A couple of strategies depending on the problem you’re dealing with:

• if you don’t have time, make simple meals that minimize prep. There are cookbooks dedicated to this concept and highly recommend picking one up. “30 minutes or less” meals were a god send for me in college.
• if you don’t like the food you’re eating, explore new types of food. This is often a more expensive endeavor as it may require you to buy new spices, cookware, etc. again, cookbooks are a great help here. Most Americans eat a combination of Italian and Mexican food. Try making your own Chinese or Indian food.
• if you are lazy, consider a food prep day. I do food prep on Sundays and makes cooking through the week much faster and easier. Also helps to cook large batches that can refrigerate and reheat in the microwave or toaster oven. Make dishes that taste better with age. Chili, marinated dishes, etc. fall into this category.
• if you’re too lazy for that, then eat out and don’t cook. If you value not wasting food over your money, then this is the best choice overall. It’s the most expensive option but if you’d rather not cook and have the resources to just eat out, then do so.

Lack of motivation (assuming you’re not neurodivergent) often is a result of not having a plan or you find the activity tedious. If it’s the latter, I’d go the simple route and try to keep your cooking as easy as possible. This is essentially true if you’re new to cooking.

If it’s the former, consider meal planning. I plan my meals a week in advance, taking into account left overs I already have, left overs I’m planning on making, food I need to buy, and other factors.

If you’re neurodivergent, I’m hesitant to provide advice as I am not a doctor but I suggest talking to your therapist about it and seeing if they can help you.

If you’re in medical school, you would have been there at least in the beginning of Biden’s term. Texas was still a shit hole then.

What made you go to medical school in fucking Texas?

The number of people I know who have voluntarily moved there with absolutely no reason have been shocking. I have a co-worker who moved from NYC to Dallas for no reason outside of “I wanted to move somewhere different.”

Not a job relocation. No family there. Just straight up “I’m moving”.

Ironic.

I highly encourage you to go. They are counting on people being afraid.

Everyone who attends these protests risk something. For some it’s their jobs. Others it could be their lives.

They are out there for you, for me, and countless others.

Joining them shows solidarity. But it also helps you feel less alone.

Practice good OpSec. If you don’t go, then find other ways to resist.

Jesus fuck they are still doing emails huh? Despite the fact that email remains the most easiest to forge electronic messages?

Has anyone done any technical research into these emails? Like do they at least carry an SPF, DMARC, or DKIM headers? Ideally there would be a link that you can click that goes to a website where you can confirm that the email was intended for you?

Two years in most states. Every year in some states.

If you’re only voting in the presidential election, then you are effectively giving Republicans your vote during midterms.

Does come with undercoating included though. That’s what makes it worth it.

There was a Sbarro’s when I worked there.

Is it gone now?

Seriously. We really can’t afford to lose more bees.

Unless the ones that aren’t willing to stand up to those who are, then they are just as culpable.

There is a linear line from incel to alt-right neo-nazis. The ironic thing is that it happened before the rise of Nazi Germany and it’s happened again here in the US.

This is, unironically, what conservatives think.

I was just about to say. Sounds like we have nothing to lose.

Similar story for me. I quit though because management was getting so toxic we couldn’t get anything done.

Learned through the grapevine that the company went bankrupt within a year.

I want to believe it’s possible for a viable browser to be built purely out of altruism. Such an endeavor would require, ironically, a steady stream of income to ensure that the developers are well compensated and are not burdened by, you know, hunger and lack of shelter.

Firefox has had a good run but it’s clear that they are chasing cash at the cost of alienating their most dedicated users. The sad thing is that I suspect they’ve done the math and predict they will gain more users than lose them.

The harsh reality is that browsers are expensive to build. They are the literal portals to our digital lives and it’s becoming harder to isolate and anonymize our online lives.

Hell, I’d love to see a Linux distro take this on. Can you imagine if a heavyweight like CentOS or Linux Mint took on the project to build a browser from the ground up?

Fascism is a means to an end. The end result of fascism is cronyism, where power is delegated based on fealty.

Each level of fascism is a concentric circle, with a new out group named at every iteration.

Right now, it’s LGBT, specifically trans people in addition to immigrants. Once all of the outgroup is gone, a new one is named.

Adding to this, each word and words around it are given a statistical percentage. In other words, what are the odds that word 1 and word 2 follow each other? You scale that out for each word in a sentence and you can see that LLMs are just huge math equations that put words together based on their statistical probability.

This is key because, I can’t emphasize this enough, AI does not think. We (humans) anamorphize them, giving them human characteristics when they are little more than number crunchers.

The problem with body cameras or camcorders is that they can be confiscated.

You have to decide before going to the protests if it’s more important for you to participate or more important to document. Each has its pros and cons and you might have the chance to do both, but you will need to prioritize one over the other when push literally comes to shove.

Decide your priorities and then adjust your OpSec accordingly.

¿Por que los dos?
