I’m a civil engineer and a project manager. I’m an aspiring polyglot and a sucker for good fiction. Please let this be better than before.
The planet has nothing to do with this.

It’s also “too easy”…

I believe this was tested under certain conditions. People who listen to audiobooks usually like to multitask like cook or drive or even work which is where the problem lies. Audiobooks are equal to reading when your total focus is in them, ie sitting on a chair/lying in bed immersed in the story.

It surely depends on how you listen to the audiobook. It’s certainly not the same as reading if you’re attempting to multitask and listen to an audiobook. I think that’s why people consider “reading” to be different.

Happy Anniversary!!! Truly a blessing to have such a beautiful family.

No… I left. If people want to believe the misinformation now then reality will eventually catch up to them. We should just give it time. Just make sure Bluesky can’t be bought by another billionaire and we’re solid.

Apologies. You can never really tell from text. I’m also a bit traumatised from X where everyone has something to complain about.
