so what you also saying is that's also tanyaAnyone here remember the episode of Doctor Who where the monster was copying peoples speech, then synchronizing, then forcing other people to copy its speech? Well the "what Satou said" meme reminds me of that.
I don't understandso what you also saying is that's also tanya
I have this game I play with myself (yea, I said it!) where I try to look at words and NOT read them.Who's forcing you to read it?
Try also fighting the training that tells you not to stare at the sun with your naked eye for hours at a time. If you can beat that one often enough, then not reading words you're looking at will probably get much easier.I have this game I play with myself (yea, I said it!) where I try to look at words and NOT read them.
So far, I'm batting 0.000
Some training can never be turned off.
I have tried to train myself to SEE paragraphs and comprehend them without consciously looking at every individual word.I have this game I play with myself (yea, I said it!) where I try to look at words and NOT read them.

BRB...Try also fighting the training that tells you not to stare at the sun with your naked eye for hours at a time. If you can beat that one often enough, then not reading words you're looking at will probably get much easier.
That reminds me of those old illusions, where people wouldn't see the 2nd "the".I have tried to train myself to SEE paragraphs and comprehend them without consciously looking at every individual word.
I'd say it worked about 5% of the time ... then about twice the normal time it would have taken to read a page/spread/chapter to go back over and figure out what -- if anything -- stuck.
I don't try that often anymore ...
When I was 10, I discovered I was doing that without even thinking about it. That's when I understood why I could read at the speed I did. I kept doing it until my mid 20's, when I had my first burnout. Crazily enough, when that landed, I lost the ability to read. What WigglyWorld84 wants to train, was happening in real-time. I can assure you it isn't fun at all.I have tried to train myself to SEE paragraphs and comprehend them without consciously looking at every individual word.

Shit, man! Sorry to hear (read lol) that.When I was 10, I discovered I was doing that without even thinking about it. That's when I understood why I could read at the speed I did.

Took me 3 months of forced rest, and I mean "forced", with strong meds that didn't knock me out but made me virtually paralyzed for 6 hours. My ex-wife, was such a generous person that doubled my meds, because if one was good, two was better, I still don't know why she stopped at two. Yeah, that's one of the reasons she became the Ex (from Hell).
So, let's say, I know what both of you are talking about. Closely. After the burnout I couldn't recover that speed reading. Tried and tried, but something was gone, along with the ability to code and drawing. The drawing part came back later, but completely different and not for the better.
This was but the first of 5 earthquakes that wrecked me. Now, you guys have to deal with these tsunamis of text while I try to put some meaning into words. As if.
Peace
It has been a ride and a half mate.Shit, man! Sorry to hear (read lol) that.
Well, what sort of life have we lived, without adversity?It has been a ride and a half mate.
Are you implying that Allison and Thomas...Im getting Granmas House rolled, im afraid ...........................................
*has a thought ...*Are you implying that Allison and Thomas...
Are never going to give each other up?
Are never going to let each other down? I don't know about that one, Thomas has leg Nana down easily after he's given her an orgasm.
Every time I see this, I can't help but think of the Chevy Chase (& later Austin Powers) double entendre exclamation, "That's what she said".What Satou said™!
Oh I'm stealing that!!!!!
