you're literally telling me to 'suck it up'
it's a literal brain condition you know
i can't just close my eyes and think really hard to fix it
No, I'm saying figure a way to work around it.
yeah i have
memorization is bullshit
Well, no. It's a useful skill.
i can't deny it is but in some areas more than others
True.
if i position myself in such a way that i never have to memorize anything
then the problem goes away yes?
I'm a code monkey, so instead of memorizing code and tricks, i just remember where i used something similar
then i can look at that and extrapolate
It's avoided for sure, but ameliorated? No, it's evaded.
my memory is a pile of shit, but my extrapolation skills are rather extravagent
i can work through things rather easily and given only a few details i can make a wider picture
instead of memorizing how to do specifics i focus on 'how' to perform actions
Interesting.
in math i used to try and memorize shit
in math classes when i was forced to memorize lots of specifics and crap i did terribly
cause if everything can be boiled down to a few fundamentals
then it can be built up to specifics
True.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the adderal is just because i have the brain of a squirrel though
As said, no judgment there.
i mean
you'd have to be pretty damn petty to judge that
it's like judging someone for taking tylenol for a headache instead of just 'drinking water'
Nah, judgmental is the default assumed position on forums like these.
I disagree
it's not judgement
it's negative opinion
if you can't see the face of someone you try to figure out what their opinion is by their tone of voice, failing that your innate nature is to be slightly on guard
so if we are discussing ice cream and you say you dislike chocolate ice cream
and then i say that i love it and can't understand why you don't
it's probable and understandable, if your first thought might turn to 'are they being dismissive of my opinion'
instead of reading it as a hyperbole
Something i am interested in on a surface level is sociology
mostly because that's general how i managed to get over my own issues dealing with people
