I have a couple of thoughts about social justice controversies from these last years.

I think it's hard to have a good opinion about these events for several reasons.

One reason is that finding good information in 2019 is very hard.

Revenue based sites (thus unneutral) dominate the search results. You search about something and you find thousands of sites basically saying the same thing (because they copy each other).

That's why the existence of a free and open search engine is so important, so it's easier to find neutral hence good information on which to base your opinions, but they are prohibitively big for small groups to build.

Another reason is that controversies generate shock and shock curtails rational thinking. Maybe that's how the primitive brain works?

I'm not much of a scholar to feel confident to say that, but it's so recurrent that it's not too much of a wild guess.

When a controversy happens, a natural reaction is to pick a side. This means that:
a) we assume that there are only 2 sides, and
b) we must pick one of them

So, maybe the human is a bad politician by nature?

Also, because of the shock controversies generate, peaceful dialogue is very rare.

I have yet to see peaceful dialogue online about what patriarchy means to feminists and a lot of other terms they use.

I don't care much about feminists that vandalize or interrupt talks (yelling over someone else is abuse in my opinion).

But for the rest of them, I think discussing their ideas would be good.

I say this because most feminist discourse I see online is not open. Or maybe there are such instances but the web is so big that it's hard to find such instances.

I think some part of the modern feminist doctrine is bullshit, and some part is true.

I for one hate when some men I know in life expect their wives to be their cooks+cleaners (unless they want to do that, willingly). Personally, I'd encourage my wife to get a job (rightfully so, not just to meet some minority quota in some company).

I don't mind either calling a trans person the pronoun she wants.

But other ideas are awful, like the idea that meritocracy is patriarchy, so you need to force minorities to meet a proportionate quota. That's terrible reasoning.

Or the excessive self appreciation culture, like saying to yourself "you are pretty, you are beautiful, you are perfect". I think that grows arrogance and black-or-white thinking.

And some other ideas as well.

I guess the same you can say about any doctrine with different degrees. Some part is bullshit, some part isn't.

Some right wing people hate everyone who isn't white by default, but some want to have more immigration control.

I sure don't like the experiment of separating children from families like the current us govt did, but I wouldn't be happy either to know that by '99 50% of gangs members in the us were hispanic.

With this, I'm not going to say "embrace everyone's ideas" like an idiot. I hate when people do that. It's a stupid and weak reaction to radicalism.

In fact I think the way you fight radicalism and bad doctrines is that you listen to them and maintain good dialogue and counterargue in a respectful but insightful manner.

Making snide remarks, insulting or trolling won't change anyone's mind. That is just throwing fire to the fire.

In fact, when someone gets harassed because of something they believe in, usually it results in even more adherence to their beliefs, because of the usual assumption that success or goodness is full of strife.

So by telling a "sjw" or kkk member that they are idiots over twitter, you are in fact making them stronger believers in their doctrine.

Think of Daryl Davis, a black guy that made 200 members leave the kkk. How? He didn't tell them they were assholes, he somehow made friends with them.

I feel bad now because I've been trolling new devrant users a lot because of how they worsen the quality of the site, but maybe I should tell them that they are ruining the site somehow in a nice way and maybe they'll listen? I dunno...

when CTO says we need to start writing exactly how long we worked on specific project and explain what exactly we did in that time.

I don't wanna keep track of my every minute spent..

I did not sign up for this sh!t...

I have been struggling with managing and keeping track of config secrets and keys. I know that keeping secrets in code is bad karma, but managing them with environment variables becomes cumbersome with multiple microservices running on multiple servers. To worsen this, add humans and access levels.

Whenever I Google, I feel like I am the only one who has this problem. Do you guys sometimes feel like this?

If you have any solutions, hacks or services that you use, please recommend.

So my stomach got fucked up after a mix of junk food, drinks and shit. Even after vomiting continued to burn and hurt. Googled and found out banana's are usually good for acidic and fucked up stomachs.
Now I'm filling my face with bananas
In hopes I'm not one of the one percent of people that acidic refluxes worsen with banana.

what the f....

So I'm making some changes to my setup. I'm relieving my current router from its duties and retiring it as a mini PC for my desktop setup. And I got my hands on a Dell Optiplex that will become my new router.

Now, firstly, the Optiplex came w/o a wifi antenna. I booted it up into a LinuxMint install USB for the first time and didn't expect much from it, but to my surprise, I got a popup: "There are wifi networks available". At that spot there was also my Fenvi PCI wifi card's antenna of my current (soon-to-be-previous) PC and it was barely seeing any wifi, and there came Optiplex with NO antenna attached to it and it managed to maintain stronger and more stable signal. wtf....

Alright, it's Fenvi, it's chinese -- there's probably not much I should expect from it.

Then I hooked it up right next to my current router with an external USB wifi adapter having 4x6dBi antennas on it, serving as my current wifi AP. Trying out hostapd configs, searching for the right channels,... should I test it? Naah, it still doesn't have an antenna - it won't reach my laptop. Meeh, for shits and giggles! `hostapd -d /etc/hostapd/hostapd_custom.conf`, on my lappy `nmcli d wifi rescan; sleep 5; nmcli d wifi` and... wtf... To my surprise, the AP was there! A thick wall away, no antenna whatsoever, and I still could connect to that Optiplex AP and post this rant!

What magic is this??? I'm now a bit concerned about ordering an antenna for it - I'm worried it could either worsen the signal or make it so strong that it'll fry my brains overnight.

CBD oil has been used for years by individuals, who want to reduce their dependence on drugs. It was only recently that CBD was studied for possible pain relief by medical professionals. It is a highly important part of any healthy diet, because it is an important natural compound in plants.

Since the ancient Chinese first use marijuana as a medicinal treatment in 3000 BC, various cultures have used its healing properties, for a variety of medical conditions. However, in modern society, people often rely on pharmaceutical drugs to deal with their pain. One of the common problems with painkillers is that they can cause a number of side effects that can worsen your health. These side effects include depression, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, suicidal thoughts and more. Therefore, people have been turning towards natural remedies for their pain relief.

CBD oil has been shown to be very effective at reducing your pain, especially if you are taking narcotic painkillers. It is believed to stop or prevent the onset of physical discomfort, which means it does not provide temporary relief. As long as you are using it regularly, it can effectively help you overcome your pain.

In recent studies, medical professionals have suggested that the effectiveness of CBD was increased when it was combined with other herbs, such as ginger and eucalyptus. The main reason for this is that these two herbs have a great deal of medicinal qualities. Many people choose to combine these two natural ingredients to help reduce the amount of chemicals in their body, which will lead to a reduction in pain. By taking these products together, you will feel a reduction in pain faster than ever before.

You need to take care when using these products, however, as it is important to make sure that you do not take more than one product at a time. Taking too much of a product can actually create a higher chance of adverse reactions.

People have discovered that by taking CBD oil, they can relieve their pain, without relying on pharmaceutical drugs. If you have been using painkillers for a long period of time, try using a supplement to help you get the relief you are looking for.

Another great thing about CBD oil for pain relief is that it will help you maintain a healthy appetite. Studies have shown that when people eat foods high in CBD, such as hemp seeds and hemp oil, their bodies release natural hormones to help them fight off hunger.

Understanding Perimenopause and Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause are natural biological phases in every woman’s life, but they can bring about a range of physical, emotional, and mental changes. Here’s a closer look at each stage:

Perimenopause: This is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, typically beginning in a woman’s 40s, although it can start earlier. During perimenopause, the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen, leading to fluctuations in hormone levels. This phase can last anywhere from 4 to 10 years, and women may experience symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and changes in skin or hair.

Menopause: Menopause is officially diagnosed when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. This phase marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years and is associated with a significant decrease in estrogen production. Symptoms can include hot flashes, weight gain, vaginal dryness, low libido, fatigue, and changes in mood.

While these changes are natural, they can affect a woman’s quality of life. Fortunately, at Well Taken Care Of™, we are dedicated to helping women manage these transitions and improve their overall well-being.

How Well Taken Care Of™ Can Support You Through Perimenopause and Menopause
At Well Taken Care Of™, we take a holistic approach to women’s health, providing support through nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and functional medicine. Our goal is to help you find balance during perimenopause and menopause and empower you to live a vibrant, healthy life.

1. Personalized Nutrition Plans
Hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause can lead to weight gain, fatigue, and other physical changes. Our nutritionists can help you create a balanced, sustainable diet that supports your body’s needs during this time. This may include:

Hormone-balancing foods: Certain foods can support hormonal balance and reduce symptoms like hot flashes. We’ll guide you on including nutrient-dense foods that promote estrogen production, such as flaxseeds, tofu, and leafy greens.
Anti-inflammatory diet: Inflammation can worsen symptoms of menopause, such as joint pain and mood swings. We’ll help you incorporate anti-inflammatory foods like berries, nuts, and fatty fish to reduce discomfort.
Blood sugar regulation: Many women experience blood sugar imbalances during menopause, leading to weight gain and fatigue. Our nutritionists will provide meal plans that keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day.
2. Functional Medicine Approach
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues. At Well Taken Care Of™, we use functional medicine to assess and address hormonal imbalances, digestive health, and inflammation—all of which can be exacerbated during perimenopause and menopause.

We offer personalized treatment plans that may include:

Hormone testing: We can test your hormone levels to understand your unique needs and help identify any imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms.
Herbal and supplement support: Based on your individual needs, we may recommend supplements such as magnesium, vitamin D, and phytoestrogens to help support hormone balance and reduce symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings.
Gut health support: Hormonal changes can impact gut health, leading to bloating and digestive discomfort. We provide dietary and supplement recommendations to improve digestion and support a healthy gut microbiome.
3. Lifestyle Coaching and Stress Management
Stress can exacerbate many symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, including anxiety, sleep disturbances, and hot flashes. Our health coaches can help you incorporate relaxation techniques, such as:

Mindfulness and meditation: These practices can reduce stress, improve sleep, and support emotional well-being during this transition.
Breathing exercises: Deep breathing exercises can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and anxiety.
