Is this a good opportunity to introduce everyone to my obsession with not being able to consent to have public advertisements or sudden, unannounced advertisements hijack my brain from whatever i was trying to think?
if it's less than ~10 words yes
if it's more words my ADHD psychic shield of "i aint readin all a' that" kicks in
There's this meme in argentina were people write "puto el que lee" that translate kinda to "gay who read".
It's even harder to ignore people who are talking to you, or are just talking loudly in general.
I have seen plenty of signs and things I didn't actually read. That's how I end up missing exits on the freeway. 🤷♂️
Some people can, some people can't.
Don't assume what you do is normal for anyone else.
Don't do this while driving, but if you are a passenger in a car, focus on the traffic, the car in front of you, but NOT the license plate. You generally can't read it. You get a sense that there's a 'G' in there, but can't figure it out until you focus on the plate. The brain is funny that way.
