Dull Men's Club
A facsimile of the popular Facebook group of the same name, but in no way affiliated.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
**6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Same.
I also use one for gaming.
I just find them generally preferable to any other type of mouse I've tried.
Agreed. I’ve been using them since I did PC gaming as a kid. Only downside (at the risk of sharing something non-dull) is that I eventually dislocated my shoulder from spending so many hours gaming with a trackball when I was young. I would just anchor my wrist to the desk and move my fingers only and I guess my shoulder didn’t like that.
Huh. I've also been trackballing for ... Maybe 24 years ... And I've dislocated my shoulder 14 times. I never connected the two; I figured the shoulder thing was due to volleyball, since that's how I did it the first time.
That's impressive. You must have been a real gamer
World of Warcraft is a hell of a drug.
You might benefit from a pinch mouse, which is held like a pencil. https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/dxt-wired-mouse2/
