the additional workforce would come from other segments - which finally means reduction in standard of living for the average citizen.
This is a great point, one also addressed by Kropotkin in The Conquest of Bread. However, you're assuming all labor meaningfully contributes to our standard of living and produces "societal achievements". I'm not so sure about that, I have yet to see any benefit from e.g. the advertising industry.
As Kropotkin and Graeber both argue, capitalism breeds many bullshit jobs that help capital accumulation but don't actually contribute to a better society. Transferring those workers to necessary jobs alone would allow us to work less without a meaningful loss in standard of living.
Will that get us to 4/10/10? Probably not, but I like to be a little aspirational. If you only demand a workable 40h workweek that's all you're getting, if that. Any further demand will simply be met with "but we already gave you what you wanted you ungrateful peasant!" :)
There are limits to how far people are willing to go, and you're talking to someone who already bought a Fairphone. Maybe not someone you should be overly concerned with, all things considered.
There's tons of theories on reading skills, but really the only things proven to be important are identifying key information and active recall.
As you read, try and identify the key sentence in each paragraph and mark it (I like to use sticky labels). I also label key paragraphs. After each chapter or so, close the book and try and recall what you've just read. (If you've properly identified key sentences this will help you remember.) You can write down what you remembered as a summary and check the key sentences to see if there's anything important you've missed.
A very common mistake is re-reading. This feels like work because it's tedious, but won't actually help you remember much more if you just reread poorly a second time. The quality of the reading is much more important. Over time you should improve your monitoring whilst reading and you might not need to mark and summarize. Monitoring is checking in with yourself on whether you're reading properly whilst you're reading. So during the reading you'll take mental note of key information and recall what you've just read in your head.
What people though? I've seen this 'fact' mentioned online which seems to trace back to some 2022 article. But growing up Fugazi was seemingly always considered emo.
I think the biggest issue with the overly long plots is how every arc feels the same because the solution is always 'never give up' and 'work hard to get stronger'. Unless a shounen comes up with some original take on how to solve problems I don't think I'll feel compelled to try one again.

Just saying it's not new or miraculous technology 🤷🏼 it's just a clever and convenient consumer product.
The better we can differentiate consumer trends and marketing from actual technological innovation, the better off we'll be. cough AI cough
So it's an overkill blowdrier, got it.
We probably need closer to 10hrs of sleep (e.g.).
I think a 24 hr workweek is pretty ideal, distributed as one prefers (3x8 up to 6x4), so 4hrs work per day not counting Sundays.
4/10/10 is what we should strive for in the current age I think.
More of a spin on bullshit job I'd say.
Ye, good ol' bricks.
Cross-laminated timber and bricks.
Which I'm sure are not appropriate in many cases but it's what I could think of 🤷🏼
Ftfy.
From fasces I think, same as fascism.
Banned unless utility is proven.
Batteries can be recycled pretty well actually.

It's near Springfield, Massachusetts apparently.

Shrubbery.
I feel like dresses are probably the most forgiving piece of clothing fit-wise.

I made it to like EP 130 of Naruto and then never touched a shounen again, lol 🙈
I find Simard pleasant to read. When the Forest Breathes is her most recent afaik.
Against the Machine by Kingsnorth is top of my to-read pile. From the blurbs and leafing through it it seems to end on a fairly positive note.
Fugazi is an emo band.
