Can someone explain to me this retarded meme?
>Subvocalization: When you read you hear the words in your head i.e reading like a non autistic person.
>Not Subvocalization: Moving your mouth when reading
How come some speed reading faggots proclaim that it's harmful to subvocalize? They say by "eliminating" the voice in your head you can read faster which is bullshit. You can't. If you try to you just stare at letters, which is retarded. This has to be some pseudoscience bullshit because it doesn't make an sense.

Last year my grandmother, who was a professional photographer when she was younger, let me go through her old photography equipment. She probably had $10,000 (modern value) worth of equipment that she bought cheap when she lived in Singapore and has kept in decent condition. Hasselblads and Leicas and a Linhof large format camera - the kind with bellows that sits on rails. She couldn't remember how any of it worked.
I brought out a Leica R6 and noticed that there was still a film canister inside it - I flipped the rewind and felt it get a little jammed, so I pushed a bit harder. It resisted and I pushed harder. Figuring that something was jammed or that I had already fully retracted all the shot film, I opened the back and in that instant ruined the entire roll. Rewinding it without properly engaging the rewind-release button tore the perforations on the edge of the roll and I had exposed every shot frame. Pictures of my grandfather who had passed away the Christmas before. The final frames of an artistry my grandmother has since totally forgotten. Pictures of my mother, probably, and her brothers. Pictures of their pets or their travel - anything she felt important enough to memorialize forever. The very moment my grandmother put down her camera and never picked it up again. And I ruined all of them by not pressing the rewind release button.

This is really the only thing in my life that is a real true regret. I loved my grandfather. I miss him more than anyone I've ever known who has died.

to be fair, you're a failure and a burrito artist. I'm pretty sure the real reason why you're an asshole misanthrope is because you hate yourself and are scared to be judged by others as you judge yourself when you're lying in your bed in the dark and worrying about the future and who will ever love you and if you will ever have children who can love you back
