iirc they put workplace democracy on their platform a few years back. regardless, i’m disillusioned with electoral politics so i’m just going to vote for claudia de la cruz. i’d rather vote for the person who aligns with my politics mote than bother trying to vote “strategically,” especially when neither of them have a realistic path to victory.

mashallah

“they asked me how well i understood theoretical physics. i said i had a theoretical degree in physics. they said welcome aboard.”

It’s an omen!

you're going to want to find a psychiatrist that accepts your insurance, or at the minimum has a sliding scale payment system in place. once you're prescribed a stimulant for adhd, you have to go back every month to get a new prescription filled.

the process of getting on the medication was surprisingly easy. you'll have to tell them you suspect you have adhd, and they'll go ahead and ask why you think so and they'll give you an evaluation that kinda feels like one of those "do i have adhd" quizzes. if all goes well, you'll get a prescription (usually adderall) immediately after diagnosis. the medicine itself doesn't have any side effects that you need to take time off work or school for. in fact, it helped my immediately and improved my performance in both settings. just be aware that due to the nature of the drug, your appetite will drop significantly and you'll have to make sure you're eating enough. my solution was to download a calorie logging app and inputting everything i eat.

from everything i've heard—and correct me if i'm wrong—but it seems like china is performing some shady counter-terrorist action in xinjiang, nothing unlike what the west has done for the past few decades. i don't think that it's necessarily a good thing but it doesn't seem out of the norm for any state, socialist or not, to do this. it's hypocritical for the west to critique it when we do the exact same thing, and any accusations of genocide are completely detached from the reality of the situation.

that's the free market at work baby!!!

any dish that makes huge batches and stores well is a good depression meal for me. vegan chili is really good and all you have to do is chop up some veggies and dump that in a crockpot (i usually add celery, bell pepper, and shredded zucchini and cook some garlic and yellow onion!) with three cans of beans (i usually use black, red kidney, and garbanzo beans), a couple cans of crushed tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, and seasonings. leave it on low for eight hours and serve it with some rice!

there are some good cajun recipes that are a bit more involved, but they make huge portions and don't really cost too much. serious eats has some great recipes on this front. here's one for gumbo, and another one for jambalaya.

in my personal experience, stumbling around for hours not knowing how anything works and gradually learning over the course of playing is the way to go.

caffeine, nicotine, and amphetamines.

i’ve heard multiple game devs say they’d rather you just pirate then buy from g2a or whatever website sells cheap steam keys. most of the time these sites get their keys with stolen credit cards. it’s not worth screwing some (very likely poor) person over for.

yeah, i can't even count how often i've had a conversation just to forget what was said only a minute afterwards. the good news is medication helps a lot.

hot take but i actually somewhat agree with this. when talking with other leftists, use whatever is most accurate. but when talking to people who aren't really well versed in leftist theory, terms like bourgeoisie and proletariat seem kinda outdated and needlessly complex. i personally go for terms like business owners and working class.

but uhh, means of production can stay, idk what they were thinking there.
