It’s funny how the narrative changes when a group can actually fight back. Most of the Gen-Xers I know in tech aren’t going back to the office, not because they are ultrawealthy but because they are getting old, are virtually irreplaceable, and are prioritizing life over work after having survived the pandemic....
Someone recently told me that they sometimes feel gaslighted around me because I effortlessly make them question their beliefs and feelings. Hearing that didn’t sit well with me, especially since I’ve been pondering the question in the title for quite some time....
I would suggest that you find a therapist who is experienced with psychopathy and see them. Although a lot of people who are psychopaths do terrible things, not everyone does and empathetic SEEMING behaviors can be learned and be beneficial. It seems like this is bothering you and getting a diagnosis and learning how to read other people’s emotions and respond appropriately might help. Even if you aren’t actually feeling it, you could put them at ease and fit in better. Radical truth is great and all but little white lies get told for a reason and that’s something it might help you to learn.

Wendy’s is garbage in terms of health and nutrition but there are a lot of people who probably have much easier access to a Wendy’s than a grocery store. That’s the reality of life in America for a lot of low income people and it’s fairly well divided along race lines as well. We can sit here from our white suburban couches and judge because there are 4 grocery stores within a 10 minute drive but that simply isn’t how it works in some areas.
Wendy’s has spoken to its manager after suggestions that it plans to introduce “surge pricing” to its menu received a decidedly frosty response this week, with the company scrambling to clarify that it has no intention of making itself the Uber of fast-food chains.
Not only that but Idaho has some draconian abortion positions so I’m sure that at this point a lot of medical professionals have left the state. But yeah you’re right this does sort of go against the “do no harm” thingy doctors are always prattling on about.

Holy shit I had a mild case of COVID with headaches as my only symptom. I then had long COVID and couldn’t think straight, forgot words all the time, had trouble finishing sentences. It’s terrifying to think this is why that was happening but it tracks because every time my feet got cold during that same time period one of my toes swelled up. Probably the same thing happening in my foot and my brain.
Anecdotally speaking I had covid a few months before vaccination became available (yay) and had horrible brain fog. I forgot a lot of words and really struggled with finishing sentences, things like that. It did improve but it took about a year. At the same time one of my toes kept swelling up every time my feet got cold and that stopped around the same time my ability to think improved.

Guaranteed all that data is still being sold and resold over and over again. Who even knows how many people have everyone’s info at this point and they didn’t even get a slap on the wrist, nor has anything been done to unlink our financial security from our SSN. It’s disgusting.
I had someone open a Verizon account with my info and I only found out when it showed up on my credit report as a collections account. Every single person there tried to tell me the account didn’t exist and there was nothing they could do. I even had one fuckin rep try to get me up open a new account so they could use it to look up the other account, because apparently sounded like a complete moron. I ended up reporting it to the secretary of state and wouldn’t you know Verizon found the account for them on the first try.
I have a large library of steam games, but yet always come back to Garry mod and ravensfield. I keep coming back for the modded content and every other game is excellent, don’t get me wrong. But a lot of big games like RD2 and watchdogs 2 just seem like such a long time investment. What 2 games do you infinitely come back to?
Just woke up. I thought this was a picture of valheim with a deathsquito on the background. Which is interesting because I was probably going to have to pick Valheim and Sims 4. If I can only playb2 games forever I need sometimes that doesn’t necessarily have a main quest then it’s done and both of those fit that.

I’m not going to say you’re wrong about aspartame being safe because I don’t know for sufe, but I question whether you’re right. The fact that Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO of the company that held the patent, couldn’t get it approved then magically got it approved after his buddy Ronald Reagan appointed him to a position where he could do so makes me wonder if it ever should have been approved.
We’re only at risk for people stopping food consumption if prices don’t fuckin fix themselves, and I’m serious about that. People are gonna eat if they can eat.
