  • Learning the Dvorak keyboard layout.

    It seemed worth it at the time when I was playing a lot of monkeytype and I still love typing with it. But I made the full switch and forgot how to touch type with qwerty. So now I have to switch layout every time I use hotkeys and switch back to type. Switching is fast but an extra step.

    I decided to switch because I think it’s a superior layout but honestly it’s not even that worth it. You will not gain speed, just more comfortable and satisfying.




  • People are afraid to change. They turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals and the planet (willful ignorance) because they think becoming vegan would destroy their social life. They are afraid to stand out. What will happen with their relationships with friends and family. Will they be perceived as a hostile out-group? Or make life hard for everyone around them?

    This is what I think is stopping people who can even agree with veganism philosophically. If they aren’t open-minded they will simply cling to the any justification for carnism possible.

    The fears I’ve listed are not hard to overcome, it’s privileged and selfish to not even try. But the main point it’s social fears that’s stopping people.
