Not trying to pry into your intimacy but what is motivating such a concern for speeding up your media consumption rate?
I don't know what to tell you. It looks like to me that you seem to think that somehow I am wasting my enjoyment of the media. Or that my consumption of the media isn't the right one or fulfilling or something like that.
As I said before, I can understand everything. Why should I listen to or watch something in normal speed? It's just a waste of time in my case.
When somebody can hit a target that is 300 meters away, why would you tell them to shoot at the target that is only 100 meters away? What's the point in that for them?
I don't know if that is a good analogy, but I don't know how else to explain this.
imagine someone told you they ate bananas sideways because it's faster and cleaner. That's probably how they feel.
I guess I can see that, but I never said that it is cleaner. It's the same for me. It's not dirtier. It's not cleaner. It's only faster. Eating the banana sideways might look weird to other people, but there is literally no advantage for me to eat it normally.
When someone tells you that they finished a book in a really short time, the first thing you think is probably that the book is really good and they had to like it. You probably don't think, "oh, that's not really reading. You technically just skimmed through it, you don't know what you even read."
Some people read faster. Some people listen faster. It shouldn't be that surprising.
Genuine curiosity.
