    An important aspect of teenage life is the social aspect. Every teenager wants/needs to belong to a group of peers. It is quite literally the primary drive of the average teenage brain. This is how humans learn to live in groups since the dawn of history. Sucking you thumb in public will likely, negatively impact you social status among your peers and is therefor naturally discouraged.

    On the one hand it is okay to be you, but on the other hand you need be very steadfast and confident if you’re going to withstand teenage social pressure for something like this.

    I sucked my thumb until about 18, but only in bed. Than I got a girlfriend. We quickly moved in together and slept in the same bed. She knew that I sucked my thumb, called it cute and didn’t make me feel awkward about it. However, I practically couldn’t wrap my arm around her and suck my tumb at the same time, so that’s how I stopped doing it.

Gamers of Lemmy, how do you mouse on the couch?

I’m not a gamer, but I like some casul games from time to time, like Timberborn or Shapez. Yesterday I wanted to start a game again, after a period of not gaming since february or so. I’ve been getting used to sitting in my comfy chair in the evening, doing some programming or some online ciurse. I would like to game in my comfy chair as well, instead of sitting behind my desk where I’ve been working all day. But games demand much more intense mouse usage. A mouse does not work very well on an armrest. Have any of you solved that problem?
