I should have paid more attention to my statistics class.

No problem, happy to help! Hoping that the book ends up useful for you. I have ADHD, so the thing you described is very common for me, but I understand that all people experience something like that even without having it, so is a matter of understanding what is causing it and work to solve it.

Firefox on android doesn’t let me login to lemmy. I have AdGuard installed and the add-on switched on. What could be the solution?

Edit: I haven’t solved the problem, but after some time trying some things here and there, I think I know what’s the issue. I have both Chrome and Firefox installed. I was using Lemmy on Chrome, so I tried to login in Firefox, and the issue started. I logged out on Chrome, and tried here on Firefox, it worked. TLDR: you can’t have the same account logged in on both Chrome and Firefox.

ADHD aside, you need to ask yourself if you like it, if you’re really interested in the content shown, if maybe your mind is distracted in something, or you’re worried/uncomfortable in the environment you are in and the likes. Have you read How to Read a Book by Mortimer J. Adler? the author explains that we learn to read just on a surface level, leading sometimes to problems like you express. He then teaches how to approach a book in a way that you squeeze the most information and knowledge from it, even if its just a fiction book; and in the process, remember everything that you read even after finishing it. What works for me is: give a conscious effort to concentrate in what you’re reading, but don’t stay in the same page, don’t even read a sentence two times. See if you concentrate better with music; I have ADHD and when I read books I need to listen to three diferent playlists to concentrate. Finally, following the first thing I mentioned, giving a conscious effort is exhausting to the brain so when you realize you can’t concentrate anymore just leave it and start again the next day where you left it, you will notice that your brain will stand more and more all the work out you’re giving it.

All this gets me a bit hopeful that we will go full circle and end up using the internet like the old days, even though it is kind of impossible now.

Why the upvotes and downvotes are acting like crazy? I’m back after a few hours and I’m noticing that in all posts. Also, I’m noticing too that I can’t upvote anything.

I think I will miss r/peoplefuckingdying, had a few laughs with that one.

I’m not old enough to remember forums, but recently I was lurking around archives of some old forum and, the community around it seemed so special that I hope we can achieve something similar. Obviously, back in the day internet wasn’t so massive like it is now, so perhaps that feeling of closeness would be difficult to achieve (?)

I will ask, is this how being part of a forum back in the day felt? Because that’s the “feeling” I have right now.
