A possible option working within existing systems would be:

Parental leave: you get pop sustain rate (2.1?) parental leaves banked. You use 1 leave for every child you have and bank is allowed negative with no penalty. At 45 or so you get to use your bank without being a parent.

Something like 95% of people become parents.

Flex time/time-bank + home/hybrid office fix most other issues in office jobs.

Trump couldn’t dodge a shoe

It’s called critical support numbnuts.

Why doesn’t Cuba just build a canal through Panama?

These ones are bad

That’s a minor sound when I do it if I understand correctly. Audible but light. I can flex the muscles in my jaw/tongue as one would to attempt to pop ears, but pushing out from the back of the mouth and pulling my jaw backwards. I think it slightly restricts blood flow and makes it turbulent past the ear. Sounds like pulsar tinnitus (probably not relatable) but constant as long as I hold it.

So when it comes to the concept of the science on matter progressing, you’re anti that.

It’s clear the trump admin doesn’t care for anything other than political/popular “wins”(and hurting people/making money), especially after failing to meet their objectives. I’m sure he would talk it up but it would only justify the actions they will take anyways.

Idk, seems like a win-win

Is it wrong to want to choose my friends?

No, it is fine and good. You get to pick friends, that’s the point. Obviously this has some fluctuation, but they should overall be a positive value in your life.

How do you balance doing what makes you happy with maintaining friendships, especially if your happiness and your current friend group don’t line up?

Do what you like and make friends who do that too. Your friends should be people you have fun hanging out with. If the activity is a prerequisite then that’s that.

Any thoughts, advice, or personal experiences would be really helpful.

I do rock climbing, met several fun people at the gym, we climb together now. Good friends. Also took a dance class, meet a couple friends there. I do what I’m interested in and those interests being friends and connections. You can always fall back on the interests/hobbies for activities.

No reason to maintain a friendship simply because of the label/category of “friend” because that’s not really a meaningful relationship.

I’ve changed my mind, I’m ok with kink shaming in some cases

Windows is already occupying your hardware and network with “telemetry”. I would be surprised if telemetry overhead alone was all that was needed to burden modern hardware and yet when i boot into windows those fans never shut up.

DDG performance has dropped for me. I use a mix of their app and Firefox loaded with a searxng.

Works like old Google, No ads, tends to reduce SEO sloop that DDG is susceptible to.

Saaame. I feel like my 20’s were my 40’s and my 30’s are healing my inner 20yo but in a less caustic way.
