lash out in anger and destroy the people that make them feel that way
Small correction: “… destroy the people that they think make them feel that way”.

- Comment on How does a SO feel different from a very good friend? 5 months ago:
Some of the things you mentioned in your first comment really point to infatuation to me, like your perseonal identity becoming secondary to a shared identity, and “Anything that contradicts being with or caring for them is basically impossible to even think.” These sound like elements of an unhealthy relationship.
- Comment on How does a SO feel different from a very good friend? 5 months ago:
This sounds more like infatuation than love, TBH.

AFAIK, right now, there’s nothing available for something like Corne-ish Zen that would be as quiet as a standard chiclet-style keyboard (like your Macally). The Corne-ish Zen takes Kailh Choc v1 switches, and a linear switch (like Kailh Choc Red, Pro Red, or Silver, for example) are going to be the quietest kind. I’m typing on a keyboard right now with Kailh Choc Red switches, and it’s quiet for a mechanical keyboard, but a little louder than typing on a standard laptop keyboard, for example.
There are some switch mods out there that aim to make Choc v1 switches quieter, like “tape mod” or “floss mod”, although mods like this tend to be pretty tedious and time-consuming. There will probably be a “silent” Choc v1 switch someday, but I don’t even know offhand if one is in the works.
If you were interested in a non-low-profile mechanical keyboard, there are “silent” switches available for those (a few examples are Cherry MX Silent Red, ZealPC Zilents, and Kailh Box Silent Brown). If you type with a light touch, a silent mechanical switch might be almost as quiet as your Macally keyboard.
tl;dr: A Corne-ish Zen will be fairly quiet with a linear switch, but not as quiet as the Macally keyboard.

- Comment on can someone tell me what type of blanket this is 8 months ago:
It kind of looks like a simple wholecloth quilt, or at least a comforter done in that style. If nothing else, you might try searching for quilts instead of comforters or blankets.
- Comment on Is a scientific lifestyle even possible? 8 months ago:
Your question is really vague; I think that’s one reason people are having a hard time answering. What do you mean by “lifestyle”? Can you give some specific examples of areas or ways in which you want to apply science to your everyday life?

Depending on who/what you ask, we’re all already food, so – done!

- Comment on Do other people ever have the experience of simulating yourself doing something in your head, and then doing it in real life exactly how you imagined it? 9 months ago:
Not really, no. I wouldn’t say I’m 100% aphantasic, but I’m really, really bad at “picturing” things in my head and my visual memory is also really poor.
Even if that weren’t the case, I’m also uncoordinated, so I don’t think my body parts would obey the pictures in my head correctly anyway.
- Comment on What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up? 9 months ago:
I started making scented candles. I mostly started because I was trying to recreate a particular scent that we don’t seem to be able to find anymore. I’ve gotten sort of close but not, like, super close. I liked experimenting with lots of different types of scents, though, and it’s nice to always have something around to help get rid of cooking odors in the kitchen, freshen up a bathroom, etc.
I haven’t made any in a while – not for any particular reason, though, although it is harder to want to do something that involves being over a stove a lot during the summer. I really should get back to it soon.

I don’t know how @HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world would classify it, but I’d classify it as pretty obvious JAQing off. Hope that helps!

- Comment on Could we improve men’s mental health? 10 months ago:
Maybe the company I work for is going above and beyond then and just calling it that
That’s what it sounds like to me. Well, actually, it just sort of sounds like your company is calling normal paid sick leave “FMLA”. It’s nice to have, regardless of what it’s called, and very sad that it’s not a given everywhere.
- Comment on Could we improve men’s mental health? 10 months ago:
FMLA is unpaid leave. This is a major oversimplification, but it’s so an employee can take an extended leave from work and return to their job afterwards. And even though it’s unpaid, there are still a lot of limitations on it.
- Comment on What is the current "favorite" show? 10 months ago:
That one is right up there for me, too. Wozniak is pretty much the biggest reason I’ll try to catch the kids’ Taskmaster. I do like Rose a lot, but I don’t think her presence alone would counterbalance “show featuring a bunch of kids” enough.
- Comment on What is the current "favorite" show? 10 months ago:
Man, it’s hard to pick. Probably 14, but then a bunch of them would be a close second for me.
What about you?
- Comment on What is the current "favorite" show? 10 months ago:

- Comment on Do some people think rapping is a permutation of raping, subtly adding to the edge factor of this music genre and making it less likely older people will take to it than younger people who don't know 10 months ago:
Seizing the opportunity to mention one of the best websites ever: The Online Etymological Dictionary. Here are their entries on “rap”.
- Comment on When did Christians get involved in politics in USA? I was watching young Turks clip on youtube. There was an exmuslim guy he said pat Robertson forced Christians into politics. So when was it? 10 months ago:
On one hand, unfortunately we can’t completely blame that POS for it, because (as other people have pointed out) it’s been around for much longer. OTOH, I can find no other fault with your post.
- Comment on What do all the people do in rural area towns and unincorporated areas? 10 months ago:
I grew up in “very rural Midwest, USA”. My hometown’s population is less than 5,000, and it’s the biggest town in the county. Some other have already covered the “invisible” jobs that are everywhere, but here are some more examples. If there are houses, there are realtors, builders, inspectors, insurers, landscapers, and service techs (think plumbers, electricians, etc.). Aside from the people you see working in stores, schools, hospitals/doctors’ offices, etc., there are the people you don’t see most of the time like cleaners and maintenance people. Even the tiniest little “town” usually has at least a gas station and/or bar, even though sometimes they’re the same place. There are also police officers, sheriffs, lawyers, judges, and other city/county officials.
Someone mentioned truckers, and even though my hometown was nowhere near any sort of metropolitan center, some independent OTR truckers lived there. And speaking of transportation, cars/trucks are obviously important in rural areas, so you’ve got new and used car dealerships, mechanics, tow truck drivers, etc.
