love the elegance of markets, nothing can possibly be as elegant and therefore they must always rule supreme

people dying is just the market providing signal

love the way free market people discuss concepts like how the trade war is destroying farmers and the free market people are like it’s fine it’ll be worth it

I think I'm getting good at the whole non-dual thing. experiencing consciousness as consciousness not as just a participant thereof

really need to delve into it more during sober time meditations but problem is there seems to be an ordinariness to it, I suppose I'm simply unexeperienced enough in meditation to really see if what I am doing is what I am looking for

given that the literal easiest thing on the internet is to see naked people, i have to imagine that anyone who is naked on the internet for a living is putting out some really primo poo poo so it's probably a harder job than touching computers

its about developing specific intrigue too

like, somehow getting people to want to see *you*, and this might be because you're local or post on their fave site etc

we were on a plan like that and after i did the math over 9 months of usage it ended up costing $10-50 more per month than if we had just used a regular flat rate plan over the same interval

i think the main reason is that they tacked on another few cents of margin for themselves onto the market kwh rate so you really had to only be taking showers at 2am or whatever to come out ahead. maybe it'd be easier to cone out ahead if the margin was fixed per-day or something

lol i just checked the spot price and its 44cNZ/kwh at 10am on a mild summer day, meanwhile our fixed rate is around 28cNZ/kwh iirc but with some discounts on top of that

wasn’t sure if you saw this before but i signed up to whoever the gently caress this was at about the start of the most expensive month for power a few years ago

this was a week

sometime i wonder if trying to reduce fossil fuel use is just hamstringing a nation

as in the worlds gonna burn it as fast as possible, might as well use it to make renewable stuff better


eg here in nz we’ve got gently caress all natural reserves (but we have some) and I think they banned using them (natural gas off the coast), but of course we all still use gas so now it’s gotta be imported.


of course they should be used for the best things possible but what benefit does a nation get out of trying to reduce emissions?
