MS word, Telegram, Notepad++.

Exactly that. It acts like the hand tool in a pdf reader, mouse has to keep moving.

The Firefox one is enabled already. I don’t do Chrome(ium) unless I absolutely have no choice.

… But yeah I’d like to enable it for other applications. Dunno if it is possible though.

I actually have one of those Logi mice with unlockable scrollwheels

… I only lock it for playing FPSes, to use the wheel to switch weapons. Otherwise it stays unlocked for minimal resistance.

Call it a reverse curb-cut effect, I first discovered it when I was a teenager, and back then I’d sometimes use it out of laziness or because it was quicker (ah how I miss being young and immune to pain)

Then when time happened and I started having arthritis flareups, it was there to help me, and I was like “heck, that’s a neat thing for accessibility”

Eh?

I don’t paste things as often as I scroll. Plus, my brain associates copying and pasting with the keyboard commands, from 20+ years of doing – That.

Edit-to-answer-your-edit: My mouse has 7 buttons, I’m golden.

Not quite what I was hoping for… But it does help.

Having that on Firefox is already quite the game changer. I just had no idea it was there. Thanks.

Spoiler: they won’t

but changing words is just virtue signalling that doesn’t do anything to make anything better for anyone

… And if you are the type of neoliberal politician that wants to pretend they care about people while never actually doing anything to help anyone other than the megacorps when you get into power – Then this is literally all you’ll ever do for people. Linguistic fuckery. Making up new words for things. Fucking around with definitions. And you know that there will be an army of people who will defend this, and shoot down people who actually want to do something on grounds that they said the “wrong” words.

The argument for ‘unhoused’ is that it humanises the person – But it’s really pushing it.

I’m addicted to the internet

The phone is just one of many ways to get to it.

It’s like saying a drunkard is addicted to “the bottle”. They aren’t. They are addicted to alcohol.

Nah windows is a landlord.

Plasma all the way bby

Conservatives hate government overreach

Unless someone is gay

Then the government should reach all around to prevent them participating in public life.

American suburbia has rotted your brain.

There’s the part where all the firstborn sons die unless their parents paint the walls with sheep’s blood.

People are commenting ‘fates worse than death’ and ‘being made into a labrat by the 1%’, but really, if you have infinite time to just do stuff and you can’t be killed – And you don’t somehow squirrel your way into a position of power then what are you even doing with your time and immortality, oomfie?

The loneliness part is also questionable. I know OP said it’s overly done, but I also think it’s just wrong. If you’re an adult you’ve had people in your life die before. It sucks. You miss them. But then you move on. And you meet other people. You’ll still go “:(” when you think about the person and such… But life goes on.

And that’s just life. It doesn’t get any worse if you extend it longer – If anything it gets better. You might have lost your beloved today, but you have another dozen lifetimes to heal your wounds and meet someone else and fall in love again and (…)

So here’s some lower-stakes, frustrating inconveniences of being immortal:

• Your favourite fashion? It’s not just out of fashion. It’s so out of fashion it is now considered ‘historical costuming’. You can no longer find any articles like it at all. Because the only people even trying to recreate the techniques are costuming nerds and theater people who always exaggerate stuff
• You got a song stuck in your head. It is either from before recording was invented, or any recordings of it that existed are too old to be reliably listenable. You have a song stuck in your head.
• You used to really enjoy a job you did. That entire career path is now obsolete. As per the first paragraph of my post, if you’re immortal you have probably snuck your way into the upper echelons of society at some point during your infinite time… But like. You’re bored. You loved being a Court Jester, now there are no Court Jesters.
• Actually tedium just in general. Sooner or later you’ll run out of new things to try, because you’ll have done everything that even remotely caught your eye already. So what the fuck will you do with your time? You’ll eventually just get depressed and not do anything.

There’s a book I heard about where the main character is immortal. Nevertheless at one point he pisses off some mafia dudes, and they nail him inside a barrel full of urine and throw him in the sea.
