  • There a huge difference between apolitical and not wanting to be spammed by left-wing echo chamber talking points. Who do leftists think they are reaching on Lemmy anyways lol.

  • If we switched to renewable energy

  • Yeah me too, I couldn't figure it out.

  • Inaccurate statement.

    https://qz.com/2113243/forty-percent-of-all-shipping-cargo-consists-of-fossil-fuels

    40% of traffic is for petrochemicals, which according to this article is coal, oil, gas, and things derived from them, which would include fertilizer and plastics and probably some other stuff too like industrial lubricants, asphalt etc. Not just fossil fuels, so not all that 40% would be affected by a switch to renewable energy. It's also worth noting that building out renewable energy generation involves shipping a lot of hardware around the globe as well.

  • Have any of you successfully dealt with the early morning awakening side effect of depression?

    Jump

  • I dealt with this for a while, although I don't think that it was depression related. I think it was more to with stress from work/ moving.

    Exercise is good, I think going to bed earlier is counterproductive. You may want to look at sleep restriction therapy- the idea is that you are trying to minimize the time you spend in bed while not asleep.

    What do you do when you wake up? Keep in mind that waking up in the middle of the night is completely normal- everyone does it, it's just normally you fall right back asleep and don't think about it. Are you scrolling on your phone, getting up or just laying there? Definitely don't look at your phone at all, that's probably the most important aspect of sleep hygiene.

    Ultimately I think for me what helped me get over this was just becoming "zen" about waking up early. When it first started happening to me I was thinking "ah shit not again! I need to relax right now to fall back to sleep! Oh no another 30 minutes have passed and I'm still awake!". But over time I would just wake up early and be like "eh whatever, hopefully I can get back to sleep." Being okay with not falling back asleep makes it easier to fall back to sleep, it's kind of a catch-22.

    Other things that have helped:

    • I don't like melatonin on a nightly basis. Honestly I don't think taking ANYTHING on a nightly basis is a good idea. Your body will adjust and you will be back where you started. Melatonin worked for me for a week or two and then stopped. I still use it very rarely but only to reset my sleep schedule, like if I have to go to bed really early one night.

    -Going back to the being chill about waking up early, try taking magnesium glycinate. Again I wouldn't treat this as a long term fix but it might help short term. It's a mild sedative, I find it helps me sleep more deeply and relax.

    -Are you getting cold? I have a high metabolism and I get colder as the night goes on. Adding an extra blanket when you wake up might help you fall back to sleep by lowering your metabolism.

    -if you're laying awake for more than an hour it's time to get up. That goes back to the sleep hygiene thing as well. You want to make your bedroom a sleep sanctuary. During the day keep your time in the bedroom to a bare minimum and don't go to bed until you feel properly tired.

    I hope it gets better for you m8. Improving sleep is tricky because it's not something you can actively try at, at least not the same way you exercise or something. I should add that there are super-short-duration antidepressants that you can take to fall back to sleep. There mentioned to me by a doctor although I never took them so I don't remember the name of the drug.

    -Even if they were right wing, intimidating/harassing/attacking someone for driving the wrong kind of EV is laughable and plays right into the narrative of the "intolerant left"

  • Its also kind of the latest stupid thing for people to attack. Is it ugly, obnoxious and pretentious? Yes. But are you seriously suggesting that bad things should start happening to Cybertruck owners to keep people from driving them?

  • Mozilla to expand focus on advertising - "We know that not everyone in our community will embrace our entrance into this market"

  • Yeah I'm not defending that but CEO pay only rounds to like 1% of their total expenditures. Developing a browser is expensive.

  • I didn't know HOW bad Google search has gotten.

    Jump

  • Yeah except OP already said they don't use Google anymore, presumably because they got fed up with it. As the expression goes, pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered. If Google has bogged down the web search experience so much that people are defecting then they've gone too far.

  • You can also add an extension for firefox/ ff mobile. Search for udm14 and you'll find it. Keep in mind this also kills things that are more useful like sports schedules, calculator, time in different cities etc. that Google does automatically. So if I want that I just open an incognito tab to bypass the extension.

  • They do not exist solely to collect revenue, although they certainly do that as well. They have been proven time and again to reduce speeding and fatalities, as other commenters in this thread have pointed out. As far as using traffic cameras to reduce police forces, I haven't been able to find that exactly, but there are plenty of examples of deploying traffic cameras to work around a shortage of officers which works out to the same thing.

    Lemmy, when someone sabotages the most viable alternative to traffic stops to prevent people from speeding: Yes very good. This is good for society.

  • That's a weird take. Why do you think anyone becomes a terrorist? It's usually not because they had a normal upbringing.
