I have to make a conscious effort to avoid doing this because I know how exhausting it is. Especially if I don’t know the person very well. Often I clam up instead to avoid it. And I will still end up doing it sometimes. It sucks. I don’t think it’s a super power or cute - it’s embarrassing. On the plus side I’ve had some comment that my nearly eidetic recall and ability to link seemingly unrelated subjects together on-the-fly seemingly effortlessly is what makes me interesting.
Just do it. Stop yapping, start doing. The hemming and hawing and trying to be proper about this shit is infuriating. They don’t play by the rules so, fuck it - pull a Brazil and yank the rug out. It worked.
Vaxee, Zowie and Endgame Gear make the highest quality mice I’ve tried. The first two have onboard configuration with no software necessary. But if you need the side to side wheel navigation, Logitech.
