Don’t Be Evil ☝️

I’ve heard Count Binface is saying there was confusion at the polls. Voters could not tell the candidates apart as both are filled with garbage.

I thought there was a screw under the rubber at one point for the middle part and went at it with a screwdriver.

Rest is just wear.

Middle click was gone for years, yeah.

I don’t like scroll-wheel clicking luckily. Has never felt natural. Just set middle click to one of the thumb buttons and never thought about it again tbh. 😅

I think more than directly chemical, a lot of my depression and anxiety symptoms were due to not knowing what to do about constantly feeling a little physiologically bad at all times.

My ADHD gives me this like, in the same way sadness can hurt physically, physical sense of not being stimulated enough. But I don’t really find like stimming helps it so I used to just kinda feel, as I would describe it, that every passing second was like a grinding stone(from like a mill) was turning right between my eyes and on my center forehead. Not painful as that would be, but just a negative and constant awareness of time passing.

So between RSD, emotional dysregulation and whatever that sympyom would be called, I think I was basically just using anxiety/sadness as a more pleasant place to be than that and an explanation for why I felt bad and eventually it became habit/engrained.

Between cognitive behavioral therapy and then the meds, I think I just stabilized enough to realize I was kinda helping rather than fighting the depression/anxiety.

I still have depressed periods of a few days to a few weeks, but they’re mild and I notice as I am going through them and when I am out.

And I still catch myself thinking anxious thoughts or worrying about how I am perceived or misunderstandings, but it’s possible, even easy often, for me to simply realize I’m having more anxiety that day, and write it all off/stop focusing on it.

I was started on 30mg Vyvanse because I basically went to my doctor and said: “I need meds so I can work again like now or I’m gonna be homeless my guy” and it’s been wonderful for me. I take a 10mg booster mid-day also.

It lets me do the house tasks and work 25 hours a week without falling apart. It reduced my anxiety and depression sympyoms to the point I don’t feel held back by them. It used to help make it easier to think and make my hobbies enjoyable again as well but now less so.

I asked to go to 40mg in the morning so we’ll see how that goes. Hoping it improves my enjoyment of things I wanna do.

As far as side effects it’s just a bit hard to empty my bladder at times.

So far as I know, gig work is not counted in the data, meaning driving for delivery apps, etc. So they probably dropped from the tracked economy into the gig economy.

I was wrong, see below comment

Some may also have pursued further education in some form.

Seperately, considering the adjustment downward for literally every months data following it’s release, you can probably assume even the slight gain in employment this month will be adjusted down to a loss overall in a month or two.

Lithium ion batteries cannot super accurately report their own charge so the percentage isn’t necessarily digit accurate.

I am also usually just making sure it’ll get me to a place I can charge it when I actually need to worry about charge. That doesn’t usually require like the difference between say 33% and 26% for me.

I just need to be able to see if I’ve got like a fifth of battery left or less / more.

Admitedly also with the ADHD if there’s a percentage I fixate on it for no reason so it’s less annoying for me to have it off.

Same with the battery level in my e-bike. 👀 I know it’ll get me to work and back as it always does but not constantly fixating on the remaining battery is impossible.

“Aw shucks, sometimes you just don’t win guys. But boy oh boy they really gave him a hard time before nothing came of it huh? They really totally tried so hard guys. I will remember them fondly and vote for them going forward!!”

Another meanless “written commitment” extracted from people proven to lie. Maybe worse than the other useless habit of writing strongly worded letters in the “No we totally tried guys” category.

Laundry is the other sysiphisian task. Even if you completely catch up on laundry, when you look down, boom you’re wearing MORE laundry.

Pepperidge Farms about to start needing regular colonoscopies. 👀

I am copying your homework, I will try this.

Surely this will fix me. ☝️

The bipartisan package allows the president to impose tariffs on the world’s top five purchasers of Russian oil or natural gas, including China and India. It provides exceptions for countries that import less than 15% of their natural gas from Russia and are taking steps to reduce those imports.

Allows but does not require.

The legislation also includes sanctions on Putin, senior Russian political and military leaders, Russian financial institutions and Russian energy projects. It would expand U.S. sanctions to target older, reflagged oil tankers that Russia uses to circumvent existing U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and energy revenues. The bill also allows the White House to waive sanctions or restrictions if the president certifies to Congress that it’s in the national interest.

And also allows him to undo any of the stuff he doesn’t get a say over directly.

Very cool!

I have no doubt he will use it as an excuse to further fracture our global power and image in attempts to extort easy wins, personal wealth, or both.

But I do approve of increased support for Ukraine and am thankful there has been progress, atleast in messaging, from the right toward Ukraine.

Also

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., who had held up passage of the package over the tariff authority, said he received a written commitment from the Trump administration through U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer that ensures guardrails. The tariffs would be lifted once the countries are no longer on the lists of those purchasing Russian oil and gas, or helping to evade sanctions, he said.

Guys it’s fine.

I said IT’S FINE. HE GOT A WRITTEN COMMITMENT.

Begging you to explain what you mean by “same moderation period we’re seeing with Mormons”.

(I realize that statement generally expresses criticism but in this case I am just very genuinely curious to hear your thoughts)

Aware of the early days of the religion trying to basically declare their sovereignty as a nation but not sure that’s what you’re talking about in context.

I knew they worshipped the same God, but finding out that Islam also affirms the vast majority of the life of Jesus and his place with-in the larger theological framework just makes me infinitely more upset there is nothing small enough humans won’t literally kill each other over it.

He clearly has not accepted that in-group/out-group dynamics always leave potential for you to become part of the out-group, or to have only assumed you’d be in the in-group in the first place. Just thinks Trump messed up by taking HIS partner instead of someone else’s.

“go after criminals” he continues to say, failing to realize that especially in the most heavily incarcerated country on the planet, criminals are actually also largely moms and pops and kids with families that are torn apart by agents of state violence over incredibly minor or intentionally targeted laws.

My experience with so many people is that even when solidly proven to have held a belief they no longer find suits them, they do not look for a systematic fault in their mental processing models or a larger misunderstanding in their base assumptions of reality to find how it was they were led into false belief. They simply assume it was either a fluke, or that reality does indeed conform to their ideas and just made a mistake this time.

Your Honor, there’s no evidence from the provided panels that my client did not in fact open the bag and have a single chip then put the bag away before feeling content in his accomplishments.

Was honestly very confused how this could have performed quite so terribly until I read there was also a section that would’ve taken away the people’s right to approval of sales tax hikes and that makes a lot more sense.

Honestly, I voted for El-Sayid and I barely remembered they were yesterday.

Knew when it was and was keeping track, telling people to go vote. Woke up on the day and only remembered when I saw an article about the pivotal election in Michigan that day and ran down to my polling place before work.
