Feeling empathy for a person who was an asshole. Crying because of the misfortune that led them to behaving like that, all the while completely disapproving and ready to fight against it. Mdma is wild

You took a photo of a wall, but there's a little bit of grass showing in the corner. Off with your head!

Imo, it's the human condition. Everyone is good at some things, average at most, bad at others.

Occasionally it happens that sone kids are great at academic achievement and they get labeled as "gifed" because that's what's superficially celebrated in our culture. I say superficially because after school it doesn't matter much

Often I wish I was attracted to men. Gay guys seem to find me attractive, unlike (both straight and gay) women

There's probably some link between human genetics and psychology. It makes sense knowing how other mammals work. However the studies are overwhelmingly so flawed and irreproducible that the entire field can be dismissed

Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews... Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there's the spiced and coated varieties

That's their idea, pray for rain? How far they have fallen. Old Slavs knew that only human sacrifice helps bring rain

All the time. Depending on the app and device, my spell checker might be set to American English, British English or Spanish. And I never check which before I start writing.

One quirk of not being a native speaker of English is that I don't really have a default spelling - colour or color, it depends on what the spellchecker says

Alpine for example uses musl, and Gentoo offers it as an option.
I don't completely understand the benefits, my own programming experience is several layers away from inner workings of an OS, but at least some distros claim there is space for improvement.

Oh I wish I had your perception of time

The role of a distribution is to curate packages - select the right combination of versions and verify if it works together. Providing package repositories is also a big one, imagine if you had to compile everything on your machine yourself on every update (khm gentoo khm).

Other than that there isn't really a lot of space for innovation. After you have a kernel, some base packages, package manager, and maybe a DE, you can install everything else yourself.
The main point of differentiation these days in on the package management side - do you want a rolling release, or a more conservative approach.

There is one point of innovation left, but it highly technical and somewhat risky for everyday users - libc alternatives. The C standard library is one of the few core packages in a distro that can't really be replaced by the user.
