Fuck yeah.

I've thought for years that the most attractive features in a person are Curiosity, Care and Growth (as in, learning and improving yourself).

Sounds like you've got those in spades.

Nah. You can't do much about how you look, beyond basic hygene and self care.

You can easily do something about being interested in other people's lives, and being happy for them being happy and commiserating with them when they're sad. The bonus with this focus is it also makes you feel better about yourself in the long run.

Risk is probability times consequence. Focusing on the odds without considering the second half of the equation is stupid.

Is it possible to be comfortable with two desktop OSs (e.g. shortcuts, mouse) (self.asklemmy)

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

When reading (or listening), what kind of imagery hits you the hardest? (self.asklemmy)

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
