Irrelevant is too strong a word given the opportunities in VR for training or even therapy… but you have a point.

Which parties call themselves liberal, but are actually neoliberal?

I’m started to become convinced that there is a coordinated effort to misdefine the term liberal among the political left in order to divide us.

I see supposed progressives dedicating significant amounts of time demonizing liberals (when they mean neoliberal), despite the fact that they would mostly agree on policy if that was the topic of conversation.

Enacting progressive taxation, punishing white collar crime, establishing strong environmental protections, establishing a strong social safety net, ensuring high quality universal healthcare, enforcing anti-trust legislation, and enacting electoral finance reforms are all things that liberals support… but instead they are often shouted down by progressives online for being status quo capitalists?

We’re fighting the rise of literal fascists right now, but instead of joining forces we keep arguing about labels among people we agree with.

Mmmmm… incapacitating

It’s frankly criminal that tips are a mandatory component of food service in Canada/US.

You’re expected to tip a base amount regardless of service quality – as that’s how the pay/hours are structured.(If you don’t tip then you’re effectively stealing from the worker)

The assholes who don’t tip (or under tip) get basically no punishment and are financially rewarded for their shitty behaviour.

All while some servers/bartenders get laughably overpaid. (At least from my perspective as someone who worked many 12 hour shifts as a line cook way back when).

(None of this is to say that tampering with someone’s food is ever okay)

The reporter/publisher also doesn’t get anything

Huh… FF is my main browser and I’ve never had an issue. Could it be an extension issue?

I was with you up until aliexpress.

There’s definitely junk on there, but if you look for high purchase volume plus good ratings you’ll get plenty of high quality stuff (minus the middle-man markup).

That’s not just money, but any form of power (in every system over time). Fighting it seems to be the eternal struggle.

Yeah does seem a bit dangerous.

As a Canadian who graduated quite a while ago now. Jealous!

Some possible reasons:

Nutritional factors:

• Lack of protein, fiber, or healthy fats, which help promote satiety

• Highly processed foods that are calorie-dense but nutrient-poor

• Blood sugar spikes and crashes from refined carbohydrates

• Insufficient micronutrients, though this is less likely to cause immediate hunger

Other common causes:

• Dehydration - thirst is sometimes mistaken for hunger

• Habit or routine - eating at certain times regardless of actual hunger

• Emotional eating - stress, boredom, or other emotions triggering food cravings

• Sleep deprivation - disrupts hormones that regulate hunger (ghrelin and leptin)

• Eating too quickly - not giving your brain time to register fullness (takes about 20 minutes)

• Certain medications or medical conditions

Food composition matters: Foods high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats tend to keep you satisfied longer, while foods high in refined sugars and simple carbs can leave you feeling hungry soon after eating, even if you consumed plenty of calories.

If this is happening regularly, it might be worth tracking what you eat and how you feel afterward to identify patterns, or consulting with a healthcare provider if you’re concerned about underlying issues.

Can you harmonize with yourself?

Yeah that’s not what it is.

spoiler tag didnt work for me on the Voyager App for Lemmy.

Avoiding alcohol, sleeping on your side, and losing weight (if overweight)… can all make a big difference and none require spending money. (Source: my snoring used to bother my wife).

Okay, then at the very least when you walk in you should declare your intention to not tip. Still shitty towards the server that gets stuck with you, but now it causes conflict amongst the staff and brings the issue to a head.
