- Out? Water, sometimes coffee (when it's decent)
- Home? Tea, coffee, and water.
I quit drinking soda entirely. Alcohol too, but that was many, many years ago... back when I was an alcoholic.
- Daily walks. I started barely being able to walk more than a few steps, I was in a really terrible shape. Nowadays, I will walk at least 8km daily. More as often as I can. It feels too good. Exercising regularly and in the long-run is key.
- Eating healthier food, aka fresh fruits, veggies, real fresh bread and NOT eating industrial pre-processed food anymore. Like none at all. No 'just this one time' or 'just one byte'. No more feeding myself with ready-made dishes, no more fast-food (I still ate delicious burgers and fries mind you... just all hand-made with fresh food), no industrial sweets or whatever either. And no industrial beverage either, aka no soda not even light.
- Not being an asshole with myself. I failed many times at keeping my motivation. No blaming and no hating (I was already punished enough by all that wasted time it meant for me to fall back into my bad habits) but I kept on going while trying to understand how/why I failed (so I would not do the same mistake again).
I halved my weight and I still eat plenty (even chocolate, pastries or things like that, just... a lot less and never industrially made), I replaced me eating shit (literally, industrial are feeding us shit) by me eating actual food (and enjoying preparing it), and I also retook control my body, muscles and joints, by starting to move it... like it is was designed to. We're not designed to sit on a couch or in front of computer all day long (be it to work or to play).
You're not mistaken, as far as I can tell.
It's just that I'm so incompetent I would not dream of self-hosting anything critical like my spouse's and my passwords. Way too afraid to find ourselves completely locked out of them, or finding that someone else would have gained access to them. Just thinking about these give me goose bumps.
Just in case: 1Password is Canadian, maybe an option?
gg à elle, comme disent les jeunes je crois.
Ca fait plaisir de voir des jeunes qui se lancent comme elle... reste à espérer que nos diverses administrations et leur légendaire souci de ne pas compliquer la vie des indépendants ne viennent pas, heu, refroidir ses ambitions.
USA has obviously lost its way. It was hard to watch the orange one say to Ukraine they could go fuck themselves (despite the promises to protect them) and to say the same to us too, in his typical illiterate racist asshole manner.
But he only said out loudly what a lot of is friends are thinking. I don't know about you but I prefer to know what someone thinks about me, it makes things much simpler. But the USA not respecting us and not respecting its word doesn't make the USA our enemies.
The USA are sick of... the exact same disease that is spreading in the EU too, just not as quickly as it has ravaged them. The proud idiocy. A quickly rising illiteracy and non-education, coupled with a frenetic turning back to some kind of 'fundamental' or 'traditional' values that can be anything but rationality and/or sciences.
Meanwhile, our real enemies which, I insist, are not the USA but all those other countries and regions of the world that want our Western societies (and all of us, with all our 'immoral' lifestyles) to be gone, meanwhile those are exploiting our very own hysterical stupidity to try to further divide us.
Maybe we should question if that's really a good idea to help them achieve that goal?
For now, what we should thrive for is to try to keep in touch with whatever remain of a working democracy in the USA. Judging by what I can see and read coming from there, there isn't much left of if that is working.
That, much more than Trump and his many tantrum, is what should worry us because a democracy is all about safeguards and control (no one controls it, no one is supposed to own it, thx to the many safeguards). The vanishing of any safeguard able to stop an aberration like the orange one to get (and to get back!) to power is the telltale sign of a failing democracy. Trump is just the symptom of the disease and he will go away, if not in four years at the very least the day he dies (peacefully, of old age). But the structural failure of the US democratic system that were supposed to prevent anything remotely like Trump to ever grab the power? That is the real issue. And that issue won't fix itself that easily.
We should also send all our support to whatever non 'MAGA' working brain power remains in the USA. They badly need all the love they can get.
We also need to watch and to listen carefully to what's happening there, and analyze how it's happening. To prevent it from happening here. We are democracies too. With too many failing safeguards too. They've started failing a few decades ago in my country (France), and they're still failing to day in front of our very eyes. And we rejoice, because... here too, that proud idiocy is on the quick rise with its vocal 'demands' and its short-sighted certainties.
Maybe ours won't wear a silly buffalo costume when they will attempt their own coup, but I doubt they will look much smarter.
To resist that, we need to listen to what's happening here in the EU, not just in the USA, the sharp decline in education (the illiteracy of kids is real) and the rise of of a so-called 'fundamentalism' (often religious) ore the longing for 'traditional values' is not happening only the USA. And we also need to not mistake a sick friend, no matter how poorly he behaves, with our enemies.
If we want the current failing of the USA to remain an exception, and a short lived one as I have little doubt they can get back to their senses, maybe we should start by looking at what is happening around us here too and resist it.
I don't want to boycott the USA because they're acting like assholes, I want to promote EU-made solutions and tools because I want us to be able to not depend as much on the USA anymore—we now know how quickly they can change mood and forget their own word. I don't want to punish the USA because they're sick right now, I want them to get better. As quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, I want us to prepare for the same illness that has already started spreading in the EU too. We're not better and we're not smarter than the Americans, but watching them stumble we could prepare better.
And I want us to stop mistaken who our actual enemies are. There are plenty. USA is not one of them. Not yet.
Oh, it was about an app to watch stocks valuation, of course... Thx, now I understand the question 8)
