    Yep. Voting for the lesser evil is meant to keep the window open. Allow valid elections to continue, allow advocacy to continue, and hopefully keep more people alive. It’s just buying time. The real work in such a dynamic is not in the election booth, it’s on the streets and in smaller offices.

    If anything, this election shows that the meme isn’t happening the way it’s shown. The Dems moved more right than ever, and voters did not show up for them.

    Call it what you want, I’ll take good that’s available when great isn’t a viable option. For one example it would mean a chance at rebalancing the courts, but now they’ll be steamrolled and conservative for decades. RIP roe v wade

    Actual augments like this will never work if they phone home to do their job. There could be massive benefits to people with a huge variety of conditions and interests, but if it’s corpo ware and isn’t hyper protected by medical review, and long term support, it’s junk






  • 3 is the way.

    Have your goals. Feel your feelings. But don’t expect to jump to the other side of the ocean. Set small goals and revel in your daily/weekly wins.

    For example, I wanted to eat better and save money, when I was young and had no money. It was harder then, but I tallied up all the fast food money I was spending, and realized if I didnt buy fastfood I could afford more and better groceries including more fresh vegetables and meats. And STILL saved some money.

    So I watched my grocery bill and stopped eating fast food, ended up with some extra cash each month, and even lost a few pounds.

    This is a small thing, but I felt more in control of my life, and it made me happy.

    Modern banking apps have search features to make tallying your spending easy
