Fellow Hexbearians,

I was thinking about how embarrassing it is to ask questions about things that seem obvious, so why not make a thread here? We can pool our understanding and clear up any misconceptions we picked up living in a world not built for neurodiverse people.

Ask questions about things you don't understand that might seem obvious. If there are things you do understand in someone else's question, please do so and help clear it up.

I ask that we ask and answer questions sincerely. This is a discussion about confusion and trying to understand. I think it would feel safer if we don't think we're being mocked or trolled.

I'll put a comment in the thread to get things rolling.

    i'm very bad about remembering the vibes of song lyrics, but not the actual words and phrases exactly

      Same. Probably because I have an undiagnosed hearing processing disorder. I can hear a pin drop three miles away but I can’t watch a Christopher Nolan movie without subtitles.

        I'd blame Nolan for that one, lots of movies are really poorly mixed "cinematic"

            If I had to guess, the effects they added to his voice actually make it easier to hear, if only because it can now penetrate the background noise

      That's interesting, I'm on the opposite end. I can give you a summary of the song and vibes and memorize the melody, but I can't remember exact words to save my life
