Paying ridiculous amounts like 1/4 maybe 1/2 a mil for a medallion, right? Insane.

It doesn’t function now unless a party has filibuster proof senate except for a few things. And it’s impossible for democrats to ever get that due to how stupid senate distribution is.

Why once a week? Just need that day to look forward to? Once I quit after a decade + of drinking a precise but heavy amount nightly, I just put it behind me besides a random drink if I’m at dinner celebrating very rarely.

I think if I kept anything around, I’d go back to my old ways.

They’ve got what looks like a real bummer of a post about 2 years of self publishing so yeah, they’re clearly going through… something.

You seem to think this is an incredible gotcha. But yes, I do, cause I subscribe to Clarkesworld. It also doesn’t matter at all cause it’s not like Dracula or the Bible would see the light of day.

It goes through a lot in a short time. The whole founding, the reveal, first crisis… all happen fairly quickly and are very interesting to me at least.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”

People who want things to go back to pre-COVID times seem kind of like a cult. If you challenge the ludicrous things, you get frowned at and labeled not a team player.

Why would corporate real estate collapsing be like 08? That was home mortgages, it actually affected many, many people. No one lives in the offices.

Yep, it’s been blatantly obvious that it is a push by governments (federal, state, municipality) and business groups, plus wealthy owners of things, to keep things as they were. The benefit to the employees is not there in any job that successfully navigated full remote.

There are plenty of people who want to go in, and they’re totally welcome to it. I personally have lost all faith in my corporation given their thinking on the issue. I hesitated which word to use because thinking and logic aren’t actually part of the equation as no meeting rooms work correctly and technology at our offices is crap.

I basically go in for half a day, nope out and go work at home. They can eventually come at me if they want.

I got sick for at most a day in Nov 21 and this all hit my suddenly end of Jan 22. They can’t even be sure I had COVID but given how I had sudden LC symptoms that’s what my doctor said was very likely. Always wondered why it came months after like a 1 day mild fever.

Cool, thank you!

Plus we’re stuck inside and the days are short.

Vitamin D is one of two common supplements that has really helped me. The other is magnesium (anything but oxide, body won’t absorb it, I take glycinate.)

Had my doc recommend two others that seem to be helping as well, but I’m still journaling how I feel when I do and don’t take them.

Not wanting to die can be a job itself these days for some reason.

Was it 10k or 20k ui? I know they got some mega doses out there. You can get too much eventually.

I take 5k right now in winter and prob 2k when I can go outside, and it’s not Hoth.

Yeah, getting us $5 at a time for a 3 month supply at any store. Curses!

I keep trying to get mushrooms to not give me a bunch of nausea. I’ve tried grinding and then putting them to soak in lemon juice. Maybe I need to try a tea.

I’m not trying to get incredibly high, I just want to want to live since long COVID has kicked my ass.

Lots of shows have that character. Thinking of the CFO in succession off the top of my head.

Thinking? Please report to HR!

Hmmm, that sounds like a low rank thought. Please report to HR.

I think you should take a hard look at it again and keep a stiff upper lip. Erection.

That’s not the ocean behind them.

It is according to what I looked up right before asking. Which explains why it helps with anxiety and sleep somewhat.

Are first generation better for anxiety? I was prescribed hydroxyzine 25mg for anxiety as needed and I take it sometimes to help me sleep.
