Lol weren't they just running a ton of feel good headlines about providing asylum to Iran's women football team that would "save" them from the regime at home.

Of which I think only 4 decided to opt for it.

I know its the same ol map but the abstaining countries speaks a lot more to their current relationship with the US.

If you're curious about the history, public school lunches were federally funded and made free under FDR during WWII to combat malnourishment, especially for high schoolers who were getting drafted after turning 18.

It was so successful that the US continued the policy even after the war ended, and hence cafeterias became the default since they include a large kitchen that's capable of producing high quality food at large quantities.

That is until Reagen, among a crap ton of other things, nuked lots of the socialist policies which included free school lunches.

Schools continued to produce lunch, but you had to pay.

40+ years of insane decline later, and public schools are so under funded that they can't even afford to produce lunch in their cafeterias anymore. American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that's often banned by other countries due to health risks.

The final killing blow was when Michelle Obama failed to tackle this core issue in her student health campaign, and they forced public schools to ban essentially flavor as a concept (anything "high" in salt, spice, oil/fats, calories, etc).

Everything was switched over to "healthy" options which literally just meant low fat/zero calorie slop or sugar slop.

If you want a real kicker, the chocolate milk they served at my HS had 28g of sugar per serving lol. But don't worry because the vending machines now only have baked potato chips and diet soda.

His announcement reminds me of the fake Hitler broadcast on Hogan's Heroes where they proclaim Germany is winning rhe war but negotiations are happening lol.

If you mean inevitable due to lack of global action, then yeah because that's how most models present eventual societal collapse.

If you mean because its too far gone, that's not true. There's still time to mitigate the issues we've created, but the effort required increases every year, and there's not enough being done about it.

I read the title in the same voice as youtube's "That's how the law works."

I seriously would not mind RCS if Google didn't monopolize it.

I will be forever on MMS because I'll never use Google's crappy message app.

No one is sending anything substantial over SMS for me anyway, so it's not an issue where I need an e2ee channel with someone who doesn't have signal

Why am I like this?

Procrastination

And how can I make it stop?

Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.

Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

You know the funny thing is there's actually a biblical calculation that puts the end of the world around 204X that several well known Christian Theoloegians calculated including Isaac Newton.

It seems odd to me that fanatics ignore this prediction and insist on accelerating the end times or claim that the rapture is tomorrow.

The other funny thing is all the insane level of violence and corruption that both Christian and Islamic eschatologies warn about in great detail.

If you're familiar with either source, the irony is astounding. People read a big fat warning about the end times and then decided "We can accelerate this and make it into heaven by playing the explicitly evil guys in this big fat warning".
