  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In youtube, you need to have paid subscription in order to watch at 4x speed.

I think the first question. Does anyone watch at 4x speed?

Personally, I often watch videos at 2x speed especially instructional videos and sermons.

Lately, I've been noticing some of the vids are slower than usual and looked if there is a 3x speed option and there's none! There's only 4x speed and 4x is paid, not free!

Luckily there are free browser extensions that allow you to increase playback speed to beyond 2x without having to pay anything.

Call me old fashioned but why watch something you enjoy on fast forward?

Don’t you want to savour it?

At first did it to save time.

But later on, I think I got so used to viewing fast forward, 1x now looks unnaturally too slow! For leisurely viewing, I watch at 1.5x speed. Songs between 1.25 to 2x speed.

I would be surprised if anyone can understand the words spoken at 4x.

I have used 2x or 1.5x to watch some college lectures faster when studying.
Yeah, it may not be possible when some data is ommitted to maintain pitch (so the audio doesn't sound like Alvin and the chipmunks). But who knows, the brain is pretty good at filling in missing info via "muscle memory". Just needs some training.

I was able to download a browser extension called "transpose" and allowed me to raise speeds beyond 2x. Currently, I can only handle 2.5x max I think eventually, I can raise this further as I get used to 2.5x.

I'm doing these things to save time and for more stronger adaptation, I'm starting to do everything in sped up mode. Even games are sped up.
