Why is it that one loading screen/bar is so taunting... but several on various devices, simultaneously puts my mind at ease?

...or is it just me?

I don't mean the ominous, never fully complete, rotating circle shit... that's annoying with 1 instance and exponentially worse in multiples.

Seriously, those circle indicators (several varieties) genuinely make me want to... do things that shouldn't be mentioned cuz that'd solidify the case of premeditated.

I also enjoy my servers' preboot output, mass linux updates and generally any script output dialogs... it's like confirmation that everything is doing/where as it should.

    The more performant computers get, the less they are working hard.

    @jestdotty i get your logic there but, at least for the latter part, it's non-applicable to me. I'll spare the public the concrete additional context-- you're welcome to message me elsewhere if curious. One loading... especially the ones that give some valid status info, just make me think of all of the ways I could circumvent the entire *whatever* or optimise the loading for speed... then go back and forth with near instant calculations that all equate to invalid uses of time. It certainly isn't a state of submission, as i realise nearly infinite ways to control/modify it... but then it'd win.

    @jestdotty i know too much and don't have those emotions that are so helpful towards self-deception.

    I see the world in Bools and Ints.

    @jestdotty the basic, used to a sickening extent, version... taking "i dont want to" and adding false rationale until it's "i cant".
