That's your definition of mild? Anything less than begging to die? Get well soon.

It's similar for me recently. I tried shifting my priorities like "that's a problem for future me, right now I need to focus on healing". It partly worked, but the stress is still there in the background. Meditating helped, so I should do that more. Get well soon.

They will avoid bad food, because other rats avoid it. So, maybe?

I can't help you, but for what it's worth: I totally get you and think you're 100% right. You're not crazy. They probably think, people will end up planning for more people and include the staff, but I agree that even from a capitalist perspective, it would still make more sense to give people that tiny benefit. I would care about this at least this much too. Wish you the best.

Garp seems to be getting some crucial character development. I wrote this fanfic last week:

How Garp should dieKoby should be the one to kill Garp in a future battle over marijoa. After the fight:

Koby(furious): GARP SENSEI! I OWE YOU EVERYTHING! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST STOP FIGHTING FOR THOSE MONSTERS, EVEN AFTER ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT WERE REVEALED ABOUT THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS?!

Garp(dying): Cough, cough... Shut up! You think I didn't know all that already? You can't make an old dog change his ways!

Koby: W-what are you talking about?

Garp(whispering): The truth is, I had my chance at God valley. My brave son took the chance to remain human, but I was too much of a coward to do the same... It was then, that I became one of them... One of... the monsters (transforms)

Narrator: Monkey D. Garp, Dog-Dog fruit model bootlick-terrier, secret God's Knights pet

Garp: I'm already dead... inside

Koby: Nani?

Garp: Don't act surprised, I've always been nothing more than the governments dog! You see that cap? I wear it to remind me of my shame... (coughs blood) Ever since God Valley, all I wanted was to train marines until I train someone strong enough to stop me from doing the dirty work of those disgusting tenryuubito... No pirate ever could. Finally, someone stepped up to the job!

Koby(biting his lip):...

Garp: I don't ask for forgiveness, because I don't deserve it. But I'm proud of you boy! Thank you for finally setting me free!

Koby(crying): G-Garp sensei!

Garp: They might not care, but tell my rotten son and grandson... I'm... proud of them... too... (dies smiling)

The history of philosophy without any gaps.

It's a very comprehensive podcast on European philosophy and philosophy in the Islamic world, including Jewish philosophy. It starts with the pre-socratics and is now up to Descartes. There are also three spin-off podcasts on African, Indian and Chinese philosophy.

There's an existential comic for this.

If only an unambiguous language wasn't fundamentally impossible. Thanks Wittgenstein.

You eat one bite and go: "Ohh, that's how eggplants were meant to be eaten. I did it all wrong all this time."

I think it's crazy to not open source everything, which is would happen in communism. Not just because of bus factor, but also for collaboration. Companies put random trace metals in their experimental chips, so you can't reverse engineer them from mass spectroscopy.

On the other hand, a lot of the knowledge isn't really secret, just patented and documented in papers. And many, many research institutes and companies who don't even make semiconductors, just parts for machines who do, share in the knowledge. After a catastrophe, we wouldn't have the newest generation chips anymore and it would take a lot of resources and effort to rebuild fabs, but we wouldn't start from zero.

Sounds reasonable. Probably should have done that sooner. Also, it doesn't take much accusing, since that's literally how they describe themselves: as collecting security information for foreign NGOs.
