  • Non-democratic/psudo-democratic socialism/communism: “You’re paying for this service whether you want it or not. There is no motivation to make a quality product.”

    Democratic socialism/communism: “Well, only 60% of you care about this enough to vote. We’ll put some funds into it, but definitely not what it needs. And oh dang, everyone hates it now, guess we’ll defund it.”

    Edit: I’m not disagreeing with OP. Capitalism sucks too. Socialism and Communism *can* suck. It depends on the governing body. There are good examples of all three economic systems working and bad examples of all three screwing people over. I’m anarchist and believe good systems will eventually fall to corrupt politicians if safeguards are not in place to prevent it, and there’s a bunch of sneaky intentional and unintentional loopholes to sneak in power grabs.







  • My brain is either at 100% or 0%.
    If I’m doing something monotonous, I need something to keep me stimulated, like listening to an audiobook, podcast, YouTube video, or music I can sing to.

    If I’m doing something taxing, I need some background dopamine to stay focused or I’ll get bored, tired, or unmotivated. I could be tapping, fidgetting, rocking, or listening to music I can move to (but not sing to).

    Apparently, your body is supposed to have some base level of dopamine, but some people’s base level is too low. There are links to this and ADHD.
