Maybe you don't have a learning disability, but you definitely seem like you have some sort of mental block that is preventing you from being able to learn certain things. Maybe things you consider boring, and you can't focus enough on them to get past them?

Did you want the MS job? I mean, I could figure out how to make things overlap without repainting, and I'm a 4-year-old child.

Why would you need a B-tree when you only append to the end of the logs?

Yeah, but the abstractions have a penalty on your mind.

>Maybe I'm imagining things way better than they are

Yes, you are. Read the archives to learn more.

I was saying that the bacterium is -larger- than the ovum. By a factor of 6.

I think she meant that a lot of hemming and hawing in the conversation is really maddening to someone who can feel something negative is coming. The fact that it's said is the important part.

There's something to be said for read, fire, aim rather than ready, aim, fire. You can only aim if you have a good perspective on the issue, which you probably don't if you lack expertise.

That largest bacterium's size is incorrect. It shows a chain of them as 750um, but in reality just one can become that large. In the picture, they look as big as a human ovum at 120um, but obviously that's not accurate.

Eyes feel blurry after playing this game. Uncomfortable. Want to go to bed.

Yes, you can still learn when you're older. Especially if you have an inquisitive mind like most hackers. The brain doesn't "solidify" completely as you age, it just solidifies the knowledge you already have. People have learned languages past 30, just by immersion, which is a very complex task.

That drawing is realistic yet creepy. I like it. The shading is perfect, yet incomplete. Sort of an uncanny valley type thing, gives you a sense of unease.

Nope, anything you use a lot loses its punch. (That's the idea behind the article)

Hey. Dude. This game is awesome.

You can't really play it for free. That's the thing. It's basically unplayable without payments. Why people don't just avoid it, though, that's beyond me.

These tiny sentences (in your version, and in Hemingway's stories) remind me of little children's books (and the alt-comedy storyline from the Martian steampunk shoot-'em-up Jamestown). IMO they appear a little condescending themselves.
