It feels good to know people like you exist, but it's a damn struggle man. As I have said, you can't do much for the blocks as for me they are random AF. I can't predict when they want to appear. For ...

All soft starting vowels are difficult. You get that tonic (block) spasm that converts into a clonic (repetitive) loop. I find vocabulary redirection to work best there, or muttering “goddamn sonuvabi...
