    Yep! My brain works similarly. I essentially set bookmarks in stories for specific information. Although it can backfire when I answer without considering where I am or who I’m talking to first, which is why I’ll occasionally say horrifying, arrogant or otherwise tone-deaf stories without realizing it beforehand.

    “Sorry that story involved a graphic injury and/or abusive situation, that was just the required-context paragraph for any story in that folder in my brain. It’s worked in similar social settings before, like with my therapist or with the school guidance counselor right after it happened, so I didn’t realize it wasnt appropriate in this job interview.”

    “For the third time, please leave.”

    “They all have similarly vague ‘clinical’ vibes though, right? You can see how I got confused.”

    It also destroyed the “pass the aux cord” when driving with friends.

    “Hey, I want to show you a song. Pass the aux cord.”

    Plugs

    Plays

    Now:

    “Hey, I want to show you a song. Let me connect to your car’s Bluetooth.”

    “Oh, I can’t while the car is driving. Can you pull over for a minute?”

    “Which submenu was is it in? Bluetooth or Settings?”

    “Do you mind if I remove one of the devices already connected?”

    “Oh, it just auto-connected to your phone instead.”

    “Here, I’ll just send you a link.”

    “Your phone locked. Can you enter your password again?”

    “Oh, you don’t have [streaming service] premium? We’ll have to sit through an ad first.”



  • That’s not the fault of the user/students, though. They’re different tools. One is outright worse than not using it. Neither produce lasting benefits.

    Headline: Screwdrivers better than hammers for screws.

    Text: When craftspeople were trained using hammers with screwdriver bits duct-taped to them, they were able to perform the task, but were not able to keep pace with people using screwdrivers. Another team was given power drills, which were effective in practice. However, these did not produce any benefit once all people were given screwdrivers.












  • About a year after it came out, I was singing along with it during a depressive episode and realized ‘seven’ wasn’t accurate anymore. It freaked me out, but I realized that part of the nature of the song is the impending doom, and I have to change the lyrics when I get to that part.

    …Four more to go.
