You're welcome! I was never musical, but have experience with fitness so this clicked for me with how the focus is on developing muscle memory/strength rather than on how something sounds.

I had a similar experience. I've had a lot of success following this guide here.

Lots, but the biggest for me was how I could never feel comfortable with the type of man I would become. I knew I didn't want to be like some of the unkind men I knew, but I also hated the idea of growing up into even the kindest and most fun men in my life.

I spent so many years trying to figure out how to do manhood, always feeling like it was wrong. Sure, I wanted to be a woman. Sure I wished I could live and present as myself, but that's not manly. (Lived like this for years without being able to acknowledge I was trans btw, crazy looking back)

Finally accepting that I could be who I wanted to be is so freeing, and makes me see the years of dysphoria for what they were.

That last one from Jane is so fun, I'm sad her channel isn't more active.

I used those figures for ease of understanding and easy math.
Easy, but not accurate and therefore misleading.

At no point did I believe there was a factory somewhere selling widgets, or that a person named Joe was salaried as he built them.
No one thought you did.. until now.

My overall point is that for all economics to remain the same, average productivity per worker per hour must remain the same, otherwise there will be price increases or other economic effects.
Correct, things will change. The point is that the system can handle those changes. Price increases will happen, sure. But if we take a look at the year prior to [current year], prices tend to go up. Rather than use this as an argument against working fewer hours, or not paying employees more, we should be using the systems we have in place to provide as much benefit to people as is reasonable. Since the 4 day work week does work, (many examples of companies increasing productivity this way) this is a reasonable benefit to push for.

So in this example, the revenue is $1100 a week per worker. If the worker does make $1000 for that time, that does spell doom.

Let's work it the other way. A typical business allocates 15-30% of its revenue to payroll. If an employee is making $1,000 a week, that means that if this widget factory was making enough to be a reasonably successful business in the US today, their revenue per worker would range from $3,333 to $6,667. This means the company would be "losing" somewhere between $667 to $1,333 a week by paying the same wages but losing 1 widget.

Overhead is not exclusively the $1,000 you pay Joe. It is also whatever else you pay to keep the factory in business and Joe working. Some of this, like electricity, will decrease when Joe is at work less.

Now if you consider that for decades the widget factories have been making more widgets, but paying the workers lower wages, we have a healthy widget empire more than capable of supporting a 4 day work week.

Examples like these are only helpful if we use realistic numbers. $1,000 a week for a worker's wages is plausible. $1,100 in revenue from that work is not.

I think if widget factories could have that tight of margins, the issues would be totally different.

No competent business owner would employ someone whose value could become non-viable with a fluctuation in fuel cost.

When we were dating, my wife and I would poke our fingers in each other's mouths when the other person started yawning. It was funny, but we got tired of it really fast and made a pact not to do it anymore.

We've been together for 8 years and we still nervously side-eye each other when we yawn. If we're feeling mischievous, we will flinch towards the one yawning to scare them.

Natalie has hit it out of the park with her last several videos. Always worth the wait.

I have all the issues with Discord that you mention, but struggle to find a better alternative. Do you have any recommendations?
