Apple inverted / natural scrolling - I want it to GO AWAY

I just upgraded to OSX Lion 10.7, I own a normal fucking mouse (Intellimouse), not some "magic-harry-potter" mouse, and I hate invented scrolling - in fact, trouble is that I cannot find a way to change it.

When I go to "System Preferences" - "Mouse" .. there's nothing. When I go to "System Preferences" - "Microsoft Mouse"; guess what? NOT A FUCKING THING.

So gents and ladys, how do I get rid of this piece of shit so I can fucking scroll as I've been doing for the last two decades?

Jesus-fucking-Christ, fuck you, Steve!

Oh, and to you out there, who answers this question: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KINDNESS!

soft scrolling

When you are scrolling instagram reels, tiktok or other short term video formats in a relaxed state of mind. You sometimes watch entire videos without knowing why and while being uninterested. You click on profiles and scroll through feeds without any clear reason. The most relaxed type of scrolling, and is the opposite of hard scrolling.
Bro I was in my bed brain rotting all day yesterday, I was soft scrolling reels for like 8 hours. I spent like 3 of those on kazakhstani horse training videos.

Oh I love to aimlessly soft scroll!

Phantom Scrolling

When you scroll too much on YouTube shorts or TikTok, that you no longer scroll for the point of entertainment, but rather because you are addicted to the scrolling motion.
Guys I just caught myself phantom scrolling on LinkedIn shorts. This is a cry for help, someone help me.
