Interesting I’m not familiar with how these measurements are taken.

This was the source I was thinking of: China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were unchanged from a year earlier in the third quarter of 2025, extending a flat or falling trend that started in March 2024

As sourced by the Guardian

I was under the impression that they reached peak CO2 emissions and have been flat or falling for the past year or so

Which parties call themselves liberal, but are actually neoliberal?

I’m started to become convinced that there is a coordinated effort to misdefine the term liberal among the political left in order to divide us.

I see supposed progressives dedicating significant amounts of time demonizing liberals (when they mean neoliberal), despite the fact that they would mostly agree on policy if that was the topic of conversation.

Enacting progressive taxation, punishing white collar crime, establishing strong environmental protections, establishing a strong social safety net, ensuring high quality universal healthcare, enforcing anti-trust legislation, and enacting electoral finance reforms are all things that liberals support… but instead they are often shouted down by progressives online for being status quo capitalists?

We’re fighting the rise of literal fascists right now, but instead of joining forces we keep arguing about labels among people we agree with.

That’s not just money, but any form of power (in every system over time). Fighting it seems to be the eternal struggle.

Some possible reasons:

Nutritional factors:

• Lack of protein, fiber, or healthy fats, which help promote satiety

• Highly processed foods that are calorie-dense but nutrient-poor

• Blood sugar spikes and crashes from refined carbohydrates

• Insufficient micronutrients, though this is less likely to cause immediate hunger

Other common causes:

• Dehydration - thirst is sometimes mistaken for hunger

• Habit or routine - eating at certain times regardless of actual hunger

• Emotional eating - stress, boredom, or other emotions triggering food cravings

• Sleep deprivation - disrupts hormones that regulate hunger (ghrelin and leptin)

• Eating too quickly - not giving your brain time to register fullness (takes about 20 minutes)

• Certain medications or medical conditions

Food composition matters: Foods high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats tend to keep you satisfied longer, while foods high in refined sugars and simple carbs can leave you feeling hungry soon after eating, even if you consumed plenty of calories.

If this is happening regularly, it might be worth tracking what you eat and how you feel afterward to identify patterns, or consulting with a healthcare provider if you’re concerned about underlying issues.

Avoiding alcohol, sleeping on your side, and losing weight (if overweight)… can all make a big difference and none require spending money. (Source: my snoring used to bother my wife).

I hope it popularizes the idea of algorithmic control.

Me too. Invested in my setup last year :(
