Tokyo Night is just amazing.

Actually a very good one. :)

Vim is amazing.

Yes we know. :)

Numbing it was never a conscious choice, and it's not like I even noticed it happening while it did. It was a learned response to significant pain over years / decades, without having a support network to help deal with it in a healthy way. This is one of the theorized ways schizoid personality disorder presents itself, and it's not a conscious choice that people make. And it's not just a switch I can turn on and off at will, it's much more complex than that.

The biggest advantage of vim, besides the language for editing text in normal mode, is that you are really fast and it just feels like you never have to wait for your computer anymore.

Isn't it much cheaper just to get a beefy workstation with fast SSD and enough RAM so everything's in RAM. Maybe there's occasional waits but it's very short, most coding becomes super fast also with e.g. Visual Studio.

Arch Linux is the best system there is, and if you are worried about kernel stability, there is a lts kernel.

I've been using it for work for many years, it doesn't disappoint.

I play counterstrike and I frequently is at the top spot in death match games, beating second place with twice their score sometimes.

I'm 47. My reaction time hasn't slowed at all. My memory have a little bit though.

Try this reaction time test: https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime

200 is the mean, 273 is the median. I'm 21 and I average anywhere between 160-180ms depending on the time and day, but I have a low-latency setup. The best of the best can get down to 140-150 average.

I'm 61 and average 211. I don't think my reaction time is bad, but my memory isn't as good as it once was.

I have 398 so not very fast. Still I do great in CS :)

Gmail is the easiest to replace by far. You can copy everything to Fastmail in hours and be done.
