I do most of my work on my laptop, which has a really shitty touchpad (a system76 pangolin 12). Using the touchpad to scroll, move around, etc. feels clunky and frustrating. Using my wonderful keyboard feels amazing, quick, and responsive. Honestly, that's the main reason I use neovim; touchpads, especially bad ones, just feel clumsy, imprecise, and inefficient.

Now I've gotten used to typing nv and, in under 30 milliseconds, getting a full-featured, LSP-supporting text editor. Other editors trigger my impatience now 😂. The features are secondary to me, they're not what makes nvim great.

If there were two things that are a game changer for me though, they would probably be <C-o> (mixed with plugins like trailblazer) and the incredible ease of use that vim macros offer.

(As someone who has never studied economics) The purpose of banks is to encourage the act of saving money. The problems you describe are with money itself; money, which is essentially a virtual representation of debt. I can highly recommend reading “Debt: The First 5,000 Years” by David Grabber.

This explains so much... I always wondered why it went away when I turned the power strip off... (this is real). In all seriousness, I am shockingly relieved. Also very annoyed. Very, very annoyed. That monitor was so goddamn extensive!

Except that my cat instead chooses to sit on my face and meow furiously until I get him breakfast.
