Yes, same for me.

I've been working nights for about 20 years and it was easier when I was younger. Now that I am in my early 40ies I find it more difficult to just go to bed and sleep.

Some weeks I can keep a steady schedule, sleep during the day and feel well rested, but other weeks I can't get more than a few hours during the day and feel miserable when I work.

However it's also changing with seasons and things I do during the weekend. I tend to sleep less in summer because of the heat and the light. Also I go camping during the weekends and have to sleep during the night, then switch back to day sleeping during the week. It's much easier in winter because it's always cold and dark and I just stay home.

So, it varies a lot for me.

Yeah pretty often. It goes even further, as in, I don't want to participate in society, or forced capitalism, in general. I'm aware I'm part of it but I always tried to not be a part of that shitty system. I'm not buying a house, no car, no gas to buy, no superior education, no certifications or high paying job. I just wasted my "potential" and will continue to do so.

To me it looks like a big chuck of people have some sort of Stockholm syndrome towards capitalism and how our society makes us think this is some sort of meritocracy.

That being said, my behaviour can also be linked to my spicy brain. I'm probably neurodivergent but the health system where I live doesn't help adults with that.

In short, I'm disappointed by what I see around me and I don't want to join the game. I don't want to join the competition of poors against poors

Je vais le croire quand je vais le voir.

I'm not sure about the circlejerk thing. I am vehemently anti car and would like to circlejerk on one of the many "fuck cars" communities, but any post that gets some attention gets filled by comments of people not from those communities.

So I very often see posts where I agree with the content but the discussion and the comments are all over the place, from car apologists that are like "but IIIIIIIII live in the woods therefore public transit is not feasible for anyone", and it makes "circlejerking" difficult.

Like, if you have a community about mushroom and want to have enthusiasts discussing mycology, it'll be fine until a thread becomes popular and fills with users not from that community, asking what is mycology and why they should care.

To be honest, I had the same issue on reddit too and that's a major reason why I stopped going there.

Sorry

You don't even need to go live somewhere else; just visit.

I'm from Canada and went back to visit Germany and Belgium a few months ago. I already went to Germany and the Netherlands a few years ago and just used the trains. I had no fixed itinerary and was deciding where to go a day in advance before buying a train ticket to go there. It was obviously fine (most of the time) but because of how trains "work" here, I was anxious about buying tickets a day in advance, thinking it was "last minute".

Then while I was in Belgium I had to plan a train ride in Canada a week later, and there was no affordable tickets left. I was sitting in Liège, and just bought a train ticket to Bruxelles that was departing in the next hour... while trying to book a train a week in advance in Canada, and failing to do so.

Every time I have to use a train in Canada, or just any kind or intercity service, even a coach, I'm painfully reminded of how bad it is here.

I go camping for an additional night. I already planned to bike and camp to the closest national park one last time before winter, this weekend, but I would gladly add one night to the trip and go right now instead of tomorrow.

How do people intent to power cars during the apocalypse? I guess electric cars can be charged with solar or wind but it's not a small battery to charge. As for ICEs, stations are going to run out of gas after a few hours, and AFAIK, gas has a limited shelf life so making reserves for the long term would be a problem.

As someone that doesn't get cars nor the "freedom" they supposedly confer, I also never got that part about an apocalyptic future. To me, a car is already a burden, and I can't see why I would want one during the apocalypse.

Nah. Not good enough for me. I thought I would just do that but the thing still has to boot android in order to show you the HDMI input. So it has to constantly suck power like a vampire in order to keep a SoC running, and if it loses power, it has to boot the system again.

I got a cheap TCL and it smells like burning plastic, even when its "off". I suspect it's because of that SoC constantly running.

Next time I'm buying a computer monitor instead of a smart-but-not-connected TV.

FYI, 'fin' is feminine. La fin du monde.

Left alone, as in "colonize" a bit more on the land they are stealing? Ah but we must understand Israelis, they just need a little Lebensraum to "defend themselves" from the people they stole land from.

Israel just need to "colonize" and expand on other people's land by killing those already living there. They obviously just want to be left alone doing their "colonizing" and bringing civilization to otherwise barren lands.

I'd show you images of Israel expanding and taking more Palestinian land over the decades but you'll probably say those are propaganda and that since Palestine is not recognized, killing their people and stealing their land is totally fine and in the line of wanting to be "left alone".

Wait, you are saying that not having a car and a garage makes people need plastic bags?

I lived in small, and now in a large North American city, and never owned a car. The city banned plastic bags a few years ago and I already owned some reusable bags bought a decade before, so I just continued to use them.

But mostly I use my backpack because I don't have a car and live in a city where I can walk to grocery stores. Otherwise I use my bike panniers. And if I really don't have a bag, instead of buying a new one, I only buy what I can carry with my hands. Crazy like that.

Or did the sarcasm go over my head?
