If you drive the same route every day, for instance commuting, your mind doesn’t bother storing events it has experienced hundreds of times before. So, twenty minutes into the drive when you happen to try to think back to what has happened recently, you get nothing. Because, nothing of interest to your mind happened.

TrackinDaKraken@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?English1·2 months agoWhen people say, “I don’t use drugs”, almost never do they include alcohol in that. Alcohol, which is a drug, is always referred to separately, in large part because it’s a beverage. Most people, if asked, will agree that alcohol is a drug, but it’s not really categorized as one in their mind on a day-to-day basis. No one has a glass of wine at lunch and thinks, “I’m doing drugs now.” But, if alcohol as a liquid simply didn’t exist, but exactly the same effect could be had in pill form, I don’t think people would be taking a pill with their dinner, and washing it down with water.
Every 100 years, I guess. We gotta go through all the shit every 100 years.
My entire career, I got a one-hour lunch, and two, paid, ten-minute breaks.
I know some will say you’d rather not because that’s just more time at work, but with a one-hour lunch you can leave work, that’s the whole point. It’s a real break. One hour is enough time to go to a restaurant, or you can eat at work, and take a short walk. Half-an-hour is barely enough to time to eat and use the bathroom.
I guess what I’m saying is unionize.
