I'd definitely at least suggest chugging water and getting crunchy water like apples and cucumbers in you. Also if you drink caffeine less than two hours after you wake up, your body hasn't flushed out the sleep receptors from last night yet and you've gotten them shored up to hit you again later in the afternoon. Caffeine literally has zero energy in it. Speaking as someone who still drinks it but is trying to be VERY careful with the timing (never later than 6hrs before bed time, that's the half life of Caffeine), it doesn't give you energy. It just shuts off sleepiness temporarily, but if you were already sleepy when you drank it you're gonna be sleepy again later. Maybe supplement with those Caffeine-free energy drinks like the gamersupps options for the placebo effect?

(As for the beer, is a little weed an option in your area or is that just trading bad for bad? I had a can of thc plus the other thing drink once and holy damn that was the best sleep I EVER had. Finally shut the brain up.)

It's also an option with some of the Canadian companies so I have to make sure the two year term is to-own whenever I get a new phone.

fun bonus points for "Anatomy of Trudeau's fall" on top-left lol

Yeah she was working on AI auto-transcription for audio thinking 'this will help people sort audio! Yay' and found out it's 'it'll help them sort audio of Palestinian phone calls so we can forward locations to the Israelis for bombings! No!' Like how dynamite was supposed to be for construction and then it got turned into bombs.

How would you even screen tech work to make sure you're not contributing to genocides by applying? Only apply to companies that explicitly say 'Free Palestine' on their profiles? Do they even exist in the USA? Not to mention she familiarized herself with the policy supporting human rights concerns before sending that message. The one that in a sane world would have prevented any of this from even happening (Microsoft's involvement anyway).

I mean that's what hormone blockers are for, anyway, though since a lot of places put medical rights at 14 you could start there. Precocious puberty is overrated.

I'm pretty sure the body IS property of the person who has it, at least once they're old enough to make medical decisions. That's why you can donate it to science in your living will. In the 'relatives should be able to do what they want with it' case, cutting it up would damage its integrity, and if the will doesn't specify who owns what then it could be a dispute that requires arbitration, much like when people have to agree to sell a house together in an estate, and then you'd need to i guess freeze it or something while they legally hash that out. Of course religious-born laws on mutilation of bodies means that you can't actually put that in your will, even tho if you go the science option the government will totally do that. It's hypocritical, I agree.

being unsure or uncaring is supposed to be agnosticism, though. atheism is an outright rejection of the possibility. (this is NOT a commentary on if one is more correct than the other.)

added collecting cans for deposit to my walks. Gives me stuff to look at instead of playing with my phone, some interesting challenges with the leftover snow and muddy slopes, and sometimes I'll pick up more trash to throw out too :) been thinking of ordering a foldable grabber tool for getting the stuff stuck in bushes lol

On the one hand, DNS was being needlessly accusatory and the logic of 'you don't understand how predators work so you must be one' is silly. On the other hand, I get why they're being so caustic because YES CP is ABSOLUTELY used exactly how they describe. The idea is that by getting the child used to sexual activity, they'll get used to thinking about sexual activity and won't be as freaked by inappropriate propositions, perhaps even believing they're the initiator instead of being manipulated and taken advantage of, and then they won't report the predator to authorities. Not to mention some of the predators who actually feel child attraction (as opposed to the more than 50% who are just rapists of opportunity) use that manufactured consent to self-delude themselves into thinking 'well they're enjoying it and they said yes so I'm not REALLY doing anything wrong'.

Part 4 on this article interviewing someone who was trying to research pedos on the dark web, for one example: "In other words, there are child molestation crusaders out there, and Pam ran into a lot of this on the Deep Web. Below is one response to a 7axxn post from a guy, bemoaning his inability to be anything but a "leech" (a person who consumes the content but never submits any) because his family situation made it impossible to actively share child pornography. The other members suggested he could aid "the cause" by helping to "enlighten & educate" the children in his life on the "true philosophies of love"" https://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-1760-5-things-i-learned-infiltrating-deep-web-child-molesters.html

tbf if the hens aren't producing for commercial purposes, they could be vaccinated, like they're thinking of doing in america.

Shout-out to Gamers Nexus for making a written site for all their content https://gamersnexus.net/ tho i recognize that's not very helpful for avoiding American lol

Yeah they pulled out of QC so if I wasn't so close to Ontario they'd be completely useless for me in canada too. Not that I haven't avoided them for big purchases like computer stuff already, gonna have to look what general marketplaces we have otherwise lol
