Someone today noticed that I use my mouse with my left hand, and assumed I was left handed. <br/><br/>I&#39;m 100% right handed. <br/><br/>I have frankly forgotten that right handed people only use their mouse with their right hand. <br/><br/>The reason I started using a mouse with my left hand was because I had had problems with my right wrist and I also have a scoliosis, and total reliance on the right of my body was bad for musculoskeletal stability. <br/><br/>The thing is that when I need to use a mouse in my right hand, it&#39;s totally easy. But I&#39;ve got so used to using it with my left hand, that it feels like home. Just goes to show: you can change your practice so profoundly that you can&#39;t imagine operating differently. 2026-03-27T07:43:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs02esu4v8q5ugn6khxw3lddxyj5wxn4lswr2c4ufkh9rrkjn03suqzyq9ggyxvncs4sastffd58l3h4avanztq5cklstgf76eqsf950aqvyrxwxke So while I do drive, I don&#39;t own a car.

It won&#39;t remove bullying from teens&#39; lives<br/>2. The age verification tech will actually be used to compromise identity and may actually be used *for bullying*<br/>3.

Mostly because I have NEVER felt lonely in my ENTIRE LIFE. I have missed people. I have been sad because a relationship has ended. I have wanted to share my positive experiences with others. But I have not ever felt uncomfortable about being alone. <br/><br/>Now I know that&#39;s unusual. Most people do feel some kind of loneliness. But that doesn&#39;t mean I *should* ever feel lonely. <br/><br/>And when you are trying to pitch a product or solution to loneliness, it is literally never a good idea to assume that people must have once felt lonely.

I know my haircut, done yesterday, is technically too short.<br/><br/>But I love it. <br/><br/>I know it makes me look like a mangy rat. And that - as far as I am from any kind of conformity with norms of attractiveness - it&#39;s not attractive. In fact it&#39;s challenging. <br/><br/>But still - I love it. <br/><br/>And I know in 3-6 weeks when it might grow to a length that is more conforming with acceptable aesthetic standards... I will absolutely wish it was shorter. I will ache for the length I have right now. <br/><br/>I love having super short hair. I would rather have a bald head than hair that touches my ears. And for anyone who says they think it makes me ugly, I say: then don&#39;t look at me. Because I love it. And that is all that matters.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve had long hair for a lot of my life. But every time I grow my hair, I just ache to cut it all off. And when I do, it&#39;s like getting into a warm bath. I just think: OMG YES. <br/><br/>I&#39;m reveling in my short hair tonight. It feels like velvet. And I love it.<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/152/566/996/613/801/original/d500aca7694c163e.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-17T11:06:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyvm0mmrlays4nt2kntcd94dqdkgy4cd9h6mfhvsf9vwn0qnzdq7czyq9ggyxvncs4sastffd58l3h4avanztq5cklstgf76eqsf950aqvyzrstr0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswh8vr4pm9fd7r0pfcm3dv48f0dvc9er2ftnxg4prgkkgwsq73npq97vac5'>nevent1q…vac5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ollie Jay was in the ON Accelerate team, EMU systems, developing kit to measure this heat.
