Your ability to go to sleep depends on everything you did earlier in the day. If you do more work, more physical activity, and more things you have been putting off, you will have an easier time sleeping. Avoiding caffeine may also help, as does waking up at a consistent time. I found it helps to play a podcast I don’t care about at a lowish volume as it gives me something to do on my phone that’s compatible with falling asleep. You also need to go to bed early enough, but if you structure your day to tire yourself out, it is a lot more straightforward to do this.

Barabbas Q. Garendzior

I’m glad there were no deaths.

Crop yields going down because of climate change will keep those prices high

The cops literally ran over some of those protestors with cars under Biden but sure, whatever you say

What an oddly vague post.

Yeah, barbarism is looking increasingly likely. Even if Biden wins he won’t do much to stop it, as he has made clear in his current term.

I got like 300 chapters into a web novel and then had a lot of stuff to do and stopped reading it for a year

come out, ye black and trans

• the cis

I want to dispel a myth here. There is generally no advantage for trans women in almost all sports. If you know trans women you know that almost all of us are not athletic at all. And those of us that are have a significantly lower VO2 max than cis women athletes. When trans women are allowed to compete as women we do not see an unusually high win rate and we usually lose. Trans women were mostly allowed to compete in the Olympics for a while and have never won a medal. The whole notion that trans women have a biological advantage in sports is nothing but absurdity and transmisogyny and does not have any basis in reality. And even if we do win, or even do better than last place, people act as if the sky is falling. It is not the end of the world if a woman wins because she had a biological advantage in the biological advantage measuring contests.

chinese propaganda be like: we manufactured vaccines and masks to help the global periphery with the Covid pandemic when no one else would

Monica would never be a fascist.

Incredibly bleak.

Firefox is not hard to use. It must be nice to have problems this small.

In the article it says they got sloppy. CIA psyops are harder to catch because they don’t leave such blatant evidence.

It couldn’t hurt to try to get into Tsinghua. Of course it would be difficult.

They made a chemical to change the color of peaches to make them look ripe even when they’re not. And of course there’s selective breeding that makes food bigger in exchange for less flavor.

Like with programming, what you measure is what you get.

Despite the issues with the worldbuilding, it is still one of my favorites.

I think Anna mirrored them all though?

Eat well, rest well, and have confidence that your body can get stronger.
