Care to elaborate?

You’d be surprised how quickly you can get used to cold showers. I’ve been only cold showering for about 5 years now
How cold is cold? When our gas went out in the summer, taking a 'cold' shower was bearable, some days even enjoyable. In the freezing winter? Tried it once, never again. I'm not even sure it would be safe to shower in water that cold for any long periods of time.
After you do it if or a while, your definition of cold changes. First it was cold during the summer, now in the summer the water doesn't feel cold at all. For me to really feel cold water (after years of doing this), it has to be well before freezing outside and even then I can be standing under this water for minutes at a time.

Problem: Modern laptops like the macbook run cold. Maybe future node versions can address this.
Are new the macbooks really running cold? I haven't used the arm models but the intel ones would always seem to be warm with that lava hot spot on the bottom no matter the state of the fans.
Yes. I bought a M1 Macbook Air a couple of months ago. Living in a cold climate, I came to realise this is an unexpected drawback in the winter.

Pretending these little moments do anything to help is not a liberal idea. It’s just as stupid as avoiding exercise and eating less to reduce your carbon dioxide output. It demonstrates a complete disconnect from the ability to contextualize real issues from things that actually help. Stopping climate change is not a “liberal idea”, at least not in the mainstream liberal sense. Airplanes are still filled with liberal…
It is liberals that do try to do something about climate change, while the right in the US still question if it even exists.
Some do, but doing something stupid and patting yourself on the back is worse than doing nothing at all. At least someone who intentionally doesn’t do anything knows they aren’t doing something and might vote for real change.

In my experience, those that don't take any individual action rarely take any meaningful action on any other plane either. Either you get it and care, which means you do whatever little you can do yourself and work for changing the society, or you don't get it and you don't care.
Those that criticise individual action are most often the ones that can't bring themselves to sacrifice even the smallest pleasure or convenience, but still feel a small pang of guilt whenever they see other people doing their best to do their part.
