That's an auditory processing disorder. Fun thing is, it's hard to tell the difference between it and deafness until the words click or don't
I was so convinced I ruined my hearing with rock and roll music but no, my brain just don't work good.
I think both for me haha
Since young people today won't know what "internet explorer" is...

I miss the days when Chrome and Firefox used to be healthy competitors. Then one day Chrome suddenly jumped ahead and dominated the browser wars, and continues to dominate today. I dabbled with Chrome for a little bit in the early days but then went right back to Firefox.
To this day I still don't understand why everyone jumped ship to Chrome and never looked back, even as Google goes to war against adblockers. I thought that would turn the tide but back towards Firefox's favor but almost nobody switched back. They've become the modern day IE, yet people stick with it. I just don't get it.
If it's any consolation, i switched
The hatred that Firefox generates in people is strong for some reason. I am not a modern web developer but in talking with some of those who are, they seem to have made some poor choices in the past. Also people hate the CEO's choices. It seems not enough to be "basically the only alternative to Chrome". Like Chrome is Donald Trump and Firefox Hillary Clinton - it's great to offer an alternative but it just was not enough to stand on its own.
I'm typing this from Firefox on Android right now, but at work I absolutely have to stick with using Chrome since Jira and Confluence only work properly with Chrome. Many banking websites likewise. It's not enough to have moral purity - which at least the Mozilla Corporation also lacks (e.g. firing many workers while giving enormous raise to execs, also selling user data) - if the software chooses not to be functional. But by all means, maybe they can give their CEO another huge raise while firing programmers and see how that helps develop the situation further!?
I remember there being a reason why I switched. Like, there were extensions that chrome has that Firefox didn't, or some specific drm didn't like Firefox, or Chrome just ran better on my low-end hardware. Im not sure. But the adblock war has gotten me to switch back to Firefox.
I'm going to switch from Chrome as soon as I get around to it
It's bloated and laggy, Google is evil now, and Microsoft seems to hate Chrome causing the experience to suck.
I tried to switch the Firefox several years ago and it just didn't stick for some reason. now that I'm getting around to degoogling my life, it should stick this time
Lmfao I forgot about this one haha
Just like everyone forgot about Opera? :-P
shit I'm not young anymore!
almost like half leg in my grave..
The way I imagine it is like a car going through a roundabout and missing the exit and taking another or sometimes multiple turns before getting out.
delayed retry of failed operation. most of the times it works for the 3rd try..
one of my professors told us to develop a really good "hmm"
I've gotten good at mixing it up between: "sure," "right," "absolutely," "of course"... Just have to make sure I don't accidentally agree with something vile
And another professor will tell you to avoid filler words.
Made me think of Shoresy, how he asks a question, and then says "huh?" as soon as the person starts responding lol
My partner just.. waits.. now.. rather than repeating themselves, because they know full well I do this.
It’s very annoying when I legitimately didn’t catch some of it.
Haha. You cried wolf one too many times.
Wait, does he mean "Huh?", or "Huh"?
It's just noise you make while thinking of what you're going to say, not unlike "um."
I have the same response, though I've always ascribed a different reason to it. I like to think about what people say before I respond. People are uncomfortable with silences. The conversation flows in a much more smooth and socially acceptable way if I can fill my thinking pauses with the other person repeating what they just said. I dont think I'd do it if people didnt need to incessantly fill every silence in a conversation with words
that I got a lot, even if I don't really have ADHD.
