Get a daily pill box.

It’s kind of cute.

Opera can actually be kinda fun, especially if it’s in a language you understand. It’s (mis)understood to be stuffy and boring now, but back in the day it was low-brow entertainment.

The working class needs help more than the middle class. We don’t need to have people be poor. Poverty should be eliminated.

Pouring some in a bowl then putting a clip on the bag at least makes it a decision to have more than you decided to.

I assumed northern hemisphere, if you’re in southern or tropics let me know. But I won’t be much help in equatorial suggestions.

Designer apples like honeycrisp are really good and apples are in season. Keep in fridge. Sour apples like granny Smith are ideal for pies or just bake them sliced with sugar on top

Pears are in season too, make sure they are deeply dentable with a finger before you eat so it’s juicy. Do not keep them in the fridge so they ripen properly.

Pomegranate can be expensive but it’s in season rn

She predicted Trump would win by choosing an apple or something lmao

Whereas in the US, what little scientific research there is definitely isn’t publicly funded through grants. But if it was, it would be okay because white people are doing it.

Theoretically, he has a lot more latitude to do terrible things. He doesn’t have to worry about polling ever again, and the courts have stated he can’t be held accountable for anything he does in the purview of his office.

On the plus side, zero spam texts today.

Seven of the 10 states that had an abortion ballot initiative passed one.

Arizona - Increased ban from 15 weeks to 24 weeks.

Colorado - Public state workers get abortion covered in their health insurance (it was already legal) in a state constitutional amendment.

Maryland - Constitutional amendment to shield health providers and doctors from charges for providing abortion services.

Missouri - Passed Amendment 3 to the Missouri constitution, really great win. This is defined in the text as the right to make and carry out decisions about all matters relating to reproductive healthcare including abortion, prenatal care, miscarriage care and more. Starting December 6th, Missourians can start suing the government to overturn now-unconstitutional abortion bans! (Side note, this may cover trans healthcare, but it will need to be tested in court to find out. Not explicit in the text).

Montana - In an amendment to the state Constitution, passed a quite comprehensive defense against the most common anti-abortion attacks.

Nevada - This one is kinda confusing. The first in a series of two ballot initiatives have passed to protect abortion until viability (24 weeks) has passed. However, to add it to the constitution, another initiative has to pass in 2026. It is currently legal abort up to 24 weeks by state law.

New York - Strengthened protections for trans medical care and abortion in the state constitution.

Florida failed to pass with 57% (needed 60%)
South Dakota - failed to pass with under 40% approval
Nebraska - Adds the 12 week ban on abortion to the state constitution.

Yup, can’t really blame the electorate when the DNC blocked democracy at every turn.

Yeah, there should be a flag set on a normal shutdown that is required for updates.

Or just use Linux and update at your convenience.

Well I would need to turn off my phone because I get like 12 spam political texts every day and one usually beats the filter.

The best thing is a requirement to have low cost units in all housing complexes throughout the city. There are many examples of all-low-income housing projects that are set up to fail by limiting maintenance funding to the rent from people who can’t afford to pay, so you really do have to look at the details.

This is indistinguishable from choosing a cashier because you know them and want to briefly talk.

Half of all sets in 2025 will be non Magic IP. So this will be an ongoing problem.

My local library literally has a podcast studio lmao

I tossed it into Google and this came out. It appears there are some proverb-like phrases and some references to Buddhism. And at least one phrase about food.

Translation follows

Even none

Nothing is afraid of destruction, nothing

No vision

even unconsciously

Consciousness without feelings

ears, nose, tongue, body and mind

Sono-flavor fermentation method

Lao Di

There is no end to ignorance

Immortal

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva

Wu Ku Ji Lu Dao Feng

No wisdom or humor

The path of beauty and righteousness endures all suffering

Traveling Deeply into Prajnaparamita

Seeing the five aggregates entering

Primary color is empty

Not dirty or dirty

The color is not dark, neither increasing nor decreasing

No fear

It’s the Supreme Brother

2

So

No pain
