Good advice I can use! I’ll switch to a multivitamin that includes iron and see if that helps.

Caveat: I’m a Stoic, and I think about this in Stoic terms. I’m aware that this may bias my interpretation, and you should be, too.

You can accept the past without surrending agency in the present or hope for the future. You must accept that your boss has treated you badly, stolen your wages, condescended to you, &c. You don’t have to maintain that pattern, though. You can get a new job. If that’s not an option, you can plan around it, eg. by documenting the wage theft and abuse and sending it up the chain. If that’s not an option either, or doesn’t work, you are free to just not give a shit. You don’t have to engage with it emotionally at all, you can just think about something else while it’s happening and then go about your day. They can step on your neck but they can’t make you accept it. Only you make that choice.

More and more unlikely and incomprehensible things will keep happening unless the timeline is corrected. I’m not saying we need to rewrite history… but I’m not saying it’s not worth a try, either.

I’m more of a “jigs and reels” guy.

Probably Black Mirror then.

Trolling and doxxing are a big part of it. A lot of people (not me, obviously) don’t want to share anything real online if it’s going to be used against them.

8, or thereabouts. I want to understand why they think the way they do, but I’m not willing to give platform to hate or harmful ideologies, especially ones I already understand well. You gotta meet people where they’re at, but at the same time, if you step into the pigpen the stink stays on you.

I prefer to brush my teeth outside on the porch when possible.

I got a beesting right on my penis once, and the only thing that helped was a compress of baking-soda based toothpaste. It does, indeed, feel weird and uncomfortable, but it beats the hell out of an itchy, painful beesting.

It’s a better height than the toilet.

I met my wife at a festival.

If this is your first one, it’s a lot easier to build a desktop computer than laptop computer.

I really must stress though that they both are computers and subject to the same concerns about parts and AI.
