You don't need many to become impractical. But you need China levels for it to become geometrically impossible.
Time for 12ft.io I guess.
Its profit in the long run yes. But in short term extra people accumulating debt means less cash floating around the bank to put into other investments.
This can be an actual problem if it someone goes to withdraw their balance and the bank literally doesn't have money becuse too many of their credit users spent the banks cash.
I like trains.
Currently learning dutch through Memrise on my phone and spaced repetition on obsidian.
Its slow going due to being swamped in school work. But i've found it more effective than my highschool french class ever was.
Oh that's me. I'm tired and bored so I'll share my story.
I was "depressed" because of working an abusive toxic job and commuting 2 hours a day for dimes. While at the same time spending my free time in the doomerism of r/fvckcars
Filled out the doctor's questionaire and was diagonised with anxiety, and depression. I even had the bottle of pills before the hour was even over.
Lost the job, and swapped my pass-time from pessimistic r/fvckcars to more optimistics YouTube/notjustbikes
No more depression, never needed those anti-depressants because it was never a proper chemical depression.
To many doctors just want to medicate the symptoms and never bother to consider the sickness underneath.
Not OC, but some ways to "reduce consumption" are reducing our usage of inefficient technology by replacing it with more energy/resource efficient means.
Examples include replacing individual automobiles with mass transit, building more dense cities to reduce consumption of construction materials/ vehicle miles, and not training massively large language models in facilities that consume more energy than an entire small country.
Apple is highly restrictive on their OS and over priced. They are extremely pro consumerism with heavy marketing and engineered obsolescence to ensure you are always pressured to buy their new tech, and they are historically very strongly anti-right-to-repair.
Microsoft is bad. But at least they are primarily a software monopoly.
The black hole in the centre of the universe.
Use binary. You can count super high on your fingers, arithmetic is as easy as it gets. Binary is the best number system.
