I use nextcloud news for rss feeds, and ground news for regular summaries and breaking news, as if I’m important enough to need to know everything right away.
Just wanted to mention that Piped has SponsorBlock and DeArrow built in. It’s also better for your privacy since you don’t connect to Google servers directly.

The decision to let anyone in is typically a move a country makes because it’s going through population decline. Think Iceland, South Africa, Sicily, Pitcairn… the last of these would be the most rewarding.
Very seldomly does a good country just let anyone in, not just because it doesn’t want to be so generous but also because it doesn’t want to be exploited by people who realize that a good country is letting anyone pass.
Elevated blood pressure is a common alcohol withdrawal symptom, but it looks like 9 days may be a long time for this symptom to last. As you’ve already seen from others, talking to a dr is probably a good idea at this point (if you have the means to do so).
Picture 18 y/o me in the 90’s with my new Marin Bear Valley SE and trick wellgo clipless pedals. No YouTube at the time, so had to figure stuff out intuitively… so I started to practice doing wheelies (while clipped in), and before you know it, I overshoot it a bit and my inexperience getting loose from the pedals had me land hard on my back.
Now doing tricks with the bike is second nature, but it did take some bruises. Just remember to cover the rear brake ;)
It has most of the nutritional value it had before it was canned but some vitamins degrade pretty rapidly.
One of the factors in food preservation and nutrition is the stability of different vitamins. Specifically, there are water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins.
Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. They are less stable and more affected by processing and include folate, thiamine, and vitamin C. Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat. They’re more stable and include water, vitamin A, D, E, and K. Fat-soluble vitamins are less effected by cooking and preserving.
Basically it depends on what the food is and how it is preserved
If I’m honest with you though there is no harm in eating canned food and no such thing as “empty calories” all of your daily nutrients are important and you should get them but not meeting you daily quota isn’t such a huge deal as long as it isn’t especially consistent. Calories are your fuel but you can think of vitamins and micro nutrients as your oil that keeps things running smoothly.
If your diet is primarily canned goods I would recommend taking a multivitamin or altering your diet to include fresh produce containing those water soluble vitamins.
I would argue that anything with more carbs, sugar, etc than fat and protein is by definition empty calories and in the case of soda and juice (yes even fruit juice) it’s even worse because of the complete lack of nutrients and what sugar does to your insulin response, hunger response, etc.
You can and people do make breads that are heavier and packed with more nutrients. I don’t remember the specifics but simply letting dough rise for longer than you usually would does add some nutrients but it’s still not outweighed by the negative effects of a carb heavy diet.
Dark Reader. This does a pretty technically-impressive-to-me job of making reasonable dark versions of pages. It’s not perfect – there are a handful of sites that it needs to be toggled off for, makes something hard to read – but I’m amazed that it does the job it does.
Blank Dark Tab: Replace the new tab with a blank page matching Firefox’s built-in dark mode
Stylus: Doesn’t do anything on its own, but permits collections of third-party themes to be applied to websites to fix annoyances.
Greasemonkey. This doesn’t do anything on its own, but it permits people to publish little modifications to be applied to webpages, permits for a lot of little scripts that fix annoyances on websites. There were a number of useful scripts that I used on Reddit.
Misc
Edit with Emacs. Permits opening the contents of a textarea in an external emacs instance. Nice for things like, say, writing a large lemmy post in Markdown. I vaguely recall that, at least some years back, there was a way to embed a version of vim in Firefox textareas, so if vim’s your cup of tea, that might be interesting, if it’s still around.
Instance Assistant for Lemmy and Kbin. A variety of quality-of-life fixes for lemmy and kbin. Lets one open a given lemmy/kbin post on their local instance if they wind up viewing a page on a remote instance.
Reddit Enhancement Suite. If you still use Reddit, this has an enormous collection of quality-of-life improvements for Reddit.
EDIT: I don’t know if this is the embedded vim that I recall, but Firenvim seems to do roughly the same thing, if not.
EDIT2: There’s also some “overlay remover” plugin that can bypass a number of obnoxious overlays that I use on my desktop, but I don’t have it installed on this machine. I think that it’s Behind the Overlay.
If you’re American, you should keep your nationality. Instead, apply for work visa and later, permanent residency at your host country. Reason being, the American citizenship makes the local government think twice about sending you to the gulag etc plus you could seek refuge at a US Embassy anywhere around the world. If you migrate to Aus or NZ, they don’t particularly care that you have two citizenships, so you can become a citizen there but secretly don’t tell the US gov. Bear in mind, you have to pay US taxes as a citizen even if abroad.
Regarding a country to move to, try Japan and become an “English Teacher”. Japanese schools regularly take in native English speakers not so much as English teachers, but more of a cultural exchange teacher. There’s a very low qualifications requirements but be aware that you will be assigned to some school in bumfuck nowhere rice fields. Go search for vids on youtube about this topic.
The US is one of a hand full of countries that require you to pay income tax on money earned abroad. If you are a US citizen that has moved to another country and received citizenship there, and you aren’t worried about having “the local government send you to the gulag”, then renouncing your US citizenship is probably the best financial decision you can make. Caveat: they make you pay up front when renouncing for all of the potential tax they would have earned from you had you stayed a citizen abroad for the rest of your life.
What the fuck. So lets say, if the country to move to has a minimum income, then you will have to pay the tax for atleast the minimum income until retirement? Am I getting this right?
Yes, but its not as aggressive as it seems: 1) the US gives a tax-free amount up to ~$100,000 earned abroad, and 2) that’s after deducting the tax you paid to the country you earned it in (as an example, say you earned $100,000 abroad and paid 30% tax, you’d only have to report $70,000, and because that 70k is below the tax-free amount (in the $100k neighborhood), you don’t owe any additional tax in the US.
HOWEVER, the tax-free break is only given if you file your taxes. If the IRS decides you need to be audited, and you didn’t file (because you live in a different country and think it’s absurd to have to file taxes to a country you didn’t earn that money in), you lose the tax free amount (which basically means you can be double taxed).
