    • At home I use the mouse right handed with the left and right click on the normal buttons.
    • At work I use the mouse left handed and have the left and right click swapped.

    I do it because my right hand is getting sore from clicking but at home I still want to play games.

      So … Some people’s brains are wired with directions being absolute, and some people’s brains are wired with directions being relative. One of the easiest ways to tell which way your brain is wired is to switch your mouse to the other hand. If your brain is absolute-wired, then the main button is always on the left; if your brain is relative-wired, then the main button is always the one closest to your body.

        I think this is probably bullshit?

        Sure when using a mouse in their off hand some people might use a different primary button.

        I don’t think that necessarily provides any insight into how someone’s brain is wired, nor whether or not absolute or relative brain wiring is actually a thing.

          Yeah if there’s anything human beings like, it’s symmetry. I also alternate mouse hands but the buttons need to be swapped. Left vs right hand may not matter but primary is always under my pointer finger.

        Its literally a trauma response to poverty, its a kind of hypervigilance.

        It can be a superpower in many situations, it can be a debilitating neuroticism in others.

          I haven’t been in debt for like 2 years now and I still tell myself that I don’t need to spend more money on food. I probably skip dinner (that I can afford to eat) 2 or 3 times a week because the only way I’ll eat something is if I pay for it.

          At least I’ve beaten the odds of obesity…!

    I have full on conversations with myself. To the point where I simulate talking with two people. I don’t have any multiple personalities or any mental illness (as far as I know), I just use it as a way to think about what I need to think about.

      I think that’s normal if you have an inner voice. I do that too to an extent. However, not everyone has an inner voice. I can’t imagine how life works for these people, but it’s not that rare not to have an inner voice.
