Now I know that when people say read something they don't mean read the words but not the meaning. They mean read it and comprehend it.

Text-to-speech is your friend here.

I use a website called "speechify" but there are a lot of options.

Still helps to read along with it, but having that auditory input in tandem with visually reading will keep you on track like you've never experienced.

Or listening to an audio book and reading the book at the same time, but then often there's the case where one is a different version than the other.

I have to read out loud to myself to finish a book or an article.

It has made my reading comprehension go through the roof. And I didn't understand that about myself for my first 45 years.

Sure bud, tell me about the condition I’ve had all my life and how my life didn’t get immeasurably better when I finally got diagnosed and treated by a professional in my 4th decade of life.

So ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Trump voter?

Sometimes a headache is actually a sign of a fatal cancer that needs to be operated on.

MOST of the time it isn't.

I don't expect you to understand the difference.

I call it "reading with my eyes but not my brain", but I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't think you need to turn every god damned niche thing into a new word or initialism just to gatekeep against those who didn't know the new word just made up.
