Google for polyphasic sleep. By fucking with your own sleep schedule you can reduce the number of hours you sleep while still getting the same restful effect. There's a few different schedules, some work better than others. The concept does work though, I've done it.

Nah, I say that's part of the superpower. After using it a bunch, the weilder will have little or no more cognitive dissonance of their own. Every time they use it will further purify their own thought process. That's like a superpower where every time you use it it replaces a little bit of your body fat with muscle. After you use it a bunch, you end up ripped.

I think I may not be presenting my position well, and thus am coming off as a right wing partisan hack of the sort that wants to defund the EPA. That's not my position.

A lot of people (mostly conservatives and big businesses) that complain about 'red tape' as a way of attacking various regulations. For example, people will say it's impossible to build a power plant because of environmental red tape.
A lot of that regulation is positive though. For example, even if the land is cheap, you can't build a power plant next to a nature preserve because the pollution will kill all the birds. And I like that regulation. The power people will of course complain as will the mines that were going to sell the plant coal. In cases like this, IMHO, they can all fuck off.

At the same time though, the 'red tape' that many businesses complain about does sometimes actually exist. That is, to do business you have to get endless streams of licenses, approvals, permits, etc for things where the bureaucracy and licensing process adds little or no value to either the industry or the population at large.
From what I've read, this sort of thing exists a lot in Germany. I've talked to a few people who were starting a business in Europe and they specifically avoided a few countries for that reason.

First- understand that everyone goes through this, everybody has an answer for you, but the answer that worked for them may not work for you. There's no right or wrong answer. A lot of people say 'the way to get over someone is to get under someone' personally I've never subscribed to that sort of thinking. It leads to unhealthy rebound relationships IMHO.

The only thing that will really fix this is time. So there is no magic bullet. There are things you can do to help though or pass the time faster. The biggest one is find ways to not ruminate. Focus your attention on other things, ideally useful things. Take some time to improve yourself in fun ways. Hit the gym is an obvious one, but I generally recommend take up a hobby or learn an instrument or take a class. Basically learn some fun new skill and focus your attention on that. It serves as a distraction from your grief, but also a source of engagement and a little happiness.
It WILL get better.

I think you might have a setting wrong. When I join a community on another server I see all of the posts including past ones.

Lemmy is different than Reddit, and that's a good thing. I don't need to replicate Reddit. My problem is just the muscle memory habit of opening a tab and typing in o l d . And hitting enter when it autocompletes

Hell yes. Desktop web interface is solid. Jerboa on Android is solid. Now I'm just working on breaking the habit of typing old.reddit.com while waiting for things during the day...
