Oh, I didn’t follow your sarcastic “suggestion” to read up on tact as a lackluster veiled insult because you didn’t have the balls to write what was really on your mind? What a wonder.

The fact that you admit you, yourself, failed to find anything intelligent there is proof of your lack of reading comprehension.

Enjoy the self-imposed echo bubble of stupidity. Hope you don’t lose hearing from the echo, would be terrible for your audiobooks 🙄…

“engaging cognitively”, so that’s the first half of your point in shambles 🙄.

Also, I can do articles too,

If I’m telling a truth, emotions don’t come into play. If not, feel free to correct me (spoiler: you won’t because you can’t)

And? I don’t have any obligation to follow your “rose glasses” narrative.

If you want everything packaged softly for you then just don’t go on the internet 🙄.

I’m not sorry I value truth over emotional pampering of strangers.

It’s a post about literal cognitive decline. Your red herring about audiobooks is misleading. I merely corrected your wrong and you’re sensitive about it.

If you’re misinterpreting my usage of “stimulation” as “enjoyment” or “engagement”, which you were, by the looks, then those are feelings.

If you were interpreting me accurately, and yet still dispute the fact that reading is magnitudes more engaging cognitively, and that the original post was about cognitive decline, which cannot be fixed with a stopgap like audiobooks? Then you’re an idiot. Plain and simple.

Notice you’re distorting my words because you couldn’t argue against my real point? Or not, because your brain fried from not needing to use it through audiobooks 🙄…

I said “stimulation”, as in, of the brain.

Clearly you need a strawman to argue against that point.

Oh and shut up about “feel[ings]” it’s literally proven that audiobooks activate the brain less than actual, physical reading. You know, with your fucking eyes.

Clearly already tanked your reading comprehension, for one.
