My 100% BS conjectures are:

• to save energy versus committing the dream to long term memory

• to facilitate childhood/adolescent development, as object permanence is learned you need the external world to be the consistent one. You can’t waste energy learning to adapt to the worlds in your dreams in later childhood.

• as adults dream amnesia can help avoid relived or newly generated trauma incurred as the begin processes your external experience.

Idk, there’s lots of possible benefits. In not about to do the research paper deep dive. But the wild part is that dreaming developed and the mechanism for not remembering the dreams also developed and there was a selective pressure for that to be the case.

Don’t be so hyperbolic

Info Wars with Dan and Jordan would be a hot summer fever dream come true

The natural selection implications for dream amnesia are wild.

I’ve only had a couple dreams that were legit traumatizing. How bad could it be to remember 100x more of them!? That’s like only one or two truly life altering traumatizing dreams per night!

Just a few bad apples.

Keep reading. It’s in the “Possible withdrawal from mathematics” section.

Let’s start with infrastructure.

Buses/metro/any public transit, barriered or not, sparsely or rarely exist. Even painted bike paths/walking paths, these usually exist ONLY in dense or older urban areas. You have either 1-1.5m wide sidewalk elevated 10cm or nothing separating you on foot from car traffic.

So that 250m is often on the shoulder of car lanes.

Now let’s talk property liability. You are responsible for injuries others sustain while on your property unless you have clearly posted signage expressing they were not allowed on your property. Even then and at best you’ll have to disrupt 6mo of your life tied up in courts+fees. (No right to roam. You do get the “perk” of open manhunting season on trespassers)

So that shortcut through the neighborhood where your neighbor laid out gravel because they care about community? Nope, that’s cyclone fence or cinder block wall. That alley between flats? Gated off.

It’s not even scale that’s the problem. You ALWAYS have to go around the ENTIRE block. A 250m Crow flight can easily be and most often is 1+km by foot, and only ever with a curb as your protection from traffic. You can’t safely get to geographically nearby places without putting yourself in mortal danger.

Also note European road design limits traffic in residential areas where the US grid system means every road is a main road and wide enough to promote excessive speeding.

Sorry, should have /s… Was 2 min after waking up lmao

The wild part is “gonna” got autocorrected and it was so much better

It’s not even opt-in wtf Gavin…

I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

Forgot my sluice gate goons raw dog this shaft work.

Abolish the credit score. US lenders could just used income like they do everywhere else in the world. But then i guess they couldn’t discriminate against women, I/POC, and family history.

I think that’s grammatically true but i tend to think of it more in terms of colloquialisms or slang. I imagine intransitive use of the verb developed out of convenience for lack of a lazy alternative. “I can’t prepare food” would either suggest you require assistance to eat, you can’t legally work at a restaurant, or your aristocratic status is beyond that of a mere peasant who has seen a kitchen before.

They stopped caring about money in legislation when they realized they don’t need to hide their grifts anymore. As long as they keep believing the library is for WASPs we’ll be fine.

That’s weird. I read comments in political posts because the straining from the rage really seems to help when i don’t have an urge at all.

I ain’t zooming in for obv Rick Asstley.

I mean that’s true of the english term as well. But if someone says they can’t cook i default to thinking they order out every meal or use a microwave fot cup of ramen. Making sandwiches, salads, and other cold foods is still a skill but there’s no word such as cold-cutlerist and i refuse andwich artist.

Lol of course not! Just joking about what others see my work as.
