Nope -- I think because in a real person, it's super-obvious that an ear is not an eye, frex.
Jesse is me.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Thrive to spite them
I have to block out the pictures next to it (and the heading) so I can see the old woman in the drawing. For some reason seeing the words Young Woman kept me from seeing the old woman.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I flipped it, squinted, and looked back and forth between the photo and a drawing of the illusion. I think the main problem is that the young woman's neckline is way too low, making the old woman's chin too long. And then the eye is the second problem.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I finally got the old lady.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Anyone have any suggestions for this question I just got in my email?
It's a term for a kind of compulsion or tendency that a person has to repeat the same patterns in their lives, like seeking out the same relationships or whatnot, usually with a negative connotation. I think it might be a psychological term, in a noun form. Any ideas? "Neurosis" and "mania" keep popping into my head, but it's obviously not those.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Wouldn't that be a compulsion?

ita, I can see it, but, very oddly, only if I close my left eye. With both eyes, or with the left but not the right, it's just the young woman.
That worked for me too! But only if I tilted my head a bit to the left. CRAZY!

The best I have to far is probably pathological compulsion. But I think there is a word that my correspondent is looking for.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yesterday I locked myself out of my office with no keys, no money, and no phone.
So I tried to break in. I scaled a wall, jumped a fence, fell on my ass, beaned my head on a planter, tried to pick a lock with a hairpin, and then I interrupted my boss' pool party to be rescued.
I am my own episode of I Love Lucy.
