Wow that sounds familiar.

If I do manage to keep my motivation (lol) it's usually by setting a specific time to work on my project. That, or I take advantage of times I'm bored with little to do (like at work)

Have you tried HERMETICS or GRAPES?

Edit: Just shared HERMETICS here because it's really helpful to me

Little bit of c/fuckcars in there too ;)

This is great! Very thorough and interesting - something about timelines that diverge around 1970/1980 are very interesting to me. A little more familiar and niche. Can't wait to dig deeper into it later on :)

Neither. I'm insisting on intellectual honesty by asking how the US and Canada's response to a missing sub off their own waters is relevant to the Greek response to missing migrants off theirs.

I am certainly in agreement that billionaires are unhealthy for society and have no reason to exist. Their wealth should be redistributed. But I will not let my ideology eclipse my humanity. Nor should anyone.

I'm fine with my tax dollars going to rescuing both. It would be a much better use of my money than more bombs

And the fact that these responses are from two completely different countries and continents. Unless you're talking about the media response, which OP has specifically said he's not. He's more concerned about having to pay taxes.

If you're not talking about media response then the whole conversation is pointless. It's not "hypocrisy" that Canada and the US responded differently from Greece to a crisis next to their waters

I don't care how much you pay in taxes. If you calculated what percentage of your actual income went to trying to save people (specifically in this instance) the number would be infinitesimal. And you better believe that if this incident is found to be the result of corporate negligence there will be lawsuits and more.

The fact that people turn legitimate anger and frustration from class warfare into hatred and indifference toward the suffering of fellow human beings is fucking disgusting. And I guarantee if you were in their boat and needed rescuing you'd spit in the direction of everyone holding their hands out for you to pay them to save you

Oh no, 1% of my paycheck is going toward efforts to save lives
