Here's an amazing find/ discovery:
My keyboard's gotten so unreliable, and my mouse input as well, that I've been using an external keyboard for some time. I finally went back and disabled the stylus input--on this machine xinput disable 20--and damned if the wonky keys seem to have unwonkified. The next step will be to see whether crontab -e @reboot xinput disable 20 worked, as i've never pulled a crontab before. No idea what I'm doing there.

For some reason, my /mnt directory was changed as owned by my user and my group with rwx------ permissions.

I have no idea why and when and how this happened, but I figured out because I mounted a disk there to install Arch on a different drive, and pacman ended up failing inside the chroot, as there were issues with permissions. Very weird.
