I’ve occasionally used alcohol to wind down a couple times before, but I’d say drinking on all your off days is still something to avoid. Can’t risk getting addicted to it, even when [and especially when] alcohol makes you feel more sane.
The only reason I have it sometimes is for the nice flavour pairings when mixing with non alcoholic drinks, but it is best practice to know and care about how much you’re drinking.
I love how the cover image is from the Epstein files, would’ve never expected it lmao
Realistically I’ve thought about Australia since it has a nice climate, decent politics, and no language barrier.
I wouldn’t go to Melbourne if I were you, half of yesterday was hot and dry, then the latter half was raining, and now today has been a mix of hot dry wind and then became hotter and dryer but without wind. It has gotten worse over the years, but the “multiple seasons in a day” phenomenon has been here since forever.
Sydney has pretty stable weather though and is generally nicer than here, but idk about the other cities, since I don’t really travel much.
To be honest, I found the screenshot elsewhere and it didn’t even occur to me that it was an onion article because of how real it sounds, but I guess it adds to the comedic effect.
I’ll add an acknowledgement and it’s URL, since I can’t switch the image. But hey, at least I didn’t post it in c/nottheonion!
From my point of view as someone who is likely autistic (undiagnosed but do plan to get assessed eventually), I have more autism symptoms now than I used to, and I was malnourished at an early point in my life due to how my birth went.
I used to snack on Arnotts Shapes often when I was younger and beyond that only had small dinners and cereal for breakfast, and I didn’t even have a routine, nor was I socially incapable, but I did stim a ton, with me getting seen as fidgety.
Now, I have the same breakfast daily, an omelet consisting of multiple eggs, at least a handful of home grown veg such as silver beet, some garlic and other seasonings, and some wholegrain wraps on the side. I made sure drinking water was also part of the routine to the point I almost drink too much.
However, that doesn’t change the fact I stim the same amount, I speak my mind and am very direct, I think, draft and reason about my interests in computing architectures, structural engineering, electrification, and sustainability almost constantly that it stops me from being as social as I could, and I still can’t prevent myself from forgetting to go to the bathroom and have showers, especially since those two aren’t part of my scheduled routine I’ve built, they just happen when they need to.
There is some truth in lack of proper nutrition worsening mental and physical issues, but the simple fact is autism is predominantly a difference in how interconnected parts of the brain are and how different it is to a neurotypical. This is also the reason why the people wanting to create an autism vaccine continue to fail.
Sounds like a porn title
Gives autism sample platter vibes
Doom scrolling short form video.
My dad does this for hours per day after work and nothing else, and now it seems he’s lost all his critical thinking completely and is commonly disregulated, and I’m kind of afraid he’ll get more forgetful and erratic, since he’s already showing signs of slipping into Alzheimer’s.
Legit the whole storyline of Star Trek TNG episode “cause and effect” if you repeat it a few times and end it with them escaping eventually.
An idea I really like is a form of degrowth with universal basic services that eventually leads to currency being unnecessary, but it unfortunately has to be directly initiated by governments and tends to require approval of business leaders since they can just lobby out those policies entirely in many countries and blocs.
At this point, in my opinion, we’ll need to make money obsolete and distribute power over production, governance and technology in as wide a net as we can, so we don’t slip into global dystopia because these money-minded chucklefucks are insecure about their purpose in life so they simply become the cartoon villain that controls everything.

Interesting how a vast majority of the right wingers I know, including my dad, don’t research anything at all, and only rely on algorithms to give them right wing rage bait.
My dad for example said to me that “all these foreign exchange students are getting $50k grants for entering the country on MY taxes” after hearing it on TikTok, then I did the most minor research and found that it’s only for one of the states (I think either QLD or WA, can’t remember which though). I rebutted his claim by stating that it’s state legislation and has no basis in taking other state taxes nor much federal tax, and he gave me a long winded explanation basically just to say that I don’t know what I’m talking about.
Apparently getting force fed slop on TikTok and instagram reels makes you a prolific researcher, while actually researching makes you a bum or something.
Unrelated to algorithms but I opened Roblox yesterday after not playing for a long while and I found that they’ll give you a ‘free item’ if you do an age check
Disgusting, coercive bullshit just so kids can give their biometric data to American companies. Funny how the eSafety Commission managed to completely forget about the privacy rights of children, let alone those of adults, just so they can rush through their age verification legislation like the world depended on it.
Wow, the US government is so paranoid, because how the fuck in your right mind can you find a reason to think “everyone’s out to get me” because others want to edit a map? It’s also funny how they never specify what this “radical ideology” is, despite constantly complaining about it like a child would about their mother not getting them an ice cream.
At this point I’d rather turn it off, since iOS spell check csnt stop replacing real words with those I accidentally butchered once
These slopstitutes really think they’re developers but they haven’t heard of the 3-2-1 backup method
