These ain’t mama bears - mama bears prepare their cubs to survive in the real world. All I’ve seen from these women is trying to hide things from kids (history, gay people, books, whatever) - head burying- call ‘em ostrich moms or something.

Sleep stuff sucks, sorry you’re having a hard time. One thing that helps me - I bought some smart lights and programmed them to a schedule. They all go red and dim a couple hours before bedtime so I know to start winding down. The tv backlight also gets dimmed. It’s a nice little routine / cue. Supposedly minimizing blue light exposure before bedtime is good for your sleep?
You should also never underestimate evil - that’s how they win.
There have also been signs that Covid has caused / can cause organ damage throughout the body, including the pancreas and that there was a noticeable trend of folks getting diabetes after Covid. While I’m sure lifestyle and diet will do a lot of heavy lifting in taking the blame in these discussions, endocrine disrupters, environmental pollutants, and Covid are likely not insignificant contributors to the increase in diabetes.
They really tryna blame “the fappening” on Reddit though
“the responsibility for determining a student’s gender identity rests with the student’s parents/guardians.”
I hope someday we can start seeing children as people instead of property.
My primary care doctor does drug test for ADHD prescriptions. She's mentioned it's something the DEA wants to see if she prescribes controlled substances. I was only getting Vyvanse (which is supposed to be un-abusable?).
ETA: while marijuana was never specifically mentioned (I did not partake), my doctor did use those drug tests to chide me about nicotine use as I was vaping at the time.... so it seems it's not just about testing to ensure you're taking your stimulants and not selling them...
How do you cope with knowing better
BIG IME - I think sometimes you gotta accept that maybe you don't necessarily know better (it's hard, i know).
Especially with dev work (especially open source) - sometimes you’re limited by available technology, time, resources (servers, bandwidth, people, blah blah), etc. Your ideas may be good but not feasible (at the moment), for example.
That's not to say you can't put forth your idea - repeatedly even. Keep being part of the conversation and ask questions, make suggestions. You just have to work on letting go of the frustration and seek to do some understanding of your own. The more you understand & learn, the more clearly you can communicate your own ideas using language / frameworks devs or others are more familiar with and the easier it might be to get buy-in for your ideas.
I've also found it helps to refine the problem statement - outline the issues and problems without offering solutions straight away & see if others note the same problems? It seems silly, but sometimes it's easier to get folks on board with problems…
