And, of course, they are turning this into a political case.

Because climate change has accelerated the process, and because regressives deny climate change, it became political.

The problem is not fast food prices, the problem is stagnated wages.

Oligarchs. Guillotines. That’s the solution.

Considering that in the US our oligarchs have stolen much of the wealth of the entire nation, a significant percentage of the population has a negative net worth. This is by design. They are essentially getting as close to indentured servitude as they can.

While most probably would be okay with hydrating more, do be careful:

1. The “eight glasses per day” thing was made up whole cloth
2. The advice I’ve heard is that for MOST people, drink when you are thirsty.

But if you’re trying to figure out what’s wrong because you feel a little bad, or have a headache, or are sleepy, or feel like you might be hungry but think you shouldn’t be, or any number of other situations - drinking a glass of water usually doesn’t hurt, and does sometimes turn out to have been the issue. So it’s rarely terrible advice.

(Unless you’re on dialysis like me and have fluid restrictions) :)

And if you always seem to have music stuck in your head, go research ADHD symptoms, as that is one of many. And if you DO have ADHD, things like ritalin can silence the music. (One of several things I still remember from my first ritalin)

Something like 20 years ago now, my pack-a-day wife decided to try a vaper. Not clouds-of-vape, just a pedestrian vaper.

She never went back to cigarettes. She decreased the nicotine and nowadays vapes maybe 2-3 times per day, I think her current level is 6… whatever units of nicotine, it’s not a lot.

I don’t care that she still vapes at that level. If there is anything bad, it’s not much at that rate, so screw it.

Hiccups? Try taking a moment to close your eyes, focus your attention to the sides of your neck, and remind yourself that you don’t have gills anymore. I read this a few years ago and it mostly works for me - about 80% of the time (not that I get hiccups often). I’ve spread it to others with about ⅔ success, ⅓ failiure.

I’ve read the theory that it’s our brain in a panic because our gills (that we haven’t had for millions of years) aren’t working, so reminding yourself they’re not there helps. At least sometimes, at least some poeple.
