This is absolutely true and sad, though I get a lot of free electronics to dismantle by rummaging through trash. People have no appreciation of the value of “used” items that either work perfectly fine or have a minor issue that prevents them from working but is easily fixable, e.g. a broken cable (I have many working devices that were thrown away because the cable is severed, which I could easily fix). I think only proper education in this regard will improve things long term.

That is true, but a “debilitating mental disorder” means completely different things to every person. So, you should go to therapy if you feel you need it, which means that trying to decide for someone makes no sense at all.
You can distill the water using solar energy, even without converting it to electricity beforehand, which insanely increases the efficiency. Also, it just requires some initial materials, and then the process basically runs itself. It absolutely could be done at a large scale, especially in places where there is much sun and much saltwater (equatorial coastlines), but the process is veeery slow and there is not enough demand for freshwater (yet) to warrant the construction of gigantic solar stills. As a bonus, global warming increases the efficiency of the process AND the process cools the Earth down somewhat (separating the water and dissolved stuff is a thermodynamically entropy-decreasing process).
It is so prevalent that this type of bigotry actually has its own name: specieism
In fact, we, as humanity, don’t really know either
Thank you for typing that out!

Because that’s the point
In criminal cases. In civil suits someone always loses, so an average person cannot win more than 50% of cases.
Finally the mathematically correct answer! Thank you for typing this out
Literally my first thought as well!
Afaik dreams get erased because you move and your brain tries to switch to day mode (so that your dream experiences don’t confuse you when you’re awake). The easiest way to write down your dreams precisely is to try and wake up while still laying in bed, and write down your dreams when you’re not as eepy but still in bed.
Well, nothing is that simple, in fact one of the biggest problems in society is that each of us has their own biological clock, with preferred activity and sleep hours, yet we are forced to align our schedules to the same universal standard. Of course, it is absolutely vital for the way our current society functions (because we, as a society, work together, take classes together, commute together, socialise together, celebrate together, and so on), but it definitely has been hurting billions of people for the past thousands of years and we should look for a way to eliminate this system as soon as possible.
