I disagree. Most people are able to self-regulate in more instances than you give credit for. In instances where someone is unable to do so, I would agree that a full prohibition probably makes sense; such as with alcoholics who are unable to stop themselves, but this is not the case for most people.

Interruptions - fear not the notification, for you hold the power to calibrate your notifications to the level that suits you. I'm particularly aggressive about disabling notifications and especially notification categories that do not add value, and you can too.

Resisting - many humans have reported experiencing even more enjoyment engaging in activities they enjoy if they delay their engagement until meeting a predetermined goal. If you know that scrolling through your favorite app for 5 min will give you a dopamine hit, you can choose to delay using the app until after you've completed a chore, for example, and that may offer enough incentive to complete more tasks than you might otherwise be able to perform.

That's fair enough, I absolutely agree that his resolve is notable and his voice should be elevated, but will we see that happen in reality?

Resistance seems like a bit much, can we compromise and agree it's the first sign that a Democratic senator has a pulse?

Is the blue state Canada?

I've found it effective to follow this with, "yes, now you're starting to understand the problem"

 

I was expecting a conservative quarter point reduction, but it seems like the Fed is feeling bullish about inflation and concerned with the labor market, which has cooled much faster than was previously predicted.

What do you think? Will this move come with the positive effects while keeping inflation below 3%?
