That’s never been my experience, but I’m glad it helped you in your situation.

I made a ninja edit, you might have responded before it was up:

victim blamers are all the same.

There it is, explicitly.

That wasn’t really the point being discussed, though. It was about having time to practice healthier coping mechanisms.

lol - they didn’t have to. victim blamers are all the same.

eta: not being able to relax is a mental illness, anyway - usually anxiety of some sort. The cause can still be entirely environmental… such as a lack of time to relax.

lol

Yeah, and mental illness is just people pretending to be sick, right?

I hope you get the help you need someday.

The last paper is insane.

lol

This is only good news if it displaces thermal coal and gas generating stations.

It hasn’t before, why would it start now?

Yeah I got my wires crossed and mixed up the numbers. According to the linked actual article it comes down to missing info related to arrival time.

Lol yes, you’re absolutely right. It comes down to the serving time. My brain was a bit frazzled I guess.

The one I’ve been on was in Shanghai.

That’s really just markets, though. You can have markets with different methods of economic organization.

There isn’t always a solution.

Yeah, well, the EEI is only moving in one direction after all.

Don’t worry, it’s far more optimistic about our situation than reality calls for.

If the working class at large were willing to choose degrowth, as individuals have, then they could do something.

With a critical mass other types of action would also become more feasible, as I touched on.

I stand by the thesis that they won’t mobilize, but that if they were to do so then they would be able to make a difference. Even if they only destroyed infrastructure in a failed rebellion.

In the end it is a moot distinction, I guess.

They can’t be honest about waging a culture war without defeating their own talking points is often why.

I was a shitty musician but I’m always jealous of the joy pros get from playing. Their seat is the best seat in the house!

Lately I approach it from a somewhat Information Theory standpoint, and consider that possibly qualia in superposition are essentially not rendered as in one position or another until an interaction occurs that requires it to be in a singular state. In a sense, perhaps the superposition isn’t multiple states, but a single ambiguity that becomes resolved only retrospectively. (I imagine this might require temporary cosmological branching for isolated systems, until the point they resolve and re-integrate.)

The customers are arriving slightly faster than they can be processed, so the queue grows. 5.8/hr < 6x10/hr. There does seem to be a missing parameter to arrive at the specific conclusion of a 5 hour wait, though, such as the length of time the queue is open to additional customers during the business day.

edit: As pointed out, I misread and was mistaken. The customers are served slightly faster, so it only comes down to the missing info of arrival time.
