If you’re curious about the history, public school lunches were federally funded and made free under FDR during WWII to combat malnourishment, especially for high schoolers who were getting drafted after turning 18.

It was so successful that the US continued the policy even after the war ended, and hence cafeterias became the default since they include a large kitchen that’s capable of producing high quality food at large quantities.

That is until Reagen, among a crap ton of other things, nuked lots of the socialist policies which included free school lunches.

Schools continued to produce lunch, but you had to pay.

40+ years of insane decline later, and public schools are so under funded that they can’t even afford to produce lunch in their cafeterias anymore. American consumerism shoved its way in, so now everything is prepackaged garbage made as cheaply as possible from the same conglomerates that make unhealthy trash that’s often banned by other countries due to health risks.

The final killing blow was when Michelle Obama failed to tackle this core issue in her student health campaign, and they forced public schools to ban essentially flavor as a concept (anything “high” in salt, spice, oil/fats, calories, etc).

Everything was switched over to “healthy” options which literally just meant low fat/zero calorie slop or sugar slop.

If you want a real kicker, the chocolate milk they served at my HS had 28g of sugar per serving lol. But don’t worry because the vending machines now only have baked potato chips and diet soda.

Charter and private schools aren’t really affected by this since they have alternative funding sources.

His announcement reminds me of the fake Hitler broadcast on Hogan’s Heroes where they proclaim Germany is winning rhe war but negotiations are happening lol.

If you mean inevitable due to lack of global action, then yeah because that’s how most models present eventual societal collapse.

If you mean because its too far gone, that’s not true. There’s still time to mitigate the issues we’ve created, but the effort required increases every year, and there’s not enough being done about it.

I read the title in the same voice as youtube’s “That’s how the law works.”

I seriously would not mind RCS if Google didn’t monopolize it.

I will be forever on MMS because I’ll never use Google’s crappy message app.

No one is sending anything substantial over SMS for me anyway, so it’s not an issue where I need an e2ee channel with someone who doesn’t have signal

Still got nothing on Moonshell 2

Why am I like this?

Procrastination

And how can I make it stop?

Any well known method that you can probably find on youtube, but the general idea is that you need to overcome the psychological barrier of just starting the task. How you do that is up to you.

Once you start, then you will naturally continue. And once you get in the habit of not dismissing tasks, then you will find it easier to do them from the beginning.

You know the funny thing is there’s actually a biblical calculation that puts the end of the world around 204X that several well known Christian Theoloegians calculated including Isaac Newton.

It seems odd to me that fanatics ignore this prediction and insist on accelerating the end times or claim that the rapture is tomorrow.

The other funny thing is all the insane level of violence and corruption that both Christian and Islamic eschatologies warn about in great detail.

If you’re familiar with either source, the irony is astounding. People read a big fat warning about the end times and then decided “We can accelerate this and make it into heaven by playing the explicitly evil guys in this big fat warning”.

I can link to a Research paper with that in the title therefore I am right

If it makes you feel better, Pakistan’s insanely corrupt utility companies run a scam tax for every kw you provide to the grid, so you only earn like 15% of the actual power’s worth, and only after you pay an exorbitant fee to install a reversible meter.

So now everyone skips the meter and has started installing tons of batteries to completely bypass the grid lol. Like every house and even villages are wired for solar, but the crappy utility companies still do rolling blackouts to pretend there’s a shortage of supply.

Even funnier, the batteries reach ROI in only 3 years, and they still fetch good money when you go to recycle them due to the precious metal value.

I think it was ~3k last time I checked on AP which listed it from several Iranian health orgs reporting both deaths and injuries.

The 30k that CBS pulled out of its ass was definitely fake though.

I have spent a great deal of time analyzing your feedback

Remember when a couple of critical CVEs went unnoticed and unpatched after disclosure because no one from Microsoft actually reads the insider hub lol.

Sideloading APKs is an easy vector but so is the Google Play Store. It’ll take scammers like 5 minutes to just perma move to GPlay shenanigans, and its already well known to have poor quality control and tons of malware available to download with the useless play protect logo.

This is just Google’s public justification for creating their walled garden. They already pulled this exact scam with Chinese OEMs which is how Huawei got banned, and others stopped selling in the US. They huffed up some story about CCP spyware and then mandated that GPlay be installed in full, otherwise face consequences from congress.

Even Samsung got pulled in and they essentially agreed to use GApps as the de facto communication suite for their phones in exchange for allowing Samsung to continue to use their Galaxy store.

They see stuff like AOSP as a threat because anyone can just fork the OS and make their own non google Android, and they don’t want any OEM to replace GPlay like what Motorola is attempting right now (hence the increased urgency to lock down Android).

Google’s monopoly in the mobile space revolves around every phone using GPlay, so they’ll do anything to maintain their control.

There’s defnitley some irony in NYT giving credibility feedback for another outlet haha

It was the only one that survived along with lmao

RIP roflcopter

BRICS replacing USD is like how we declare every year the year of the linux desktop lol.

When USD goes down, its gonna bring down the world with it lol.

How in the actual hell do you stage a mk82 slamming into the ground?

What did RT roll up to the Russian AirForce and ask them to fly all the way to Lebanon to drop the equivalent payload behind a staged reporter and hope he survives?

Still a better experience than reddit lol
