So what you are saying is, I'm a genius :superhapp:

He means you are just average.

Neither. I'm just saying that you're normal. Maybe the things you associate the names with are weird, but not you.

Maybe that's why I suck at names. What the fuck are you supposed to associate Thimmanna with?

I can't believe people with such names still exist in the city!

How you doing, Asif?

Jaap and Ruud no doubt.

It's not odd at all. It's just associative memory. You associate something you want to remember to something you remember fondly. This makes retrieving the new name easier. Sits in your brain easily too.

Yeah but when you want to remember the name of someone you meet, its not very helpful to associate their name to another persons face.

Jaap and Ruud no doubt.

my coworkers?

 

[IrishZebra]

Aye, with Edwin in accounts.

But that's the beauty of associative memory: you can associate their names with anyone or anything. Usually, the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear their name. That's what I do. It could be a real person, or object, or abstract entity.

If I meet a guy called Brad and immediately associate his name with the face of Brad Pitt, how am I supposed to recognise him the next time I see him if I've associated 'Brad' with Brad Pitts face and not the man I met? I wouldn't have remembered his face and wouldn't remember his name. I thought it was the face of the person you associate their name with every time, not something completely irrelevant with the same name.

I think it's that your memory retains his face as someone you know but associates it with Brad Pitt at the same time, in the same way you can know that you know someone but have forgotten their name...I think.

Indeed. That is why I say burqas should be banned.

Haven't been in here in a while

 

[IrishZebra]

Well that's one game that's getting banned.

 

[ALC]

That can't be real.

"Buy slaves. Discipline them. Exploit them."

Hilarious.

 

[Kasaki]

I hope it isn't.

Exploit them? wtf?

I can't find that news thread for some reason so fuck it. Thought the following articles were cool.

[Kasaki]

They're using for Nano Technology, I assume.

Kasaki: The hell? Is that game for real?
