When you do that enough times you learn about how much your fantasies inflates your expectations and can adjust to roughly the right amount of green.

Or you can invert it, think of all the things you’d miss if you lose what you have now.

Accept that it’s there and go about my day. It will fade just as all the others before it.

Because the eternal enemy of the far left, the United States, spent the first part of the 2000s at war with Islamists. (And before to a lesser extent due to US support for Israel)

Both the far right and islamists want to blur the line between islam and islamists in order to push moderate muslims away from the west. The far left being opposed to anything US does will defend it.

I don’t think there are many passionate anti capitalists that do both business and YouTube.

And if you’re not passionate anti capitalist you won’t bother doing it from an anti capitalist view.

As in anti capitalist approach or neutral approach?

Are you transparent with what your goals are. Are you giving them correct information. Are you giving them all important information and not lying by omission.

Comparison is the thief of joy they say. So if you’re worse prepared than me I can make that thief work for me by comparing myself to your unprepared ass while we hide from skynet.

Importance of up/ down votes you receive should be proportional to the effort it took for me to give

Do you remember how anxious and insecure you were 10 years ago? Think about how much better are you at dealing with that shit today.

That just keeps growing.

Did you get enough sleep the nights before? Have you eaten well and had enough to drink? Do you do modest exercise?

Don’t think anyone can do a full 8 hour workday of only deep mental work, about 4 hours is more reasonable. Fill the day with some less challenging work.

Automate stuff, fix stuff that does not automate.

CDs. They take up less space. Especially if you throw the casing away and just have the actual CD. I don’t have any device that can read either so keeping them usable is not a priority.

Just some foregin country’s national day.

Depends on exactly what nutrients your plants are missing. Your own Compost usually works well

When you get hit by a gun you don’t go flying.

I get annoyed when it gets put in my way of doing what I’m doing. The top 10 search results are AI slop when I’m looking for information about some obscure topics for example.

I’ve had it do useful tedious things for me. It’s failed at found useful difficult things. I’ve not paid for any specialised model though.

Midterm polling seems to favour Democrats over Republicans.

I think it’s more a generic cost of living rising that punishes whoever is in charge rather than disliking any authoritarian policies that drives the polling numbers.

Yeah sure, you could do that.

Speed of light does not change. So you’re still looking at a stupid long latency.

How do you block and unblock the light quickly? The faster this goes the more data per second you’ll get.

We have some aging reactors from the 1980s.

Generally favourable views. It was a mistake to stop building them.

If you find the cooling water you can build one in my back yard if you like if the town I live in gets a few cents per kWh you produce.

Buy a pot. Buy some soil. Buy some seeds.

Put one thing in the other, you may have to experiment in which order they go. I found that pot - soil - seed worked best for me.

You sound like you suffer from decision paralysis. You need to get started with something, anything. In a few seasons you’ll learn. If you expect the apocalypse to happen sooner than a few years my strategy would be to run towards the mushroom cloud. You can’t rush this.
