Capitalism can only work when there's cheap labor and someone consumes the fruit of said labor.

When nobody earns is the same as everyone earns the same amount (aka inflation) as long as there have been humans, there will be someone grabbing more than everyone else.

So question would be how do you make transition into a world where there's less paid work?

Balcony solar is limited to 700-800 watt for safety reasons. There's also a lobby to get ppl to need an electrician for installation, which is bullshit. Rising energy prices (I paid minimum 50 bucks/Month) and sneaky corporate tactics (they give you 12 ct/kwh then after like half a year make it 60 ct/kwh) makes ppl want more price independence, which is understandable

Just wanted to add for anyone suffering problems with gums and teeth

Gums and Collagen - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7570157/

* As far as I understood, calcium needs a scaffold to attach to bones and teeth - collagen, as in gelatine, can seemingly support the regeneration of the gums, as well as some limited regeneration of the teeth

* Personal Note: I used to have knee pain in my twenties when I still ate a standard diet, when I took collagen it took about a month until the knee pain went away

* Teaspoon in the morning was enough

* Overdosing on Collagen might create some problems - might wanna read up on this

I liked gpt3 no need to fix something that's not broken :(

I kinda think beyond meat is for ppl who care about taste. You can fake meat taste and texture much cheaper.

For ppl who care about nutrients, artificial meat seemingly gets more expensive and you also need licenses probably and what not.

Health wise it's in your own best interest to eat animals that fave been able to forage and graze in the sun. See Vitamin d and so on. Those ppl won't buy factory slurry.

Couldn't get rid of some assistant that I would have to have registered with Samsung last phone. When it broke I switched over to a used Nokia. Little bit less convenient but I wish they wouldn't keep pushing that annoying spyware stuff on us... I'm perfectly fine to just use my phone for browsing and staying in touch with ppl... Why the f. Do I need Google Assistant which I also can't cancel...I swear, next phone will be one of those bricks for the elderly...

Benzene at 200 1 year ago

Lots of sunscreen and other beauty products seem to be contaminated with benzene. Johnson & Johnson was caught a few times putting it in baby powder or something

can just speak for myself, but I wouldn't be employable after a layoff like that... I't get a mental meltdown and afterwards would probably be on disability until I got mentally better. They're literally teaching thausands of people that they aren't reliable and can't be trusted. I mean, if that's what you're aiming for, good for you, but I'd recon that you'll end up with more people that want your head now than before.

Can for myself just say I took the anime for a while but don't think it did anything. Way higher effect was switching to decaf and then drink mushroom coffee for alertness. There are different mixes out there, I just went with a random one from Amazon when I enjoyed some test-packages from chi-coffee. I'm also mixing with cocos cream and cows milk.

I did have some experience with dog food, where I'd feed the dog and after a few weeks noticed joint pain. I'd not paid attention, but there were beets in the dog food. That was kinda blind until I noticed symptoms. I realized, I was licking the leftovers on the spoon before I washed it by hand. Not sure this counts as blind testing.

Sadly it feels impossible to find a doctor in germany that knows what to do about it. The last success was with something like oxalobacter. For a few months now I could eat at least some salad, but seemingly that effect weakens over time.

So I think I have found a probiotic that works, but it doesn't stick well. This article mentions genetic traits being connected to the biome. So I think I'll have to have genetic testing eventually, but I'm way paranoid to hand over my genes to some random lab.
