Damn, it really is all projection. I was wondering where the Chinese doping witch hunt had come from. I guess I have my answer now.

It's a comedy of errors for sure. I remember reading a while ago that the people with the skills and degrees to work these chip fab jobs are getting peeled off to just write javascript for the same or greater pay and a fraction of the effort too. You can't even just try to break these labor aristocrats because they will just write javascript instead. And the javascript developers shit out labor discipline software. So just like cops they get disproportionate pay to everyone around them for protecting capital.

I was sitting a few rows behind some rowdy British teens on holiday the other day and between skibbidi and the British slang, I understood none of what they had said. Is this what getting old feels like?

I hate javascript. I hate javascript. I hate javascript.

Javascript and mobile apps will not fix structural issues in society.

People who suggest otherwise should be conscripted to build public housing and throw eggs at nimbys at city council hearings.

Idk about stores of modern weapons, but a lot of retired stuff in warehouses are gone in a demonic iphone upgrade program at the public's expense where any piece of aged equipment was donated to make room in a warehouse for Raytheon's tank du jour.

Silly liberals, dudes on walls went out of fashion when the cannons became mainstream jajaja.

Speaking of cannons what's the artillery ratio between the two sides again?

Holy moly the amount of racism.

I'm surprised they're turning on him and raising the issue at all. He didn't seem substantially worse than his 2020 campaign run and Axios (I think) had already floated the "staffers privately tell us he's senile" piece earlier in his term but it didn't seem to stick. His current state can't be a surprise to power brokers so why hang him out to dry now?

I suspect they're trying to avoid a primary. The 2020 election showed the average democrat voter is too dumb to pick up on media hints to the insiders' favorite candidate and the average well-established democrat is too greedy and delusional of their own personal brand recognition to step aside. The pipeline of "chosen ones" that can be legitimized without much pushback at the convention seems empty.

The conventional wisdom is no caffeine after 4 but the half life is 4ish hours I remember reading somewhere. It's better to hard stop caffeine consumption before 2pm.

I think blue light also conflicts with your body's natural sleep priming so yeah cutting screentime before bed is a win or at the very least use the night mode or orange filter on your phone after sundown.

If your schedule is really bad, an acute solution is to hard reset by full commiting to going to bed at your new desired bedtime. Don't nap or anything that day if you can, and if your desired bedtime is too early you can try taking some melatonin. Don't use melatonin regularly though.

That's how I wrangle my sleep schedule back to a better baseline when it starts to drift towards later nights and waking up exhausted.

Hand wringing about the federal debt is how they gaslight you into signing off on dismantling regulatory apparatchik and the social safety nets.

Remember when they accidentally confirmed the mall in Kyiv that got shelled by evil Russians was actually a weapons depot when they reported on the TikToker across the street who was arrested by the SBU? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
