Just as a note: $294.5M for the lump sum payout is listed very early in the article. Even after State/local taxes, the winner is still likely to clear $200-250M.

Eh, I use the Mute function a *LOT*, but mostly on people I disagree with.
I usually save Block for bots, trolls, etc.

On a day-to-day basis, my passive thoughts generally float between the two. It really just depends on where my attention is at any given moment & how much focus I give the topic.

At work, I do a lot of Worded Thinking. It helps keep concrete details like measurements, various math formulae, & materials lists in the forefront of my thoughts.
To *really* focus, I will actively vocalize my thoughts. Much to the annoyance of those around me.

Personally, I generally shift between "worded thinking" and "unsymbolized thinking" depending on what I'm doing.

For example, I was well into my 30's before I realized that "Character X thought *blah blah blah*" wasn't just a literary tool for the reader or the character subvocalizing.
Mental imagery is associated with a bewildering variety of human traits and capacities: a propensity to hold grudges; a vulnerability to trauma; emotional awareness; ways of making art; memory of one’s life. What happens if you can’t see it? https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/HgpLlB
