Yeah I do this to break my inertia.

“I’m not actually going to do any work, just clear my desk, then 5 minutes youtube”

“I’m not actually going to do any work, I’m just going to get my books / laptop out, then do whatever thing for 5 minutes”

… and so on …

You need practice at concentrating on your work.

In the same way you’d work out to build muscle strength, your mind needs regular training to stay in shape.

Start with sensible, achievable goals and improve over time.

How long did you take the meds for? How long ago did you stop?

I’ve been a volunteer treasurer for several medium sized non-profits.

You should have a think about what sort of charity resonates with you. Like education support, homelessness, legal support, drug rehabilitation, et cetera.

Then call a few in your area and tell them you’re considering a bequest, and would like to understand some more about their organisation and how the money is used. 1

That’s exactly what it is. Most people are hard wired to do this automatically.

Cardiovascular disease.

I think it’s coming with me though.

I think you mistake how companies work.

When there’s many millions of dollars on the line and you’re an easily replaceable deck hand the SOP is to do whatever the fuck the special consultant tells you to do.

Exactly. Reporting on what Trump does rather than what he says does not require you to ignore nazi rhetoric.

You can report on the behaviour without breathlessly trotting out every sentence.

The actual story is that Trump is using nazi phrases to stoke furore, generate headlines, and galvanise his base. It’s so tiresome that it’s working so well.

That’s not what I said.

You can acknowledge the behaviour without reporting on every utterance (which is what he wants).

I think that’s exactly what’s happened with Trump, is that deviance has been defined down in the sense that there’s so much focus on, it’s almost like an overload of sorts. The result is, you just don’t see it — it’s almost like he’s kind of normalizing this on some level. Even as outrageous as he can be, it’s been very difficult, I think, for people to maintain a consistent vigilance and see the threat that he represents because it’s kind of overwhelming, really, in many respects.

Precisely why this article shouldn’t exist. This article is normalising the behaviour. Reporton what he does, not what he says.

If they could dump it overboard they absolutely would not care whether it continues to burn.

An expert hired by the Taipei, Taiwan-based Wisdom Marine Group “is working diligently to create contingency plans, arrange for a firefighting team, and ensure the necessary equipment is in place,’ the group said in a statement.

Yeah right. They’re frantically trying to figure out how to dump the container overboard and whether the penalties would cost less than losing the boats cargo.

Let me guess…

• not very accurate
• needs to be trained on an individuals brain.

Sure mate, I guess the question of whether it’s authoritarian is subjective. Suffice to say rationing would be daft. What about roof top solar?

A very obvious example of post hoc ergo propter hoc. I’ve never heard anyone believe that, certainly not a majority.

What a silly thing to say.

I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t want to use less power.

I suspect what you really mean is that you want to reduce power requirements by some authoritarian policy.

Well how else would they get chopped up by a wind turbine?

Chop chop chop.
