Funding was cut by 20%. So I have to figure out what the team can’t get to.

Super fun. Also, I’ll probably start looking for something else. This stress is not worth it.

I voted early. My partner voted today. Took 2 hours. We both have anxiety because of the 2016 result. All the polls were looking good, then we woke up in what felt like the wrong reality.

It’s all everyone is talking about. At work, in my apartment building. Even the sports bar down the block had election coverage on. It’s unavoidable and inescapable. I’m watching a movie to distract myself. Then I’ll turn on the news once the polls start to close.

I was an election judge in 2020. I’m kind of feeling guilty for not doing it this year. But I don’t have the capacity. I’ve been feeling straight up burnt out for most of the year with no end in sight. I’m actually thinking about calling the employer EAP.

I always celebrate all the wins in life , no matter how small. October and so far November have not had any of these. I really hope I wake up with good news.

That sums it up well.

I’m all for research, it’s good to have proven methods to say “hey, this is not healthy”. But this is a no brainer. I always assume that even a healthy option at a restaurant is worse (high fat, high salt, high added sugars) than anything I’d make myself.

Nobody is kidding themselves into thinking any of these places are healthy.

I have nothing of value to add to your problem.

I do want to appreciate Beehaw mods (founders?) dedication to this. This is a huge headache to need an urgent solution, and you don’t get paid.

If you have a tips jar, buy me a beer, or fund my vacation fund, I’d love to give each one of you some $$ for all the work you do!

If I remember correctly, as I’m no expert in the affairs of Israel; the right wing people vote for this stuff. But they themselves have a religious exemption, so they don’t need to send their own kids to mandatory service.

Very messed up for the youth who have no say. War only affects the civilians who suffer for the goals of their overlords.

Gross. Can we start making fines meaningful? % of revenue maybe? I’m not an expert on this. But these fines should be more than enough to discourage behavior and not be “cost of doing business”.

Sometimes being alone is better than drama. Take the time to enjoy yourself. Don’t frame this as a negative. Go and do something you enjoy. Read a book while enjoying a cup of tea, watch movies, go out somewhere. The possibilities are many.

I just finished my final exam. I need a good grade to pass this class. So here’s to hoping I did it!!

That means it’s working!

Not a piracy answer, but email the author(s). Most are excited that someone is taking interest in their work and will gladly send you the paper.

May I suggest pinning this for more visibility?

Whatever the decision is, it’s important that everyone knows what’s going on. Whatever the outcome, I’ll stay/move to wherever Beehaw resides. I enjoy the space and vibe that’s created here.

I don’t use instagram. The article touches on the privacy issues of Meta, but doesn’t really explain why Pixelfed is a better alternative or if it’s more privacy focused. Or even why I should use this platform other than “hey, it’s not Instagram”.

I’d trust some random people running an activity pub server just as much as I’d trust Meta with my personal photos: I won’t.

Coming from Wired, I’d hope the article would have a more technology focused approach, explaining to people they could host their own server so they take back control of their own data. Isn’t that the part of the point of the fediverse?
