For mice they may have used to be the case, but recently wireless has become more popular (at least in CSGO.) 3/5 of the most popular mice used by pros are wireless (including the #1 spot.)

I dropped out after a year of college and have since weaseled my way into a dev position, your observation could not be more true in my experience. I've since strongly considered going back to school for a degree, but as interesting and probably useful some of the material may be, I'm not convinced it's worth it as an investment into making me better at my job.

If only I could use 529 funds on some of these online course providers.

> Couples splitting up because one is heavily more invested in dancing than the other is a common occurence.

This unnerves me. My partner could and would dance all day, anywhere, any scenario. I have to be unbelievably drunk to come close to anything resembling dancing. Any event we go to together that involves dancing is intensely emotionally debilitating to me for that reason, and sometimes I worry that it's a basal insurmountable incompatibility between us.

Insanity. How is a system like that remotely acceptable?

That's why the have (had?) all that fun stuff on the back of the cereal box. Or the morning paper. It's not a new phenomenon that we strive to fill our idle time with some kind of stimulation.

I used to wear them pretty much every waking moment, but recently I have become very suspicious of their effect on me.

I don't necessarily think it has a negative affect on my hearing, but I feel in general that it brings down my outward awareness as a whole. It's a very isolating experience, being in noise-canceling, and I think normalizing being in that zone conditions my mind to become very insular and broadly ignorant of my surroundings. As I start wearing them less, this noticeably diminishes.

And speaking specifically to my personal situation, I feel it directly aggravates my anxiety through this mechanism.

I think the difference here is that the OP of that post claims the representative told him to chargeback as the resolution to his issue. In their position, I would've probably done the same.
