I dont understand the questions, what is the context of both of these things?

At minimum there would be mass celebration across the country, and some worldwide

I went from living in true squalor to having a mostly clean apartment, with a couple corners of mess. It took a year or two for the habits to stick and I still slip up when life gets hard, but I’m very happy with the progress I’ve made.

The answer for me was to get lots of bins/boxes, and tall bookshelves I could keep them on. I have several bookshelves, about half filled with books and half storage. I think I have ~20 different bins, stashed in cabinets under counters, in closets, on bookshelves, and several baskets for tables/counter tops.

It does take some looping around, it is a long process when you first start. But each time you cycle through you’ll be a little bit closer to your goal, so it takes a mindset of “it doesnt need to be perfect or finished today, just better.” I underestimated the number of bins/baskets I would need at first, and actually I still need more lol.

Give yourself some grace and understanding, if it’s a priority to you, you can do it! A mindset that helped me shift out of “ugh this is so boring and time consuming, why am I doing this” was to consider it self-care. Having an organized and clean home really helps my mental health. I didnt realize the extent of the low-key shame I felt every time I came home and saw so much clutter/mess. Instead, I see my carpets and mostly clear tables/counters and feel proud of myself, even when it isnt perfect.

After being directly adjacent to three separate apartment fires, we also have several fire extinguishers and escape ladders stashed around the apartment.

Every few months I have to reset my dictionary. My phone will eventually decide that because I mostly use the words “hope” and “will” at the beginning of sentences, the correct spelling must be capitalized. Drives me nuts

I have to do something more fun, i cant do cardio or weights no matter what i watch or listen to. Dance and martial arts are super engaging.

Not the onion is for real news that sounds like it should be an onion article

no, just forgetful lol

famous examples of this in my family include “lava mountain” for volcano and “lamp hat” for lamp shade

you are spreading made up shit as we speak to prove your own point, and you’re very rude. you have reached a conclusion and think anyone who disagrees with you is either a liar or stupid. bye

yes that’s why I made up an arbitrary example of something I had experienced firsthand

I see speculation but nothing solid. I think google is pulling from the rumors, which it really shouldn’t. If he is slated then that’s fine, let me know if you find anything

google claims Alan Tudyk is in Andor, he isn’t

imdb for andor

imdb for alan tudyk

I mean if they got it right it would be a handy feature lol, but yes it clearly can’t be trusted so I stopped bothering

oh okay, you wanna be like that

Google straight up lies to me about movies an actor has been in, almost every time. “Wow, I had no idea Robert Downey Jr was in Mean Girls! Who did he play?” checks imdb “no he fuckin wasn’t wtf google” (this is an arbitrary example I just made up because I don’t feel like finding a real one right now)

~IIRC from my one stats class almost a decade ago, the math is pretty simple. If it’s truly a random guess then you have a 25% chance to get each question right, all you have to do is multiply them. (0.25)(0.25)=0.0625, you have a 6.25% of getting a 100. The other option to get a 50 is (0.25)(0.75)=0.1875, 18.75%. So there is a 75% chance of failing both.~

~If you get a second chance and can remember your two wrong answers, each problem now has only three options. To get each right, (0.33)(0.33)=0.1089, 10.89% chance. To get one right, (0.33)(0.67)=0.2211, 22.11% chance. 67% chance of failing both a second time.~

Something is amiss with my logic/math here but I’m too tired and am going to sleep now. With this logic, failing both the first time would be (0.75)(0.75)=0.5625 56.25%, the %s don’t add up to 100% so someone please correct me lol

I have this issue too. I have a few people in my life who pay attention to the news, I just ask them to inform me when something big happens, or I ask for updates if it’s been a week or two. I check out those specific topics then move on. I realized it didn’t serve me to stay very informed, so I just want the bare minimum.

I go through phases. I was glued to the news at the start of the Israel-Hamas war, then it became too much and I had to back off. I’ll be back at it again at the height of the 2024 US election so I can make informed voting decisions, then I’m done again until the next major thing.

Yes they do, but not because it is a diuretic. The mechanism that stimulates muscles in the colon is different from the mechanism that pulls water and salt into the kidneys. The way diuretics impact bowel function is actually by taking water from the digestive tract, which does not cause people to need to poop. The muscle stimulation does that.

IIRC, diuretics make people pee, not poop. Caffeine stimulates the colon which makes people need to poop, which is unrelated to it being a diuretic. Diuretics can cause constipation because they pull water from the digestive tract.
