That's not really an answer.

The things that make people feel/act this way are typically the really important stuff that has to get done or else there are consequences.

We can't just accept 'i just couldn't' in many of these situations.

This is how politics works and how it should work.

The sides involved have competing goals and work together to pass legislation which addresses both their goals.

This isn't weakness.

The crux is here.

Then I'll do something else that pays more.

What separates skilled from unskilled labor is that the unskilled labor force have no skills to do something else that pays more.

While I support the idea that every job should pay a living wage, the idea that there shouldn't be a difference in pay based on the rarity of the skillset of the employee of question just isn't workable in am open market society.

Holy shit, boingboing.net?

That's a site I haven't heard of in a long time.

It was one of the first websites I remember regularly visiting in the 90s, and looks like they haven't changed much since.

That's cool.

Deflecting, are we?

The actual information you want for troubleshooting is in the mini dump and it's actually super useful.

Tracking down the cause of a Windows BSOD is pretty easy.

It's very easy to replace Israel with another state in the same place without killing or moving everyone.

Israel is an ethnostate. Ethnostates are bad. Ethnostates that are religiously motivated are doubly bad.

Israel could be a secular state that treated all ethnicities equally with zero loss in life or need for anyone to leave the area.

They chose not to.

It's not antisemitism to acknowledge this.

I'm excited for it for the same reasons.

I don't have skill in art or coding.

But AI platforms have let me produce things that work for my personal needs that would be beyond my abilities before starting the project.

My trick is melatonin and PBS YouTube videos, audio only. Ones I've seen before.

The audio is enough to keep my mind from running on it's own and eventually the melatonin kicks in to take it down while it's distracted by dinosaurs or whatever.

Melatonin on it's own will just make me suffer being tired but not able to rest my mind enough to fall asleep.

Listening to something interesting like an audiobook will do the same.

It needs to be something that will catch my attention but also not be something I really want to hear more of.

Music doesn't keep my mind from wandering like speech does.

It's funny because it's true.

It's been used that way in common parlance for as long as I can remember.
