It’s good the little guy got away in time! Why tangle around with a much bigger foe?

This seems like the opening of another horror movie…

Yeah, the performance on page load is a problem for me. It’s now consistently taking 30 secs to finish loading, watching the spinner in the tab button; it was 5-10 before. Another Australian site (with the same settings), also on 0.19.3, takes consistently 5 seconds; another Swiss site the same. Lemm.ee, on the other hand, is sometimes fast (5), sometimes slow (30).

Never mind, it’s most likely my browser extension.

OK, sans the offending browser extension, it’s consistently taking twice the time (~10 sec) to load the front page. Confirmed on both FF and Edge (no extension at all).

Totally awesome! Finally, a native profile/setting import/export!

Summary:

In “Climate Deniers Shift Tactics to ‘Inactivism’,” Michael Mann discusses the transition from climate change denial to a new strategy of hindering meaningful action on climate change, which he terms “inactivism.” Fossil fuel interests, previously focused on discrediting climate science, now deflect attention from systemic solutions and promote individual responsibility for climate change. Tactics include promoting the idea that lifestyle choices, not corporate policies, drive climate change, and sowing division within the environmental community. Mann argues for policy interventions and highlights the optimism inspired by young activists demanding action on climate change.

Typically, people aren’t always bored, because otherwise, you are basically emotionally flat and depressed and soon will be suicidal. Have you seen kids that say they are bored? It just means they are not doing anything that interest them.

To get “unbored”, you most likely need to be doing something that is fun, and/or meaningful, and/or enjoyable, and/or worthy, and/or essential to survival (in a way, people who are bored may be having it too easy). It may be better to be doing something productive, personally or socially, than doing something just addictive.

Even being still meditating is doing something (like actively paying attention to the breath).

Dreaming of some acrobatics.

That has to be some kind of new furry meow drink.
