Any of you read the article that OpenAI wrote? Here's a quote: "The operation sought to exploit and amplify existing public concerns about energy prices and local impacts of data center development, but we found no evidence of meaningful breakout beyond its own activity ." So it's less "China is making you hate data centers" and more "they tried but it didn't work".

TL;DR: "Brexit has therefore not produced an economic crisis in the conventional sense. The UK economy has continued to grow, unemployment remains relatively low, and many firms have adapted. But adaptation is not the same as absence of cost. The more relevant counterfactual is not whether the economy is still functioning, but how much better it might have performed; on that question, the evidence is increasingly settled."

It's kind of a strange article... UIACE are widely regarded as being impartial and that does seem to be reflected in the text, but this conclusion is still kind of vague. Seems to boil down to "It hasn't been too bad but still might be". Feels like kind of a pointless take. Brexiteers will probably latch onto the first half " Brexit has therefore not produced an economic crisis in the conventional sense. The UK economy has continued to grow, unemployment remains relatively low, and many firms have adapted " while remainers will point to the second half " adaptation is not the same as absence of cost. The more relevant counterfactual is not whether the economy is still functioning, but how much better it might have performed; on that question, the evidence is increasingly settled ". What it doesn't offer is any insight as to what the middle ground might be in terms of reconciliation and what a more nuanced future might look like.

Absolutely! and the even worse part is that you can go for years not even thinking about the person that wronged you. Then one day something reminds you of them and the ADHD brain will speed load everything they did to you in a second. When that turns you into a rage filled, barely coherent, crashing out, panicking mad person everyone around you is like "woah there... what's wrong with you?! You're acting really crazy right now... Yikes". That's a reallly lonely feeling. The only person who doesn't do that is my wife because she knows what's happening and is really good at talking me down from the ledge.

You can fix this problem by always going to bed at 3:30am. That's the point where the tiredness gets louder than the ghosts of the past.

I will admit, as a brit, that my automatic reaction to being startled is "Good Lord!"... 🧐
