Some of the things you mentioned in your first comment really point to infatuation to me, like your perseonal identity becoming secondary to a shared identity, and "Anything that contradicts being with or caring for them is basically impossible to even think." These sound like elements of an unhealthy relationship.

This sounds more like infatuation than love, TBH.

I "won" a 5-gal. aquarium kit. Recs for stocking it? (lemmy.sdf.org)

It doesn't look like a particularly high-quality aquarium set, but all the necessary parts seem to be there. Even before getting this thing, I've thought about keeping dwarf frogs. Would a 5-gal. tank be big enough for two or three of them? If not, what would you suggest? I've kept aquariums before, but it's been a very long time and I know myself well enough to know that I need something relatively low-maintenance.

I know nothing of mechanical keyboards, but I have always found cool the Corne ish Zen[1]. However, I don't work alone so I would like something as silent as possible. I have an old Macally keyboard[2 in c/[email protected]

AFAIK, right now, there's nothing available for something like Corne-ish Zen that would be as quiet as a standard chiclet-style keyboard (like your Macally). The Corne-ish Zen takes Kailh Choc v1 switches, and a linear switch (like Kailh Choc Red, Pro Red, or Silver, for example) are going to be the quietest kind. I'm typing on a keyboard right now with Kailh Choc Red switches, and it's quiet for a mechanical keyboard, but a little louder than typing on a standard laptop keyboard, for example.

There are some switch mods out there that aim to make Choc v1 switches quieter, like "tape mod" or "floss mod", although mods like this tend to be pretty tedious and time-consuming. There will probably be a "silent" Choc v1 switch someday, but I don't even know offhand if one is in the works.

If you were interested in a non-low-profile mechanical keyboard, there are "silent" switches available for those (a few examples are Cherry MX Silent Red, ZealPC Zilents, and Kailh Box Silent Brown). If you type with a light touch, a silent mechanical switch might be almost as quiet as your Macally keyboard.

tl;dr: A Corne-ish Zen will be fairly quiet with a linear switch, but not as quiet as the Macally keyboard.

What language do you wish you could speak (and/or read)? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I wish I could speak Finnish. But, actually, there are tons of languages I wish I could speak. All of them, really, but Finnish is the first one I thought of just now.

I'm in the US and English is my my primary language. I studied Russian but have forgotten a lot of it. I know a few words of German and French, but very few.

Edited to add: Please tell me what your primary language is. It would also be interesting to know what other languages you speak, if any, and where you currently live.
