@satrevik @tml #pareidolia, I think.
What is interesting is that a mild degree of #FaceBlindness, or #prosopagnosia, does not prevent pareidolia - I have both.

@randahl I have #prosopagnosia and have that problem in real life - can't remember faces, so I also forget a lot of the interactions with the people I can't remember.
Learning people's faces from repeatedly seeing them in their online presences also helps me when I encounter them in real life.
Y'ALL! just reckoned Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh are two different people
kept getting confused as to why Bryce was twice at-bat in a game.
Brandon Marsh looks like Bryce Harper cosplaying Hermit Thor. if the Ozzie Chris ever makes it to a #Phillies game, i might never make them out from a lineup
#prosopagnosia is a bitch. with all my #neurodiversity fuckery, i don't even know how i make it out of the bed every morning.
One of my favorite things about having face blindness is that I frequently encounter a person who I believe is one of my siblings
And then I stare. Not because I actually think, “that IS my sibling,” but bc I’m trying to figure out what about their face DOESNT look exactly like one of the people I know, bc this person cannot logically be either my brother or my sister
It’s very cognitively disorienting & it is actually, in fact, not one of my favorite things
> How many TV news interviews can I be on wearing the same sweater?
All of them!
(srsly, it'll help people recognize you)

New MERCYFUL FATE Bassist BECKY BALDWIN Opens Up About Suffering From Prosopagnosia, Or 'Face Blindness'
our middle school had a career day today!
one of the volunteers in the room across the hall recognized me and was bragging to her co-presenter that she knows a famous poet
we had a little exchange and it was cool and funny but awkward
later in the day, we saw each other again and she mentioned to a couple kids nearby how it was so crazy that she saw me today bc she'd forgotten I was a teacher as well
on my fucken life, I have no idea who that person was.
Me, watching a new show with face-blindness:
Oh wow.. I didn't know Many Patinkin is in this.
*watches guy running*
Oh, that's not Mandy Patinkin, it's just an old guy with a beard
*guy talks*
Oh hey, old guy with a beard is John Goodman!
*opening credits mentions Kurt Russell*
Huh, it was Kurt Russell after all that..
*googles*
Oh, it WAS John Goodman lol
@Zumbador @actuallyautistic @neurodivergents #Prosopagnosia was diagnosed for me by a curious doctor. Accepting it has helped me become a better detective and I have days where I think I’d have stronger relationships if this was not a barrier to forming them. For some types of relationships I disclose it, “I have a hard time recognizing faces, so come say hi—I’m not an asshole, if I look like I don’t know you it’s because I don’t know that I do.”
C'est chiant les films américains des années 2000.
Tous les personnages féminins sont blondes, corpulence moyenne, cheveux mi longs.
Je comprend rien, je reconnaît personne

En plus ya des flash-back...
FWIW
i didn't reformat the laptop with the sever install because i still have a lot of GUI software stuff there that i have not moved or archived.
so i just SSH into it. but that means i don't have a visual for all the localhost and network stuff that should be on.
it makes me realize, the way i have set up all my GUIs it's been to overcompensate for my #dyslexia, #dysgraphia, #prosopagnosia and #ADHD
The kids I grew up with knew I was "different", but my parents and school insisted I was normal. Now I've explored #Autism #Prosopagnosia #Alexithymia and #Aphantasia and have an idea what was going on, but then I thought everyone saw the world like I did, just coped better. I coped by becoming a #PluralSystem by age three when I realized my girl self would have to be hidden. After six "guy" IDs, I'm now back being that girl. Still running the system, but with more E and less T...
Age nine I was forced to wear #Bifocal #PlusLensTheory glasses every waking moment. Shattered my body sense and #CognitiveMap - https://www.psychoros.com/consumed-by-the-light/ Spent endless days of lonely boredom exploring the ~30° wedges of #SpatialViewCells and the flat dioramas between them. Now I'm rebuilding a 3D world around my body, where #HeadDirectionCells can have a single basis and #DorsalStream depth can pop out of the flat distance like content from a random dot stereogram.
Despite all that, I've been online since #ARPAnet and #DJNR, wrote the first magazine article with simultaneous code distribution (via 8" floppies in the post), coded fab robots to move 6" & 8" Silicon wafers, built my (almost) independent #SolarPV and #SolarThermal house (7K lines of C++ from 1998, 42 device outs), and evolved an audio system with bandwidth from DC to a half MHz. Helped raise four unique kids, as adult minds in young bodies. Still mystify most of the adults I encounter...
