    I sit because I'm trans lol. And when the toilet is nasty, I squat and hover. I know they make stand-to-pee devices, but I'm just really not stoked about having to carry a piss-covered prosthetic all day.

    Choking someone until they pass out is absolutely not fine. That's extremely dangerous and will cause permanent harm. You shouldn't should never be anywhere NEAR the point of losing consciousness.

    I know choking can feel good, but there's no safe way to do it aside from just putting your hand there and applying zero pressure. You're literally depriving your brain of oxygen.

    Idk exactly how the wpm calculation worked or if/how it accounted for errors. I just used those typing speed test websites, but I don't remember which. I know it would've been all lowercase, no numbers, and no punctuation, in a short, 30-60s burst. So I'm sure if you tested me under stricter conditions, my real speed would've been much lower.

    And I used both my hands, so 4 fingers, making it less than 2 presses per finger per second which seems reasonable.

    For my 95wpm, I tested my speed using the same conditions on monkeytype. But I did it again just now (30s, capitalization, punctuation, numbers) and got 73. I never bothered to learning numbers or symbols. Sorry, didn't mean to mislead lol.

    I'm in my mid-20s, and I taught myself to type using only my index and middle fingers (plus thumb for space bar). Had about 80 wpm, but made quite a few errors.

    A few years ago, I swapped to Colemak and took that opportunity to finally learn to touch-type. Now I'm at 95 wpm with much better accuracy, and I don't need to look anymore. Feels way more comfortable to type too.

    On mobile, I still use QWERTY and type with my thumbs. I can do that reasonably well with my eyes closed, considering the complete lack of tactile feedback.

    Are you joking? Gerrymandering, voter ID laws, purging voter rolls, attacking mail in ballots, limiting polling places, getting MAGA goons to act as "poll watchers" to intimidate people... The Supreme Court literally just gutted the Voting Rights Act if 1965.
