That’s funny, I could write pretty much this exact post myself. And since getting out of my head and following my own advice feels impossible, here it is for you. Look up the address of the employment services office that’s closest to you, don’t bother researching beyond this point. Wake up tomorrow, do some pushups until you’re bored, take a shower, eat a snack and go to that office. Either get a meeting then and there, or get one scheduled and repeat the steps on the day of. Tell them what you hate about working, and that you struggle getting your foot in the door, so you’ll need some help with finding openings. You got it from there c:

Also buy a jar of creatine, it’s great for brains and ADHD brains especially (I can find the research I went through if you’re curious). 20g a day for a week, then 5g a day. And energy drinks are great if they don’t make you feel bad, you can buy powdered ones for cheap. Mix it with the creatine after breakfast, makes for a decent brain day. Good luck!

Hell yeah. The second season takes place in Italy, similar concept that should hit even closer to home c:

I think you’d really like the show “White Lotus”.

A friendly reminder that 15 richest people hold $2.5T (as of late December), the same amount as bottom 40% of the global population.

What an interesting gripe. Personally I’d say it’s dst itself that is pointless and confusing, causing strokes and car crashes. Rather than the device that automatically handles it not notifying you to change the oven clock.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a couple years to focus on yourself

You said it. If you’re not okay, your output is not gonna be the best either, be it political, creative, or otherwise. Self-actualization is important, so if activism doesn’t cover it alone, it only makes sense to balance it out with other pursuits. And after all, revolutionary movies also need screenwriters.

Least racist Alberta cops be like:

I gave a number of real life use cases where it would solve real problems. There are so many more, especially “boring” ones like official documents, research, and medical records that would benefit from it tremendously. Blockchain does not equal crypto, but they complement each other really well.

Proof of stake could make the thing not too environmentally damaging but it’s been years that major blockchains are saying they will implement it the next year

What do you mean, Ethereum is pos.

I AM NOT SHILLING CRYPTO IN ANY WAY OKAY THANK YOU

With that out of the way, those are not intrinsic qualities of either. The fundamentals on which every shitcoin and the bored ape garbage were sold to the public are still very strong. This is like saying “online shopping is horrible” in 2004 - technically not incorrect, but very shortsighted. While the proof of work protocol (mining for it to function and who mines more is the truth) is unsustainable, proof of stake (who holds more is the truth) and mixed ones are fundamentally amazing. Imagine stablecoins pegged to indexes of international currencies. BRICS coin, for example. With smart contracts (rules built into the transaction itself) and being practically legitimate international currencies it opens up so many possibilities. Transparency and easy comparisons in payments - salaries, rents, goods and services. Immutability - you can’t just whack a person and steal the deed to their house. The “chain” part of blockchain - clear history of ownership of assets, no more “I accidentally bought a stolen car/house”. And eventually the contracts can be made complex enough to cover most interpersonal transactions.

And the same thing for nfts. Especially now, in the rapidly exploding era of unethical AI art, music, etc. Artists could easily sell/lease rights for their work, including for it to be a basis for generative models. It’s not limited to digital products - whatever you want to to confirm ownership of can be tagged with one-way encrypted signatures baked into nfts.

So both are great technologies that can still be improved on a lot. But it’s just that the ways in which they’re used today are almost exclusively rugpull bubble dogshit.

I mean, his whole thing is being a calisthenics guy.

Your strength progression is limited by your stamina. You should try harder variations of the exercise. And for that, let me introduce you to Chris Heria.
