  Nitpick: the proper term is “virtual desktop” or “workspace”, as “desktop environment” is already a common term for the software composing the entire user interface.

  I enjoy using this feature on any operating system since it lets me quickly scan through and declutter open windows, and place categories of windows in their own workspaces. I might have only productivity windows on one, and leisure and socials on another. It’s especially effective if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigating inside and between workspaces. All this improves my productivity and keeps distractions away.

  Every time I sneeze I redirect all the air into a cough. If I actually need my sinuses cleared (e.g., at the end of a cold germ) I just blow my nose. Am I in the minority?

  Try hanging out in philosophy-focused spaces, some of them are pretty close to the “civil discussions on hard topics with moderation good enough to toss out manipulators and build everyone else up” sweet spot I’m always searching for

  • any organization found to be using human meat in their product would be massively and permanently screwed, except maybe north korea
  • human meat is a bad choice economically because farm animals have centuries of selective breeding behind them to make them ideal for consumption (pretty horrible but that’s how it’s worked out) and humans put all kinds of toxic stuff in their bodies which makes eating any human a gamble
  • I don’t eat veal so my risk of eating a person by accident is further diminished
