  • Not all rest is equally refreshing. If you have a sleep deficit build up, a bad mattress, a loud environment, some psychological or physical condition, it can negatively affect your sleep.

    You should look out for stuff that makes you sleep worse. I don’t do sports in the evening, I try not to eat too late and I don’t look at my phone the second I hit the sheets. There is also a midnight high I particularly struggle with. If I don’t got bed before it, I absolutely cannot sleep, unless I take melatonin.

    Takes a while to figure out everything for you personally.

    Not necessarily right now, but once you connect the dots.

    Since the last election, things basically went from “who needs a military anyway?” being a not that uncommon stance to a huge fucking war next door, hybrid attacks and a noticeable uptick in espionage. And today we were reminded that it’s actually happening - our most important ally is now led by a maniac.










  • Your caption totally doesn’t match these graphs.

    ‘The lesser evil’ might as well be left (leaning) from the majorities POV. In that case the shift would be to the left. And furthermore you seem to be assuming that this shift continues because you keep voting for the ‘lesser evil’?

    I think that’s contradictory. Voting for someone is telling them you like their course best. Why would they change their course if they are already getting the votes? (Or lead the polls?) They would only do so to capture another parties audience - and only if their own ideas are not popular (enough) already. So the contrary is true: Parties tend towards whoever is getting more votes. This is only logical, because that’s ultimately what they need.

    Having to vote for a ‘lesser evil’ just means your system is broken, corrupt, or you feel like you have no other option. In functioning democratic systems, you will see fluctuations based on the general sentiment towards current topics. What’s currently going on tends to have a much more significant impact on voters than any ideals.

    To give you a very simplistic example: Economy bad -> People vote for guy who (they think) will fix it. This was a big factor in Trumps victory. (And there are probably also more racist then you think.)

    The former acted because he was personally affected by a person supporting exploitation within a liberal system, the latter leads an authoritarian regime that allowed their CEOs to do what they do until they got annoying for whatever reasons.

    So if you want to talk objective results here, sure, one of them got a higher kill count. However, who has the moral high ground here is not even up to debate IMO

    The audacity of playing victim when there’s a warrant for your PM because he’s responsible for war crimes, while at the same time your country is occupying and illegally settling on the land of the people he’s committing war crimes against, is remarkable.
