I would suggest volunteering at animal shelters on your days off might help with the fairly lonely life. The one by me let’s you check out dogs to go to the beach with and return.
I’m not in TikTok or anything but isn’t that something China would of course do? Like they are trying to push their app to a country that loves FREEDOM. Why would they limit content based on their controls in place in their country?
The why TP is because it was big and noticeable in store. There was a chunk missing and then word got that “you need to get some before they run out” and that causes a run and the stores run out.
If you remember during the gas pipeline cyber attack. It only effected a specific area of the country SE area, but areas outside of the actual problem ran out of fuel because people heard about other stations running out and having problems. We are not good at handling stressful situations together. We turn into a “fuck you, I got mine and I might need to stockpile more for later” type of people.
Eating like this helped me kick my sugar habit and lose 90lbs. I also would add fermented foods to help diversify you gut microbiome. Kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha, and yogurt (Greek, Iceland, etc…) are all great.
Don’t forget beans and lentils too. Fry some eggs and slide it on a bowl of beans and that’s a good eating, right there.
This reminds me when I was active duty, I had an OIC that would always come up with ways to distract us from working. He wanted us to work, but also he got bored and wanted to talk about stuff. Most of the time it was an okay level of distraction, especially on deployments. It was mainly just annoying but most officers are so…
He always liked to ask everyone about dinosaurs. Like if you could be a dinosaur, what type of dinosaur would you want to be? He also convinced one of the younger guys that there are probably dinosaurs still living in caves in the Earth and we just haven’t discovered them yet. I don’t miss working for some of the “time goblin” type people in the military that don’t let you get your work done.
I always just used the knuckle trick for counting. The ones that have 31 days are at the top of the knuckle and the 30 (or 28/9) day months are in between the knuckles.
I was going to suggest that, but wanted to see if any other people would. It has helped me anecdotally, and many other people. There are studies being done at universities that prove psilocybin help with mental and behavior issues.
Obviously don’t just take my word for it. Look into it. Have a trip sitter or someone experienced that can talk you through your thoughts if you need it.
Well there is a chance we might get our collective shit together after a world wide set back in tech, medical, any other scienctific advances. If we have a massively destructive climate event, solar flare, or any other big global hit, then many years later after the survivors reconnect humanity. We MIGHT have a better mindset and work together more. I doubt it though, but I’m a pessimist.
