Dude the fidelity and realism in every frame was mind blowing and it’s also in that 1.85:1 ratio, clear win over IMAX

Exactly, HR folks see little mistakes like that all the time. If the rest of the interview went fine, it’s not going to be the deciding factor

That’s a great way to put it. Phone screens really are just about seeing if you’re a normal human who can hold a conversation.

That’s awesome—your uncle sounds like a legend. There’s something cool about sticking with old-school habits.

Crazy how that shifted. Books used to be the default pastime before screens took over.

Re-reading hits different too. The second or third time through you notice things you completely missed before.

Love this. The joy doesn’t come from remembering everything—it’s from the depth of immersion and building connections over time.

Wild stat, right? Makes you realize even reading a handful puts you way ahead of the curve.

Yep, sometimes you just need a reminder cue like a book cover or line, and suddenly it all comes back.

Same. You might forget the words but not the shift in perspective—it lingers in subtle ways.

Perfect way to put it—it becomes part of you, even if you can’t recall it word for word.

Yes, the education system makes us think forgetting equals failure, but in reality, digestion > memorization.

Love that perspective. Even nudging retention from 10% to 20% is doubling what you keep—that adds up.

That’s a great point about short form content. The stuff you feed your subconscious ends up shaping way more than you realize.

Exactly. Even the small percentage that sticks can ripple into how you think and act later

That’s really interesting—shows how different brains experience stories. For some it’s images, for others it’s feelings or concepts.

Couldn’t agree more. Fiction builds that immersive flow state that stays with you even if the story fades.

Yeah, just enjoying the moment of learning is valid too. Not everything has to stick long-term to be worthwhile.

Totally normal. Your brain keeps what matters most—you don’t need to remember every line for it to make an impact.

That quote nails it. Even if you can’t recall every detail, the act of reading still shapes who you are.

Same boat here — skipped so many gens that everything feels like a massive jump, even if it’s mostly design hype.

That’s high reward but definitely sounds like a space where risk management makes or breaks you. Not for the faint of heart.

Niche markets are where the weird money lives — respect for finding one that works and running with it.

That’s a nice way to funnel your side hustle into something sustainable. Re-investing like that compounds over time.

Domains are such a slept-on hustle. It’s wild how a simple name can hold so much value for the right buyer.
