Boisterous [he/him]

In Canada we have the same issue with the CBC.

The CBC also deserves criticism especially for its coverage of Israel, but the majority of the criticism comes from the right wing about CBC’s “bias”.

Now the CBC is biased, it is a liberal institution that ultimately works to reinforce the state, but that’s not the claim from the right wing. The claim from the right wing is that the CBC is a left wing institution that cannot be trusted.

With those people and criticisms, this is absolutely a move to erode trust in the public broadcaster, dismantle it, and allow fully privatised media like the USA. People like Rupert Murdoch and other billionaires in media absolutely want this. They want the mainstream right wing propaganda outlets to be the “default” (SKY news, etc in the UK) and smaller, hard right outlets to be the alternative.

The UK is facing privatisation of the NHS and multiple other institutions right now, you should expect that they’re working to privatise the BBC. For all the BBCs faults, public broadcasters are absolutely a force for (not good maybe) moderation in media. They should continue to exist, and they should be improved to further moderate/improve all media.

Allow me to preface this by saying that I swear this will tie into your point and is not a classic “but what about men” post.

I’m also a guy and I’ve had lots of older men and women express surprise that I can do basic chores like laundry. It’s always presented to me as praise, but I find that shit so insulting. The time in my life when I received these comments the most all i could think was “yeah I’ve been living on my own for 10 years. I’m pretty sure I know how to take care of myself.”

However there’s lots of guys who also like the assumption that they’re naturally incapable of housework, and from what I’ve seen they enjoy it because it makes it easier for them to offload that work onto the women in their lives, like girlfriends/wives/mothers/sisters. I assume the women who enjoy that people assume they’re incapable of doing things like it for a similar reason; because then people offer to do it for them.

Misogyny is weird and it really pushes conformity in both men and women.

I jumped ship to e/OS here in Canada a couple months ago. Had to order the phone specifically and install e/OS since it only came with Android internationally. It’s honestly been pretty easy so far. I know e/OS is kind just a degooglefied version of Android but it has professional developers behind it so we’ll see where it goes.

Fibre (non digestible plant material) will help you feel fuller and is very healthy, it helps keep your gut microbiome healthy and your digestive tract clean and regular.

Simply eating less meat, no there’s no downsides. However if you start transitioning towards vegetarianism there are a few things you need to be aware of:

1. You will have to supplement vitamin B12. Eggs are an ok source but you won’t be able to fulfill your body’s need with eggs alone (you’d have to eat around 8 DAILY). You can take it as a supplement but I personally buy B12 fortified nutritional yeast (read the packaging carefully, not all nutritional yeast is B12 fortified). I add it to my eggs on days when I eat eggs, otherwise I add it to my protein during meal prep (lentils, tofu, etc).
2. You’ll need to watch your protein intake a bit more. The only complete vegetarian/vegan proteins are soy and quinoa. Anything else and just make sure you eat it alongside a whole grain (wheat, rice, etc). That will round out you protein intake.
3. You need to mix chia seeds in occasionally. I forget why but I add them to my sweet oatmeal. There’s some sort of minor nutritional need that they fulfill and there is an alternative that I can’t remember off the top of my head.

You’re still eating meat so I assume veganism isn’t something you’re considering. If you do there’s a lot more planning involved in your meals and I’m not familiar with all of it since I’m only vegetarian.

My last piece of advice is if you’re keeping meat in your diet, buy organs if you can stomach them (and it is easier in stews). They’re cheaper and more nutrient dense.

This article is from 2016 btw. Is this a 10 year anniversary of the article?

I enjoy aspects of my job:

• I’m a public servant and I do think I give value to the people I serve.
• my job is complicated. I’ve only been here for just over a year but I’m involved in training people (we’ve been hiring a lot recently)
• somedays I like to get away from my family for a few hours, somedays I don’t.
• I’m not micromanaged. We have specific targets to hit but no one yells at me for taking a longer break or harasses me for being a couple minutes late to work. This also motivates me to stay a few minutes late somedays to make it up (shocker who would have guessed that it improves morale).
• I’m unionized, with sick time, vacation, and benefits. Plus another guaranteed raise next year.
• I get 1 paid EDO every 2 weeks and recently was approved to work from home 4 days every 2 weeks.

These are all great! However there’s aspects I don’t like :

• I don’t like the rigidity of schedule. Having to wake up every day at the same time to work for 8 hours.
• I have to drive in and I resent that. That also means dealing with parking.
• there’s plenty of small things I don’t like. Also our workloads are insane right now and we’re doing a lot of coverage of coworkers.
• previously I was in health care and direct patient care and I miss that.

I try to enjoy the good things and quiet down the bad with any job. Don’t ever mute the bad completely though, it’ll let you know when it’s time to leave.

Put some respect on Larry’s name! He’s been through like 8 prime ministers at this point.

Ah. Shit. So they’ll drive me away all on their own then. Wonderful.

I’m out of the loop on Bitwarden. What happened there?
