  • Isn’t that the truth.

    there is a fad of supplements. Supplements are important for certain conditions and life styles(?) for sure. But they’ve been over sold I think as a dietary supplement to be normalized. I grew up with the education thinking they are the necessity. Like part of nutrition and regular diet.

    It is not a necessity with the right food tho.

    I had found Supplements became unnecessary when I implemented food balance in meals (always more veggies, fruit and beans) and looked up how much exactly is in different types of food and measure it. Logging is pretty important to train the habit though. Used to have no idea if I had been doing the right levels. Just took multivitamins and thought I was good. Now I just keep a bottle of calcium and vitamin d around if after I checked my levels and found I didn’t get enough during the day. Most stuff is already supplemented via the diet. Like all the a b c k vitamins and several minerals. If im doing beans, fruit and veggies every day these shouldn’t be necessary to take in pill form.

    (But also alcohol can starve the brain of vit b and cause a brain condition) so I’m scarce on that stuff.

    Having said that I still found if doing a whole bunch of overtime and not eating healthy or regularly, or have had oral surgery or oral injury: supplements/adding to blended smoothies are probably necessary for those times.


  • I wouldn’t say changing to Linux changed my life so much as it preserved the life I wanted. The change was just some (thankfully) brief adjustments to get comfortable with it. Way easier than I thought it was going to be and so much of that is thanks to the gurus online leaving answers and blogs for us folks in the transition period.

    The point was that I didn’t want my life changed by windows becoming worse and worse anymore. In a disposable world closing us off from each other with too much change too fast going on right now because of the heavy handed over implementation of AI hard yanking control away from user: Linux gave me an option to retain the permanence, connection and control I wanted from my experience.

    Apparently windows AI update broke recently . I don’t even remember the last time I loaded windows. I think it’s been a few months. Now I don’t even want to look back. Just relieved that if something like that happened on a Linux distro, rollbacks are easier to accomplish on the user side. Already theorized, practiced and prepped my parachute for something like that. Ok maybe you’re right. It has changed me. I don’t think I would have thought and behaved like this had I stayed on windows.
















  • I hear you. Yes, It’s definitely easier when there are at least already one or two women already present.

    But sometimes you have to watch your back sometimes even then. Cuz there can be the ‘pickme’ ladies that lean into the misogyny. I’ve come by some real toxic ones that had rap sheets of other victims all women that had bundled together and basically had group therapy about the same woman.

    That’s where I start saving every single email they (the toxic ones) send me. I’ve taken one or two out in my day just on ‘accidently’ forwarding an email they sent me they thought they had me too intimidated to send. I was just biding my time giving them false confidence.

    Strength sometimes takes a lot of patience to help a person fuck up in front of the wrong line of people.

    Document everything.
