Comment on Some people are really good at concentrating their attention. (when writing software, playing games, reading etc). It's a superpower. What are other attention superpowers?

  I think you've got the right idea on this one (and yes, they very much were making hyperfocus sound like a fucking X-Men power, only to ask if I craved powerlessness when I challenged that notion)

    Yeah. For fun I checked from another account and they edited out a lot of their inflammatory remarks that were downvotes to make themselves appear more reasonable too.

    I get enough of this in my daily life and don’t need to be lectured by a child who thinks that all great human accomplishments happened because someone paid attention really hard for 6 hours straight.

      I empathize. Shit's hard enough without having to deal with people judging you by their own hilariously inaccurate preconceptions.

        For real. Either way I appreciate you fighting the good fight even if it’s a futile effort!
