I am debating paying out of pocket to early-fill scripts insurance won't pay for until 1/22 in case things are so hosed then I can't get my benzo script. If that happens I have like most of a gram of norflurzepam banked against just this kind of fuckery but I'd rather not touch it.

I'm going to be honest - I am a life-long D voter. I always considered myself moderate until Trump pushed me to the left, and now that I've finally opened my eyes to the shitstain that is the Democratic party - i will not vote for dems ever again.

I feel sorta lost in that respect. I just cant support genocidal sociopaths.

the people who say "you have to vote or you are part of the problem" happen to routinely be the people who are in position to take advantage of the ecosystem sustained by your voting

put another way, if your vote cannot be used to make things better for the people you love
you may as well use it to harm the people you dislike

I cannot wait to hear this speech.

quote:

WASHINGTON—As Covid-19 cases climb across the U.S., President Biden and his administration are preparing Americans to accept the virus as a part of daily life, in a break from a year ago when he took office with a pledge to rein in the pandemic and months later said the nation was “closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus.”

A large collection of ebooks helps.

Particularly if you're into programming or history or anything else that's reading intensive.


Tip for reading EPUBs on a Windows system: get a copy of the Basilisk browser, which is a Firefox pre-Quantum fork, and install a legacy copy of the epubreader firefox extension on the thing.

Don't bother with the "latest" version of epubreader that's ported to current versions of Firefox. When the developers rewrote the epubreader code for FF Quantum, they effectively destroyed most of the functionality. That's why you want the legacy pre-Quantum build, and that's why you need a pre-Quantum fork of FF.

Waterfox will not work for this; I tried it. Pale Moon used to work for this purpose, before the Pale Moon devs shot their own project in the head by closing it to legacy FF extensions, but no longer.

This combo beats the hell out of every other free EPUB reader that runs on Windows, excepting only Sumatra. Multiple ebooks up in multiple browser windows simultaneously? No problem. Left hand ToC pane with a fully detailed "table of contents"? No problem. Navigating internal hyperlinks? No problem.

You don't need Quantum's loading speed for EPUBs that reside on your PC or your local network. A pre-Quantum version runs like lightning. And compared to any browser, used for just about any other purpose, the memory and CPU consumption are tiny.

I haven't yet had trouble with using calibre.

learn go and do a daily tsumego.

go/baduk/weiqi is a 10000000 year old game from asia. if you've seen a beautiful mind or any other movie where they need a game that a smart guy plays and chess is too basic, it'll be go.



really simple rules that produces complexity due to the size of the board. the daily tsumego are a small "life or death" slice where you need to figure out the next moves to make your group survive (usually by creating a structure known as "two eyes"). you can start online but if you find a board, it's can be quite satisfying to place the stones physically.

edit: OR I GUESS YOU CAN PLAY CHESS LIKE A BASIC

Go is an amazing game.

Back when I was a high school kid who had only recently discovered chess, I played Go with other chess club nerds on 1/4" grid graph paper. You can get by fine without board and pieces; it's not perfect but it'll work.

Thing was, I also discovered that
  • my memory truly sucked, and that's a "must-have" skill if you want to really go places with either chess or Go, and
  • I got well and truly bitten by the math bug. Maybe more accurate to say a longer term latent infection of the math bug got switched on bigtime when I was introduced to algebra as a HS freshman. And you can have the World's Lousiest Memory and still kick rear end and take names with math because you don't [i]need]/i] memory. Logic is everything, and it tells you everything.

yknow, this is actually reality, COVID isn’t going away, but it’ll be nice to hear it capped off with “…so that’s why I’m pleading for all Americans, get vaccinated, get your kids vaccinated, and for gods sake wear a mask” to really punctuate, for the 100th time, that there is no plan or desire to do anything except completely give up and let the virus mutate and gently caress us up and give us long COVID because maybe that won’t happen until after midterms

It's not intentional because those people are not actually in charge. Capital is in charge, and it does not have an answer to this.
