  I’m a 5.

  Probably why I prefer graphic novels and was not really into textual books that much. I wish I could play a whole movie in my head while reading a book. I’m so jealous.

  My dreams are super vivid though, and lucid dream often. And I remember my dreams in heavy detail. My dreams are like a 1 or 2.

  You have an end point that’s pretty close, and that’s great! If you know that your load will lighten up after, keep at it.

  Rely on your partner and friends for connection and help you through it. Be frank about your feelings. The people who turn to alcohol and adultery because of stress are the people that have been unfortunately told to keep it in and shoulder everything on their own, or unfortunately don’t have support. Find support and healthy outlets rather than turning to destructive substances or actions that are hard to take back.

  You can do it!

  Is the extra hours needed because of living expenses? Or extra hours of push and experience for your career progression

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The article does have this caveat. “Context still matters. Job type, home setting, and leadership quality vary. Yet the direction remains positive. Even with modest differences by role, the health and satisfaction curves point upward. Inside those curves, remote work behaves as a flexible option that organizations can calibrate rather than a rigid rule.”

  Though I will say your argument is still centered around being productive and effective for the company (ie.make money for the company), the article specifically centers around an individual’s well-being (sleep, family life etc.). So not the same metrics.

  Other articles and research I’ve seen that did center on productivity did conclude that yes, it depends.

  Throwing out Stingray for people who often just need background music. Radio like music channels.

  Rich people (top 10-20%) are either financially smart or have financially smart people advising them. They will be well diversified in all asset classes. And will have a lot of liquid capital ready to buy after the bubble bursts. And also keep themselves fat and well fed. The wealth transfers up.

  Yeah, a UK friend of mine mentioned that it is meant to prevent kids from playing hooky (ditch school). Meanwhile in Canada, we’re free range children.

  Or does probably depend on the school.

  Deliberately used as the “enemy” by the fascist state as scapegoat and distraction. Queer people were also targeted by Nazis.

  So like, a sample of the general population?
