oh that’s awesome!

by default my computer interprets them as forward and back but i’ve got to be honest, it doesn’t do it for me 😂

I have a mouse that happens to have two extra buttons off to the side and mapping those to ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ has been the best thing i’ve ever done for my productivity. Also mapping middle mouse button to ‘screenshot to clipboard’ but that’s just a personal thing i happen to do a lot

you make an interesting point and it reminds me of a counter point: that modern wars might have higher death tolls than historical wars, but modern wars - with modern weapons - end up costing less life overall compared to the populations of the time.

for tribal conflict of humans past, victory could mean wiping out the other tribe - 50% death toll or higher. as weapons advanced and more efficient and more destructive tactics emerged, wars can be more violent and more deadly but shorter and with fewer deaths compared to the overall population. wars became efficient.

all this is to say that if we didn’t have modern weapons there would be more killing - not less. “victory” would necessitate more deaths.

i bought my house at the top (two years ago) and no regrets. less about it being an investment and more about having a stable place to call my own that gives me safety and not at the whims of a landlord. i’d quite like it if house prices became more affordable for everyone, the counter intuitive thing to say. 🤷‍♂️ i was supposed to become a nimby and vote conservative but now i’m more left wing than ever.

they prefer to be called “housing providers.”

nice! keep up the support!

…but it does make imports and foreign purchases a lot more expensive for regular russians.

there’s a lot of reddit posts (yes. i know, the heresy) and youtube videos on this. tldr: get good lawyers and financial advisors before you tell anyone, and let them help you work it out.

an inch larger! lawd…

free money has dried up, now they need to monetise your habits.
