I’m delighted when people text back and we have a conversation, though I don’t find it frustrating when that doesn’t happen.

This is mainly because I keep track of important conversations in some external system, messages I’m waiting for, etc.

You never want to be sitting there waiting for a response, the only reason that’s annoying for you is because you have that tug on your mind and you’re not able to do other things until that tug has resolved itself. Keeping track of it externally means that you’re not having to keep track of it internally. That’s what you’re really frustrated at, that pull at your attention that means you’re not able to focus on other things.

I studied systems theory, I’m just recounting what I know based on how I understand systems work.

pp. 83-5 Thinking in Systems Donella Meadows talks about hierarchy, resilience, etc.

We are in a more resilient position outside the EU than we were inside of it; we are dictating our own laws, we are becoming more stable by no longer relying on immigration to fill in the gaps of our job market, no longer reliant on foreign aid.

In the short term, of course this is painful. It’s withdrawal symptoms. In the long-term, it means that the UK will stick around for longer, regardless of whatever turmoil our neighbours get into.

I think we were always told it was going to be bad before it got better.

I wasn’t old enough to vote for Brexit at the time (just under the voting age), and I likely would have voted for Remain had I had the chance, though it feels a little unreasonable to judge the outcome of the Brexit decision just yet.

That’s not how you respond to someone saying “people are stupid.”

That’s not true at all. If I had the means to do so, I would be donating more, though I’m living pretty precariously myself.

Oh ok, thanks! That’s odd it would show the update for you earlier than me, it’s showing the updated information now.

Um, no? The article you linked to shows that they’re planning to launch it, though they haven’t actually tried yet, let alone achieved a successful launch…?

People have been getting crushed by machines since the industrial age began; machines are inherently dangerous, there is so much that could have been done to prevent this from happening.

5: 1, 0, 0, 10, 100. (or 4 if uniqueness matters).

I am sure there is someone else out there who also does this. You’re looking for validation.

If you have the finances, then it’s not a huge issue. If you don’t, then you may want to try and not do this. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Attention is where you place focus on something. This is done through both the action of looking and the action of taking that information in and comprehending what you’re looking at. Attention can be applied to other senses too, such as listening, feeling, etc.

It’s also another word for alertness.

I would say that it’s a bumper sticker, an exclamation, to show that the person driving is fun-loving and country-loving.

Has similar vibes to YOLO (you only live once) as well.

Hasn’t this happened before?

7 trillion is not 73 trillion.

Edit: Just saw the 7.8 trillion figure for the US to switch to 100% renewables by 2050. That’s a long time to wait.

I still use it occasionally for some things, though I’ve noticed a steep quality drop on Reddit. I spend much more time on Lemmy.

They aren’t being picked from the plant, the peck of pickled peppers Peter picks are from an entrée of already pickled peppers.

The shells she sells are sea shells for sure.
