If only this progress had happened for happier, nobler reasons.
Depends on how out of reach. Stocks exchanged in other, possibly hostile countries? (Edit: Right, needs that account to hold them that others are talking about, duh.) Property in other countries that allow it (eg. most of EU does afaik)?
Well shit, I wasn't planning on assassinations but some people already behave like they have a baguette up their ass, and this could be improved.
There has to be a pretty good vegan french toast recipe somewhere for inspiration on egg replacement.
"Lukee kuin piru Raamattua" (Finnish).
Literally "to read like the Devil reads the Bible".
Meaning to examine something in bad faith. Never heard it used it in context of the Bible or anything religious, but eg. when interpreting law or contract, looking for the details that could be twisted for your purpose, rather than what the text attempts to convey.
Homeless. My country has decent social security and "housing first" policy, it's reasonable to expect to be able to exit the situation soon.
US, same, but exit for edgier reasons.
I don't think community service for women would be anything but a punishment, it wouldn't improve defence in any way and would just be an excuse to not pay someone to do the same job.
I've lately been thinking that some kind of weekend-long preparedness course every year, or every few years, might be a good option. With an intensive 1-4 week infodump and practical training to start with. Hopefully in case of SHTF we could help keep everyone warm, fed and un-panicked for at least a few days while everyone further up the chain has their hands full. Also might help combat misinformation, maintain first-aid and civilian firefighting skills, enhance home cybersecurity, establish a neighborhood LoRa/Meshtastic network or get everyone on Briar for communication without major infrastructure (okay, that's just me daydreaming), etc.
But yeah, pro-mandatory-military-training in our case, target group however the defence forces wants to set it, but don't really see the point in a US setting.
Stubbornly not taking my antidepressants in the morning, whether relenting later in the day or not. Venlafaxine, how I love thee and thy withdrawals.
There's a lot of free things happening in my town. Okay-to-excellent concerts, art event openings, always something at the library, (bring/pay for materials only) FabLabs, screenings of weird old/foreign movies. I'd take more advantage of them, hopefully with friends and family. If no friends and family to embarrass, become politically active. Rest and read more.
Maybe move the apps into a work profile meanwhile.
What do you mean by that?
On Android, not sure if iOS has something similar. Install Shelter from F-droid to create a work profile and control whether the apps in work profile are active or not, install WhatsApp, Facebook etc. in the work profile, disable work profile. That way launching the app becomes a 2+ click process (enable work profile, launch app) that registers and can't be done out of habit. Plus it adds some granular control to your systen, you could disable location, have a shorter/no contact list, or stricter VPN/NetGuard rules for the apps in the work profile so they have more limited access to track you.
In your 40s your body begins to break down. Often your mind slows down too. And you'll have people relying on you, whether at work as a senior colleague, your children, your aging parents/other relatives, your friends whose bodies have begun to break down, or whatever responsibilities/opportunities you've taken in your various communities.
