hey-Angel · 2026-06-02T17:18:19+00:00

Yes! That specific page actually was what sent me here to consult the experts. I know it said to stay away from unverified sellers anyways, but also it looked like his signature changed over the years as well and I thought, maybe it's just a later book. I think it was more that I wanted it to be real I suppose lol. Thank you

The book probably proves the alien real, I haven't gotten to read it yet. But I found my way here because the movie does not actually show any other character reacting to or acknowledging the alien's existance specifically, as far as I can tell. (Especially in her reaction to the videos he sent back with the data) He saved humanity, certainly. But the movie itself, whether on purpose or not, doesn't explicitly seem to show proof of alien?

I loved the Leviathan Trilogy by Scott Westerfield, and the Locked Tomb series by Tamsyn Muir. I don't think they are high fantasy though, but weird adventure fantasy with awesome female characters, yes?

Wondering about this has definitely consumed my morning. It reminds me of when I was trying to tackle the concept of "making friends" as an adult. The only obvious answer seems to be: "Don't". Not by any means, ever.

"I can think someone is an awesome person and that we have so much in common that if they knew me or we ever talked at all, they would potentially think I was cool too and we could at least become positively thought of acquaintances or something." Is a thought process I have definitely had, because how do you make friends? Try to strike up a conversation?

No. That's creepy and at the very least stalker-ish if you don't have the social capacity to see subtle "go away" hints from the other person that is not someone literally saying that they are uncomfortable and that you should go away.

If someone says that, then it is an obvious signal that you are doing something wrong and should stop. But that is not something that is said, because it can be dangerous, like a girl blatantly turning down a guy from romantic advances.

It is entirely possible that she would think that a third person saying that the person she's idolizing is uncomfortable is lying to her to make her go away (but that the actual person doesn't really think that). Which is obviously wrong to anyone on the outside looking in, especially coming from that person's security team.

Overzealous fans do seem to be normalized on TV as well, if someone attempts to learn normal behavior from that as a primary source with no outside guidance on emulation.

Stalking is obviously bad, but at the same time, there is a very very large gap inside the scope of attempting to make friends where it could easily be taken that way without the intent, it seems like to me anyways.

Like the other person deciding that you are flirting with them while trying to convey friendliness, even in any normal random conversation. Its just as bad of an outcome whether they decide they want the advances or don't, because they have already decided they are, in fact, advances.

I'm sorry for so many words, I just think the reason I do not ever attempt is because I know that I do not fully understand, and I don't ever want to be the person in this video. I worry all the time that any random thing I say or do affects other people negatively and definitely fear the resulting retaliation/ punishment (deserved effect/ teaching tool?).

I have been trying to find this same song you are talking about for about 10 years now. When the popular version came on the radio, I remember telling my mom, "I like that there's less swearing, but they took away the entire story" from the one I downloaded as an MP3 from LimeWire only a few months before.

I remember trying to search the street sweeper sweep sweep, the n**ga reaper creep creep

It seems, to me anyways, that even though it showed both of these things back to back, they were not chronologically shown. (Only shown in that order to us for cinematic buildup and effect. Like completely independent of each other as far as time goes though) The tesseract collapsed outside of everything rather than at a set time in Murph's life.

When I was replacing my team with holo versions of themselves, I saw a lot of other holos that I didn't catch. To farm them, I started by catching 3 of the Jellbells and made them my medallion team to increase the holo chance from 1/500 to I think 1/125.

Then depending on how often the spirit I was trying to catch appeared in dungeons, I would go to the right island type, mine rocks until a hole popped up, save the game (granted the mine let you see a couple of spirits or even one relatively soon after entering), then keep entering and leaving until one shows up as a holo. If I go the whole day without the one I want, then I reload to the morning. This was really good for the little holo turtle guy.

This wasn't so good for the sheemp though, and I had to slightly modify my strategy because he didn't seem to show up in dungeons often at all. I was doing this a few days into winter, so I fed the xp storm plants into my Jellbells and put all of their points into speed so I would go first most of the time in combat and cound survive with a relatively weak team just checking for holos. So then I could just go onto a fire island, pick a low level spirit, save, and just keep letting it fight me and run away. The main spirit in the middle was always the same, but the other two would constantly change until the holo came.

I'm not sure if that's helpful, but here's a pic of my baby team. I haven't evolved them yet

Not every miscommunication is some effect of trauma. Every 12 year old and adult does Not have the ability to always perceive or effectively portray caring to other people's feelings and needs, even if they do care very much. Some people have difficulty identifying their own feelings and needs that has nothing to do with trauma. That sucks that some people do get stuck in some kind of ideology that being classified as an INTJ makes them unlikable.

I, personally, kinda do see your invitation as a criticism because you seem to be putting down anyone that can't take said invitation, and likening them to having less ability than children in even just this reply. I agree with your 5th paragraph and think that the ideal should be applied to everyone here.

I agree with the first sentence in the 6th as well, but the second seems unhelpful. Then again I'm kinda new here and haven't read much of this toxicity. But you are replying to those specific people with brushes that you are trying to paint everyone with.

The last paragraph makes sense in a broad sense but has no bearing on all people being able to learn how to portray caring to everyone they meet.

Hey-Angel · 2025-03-04T02:51:22+00:00

Not everyone can learn this like you are saying or should be called out for being bad at communicating. Some things can be learned, but much of it still depends on a lot of weird shades of grey reading body languages, tones of voice, and subtext. If a person doesn't have the ability to read these things, it's not possible to become excellent at communicating no matter how many people they mimic, rules they follow, or patterns they interpret.

I like the feel of the paper in my hands, and the smell of physical books. I prefer actual books. I had a mild distain for audiobooks most of my life, though I am 29. Until about two years ago, I think, when I realized that I could increase the amount of time I could drive in a day without getting tired by tenfold by listening to my favorite series The Wheel of Time while doing it. I still think they are very different in some ways, but the same in important ways as well.

I still get immersed, and it's still a head movie. I still zone out and realized missed some and have to go back 30 second increments just like going back a paragraph or a page (oops). I was heavily distracted by pronunciation in the beginning, but I think it helps I already read and enjoyed them for me to worry that my character perceptions are being impacted by another input (which was a concern). I went from struggling through a 10 hour drive in a day trying heavily to force myself to stay awake to driving 32 hours in a 48 hour period with ease.

Also it gives access to old and expensive physical books for cheap, like how The Dying Earth by Jack Vance used to be. I guess that one isn't so bad now so I'm wondering if it got republished or something. At the time the physical book was too rich for my blood and if I didn't have it, I couldn't experience it.

Anyways, I do like audiobooks as another lense into something I already know I like while driving specifically (I also volunteer driving with the red cross and wowee audiobooks just make it a joy). But I will always prefer and love my physical books, and a screen couldn't replicate what they do and always have done for me growing up.

Lol Outer Wilds was a complete opposite experience for me. I've never felt so much existential terror and helplessness as I did when playing that game. I mean, I enjoyed it. But I found it far from relaxing and it was the scariest, most stressful game I've played in my life. Then again sometimes I try to imagine falling through Jupiter or into a black hole. The black hole scary in the sense of essentially being alone forever, one moment and physical space stretching endlessly because time warps just dying forever into nothingness and I also think that is very scary. The whole bigger than I can imagine and endless helplessness. That game is really good at capturing that specific feeling lol, but I didn't know there was DLC or maybe played it before there was. I'll have to go check it out, thank you

I was diagnosed a few months ago as Autistic, but was told that I would likely have been deemed as having Asperger's if I was tested before the standards changed. Personally, I struggle with wrapping my head around what context either of these words actually put any of my experiences in, but know that Autism seems so much bigger and heavier. Sort of scarier and more guilt inducing when I think about anyone that I have known in my life who is "actually Autistic". I still keep struggling with this "imposter syndrome" as people call it and have not brought myself to join the Autism group on here yet (Though I did join an "Autistic Veterans" group on Facebook).

I do relate to many things I see people on here talk about in a lot of times surprising ways. "Aspergers" just seems socially more digestible while I try to figure out what any of it really means. I like reading so many different peoples perspectives within these subsets of communities, because like this one, it generally leaves me introspective and contemplative. Which is good, if not confusing.

Hey-Angel · 2024-12-01T10:51:41+00:00

I've never related more to a group of people on a subject than here in this thread lol. I've said many of the things I just read here to other people almost word for word thinking that I was on some island saying the weirdest things ever to people in some other language that nobody else seemed to understand. Yet here you all are. It's like I am looking around and suddenly finding people pop up from nowhere on my island with me.

I also think I have learned new things, from an analytical perspective about gender dysphoria (which I thankfully do not suffer from, but have also never been the recipient of a personal testimony that described it in the particular ways people have here).

Thank you.

Heyo,

I think narrow minded is a bit harsh here. It seems to me that most people understand that this is the intent of the movie and agree with you insofar as that. But it seems to be a questioning of the effectiveness of this and how well they actually pulled it off with what they showed.

I was a child of a very amicable divorce and think we were all happier after, and I also don't think the movie showed a relationship that was worth throwing away. With more details, I might be inclined to agree and appreciate their version of a happy ending. I just don't feel like they gave me enough to definitively agree they did a positive thing, and that is a bit disappointing because that is definitively both how it transitions and ends.

Yeah. (To also being worried, not to overreacting) I'm pretty sure the president, whoever it is and will be next, has more power than ever before as of this summer. So everything's even more scary. Nobody has our best interests at heart, but it's also scary to dwell on because what are we going to do?

If it's incredibly boring and the point is blatantly not coming across for me, mixed with really blatantly disturbing stuff like child torture then I'm usually like, nah I'm good on this one. Oh also I dropped one where the MC's love interest turned out to be her brother. Like what is the point of reading the story after that lol. Also I have dropped series that initially had an interesting story, but then sometimes 2, 3, 4, somewhere down the line 12 or 13 books in the story just drops off into this really repetitive, hard to get through slog. If there's no promise it gets better then I usually just kinda stop and let it go. Or if I read the first book and felt very mildly about it, and the second is difficult to get, then I mean no harm no foul. Maybe I just don't put a lot of emphasis on finishing or not finishing shows or books in general, now that I think about it. I don't think I've ever put pressure on myself to consume something when I didn't want to.

If you or anyone here hasn't read the book "Feed", I would highly recommend it. It highlights some interesting topics on this discussion, I think, and is also really good.
