Anyone else start reading big blocks of text from the middle and just assume they’ll pick up on the first half from context?
Every. God. Damn. Time… And then I realise that I understand nothing and I jump up about a third and read again and still understand nothing so I read from the beginning and then realise that the text is not interesting anymore so I skip reading any of it only to come back an hour later after frantically searching for other articles on the same topic only to realise that the answers were just right there all along if only i had read it properly the first time round.
Right after my morning stimulants if I browse comment-centric stuff (like I’m doing right now oh no)…I have to be super careful I don’t suddenly produce an 8 paragraph comment outlining my points of view on the topic and then backing up each point against hypothetical but inevitable challenges to said point of view.
Sometimes this is in private messages to my long-suffering friends, sometimes it’s Lemmy…
Wish I could just bang out a novel instead but I feel like gradeschool programmed me for “persuasive essays” vs. creative writing at like a 5:1 ratio. :( :(
(Stopping here before I do it again ahhh!)
