If I'm actually reading with the goal of thorough understanding then it will take as long as reading it aloud or longer. I can still skim through the text faster, but I will understand less of it.
The Wikipedia article on subvocalization has a section on speed reading. It seems that subvocalizing can in fact limit the reading speed.
This is not a good explanation because as someone already pointed out a lot of (most?) people do "read the words aloud in their head". For me, I often even make tiny moves of my tongue and larynx - see subvocalization.
Literally the point of money is to exchange it for something.
Excellent explanation. Saving this for discussions with friends.
For me the reason is that I just feel better eating less carbs. I feel less energy swings, I don't get sleepy after the meal. But eating actually low carb (say <50 g daily) is just very inconvenient to me as I really don't like cooking and meticulous meal planning. Well, and carbs are often fucking delicious. So in the end I eat pretty normal but I do avoid carbs whenever it doesn't require too much effort.
I get quite a lot of cravings and eating random stuff (like mentioned butter) between the meals is quite common for me. But on the other hand I really like physical activity and I'm pretty good at keeping a rolling estimate of my calories and macros. I use that to compensate for weird stuff I've eaten during cravings. I will adjust my next meal (or all the meals next day) to be lighter, I will go for additional 10km walk or run, stuff like that. In the end I'm able to keep my calorie balance in slight surplus which works out quite well since I'm strength training too. Occasional cut resets the situation when my weight gets too high. As for macros, I'm eating a lot of protein, and trying to keep carbs relatively low, although usually it's probably not really in the proper "low carb" territory. I also eat vegetables and fruits regularly. I think I'm keeping pretty much perfect weight. BMI is kinda high but that's due to muscle mass.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could. I never did that because I have enough reason and willpower. But eating a bit of butter by itself as a "snack" is something I do sometimes and I'm sure I could eat a lot more if I didn't control myself.
Man, this would not work for me. I'm always willing to eat butter.
Not sure why you are downvoted. This has to be terrible for your body. Maybe unless you have some very specifc spinal issue or something like that I guess?
Maybe they just want you to let your guard down to deal the final blow when you least expect it? Better be careful!
Yes, I hate them! And apparently you can literally fucking die from messing with them too?!
Is it even possible to not care at this age though? At this point school and interacting with your peers is a vast majority of your life. I don't think I have ever seen a kid being bullied every day at school and not caring. How can you not care if you're scared?
I guess it is possible as you get older, more mature and closer to adulthood. But for a kid in a primary or middle school? Kinda hard to imagine for me.
