Much more likely to be because their wages will be less artificially inflated once the number of doctors increases. Its the same in Canada. We limit the number of seats, rather than admitting all those who qualify to be doctors, and we have need for.
Gotta love bringing everything into the market…
So the real news is someone thinks they have discovered how to extract rent from you taking photos?
This is the real answer. When we are stressed, depressed, anxious, and feeling hopeless, we can either turn inwards and retreat from society, or we can lean into our friends, family, and community.
If you have no community, now is the time to build it. A lot of liberals will be desperate, and that means it’s a great time to shake off the lies of individualism (we are all individuals part of a community) and develop the truth of community. Otherwise this cycle will continue the way it always has.
You mean when the Soviets wanted to put missiles close to the USA to stop the American Invasions of Cuba that kept failing, and let the Americans know what it felt like to have nukes pointed their way, and the Americans have been butt hurt ever since?
You can easily fascinate a woman with cheese
Probably one of the many other fascists
Iran absolutely has a right to defend itself from the Imperial powers and their warmongering.
But, will the US get involved so that it can finally attack Iran like they’ve wanted to for years? I mean, Israel initiated and Iran fired missiles back as a response and western media predictably wrote about it as if Iran attacked Israel.
Probably their best bet is a military alliance as a deterrent, but we all know the US doesn’t back down from any opportunity to kill, dismember, steal, and colonize, no matter the cost.
Strength training should be kept simple (I’m a former personal trainer and a current strongman competitor).
For health 2x per week full body is plenty For strength/size/performance 3-6x (with 4x being the best for most of the time) is ideal.
Ideally compound movements (movements using multiple muscle groups) should be the foundation of your training, and should come first in a session as they are often heavier/more complex. Examples are squats/leg press, Bench/dumbbell bench/chest press, Overhead/shoulder press, deadlift/Romanian deadlift, barbell row/seated row.
If you are making your own “program”/ doing your own thing, first make sure it’s enjoyable, then make sure you either add reps(hard), sets (hard), or weight (easier at first) over time (daily, weekly, monthly, or whatever feels sustainable) only switching out movements when they aren’t progressing/hurt/are boring for similar ones (e.g. replace leg press with hack squat).
And for a rule of thumb, choose exercises such that at least once a week (usually twice is better) you are doing something from each of these categories:
If you are new, 4 tough sets (not dying, but you have to put in effort) per week in each of these categories is plenty.
Rare exercises are usually either pointless, very niche, or should be viewed as a fun movement or warm-up (like dumbbell snatches).
You can use an app like Macrofactor to track food, but honestly if you track your calories over a week using a spreadsheet that might be enough for most people. Better for most would be eat more sources of protein (meat, tofu, protein powder, etc) and track your body weight every day. If you want to be more muscular, your body weight should at least stay the same, or go up slowly overtime (maybe around 1% per month), and if you want to reduce body fat your body weight should go down no more than 1% per week. These recommendations are in the context of strength training.
Eating an abundance of plant based foods ( like fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains) is a great idea. Definitely not in the form of like meat substitutes. The bigger variety the better, there are no “super foods”. But I grow something called Cape Ground Cherries. They are a weird little fruit that grow in husks, and tast like a sweeter, more fruit like tomato (I live in a temperate zone with a shortish growing season, 130-140 days, and hot summer’s).
I think that covers everything as generally as I can.
Also ADHD, and I tried your method. Except it was with World of Warcraft. Long story short, I woke up in the middle of the test having finished a sentence related to material elasticity with something like “you have to heal the…” Scrawled down the side of the margins where the end of the sentence should have been.
Not recommended
I do something similar. But I also have a huge master list organized by category (for chores it’s rooms based) and frequency (daily, monthly, etc) with a check box next to each thing.
I have it posted up on a wall where I can’t help but see it, and next to it is a whiteboard calendar where I schedule all of these tasks. You could always try something like this (I know it’s borderline insane but ADHD gonna ADHD) or make it your own.
The key though is to make it iterative. Pay attention to what works (for example with chores, is sweeping daily too often? Then change it. Same goes for studying) and modify it on set intervals (every 2 weeks, month, whatever).
It gives a visual representation of what needs to be done, when, and provides accountability because you can see what you did/didn’t do, and so can anyone else who has access to it.
It took me probably 6 hours to initially set it up, but it’s been huge for me.
Alternatively (or as part of some organizational strategy), focus your effort on tasks you do like and subjects you do like, while doing enough to just get by on everything else. Breaks are important, but try not to interrupt any states of flow you get into.
Bonus: Post Secondary School is hard! Be gentle with yourself. And remember it is rarely a life or death situation. Follow your syllabus, it’s there to guide you, and talk to your instructor and classmates when you can. There will never (unless you have insane physics professors like did) be new material on a test. It’s always something you have covered. It may not be a specific question/problem/topic you have solved/written about, but it will use all the same skills and knowledge you’ve developed. Plus, a lot of questions come from fairly standard question banks with digital learning software becoming nearly ubiquitous.
Basically the article says they don’t pay taxes, don’t have full protection under the US Constitution, have to obey US laws and are subject to the powers of the US Congress and President, have no voting rights, are subject to the draft, considered US citizens, etc.
So that basically sounds like a colony.
So Puerto Rico is just another US colony then?
That’s what was happening before, when they were “allowed”.
Sure there will be. Elections, especially the carefully controlled elections in the usa, are a great method of social control. If people are allowed to vote for someone it maintains the veneer of democracy, and reduces civil unrest.
Imagine if the party funded by billionaires didn’t let you vote at all. It would be very clear that you live under a dictatorship of the wealthy owner class. But if instead you can vote for 2 candidates, both funded by the owner class, you “have a choice” and it appears democratic.
As well, with such a stranglehold on information/media, the same donors can accept third parties as they will never get enough votes for it to change the power structure. But what happens if a third party has a bit too much support? Well you can’t have that, so the parties you fund work to get them taken off the ballot based on some law that is intended to maintain the status quo. That way you maintain “legitimacy” in the eyes of the people, remove the threat, and continue controlling the population for your own benefit.
There’s a good chance it will be used for the declaration of a special military operation. And the Americans will finally get to invade Iran.
It is if you finesse it enough
Even if it’s true that people are stupid (which is also a narrative pushed which ensures apathy) that is completely irrelevant. Why is it that these apparently stupid people believe the “wrong thing”? Well, it’s the same as always. The capitalists are better organized than us, and those supporting them know of no other alternatives. So for a successful revolution the oppressed class needs to get better organized (which IS happening, albeit slowly).
If YOU feel apathetic, please find a socialist/communist/radical left party/group and join it. It can help immensely
Lol I have so many conversations like this. Someone was saying a bunch of people got laid off at their job during covid and they almost lost their house. I said something like “it’s a shame that they didn’t just temporarily decrease everyone’s hours so you all still had work. I mean, the work was going to come back eventually”.
And they of course agreed
I think many will obey the decision, just not the USA, Canada, terf island, the E.U., you know the usual culprits for not following international law.
Physicists abhor a black box. So long as it is an option, most will choose not to use AI to any great extent, and will chastise those who do.
