As others have pointed out, maybe look for a hobby.

Take baby steps towards becoming more involved in the things that youre passionate about. Housing affordability, the climate, and other things are on everyone's mind these days, and maybe there's something there that you have some strong feelings about. Look for virtual municipality or state/province public consultations about those things (e.g. new housing development consultations), and lend your voice to it. Meet new people with the same ideas.

Tldr, Try to make some of your free time into something self-directed, constructive and fulfilling (instead of passive algorithm surfing).

Many of us have indigenous ancestry but don't identify as indigenous. It seems to me that the Indian Act made it black and white for a lot of people - you're either Status Indian or not indigenous at all. This story is so damaging to people who might want to reconnect and learn about their ancestry. If I had a real choice to embrace indigenous culture as my own growing up, I would have in a heartbeat.

I had to make a choice between being able to be financially in the green and BG3. I'm afraid I won't get to share your joy for at least a few months. I am so happy that the hype is real. Can't wait!

Embrace ~~the dark side~~ expressing yourself without the perfection filter of spellcheck. Those squiggly red lines want you to be someone youre not. Punctuation prevents you from being you. Spell things your own way. Make up your own words.

Mixed feelings about some of the parks. But I guess it's already happening, so, awesome

Trying to understand - is this making fun of stoicism?

my immediate thought is monthly membership fees for tenant unions are just lining someone's pocket, and preying on hopeful and vulnerable people. Please correct me if this is off base for these organizations..

I suppose standing in solidarity might include physically showing up to their events and volunteering time and resources.

Thanks for these links. I skimmed through them and realized I'm pretty lucky to have the time and energy to read articles this lengthy. The article on Chow mentions her idealistic vision of community-based-everything, and how it really relies on civic engagement. I just don't think people can afford to take time to read or reflect at depth on many of the issues this election, or on community issues in general. And the trend is likely to worsen, or at least push more people to single issue voting.

Slashdot still gets the job done for tech and science news.

It's been about two years since I did my last one, but I wrote a few things down at one point for reference:

1. Eat carb rich breakfast on the day of, and aim to eat a small snack every hour after this
2. Try to drink a bottle per hour. I have one kidney and this worked well for me. I normally throw in some electrolyte powder every few bottles or bring banana or two.
3. Start standing out of saddle to stretch early and often
4. Change hand positions often
5. I start to stiffen up if breaking for more than 10 minutes at a time

Have fun 😊

Somewhat related is the concept of ontological shock. Most recently saw a post on Reddit about it, linked below. I can relate to the idea of my brain building a running narrative of how the world works, and fitting information into that framework on the fly. When I come across things that don't fit into that framework it's easy to dismiss the information and run towards people that share that worldview. Ontological shock happens when you reexamine the core of your worldview based on irrefutable new information, and realize that your existing framework of predicting and understanding things in the world no longer works. Facsinating stuff, and it truly shows that we can absolutely be living in completely different realities than our neighbours.
