I think enshittification is hitting everything, but it’s probably also that you are old. I find that I just can’t eat the same way that I could 20 years ago.

Same here! Too much union busting for me to feel comfortable buying things there. I’m sure they’ve done other stuff, but that alone was enough for me.

The trick is that while you hold your ears ‘open’, you have your lungs try to not breath out but you don’t close your mouth. This lets the heart beating against your lungs be what pushes air in and out and then you hear the sounds of the air pulses as it moves past your eustachian tubes in your throat. Making sure your lungs are as full as possible is required so the lungs push against the heart.

I can do this. If I’m in a really quiet area, I like to take in a deeper breath and then exhale as slowly as possible while doing it, which then allows me to hear my heartbeat. Super nifty.

I can also use my soft pallet to block airflow from my throat to my nose. Can you do that too?

Tacos.

That’s where I rely on “fake it till you make it”.

Whenever I get Starbucks I feel guilty because they are union busters. I’ve been making a lot more coffee at home.

I’m using a regular pixel 4a. Does a degoogled version still have the awesome pixel call screening?

I learned in college (from my nurse girlfriend) that if a girl is taking antibiotics that it invalidates her birth control pills for the month and you need to use condoms until after her period.

Spread the word, brothers.
