    I would like to get an electric car when my current car wears out. I will not buy a Tesla, because Musk. Are their electric car models that are not hatch backs and are not SUVs ?

    So, the comments to a video will be on the right side vertical column and the suggested video will be in horizontally scrollable strip underneath the video.

    I think that sabotages people looking at more recommended videos. I hate horizontal scrolling, and I am making the assumption that other people do too ( queue the contrarians to tell me they love it, quoting studies about it being more efficient and loved. ha ha ).

    I don't look at YouTube comments and making them more visible will not change that. :-)

    There is an old movie you might enjoy watching.

    It stars Michael Landon ( Little House On The Prairie ) as a champion runner, who got fast running home after school. He did that because he wet his bed and his psycho controlling mother would hang his stained sheets out the window to humiliate him. He ran home to get there and take down the sheets before his schoolmates could see them.

    It is called "The Loneliest Runner".

    The context I was thinking of was moderated social media. A number of moderators on various platforms frown upon emotional expressions of the demise of bad people.

    if you're not a public agency and just a private citizen, I think it's safe to take a cue

    How they handle pushback from debate interviewers and the other candidates. One of the reasons Trump dodges debates. He can't handle scrutiny. Also, he doesn't have answers and he knows it.

    Yah, if your attention span is shot 25 minutes can be too long, especially for a task you dislike.

    I've used the Pomodro technique, which is similar, when I am doing something I really don't want to do. I shorten the intervals. Every 15 minute block becomes an achievement, with a check mark as a reward.

    In my experience, once I start something motivation and enjoyment comes.

    To help get through the discomfort of starting I promise myself ( and mean it ) that I only have to do the task for a ridiculously small mount of time, like 5min ( also less sometimes ).

    Raw milk is supposed to be about better health, yet its fans are ignoring basic safety/health issues. Given that I would say it is about "religion" or orthorexia, not healthier nutrition.
