I understood it differently. Although I don't use it, I know it exists and it does have an upside (or at least, it used to).

I used to go to the library a lot to force more focus with less distractions. I never reached the level of productivity I aimed for, no matter how hard I tried. Sitting still and focusing for an hour straight? Might as well ask me to solve world peace.

I was gutted when I had to move on from XP. Bring it back!

I used to have premium for $9.99/mo until I got an email about them raising their rates come December. No thank you.

This is due to vasodilation.

"Vasodilation occurs in superficial blood vessels of warm-blooded animals when their ambient environment is hot; this process diverts the flow of heated blood to the skin of the animal, where heat can be more easily released to the environment. The opposite physiological process is vasoconstriction. These processes are naturally modulated by local paracrine agents from endothelial cells (e.g., nitric oxide, bradykinin, potassium ions, and adenosine), and by the autonomic nervous system and the adrenal glands, both of which secrete catecholamines, such as norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively.[6][7]"

It's the opposite of vasoconstriction, which occurs when you're cold and your extremities have less blood flow to prioritize the warmth of your core organs.

I always like the idea of Eve Online. Then I start it up again and hate myself.

Feels like a paradox of intolerance. If they're okay with their status quo, it's hard to sympathize.

You and a super intelligent snail both get 1 million dollars, and you both become immortal, however you die if the snail touches you. It always knows where you are and slowly crawls toward you. What's your plan?
