Playing Mario 64 with a d-pad is just as bad now as it was on the DS

Wish we had this instead of a growling guy in a mask headbutting a clown

The best conspiracy ever conceived was the one that convinced people that conspiracies are absurdist caricatures of the very real threat of collusion.

All these crazy conspiracies just weaken the perception of the mundane real ones.

If I was gonna conspire, the first step would be to trivialize the idea in the first place.

With the birds I share this lonely view?

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It's harder to drift if you can fully saturate your thoughts with the book. The moments where your brain already understands where a sentence is going, that's when it gets bored and starts thinking of something else while your reading speed catches up. This made a huge difference for me and counterintuitively it significantly improved my reading comprehension and reduced those moments of getting to the bottom of the page, not knowing what you just read. It's like a disconnect between reading the words and processing them. It also just makes it less tedious to reread a section, since you're blasting through it so much faster. Seriously, give it a shot.

There's speed reading apps that will flash the words at a faster pace so you have to keep up. Just bump up the speed til it's a little uncomfortable.

Was coverage CNN exclusive or what? How does that make any sense? Put all the media companies in there with cameras. How do we have better media presence on an Apple keynote than the presidential debate

Nah he's just an average American. this shit is on fire

Try speed reading. Like faster than is comfortable. I was the same way til I realized my casual reading pace is too slow to keep me interested. I still struggle to get interested but once I am, zooooom

I hope so. I read atomic habits and it fed into my delusions of grandeur but nothing stuck. I don't think it was written for us
