  • I’ve been in this situation for a few years now (Working from home, wanting to share screens between devices).

    KVMs and HDMI Switches are what to look for, as others have said. Scenes aren’t something you’re going to get cheaply, but you’ve still got options. For reference, I currently have three 27in 1440p monitors.

    The first one I bought was a cheap 2 HMDI IN->2 HDMI OUT that worked pretty well. It’s straight 1-to-1 matching, you can’t mix and match what goes where without actually moving the cables, but it was great for having my main and right monitor be easily switched between my Desktop and Work computers. My left monitor is just for my desktop so I can multitask.

    It died after a couple years and I upgraded my main monitor to my first 1440p which it couldn’t handle anyways. I wanted to use my main with Display Port so I got a 1 HDMI IN->2 HDMI OUT for just my right monitor. Center monitor has multiple inputs so I just use the screen’s buttons to switch.

    My current monitor setup I literally setup this week. Each has multiple HDMI and DP inputs and it takes just a few seconds to switch each one with its built in switcher, and I honestly think this is the way to go.

    After a few years of doing it, I say if you are able to, prioritize nice monitors with multiple inputs and use their built in systems for switching. A few more button presses, but that’s just a few seconds of time.




  • No? I didn’t have a bad childhood, and I’m sure there’s lots of memories that were made, but they’re long gone. We grow, learn, and evolve. Memories mold us into who we are now, and while it’s good to have important memories documented for recollection (such as keeping a journal), the majority of life is mundane or repeating tasks so those memories are ‘overwritten’ (so to speak) with more recent and relevant memories.

    It’s generally strong emotional moments that we remember best. Lots of people in the comments talking about remembering their trauma. I vividly remember my spankings, and my brother dragging my arm across a car window edge, and other bad things.

    But I also remember the good times. Going on vacations, spending time with extended family, hobbies I enjoyed as a kid.

    Comparing the amount of memories I have from being a kid to now though, my childhood memories are just a distant thought at this point.




  • Ding ding ding!

    My high school was in the nicer part of town, literally separated by a river from the rest of the city. Back then for second languages our school had Spanish, French, ASL, German, and even Latin! Our school had science teachers that won statewide awards, our football team was very competitive, the marching band (and music program in general) was phenomenal.

    This was just a public school, and I’ve more than come to terms that the experience I had is nowhere near the norm compared to the rest of the country.





  • There’s two punchlines, not one. The obvious one is the “inappropriate” joke, the second is the person on the right actual hoping for something naughty and being disappointed it was just a play on words.

    Not saying it’s a great second punchline, but that’s how I’m seeing it
