Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Has anyone posted this comic about Quantum Fetish Mechanics to the board yet? I know we've at least discussed the underlying concept...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Famous Family Aural Learner Story:

My Mother and Grandmother tutored a kid who was looking at the distinct possibility at a third trip through eighth grade. He was having temper problems and was basically considered retarded (with all the baggage that included in a tiny inbred town thirty years ago).

Turned out that he could not learn from reading. The input just didn't work. So they developed a procedure where he'd read his text books or notes into a tape recorder, go outside and play with me for an hour, and then come in and play back the tape.

He graduated High School in the top 10% of his class and went on to be a big success (not just financially, a truly happy man). To this day he or his secretary reads material onto tapes and he plays them back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I loved that HEMA site!

And I think I learn best by doing. And also by analogizing. I can always come up with, "Oh, it's like this really different-on-the-surface other thing in this one specific way!"

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Has anyone posted this comic about Quantum Fetish Mechanics to the board yet?

I'm pretty sure someone did, because I remember "Schroedinger put his cat in the box because it was CREEPING HIM OUT."

Are you a visual learner? In an immersion situation, there are a lot more visual cues.

Visual and aural, I think.
