I’m also at peace but this is my first fall/winter without cold tolerance.
Been a bit more sensitive to when the AC kicks on and directly blows on me, but surprisingly have been pretty okay with cold temperatures outside so far. Granted, I was also playing with the dog, so it might have just been because of physical activity keeping me warmer.
There's always the grey market for getting raws. Of course most individuals probably don't have access to the tools and knowledge to verify purity and going from raws to safe and accurately dosed medicine is another problem. But many people were already going that route anyways before this.
Like the math kind or the chemistry kind?
Had someone recently ask my brother and I if we were both gay and I kinda suspect it was a similar thing of them assuming my brother was gay and wondering what was up with me. At least I didn't just get assumed to be straight like the third person with us.
Doubt it matters that much what software you use to do some basic things - you could even use something like LibreOffice Writer if you really wanted to. I'd imagine learning some of the theory behind making eye-catching, readable works that effectively communicate something matters much more. Of course there's a lot more artistic things you can do to improve things.
Like ReadFanon said, I've heard good things about Krita from artsy people if you want something free. Clip Studio Paint seems like a pretty standard recommendation for paid software for individuals. PS seems to only be something people use because they learned to use it like a decade ago, so its easier to keep using it than to learn new software. GIMP seems pretty universally disliked (granted, its what I learned to use for some very basic things over a decade ago and I rarely use art programs, so its good enough on the rare occasions I'm trying to do something that requires one). Not sure about specifically for agitprop though.
I don't do design or art though, so probably better to learn from other people. Some artists love explaining their processes while they work, so just chillin' with them can be a way to get some basic understanding how workflows and how to use software, but so many artists have their own way of doing things, so I'd say just try things and see what does and what doesn't work and don't expect things to work well on your first try.
Found out today I shouldn't jog with only a loose tshirt. Not pleasant.
Don't worry. Just get like $10,000 in tax credits that you definitely early enough to use. Also do other home upgrades to get another $10,000 in tax credits that are definitely useful for you. Manufactures definitely won't also mark of prices because they know people who do make that kind of money will be using the credits in their accounting of the total vehicle cost, making those vehicles more expensive for poor people.
It's not choosing inflation. As pointed out, it could actually be deflationary depending how how the money is printed. Funding services and taxing the wealthy are two separate issues. Taxes have nothing to do with funding services and are only used as an excuse to not have universal health care or to much on climate change, both of which could be deflationary if funded by just printing money and doing nothing is inflationary.
Of course I also don't think billionaires should exist because they are separately harmful and only are possibly with exploitation. So I don't particularly have a problem with using taxes as a weapon to combat that symptom of the exploitive system, but it's like using paracetamol to treat an infection - its just treating the symptoms, which might be important to not die immediately and to be able to recover, but ideally you also treat the infection directly and then form antibodies to prevent future infections or have other external chances to reduce infectivity. So I'm not opposing taxes, but generally they are a distraction from other issues and meant to bore people by forcing advocates of such policies to waste time talking about boring specific tax policies rather than building a narrative about a better tomorrow.
If you just print money to fund a program that has a greater return on investment (ie: schools -> increased productivity, housing the homeless increasing their productivity, reducing waste to "crime" and paying police to harass people, etc), then the money per real asset can actually decrease from "just print money" and have the opposite effect in the long-term (and if these types of things are constantly being funded, then now is the "long term" from earlier investments anyways).
Honestly haven't notice a huge change in my rate of peeing. But I also had a history of accidentally binge drinking water and then desperately needing to pee every 5-30minutes for the next two hours before HRT.
