Kazakhstan Impounds Property Of Russian Cosmodrome Operator In Baikonur

Lol! Nice catch! The way I do it is:


1) I actually easily type over 100 words per minute... after having strived to enhance and improve my typing speeds back in the 80's, like I was practicing for the olympics! Seriously: my Mom was one of the first female computer programmers, and during my summer vacations she "made" me do 2 hours per day in typing-speed-drills, and then after that I could do whatever I wanted for the rest of the day, including playing video games constantly!


2) Given that, if I'm honest, as per a couple of past counsellors:

I also probably have a psychological clinical/pathological condition sometimes referred to as:

"Hypergraphia".

Basically Hypergraphia is a semi-crazy incessant need to write/type constantly, usually at really high speeds. So ya, I've been constantly doing that, and enhancing a possible mental illness, since the age of about 9 or 10, back in the 1980's!


FYI:

Hypergraphia might sound like a good thing to suffer from, at first glance.

Kinda like "nymphomania" I suppose!

And sure, there's so examples of that, such as: Stephen King!

King is often said to suffer from it, and I really truly think he does. For example back in the 1970's King incessantly wrote/typed so much that he literally ordered rolls of paper to supply his typewriter with a constant feed of paper rolls. I actually once interviewed a college teacher who shared a campus office with King, and he said he couldn't believe just how much King just kept typing... and typing... and typing... and described the endless box of the rolled paper supplying King's typewriter.

So again: sounds cool! Right?!

And sure enough: Stephen King certainly made a huge fortune and whack of money from that mental disorder (assuming it's a real mental disorder).


But I haven't made millions out of it! Despite trying to write 2 novels!

Neither has the vast majority of other people suffering from hypergraphia.

Instead, my hypgraphia has only served to irritate friends, family, colleagues with ultra-long responses!

One of my work-performance critiques said that I was "Highly over communicative with emails"!

So ya... If you take a look at my comment history, you'll see these long responses of mine spanning back a couple of years on this Reddit ID, and also I have other Reddit ID's that go back to the earlier 2000's!

Not sure if that's good or bad?

Anyways... I usually delete insane tangent responses like this...

so I'll probably delete this response here by tomorrow, but still wanted to respond to you.
