A long time ago i bought the cheapest bottle of sparking wine i could, my friends know i have it too - when it happens - well meet and open the bottle, cheer and weep, and prepare for whatever happens next

Maybe a bunch of hackers locked in over winter

As an adopted kid who was rescued from an abusive environment, and is now an adult, this is a pretty messed up and just mean in its generalization.

If you are a potential parent, and your heart is big enough to let a kid in genuine distress and need be a part of your family and life, like i once was, i beg of you to truly consider the option

Absolutly i had issues coming out of my original household and the foster system, and thankfully with the irrevocable love and skill my foster and then adoptive family put into me, i did change, i was able to heal, i was able to get better.

To forsake all the children is bad, certainly i was difficult for my family, and maybe even more than the average biological kid (even so, ive seen some monsters that were bio-raised, im sure you have too), i came out alright, and i protect and have undying infinite love for my family, the family that adopted me and helped me when and where i needed it, and tolerated me with their love through my struggles

If you are thinking of becoming a parent or adding to your family, you should at least consider adoption, at least seriously ask yourself the question and look up the realities and see if its right for you.

And if, after looking it up, you understand that your heart is not the one that can take in an adopted kid, then you shouldnt adopt, and that is ok too. But if your heart is the kind that can, then please do not be discouraged, contact the foster care agency and tell them youre cautiously curious and you can figure it out further from there.

After i turned 30, i was rapidly confronted with consequences for my unhealthy lifestyle from my teens and twenties, you learn quickly that things need to change after glancing at death a couple times and at hospital stays.

Thankfully i have the motivation to keep living, and that began to drive my actions after that

Eat healthy less processed foods made in your kitchen and bought from farmers and markets

Gym and active hobbies like hiking and dancing at least three times a week

Hygene routines solidified, brushing teeth twice daily, non negotiable, thorough flossing and even tounge scrapping daily, fresh clean towel after the daily shower - its worth the extra laundry imo

Skincare, especially daily sunscreen, non negotiable - face, neck, and exposed arms - brimmed hat when on a daily walk, upf 50+ clothing if outside for more than an hour doing chores of on hobbies - in the morning vit c on the face, and in the night a retinol (vit a derivitive)

Hearing protection when at any music shows, wear them so you can keep hearing shows for the long term and not be that guy that says “WHAT?!” at every sentence. Genuinely, i prefer to go with good earplugs now than without

Keeping hold of and scheduling meets with friends, family, and neighbors - as you get older it gets so easy to drift a part, we are all busy, and that 3 minutes spent texting to say “hey lets hang out, does thursday evening work?” makes good friends into best friends - lonely people die faster - be that family, friends, neighbors, and yourself

As i get older and take care of myself, its easier to love myself, and thus, its easier to love other people and receive their love too. Get philosophical about it, it also takes care of you.

Humans assign certain names to certain wavelength of the em spectrum

In this case red is often defined as wavelenths between 625 to 700nm, greens are 500 to 565nm, while yellow is defined as 565 to 590nm.

If a human saw em light at 580nm, wed call that yellow

But for an rgb screen, it never produces light at 580nm, only red green and blue lights, but, as a quark of our biology, if humans see red and green light at certain amplitude ratios, most humans will interpret that light in the same way as it does light at 580nm

This to say, yellow light does exist, but screens do not make it, but it does make light that the human can interpret as the color of yellow regardless

For those who have always seen this image and advice and have been like, “huh?” Like i was for the longest time, it wasnt until i finally started going to the gym and learning squats did i realize how fulfilling and painless lifting with proper form is

If youre looking for a good starting point for learning squats at home, ive sent this video to a couple friends with positive results: https://youtu.be/k-0OYcoyASk

Its worth it

Yeah and? Going into schools as a mentor role and coming out with a “romantic” relationship with one of the students whom he met when she was 16/17 is what id call grooming behavior.

Its not ok and it should not be glossed over in one paltry sentence.

This guy is a creep.

Why is there no mention of his grooming and pedo behavior?

Keep these creeps away from power, have we not learned this lesson?

secrecy orders have been imposed not only on inventions affecting military defense but also on those alleged to threaten economic stability, with critics noting that many such restrictions rest on speculative or unproven harms.

But also

The law applies broadly to all inventions in the United States for which a patent is filed or granted (35 U.S.C. § 181).

So if you really do have a society changing invention - one that could upset this capitalist or neoliberal world order - it is your duty to publically release it and not patent it
