I've been settling on a stance of: I will conserve when it's convenient, and not worry when it's not. If my individual efforts don't actually matter, I should save my effort for other things.

One exception: I think that supporting alternatives, when available, does actually help, not because of the direct effects but because it helps them scale up.

Thinking about plural representation and how fantasy conceptions of magic and telepathy are so similar to how we actually function.

@merlyn383 @erwinrossen @kkomaitis This sounds like it would apply to accessibility software like screen readers as well. I'm basing this on a machine translation, but it looks extremely broad.

@minego What if I'm just comfortable?

@hollie I see this was answered already, but I wanted to mention that you can verify this using the Network tab of Developer Tools in Firefox (and probably other browsers).

I think I finally fixed my sleeping habits. I never realized until now how much my bad sleep had been hurting my mood and my focus.

We now have "failsafe" alarms for the times when we absolutely have to go to bed or get up or else it'll ruin our day. They make no sound and are a simple notification on our laptop. They are enforced by Watchful taking front and doing the thing.

We think this will prove more reliable than anything else we've ever tried.

@minego People just need to choose different options so none of them go above 50%.

@minego I kinda want to see how 0 would go.
