Yes, I read the article. How does the training work?
Well, they started by teaching participants to produce mouth clicks. Then they did exercises judging the size or orientation of objects, and they also had them move around with the help of simulated click-plus-echo sounds tied to their positions.
i've located the echo!

Writing just "this" adds nothing to the discussion.
Writing “Writing just "this" adds nothing to the discussion” adds nothing to the discussion.
I would argue that explaining why people dont like the usage of "this" is more useful than people writing "this"
And I would argue that explaining why people dont like the usage of "this" is not more useful than people writing "this" because of the Streisand effect we’ve witnessed and that you and I have now created is even more detrimental to a thread because it creates a distraction from the original topic. We now have a subtopic competing for brain cycles that clearly adds no value and is likely making us all stupider.
I award us no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.
But wouldnt that reply to the "this" comment and this subtopic discourage people from writing "this", making a subtopic like this rarer, but also reducing the total number of new useless comments?

Honestly it only made me more likely, and I would have replied with it if someone else hadn't already done so

Hella dis sir
That is correct.
Writing ‘Writing “Writing just "this" adds nothing to the discussion” adds nothing to the discussion.’ adds nothing to the discussion.
"I was about to type the same" is another option
Showing there is some sort of consensus is not nothing
Complaining about an internet comment thread as if you're a teacher in a 3rd grade class isn't helpful tho
Fortunately, we have a block button, bye
Since the dawn of the internet it is known that "I agree!" comments don't add anything to the discussion. If you don't want to learn something new, then, as your teacher, I can't do much, son.

Yes
Perhaps
