#3 More on breath: the thing in this video makes me want to hold my breath. I've learnt to not do that, though https://t.co/gBcF4nxN8b

@bashu_thanks yeah this is such a distinct sense for me. A lot of the times I can just "feel" that I have something important copied even if I don't remember what. The hand yearns for a ctrl-v

@bashu_thanks yes! I can feel the weight of my clipboard! https://t.co/9y22jzMnqF

Do you ever feel the weight of what's in your clipboard? Like when you just copied something but you haven't pasted it yet, it weighs in your mind, and you feel a small but not insignificant sense of relief when you paste it?

@bashu_thanks You forgot to mention one of the most strongly-felt mental devastation: the sudden unintentional, unavoidable closing of hundreds of browser tabs that have been there for months -- surely this is a microdose of what it feels like to lose one's life purpose. (Note the "micro-".)

@bashu_thanks I still get the "something on clipboard" sensation but it feels chiller now that I have a clipboard manager such that if I forget about it then the DATA isn't lost (only the INTENTION to do something with it) https://t.co/x65xStS59b

@Malcolm_Ocean hah yes it does suck when the intention lives on but without the data
