            Things tend to linger when we don’t understand them or didn’t initially hear them well

            Yes, I mean I have 10/10 visualisation/internal hearing/etc but the language denotation of “hearing” something that does not enter your auditory nerve is… odd

        I’ve never seen it with the x equals up front. It works much better when it starts with -b.
