By being cheaper for cheap customers by having razor thin margins and they don't complain since it is cheap.
More expensive customers then turn into pure profit but have a hard time going to a competitor who can't undercut you without the scale benefits you got from your cheap offering.
Also massive tax breaks due to "bringing internet to the masses" which your competitors can't get.
Sorry to hear that and sorry for nagging you but I couldn't possibly be more intrigued after reading this! Can't you just like dream up a bed or a nice hammock on a beautiful Caribbean beach and go to sleep in the dream or something? Or is my understanding of what lucid dreaming (having never experienced it, probably... never tried on purpose, never wondered about it) too much like Inception and not enough like it really is?
I've never felt tired in a lucid dream, so the thought of going to bed in the dream doesn't make any sense for me... I've always been wide awake in them.
There are some benefits to it if you're able to harness it. I've solved plenty of different programming problems in my dreams, only to get up in the morning and then go through the motions again to make them real. Sometimes it feels like the day is just on cruise control because you've already done this.
And while in lucid state, does time feel faster/slower or about the same? I get lucid dreams sometimes but either I get too conscious and wakeup or eventually forget that I was lucid therefore I haven't been able to experiment much with it.
So for you do you spend whole 8 hours lucid and does it actually feel like that?
Let them play out without controlling the dreamscape.
Alternatively, close your (dream) eyes and let the dream dissolve intro dreamless sleep. You will still be lucid, but there will be no dream, only empty consciousness. It feels sort of like floating disembodied in an empty boundless dark space. It is a blissful experience.
If you get bored of that you may be able to recreate the dreamscape, just like when you perform WILD.
I have a neighbor who watches TV all night, and they’re up early. I’ve met several people like this. It’s a thing.
I doubt it’s a “trip” they’re after.
I’ve thought about their dreaming, and my hypothesis is tv noise tricks the brain to not identity or disassociate from the dream. I guess they sleep better than when they sleep in silence.
I had some kind of a career crisis last summer, I just couldn't do anything at all for days, and felt very bad about it, since I have always liked my web-development work, tech, and computers in general.
It took me quite an effort (money, time, psychotherapists) to understand that I am not my job, and more importantly other people being not very happy with what I do is not a reason for me to feel bad about myself. It was very easy for me to start scolding myself after getting not-so-positive or not getting the feedback I expected at work.
Anyway, I think it's a process - my attitude towards my work is never final, I used to think that vespene gas here will get depleted over time, but it's probably not how it works. Some day it's worse, some day it's much better.
