The knowledge lost would be devastating. I hope they are simply forced to change their business model.

What a fascinating question! I hadn’t previously considered this.

For me, the coffee helps lol

I used to be the same :) But a while back, I was hospitalized for severe depression. I learned in IOP that doing something you love to warm up for the day - instead of immediately pursuing productivity - improves happiness and helps me look forward to the day instead of dreading it and making it hard to get out of bed in the morning.

I do as well. It’s a lot of work, but at this point, it comes naturally.

If you’re looking to bolster any routine: my unsolicited advice is to add stuff to your routine slowly over time. One thing at a time. If you jump into a whole new routine, you’ll burn out and abandon it. It definitely takes some building and patience.

Oh, a morning routine! It’s my favorite part of the day and something I’m oddly passionate about!

Most importantly, I make sure to go to bed at a reasonable time the night before, and i leave my curtains open to let the sunlight wake me up naturally. Just in case I’m extra sleepy, I set a vibration alarm on my phone and place it under my pillow for backup

After I wake up, I:

1. Head to the restroom

2. Sluggishly make my bed

3. Go downstairs, drink a glass of water to hydrate, and then brew some coffee

4. feed the cats

5. Then I drink coffee and watch TV for a bit while I wake up and wait for the caffiene to kick in

6. Shower, brush teeth, apply deoderant, style hair, shave stubble, apply cologne

I have really shit mental health, so I have to take extra care of myself and be very intentional about my actions. My morning routine is a sacred part of the day and helps me enjoy being alive :)

All of this is completely normal, yes. However, frequency and intensity are typically the separating factors between neurotypicals and those diagnosed with ADHD.

Gavin?

The trick is nuance. Being bombarded constantly by meaningless ragebait is not healthy, but it it very important to remain informed.

Libertarians can be both Left or Right, Libertarianism is just the opposite of Authoritarianism. Left/Right just indicates economic policy.

Huh, a very intriguing thought; thank you for sharing

Have you ever heard of the Dark Forest theory?

I mean this in the friendliest, most non-confrontational way; It sounds as though you’ve been fed quite a bit of misinformation, Biden is most definitely not Far Left. If you’d like me to elaborate I am willing.

This is definitely not “Liberal Economics”.

In short: it was criminal negligence with intent to keep revenue streams flowing. I work as a Fraud Investigator, our sister department handles higher profile cases such as this.

Needless to say, the situation certainly faltered my trust in our processes, procedures, and integrity. So, I’m leaving lol. I dont have kids or anything so i’m able to make the leap into schooling

Living it right now, my sister department was caught up in the Jeffery Epstien situation. It came to light a few weeks ago after our company settled for 290 million.

I’m abandoning my success in this field to go back to school as a Nurse. Fuuuuuuck my company, and my field. Hoping i can be a benefit to humanity for a change.
