I used to leave aspirin on the canker, that burned it away.

make more foam when you brush

I always buy a specific brand toothpaste (turns out it is SLS free) but broke from my routine and bought crest or colgate or something. I use a small amount but I have to empty my mouth of foam midway through brushing. I hate it. Gross.

I also have a canker sore but have been brushing my teeth more often (with the crest) thinking it would help. I guess not.

I have another toothpaste (clinipro) which is not foamy enough, I always feel like I'm running out of toothpaste as I'm brushing.

Ghengis Khan is estimated to have been responsible for killing 10% of the world population, which would be more than the entire population of Europe today.

The population of europe today is more than 750 million so that can't be right.

There are a lot of reasons why Apple would back out. I wish we had more info.

Dennis Villeneuve is currently untouchable in the same way that Christoper Nolan was a few years ago. For whatever reason I meshed with Nolan's work at the time but I have been completely disenchanted by Villeneuve since Blade Runner.

SCI

I looked this up because it's new to me. AGI is what you think it is, and superintelligent collective intelligence is a collection that can perform tasks. Instead of 1 LLM or 1 AGI doing all the work, you have a team of agents and humans who can talk to each other. AGI seems like far off space tech and SCI is more like a next gen pursuit.

The comic makes it seem more fun than it is

Are a lot of humans like this?

Attractive people get more opportunities in life, it's baked into our brains. I prefer looking at attractive people. Music is something we hear, but with digital and social media it's as much seen as it is heard. More artists are coming up through tik tok now than the radio. This relationship shows that being attractive will improve a persons odds of being successful in music. Maybe if personality can shine through in those videos it can overtake appearance.

I like Huberman but he's too dunked into social media and I have no interest in supplement health. He often talks like someone who spends too much time on twitter. But he's got some solid guests and great topics that often compliment what I do with my therapist.

I'd hate for people to pick up on this thread and immediately say everything he does is useless or misinformed. I don't listen to everything he does because they are long podcasts, and I don't like podcasts in general, but people here can be helped by listening to some of it. Depression, menopause, emotional intelligence, motivation, sleep - well informed guests and Huberman leaves them to do most of the talking.

Definitely not a clown though. That's a bad take.

That's the conversation I was having with my therapist this week. I don't know. I've always massively struggled with this. Thinking about it sends me into a spiral.

As of now the plan is to look for other opportunities in industry. Some training is fine but I would like to avoid loans. I don't have anything specific yet, but public sector is likely part of it. I'm less motivated to help people as I am to make certain people miserable. Countries have started to track job quality ("job quality"), it's data worth looking at.

Depending on how that goes I have other thoughts but nothing that is sucking me in. Maybe I'll give up entirely and become a vagrant. I also have a viable non-expiring business idea that would de-employ a certain group of people I don't like. I'm not ready for either of those yet.

In the meantime I have a bucket list of things that I'm working through. It helps me feel like my life has forward momentum despite what's happening with my career (it's also opening up new doors I didn't see before, eg acting). Between that and therapy my job feels often feels like something I'll deal with later.

It just makes me realize how much I hate what I do for a living.

That's not the question. Do you think music nowadays puts more emphasis on the appearance of the artist than before? Idk what it is but I find reactions like this annoying. Like OP makes a good point and then we have to hear a lot of 'well, actually' bs.

either as a savoury appetizer or as a dessert (dipped in honey and poppy seeds).

Now I want to try one but only in that context.

I found that our cat seemed more calm or at ease after she was spayed. I'm not a cat psychologist. From what I observed it seemed better for the cat to be spayed. She had also shown signs of the frisky behaviour. I'd be curious to know from people who didn't spay their cats if that behaviour mellowed out, and how quickly.

I'm big into woodworking and routinely stress my joints (it's all handtools). How bad is this?

I get sharp knee pain from time to time and it's from a tight IT band. Stretching with a roller (the pain) makes it go away immediately. I've had it since I was a young person.

I haven't noticed any of this yet. The only thing I notice so far about getting older is that there is no chance in hell I'm jumping down a flight of stairs.
