I learned to touch type QWERTY in 7th grade (late oughts).
I taught myself to touch type Colemak two years ago. I liked it but quickly realized it was a waste of time because nothing else in the world uses it and i didn’t want to give up QWERTY familiarity. lol

They’ll hang out when we’re having a good time or doing things together, but as soon as they’re no longer being entertained i don’t exist.
They also keep enworsening the fucking thing, which is infuriating.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you trade lifespan for time in-the-moment?English
1·16 days agoYeah, trading all of it doesn’t make a lot of sense. You’d like a max like 15 days or something. lol

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you trade lifespan for time in-the-moment?English
2·18 days agoYes, i agree. Without knowing how much time you have left it would be hard to spend it on anything.
I will say, though, if you’re hating life right now you might feel more inclined to spend a little longer in a good moment.
I think in reality many people would also be plagued with decision paralysis. I know i would.

2·18 days agoThe intent is really just about introspection, not necessarily making changes. But feel free to interpret how you want!
Your answer is quite good, though. If you spend your life’s length by staying in small moments you limit your ability to have new experiences. I hadn’t thought of it that way.

1·18 days agoThey’re saying that spending more of your limited time in the moments with your child earlier in their life reduces the amount of time they’ll have with you later. With this in mind, if your child found out you gave up length for depth and you’ll be leaving the world early because of it, how would they feel?
