Crazy business idea mr. bank boss, listen up. Every person becomes a landlord of the property they live in! And if there's one that nobody lives in, then we ask someone who needs a place to move in and become a landlord. Problem solved!

This is extremely reductive, but the gist is - creatine is good for brains. In part because it regulates glutamate. People with ADHD have significantly higher glutamate levels, which cause synaptic spillover - synapses triggering neighboring ones and essentially spamming the brain. Stimulants help with that by improving the metabolism of glutamate. And oral creatine supplementation just increases creatine levels to fight the high glutamate levels. Both result in ADHD brains being quieter.
This is a pretty deep rabbit hole and a heavy read. But here are some interesting papers if you wanna dive in. I'm by no means an expert in any of this. I'm just interested in understanding my own ADHD, and at one point was curious how does creatine actually help, since I feel better taking it c:
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!
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.
This is a great idea! Especially if your cat mainly lives indoors. Then your place becomes the entire world, the entire source of experiences for the animal. So whenever you're not around, or can't spend time socializing together, there's nothing to generate new stimuli. And if there was a friend, then they could always provide something new for each other and live much more fulfilling lives together.
It's also your responsibility to make sure that the relationship is healthy. Cats can be very jealous of the time and attention you spend on a new one, not used to interacting with other cats/animals/people, or just afraid of change in general. So I would recommend starting by fostering a cat of a similar age for a while. Then you could either keep the foster if they vibe together, or broaden your cat's horizons and probably have better luck with the next one.
There's nothing silly in caring about the well-being of someone you're responsible for.
Here's something that helped me once (and continuously since). I was trying to get diagnosed in order to get a prescription, but the wait time for a free assessment was multiple years. After trying every avenue, I genuinely gave up on that, but I knew that there are recreational drugs that work similarly for me. So I just vented to my doctor and said exactly that - I know that you're not willing to prescribe the meds without the official diagnosis and that's okay, I understand. So I'll just have to buy another drug that helps off the street. And he was like "okay, I'm even more uncomfortable with you doing that. Fine then, let's start you on the prescription meds". It's crazy that it took this to get any help, and it still limits me in fully exploring the optimal combinations without the diagnosis, but I'm still super thankful to my doc for that. At least I won't od on a random batch with some extra fentanyl mixed in.
Are you in this for the recognition and applause? For feeling smarter than and superior to others? You're here of all places, so no you're not. Materialism wouldn't be a revolutionary philosophy if it fell in line with what people readily agree with. Your friend sided with you on this and that is good. Keep being educated and correct, and he'll agree with you some more. When you agree on enough, you'll be able to teach him how to be just as correct. Then we'll have another comrade, and you'll have a better friend.
The education is a thankless job, a fight against established thought. Our props will be the society where you no longer have to be an educator. And you're getting us closer to that, one opinion at a time. So keep your head up.
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
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.
