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!

How can I remove inverted scrolling in OSX Lion with a normal (NO MAGIC MOUSE) mouse? Apple inverted / natural scrolling - I want it to GO AWAY

Stop scrolling

"Stop scrolling" is a request that never works. If somebody says "stop scrolling" to you, you won't.

Terrifying white woman: "Stop scrolling, veryuselessperson78!"
veryuselessperson78: "Leave me alone."

And then the dog came in.

scroll fugue

A disassociated state where someone loses awareness while scrolling social media and unconsciously drifts between apps. Similar to a fugue state, it involves memory gaps, autopilot browsing, and the sudden realization that you’ve ended up deep in another feed without remembering how.

I knew it was time for bed when I got sent into a scroll fugue last night while scrolling on X.

sour scrolling

This is when you are scrolling on social media and the more you scroll, the more angry, bitter, irritated, or sour you get. It happens all the time.

Kelsie: "OMG! Can you believe that Luna is going to Greece?!?! I'm so jelly!"
Rachel: ""Yeah, whatever. (continues looking into her phone with a scowl)"
Kelsie: "Hey! You know you can just stop it with the sour scrolling and be irritated with what's happening in your life!"
Rachel: "You mean like you being that bitch almost daily? Nay to that yay!"

Bloom scrolling

When you are reading stories or looking at memes that are genuinely positive. The opposite of doom scrolling.

I spend 30 minutes a day bloom scrolling to remember there's still good in the world.
