In summary: Kitten : ^ I like her. ^ 4) @Loki : He seems... well, Loki. 5) @Nyx : I don't know, she just seems... strange. 6) @Pixalate : She seems nice enough.In summary, Drakkith has already initiated a post on this, but I wanted to ask this again:How do you visualise a PF member when you interact with them? Do you see them as their avatars? What if they don't have one? Do you visualise them by their names? What if their names and av

They both "let me go" for humor related issues, I'm a free agent at the moment honing my skills as an unskilled skill seeker :smile:

unskilled=[itex]\bar{P}[/itex]
skill=[itex]{P}[/itex]
seeker=[itex]{S}[/itex]
So, [itex]{S}[/itex] is part of [itex]{P}[/itex] which is negated by [itex]\bar{P}[/itex] or [itex]{SP}[/itex] is negated by [itex]\bar{P}[/itex]. That means [itex]\bar{P}[/itex] turns down [itex]{S}[/itex].

I will try and get Mr. S. Waffle on that one as my problem solving skills need to have some problems solved themselves.

CrazyNinja I'm glad you don't understand either :) I thought I was the only one too stupid to understand a science/math/logic joke :nb)

This is how I visualize Sophie:
http://cdn.themetapicture.com/pic/images/2015/03/07/cute-girl-goat-selfie-smiling.jpg

And this is how I visualize Silicon Waffle: (be aware that it wasn't until the other day that I realized SW was a 'she'. This whole time I thought she was a 'he', but like I said in my first post it is because I don't really pay attention to genders on the internet, I just want to talk.)

EDIT: I have such a hard time identifying faces that I could only identify that the picture above and the following are the same person because of the teeth. I swear I could not tell they were the same because of the face, I had to look at the teeth: (plus, in the first one she has a little black dot below her mouth and in the second one it disappeared completely :confused: I'm so confused)

Girls can have many faces according to how they do their hair and it confuses me so hard. :confused: A girl can tell me: "I can avoid being seen if I wish..."

And I would believe her.

Um, no. That's not Kim Kardashian.

Nope, no idea who that is. I cannot recognize. Is it someone famous? :oldconfused: Enlighten me, please.

Yup yup.

If it's not Kim Kardshian, then who IS it?

Look carefully. You have seen her before when she was younger.

I had no option, but to cheat. :-p It says on the name of the picture Lucy Grande. :biggrin: Is it her? (I'll be honest, I had never heard of her before) :nb)
CrazyNinja said:
@Silicon Waffle is a "she"??! Jesus. My whole life has been a lie.
To me it matters little. I like Silicon Waffle be it a he or a she. :smile: One of the few people I feel comfortable with on the internet. Besides visualizing the member SW as in the pics, I visualize SW as a very kind, clever, and intelligent person with the best sense of humor in the forum. And that is an honest compliment.

Is that funny ? You know the differences between 2 programs that have the same functionality but are produced by 2 different companies ? You are the end-user. Due to physical conditions my program can't implement some functions that you prefer.
And my program is only for those who like to use and clearly have their rights to choose to use. Do you have a choice ? I guess Yes. :-p

I managed to understand something on the second try reading this. On the third one, even that disappeared.

Oh no... I missed this post of yours.
My heart has melt like butter on hot muffin right after I read your post.
It sounds so sweet of you to say so about me, thank you Psinter a lot.

You are now on my list! :biggrin:

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,

A need to visualize your chat-mates may be caused by your own curiosity, your low self-esteem or self-confidence but I think it is also due to your precaution, care or even that you are looking down on them. :oldbiggrin:

Or maybe it's evolutionary. For millions of years, our ancestors and homo sapiens saw who they were communicating with. We need to see faces. It's the same as in that phenomenon where you see faces in objects like on a piece of toast :-) I wanted to add some funny pictures to demonstrate but don't know how to do it on a phone :-/

Déjà vu'. I felt such a strong Déjà vu' regarding this post it was almost creepy. Like from very before you joined the forum. Actually that's not certain, I don't know when you joined the forum. And I won't pay visit to your profile since I don't want to be seen as a stalker. But yeah, Déjà vu' is strong with this one.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this question... :nb) I'm not really sure I want an answer.

That's strange.
I joined the forum like 2 years ago? But I only asked one question and left . I've become active on Halloween last year :-)
Now what do you think about that?

Ah well, you joined way way before the traces of this Déjà vu' (I thought you joined this year). This Déjà vu' traced back to last year about October. (And I wasn't visiting the forum by then)

Weird stuff. :bugeye: I must be becoming crazy. o0) :smile:

You're not getting crazy, this happens. You're just tired.
