I think the different instances help with that, as it encourages at least some interaction outside of your direct bubble...

That said when Hexbear re-enable federation I very much doubt "open discourse" or "actual conversation" will be the results

If it's everything you do, then no, I struggle a lot with work ethic/just being a lazy pos but even then I do have some things I enjoy and am willing to work for... I think finding more things I enjoy (cycling, dnd & programming mainly) has helped a lot with that, so I feel like just trying new things and being willing to "give up" on them fast if you don't like them may be good?

As a follow up, to get a third (and more) term would it be possible to run for vp and have a contract with someone who agrees to run for president then resign immediately after inauguration, or is there a law against that?

I think you're attributing more to organisation than is deserved

Wikipedia's job isn't free to be anti- or pro- anything, it's to show facts free from bias, even if you and most other readers agree with that bias.

Of course the facts can clearly show something to be almost objectively evil to anyone capable of understanding them, but it's not for Wikipedia to perform any analysis of those facts - saying "Israel has killed X civilians in attacks which many of their allies claimed were completely avoidable [citation]" in an article featured on the front page is perfectly valid, however a big banner with a Palestinian flag is not as it's a (fair) interpretation of the facts and not simply a presentation of them.

Eating sweet things triggers a subconscious urge in the brain to eat more regardless of whether what you're eating next is sweet in the hope that you get to eat more sugar for energy. This is seen with both sugar and sweeteners, so eating or drinking sweetened things make your appetite significantly bigger and so you eat more energy than you use and gain weight... Sounds like a mechanism for harm to occur to me, but whatever

I mean the cancer ones are, loads of things are a carcinogen in high enough quantities, but that doesn't mean they're healthy, eg. there's a fair few studies that show that overconsumption of sugar and the equivalent with sweeteners lead to similar levels of obesity

How about rather than being addicted to oversweetened trash and (likely unsuccessfully) trying to cheat the side effects people just eat a healthy diet?

Icy roads are generally ok if you have a front or 4 wheel drive and you know they're icy so are on high alert and ready to deal with other motorists doing reckless shit which is 99% of the issues you'll face (like driving their rear wheel drive car round a corner up a hill, then spinning out as they accelerated too hard and ending up sliding back down the road towards you, which happened to me but as I was driving reasonably I just pulled over to the side)

What you've gotta watch out for is wet leaves though... Sounds innocent enough but in the wrong conditions they're as slippy as if not more than ice and because usually they're fine your brain just dismisses them until the day you slide/spin on them

Growing up I swear we had Master => Mr and Miss => Mrs though... I could be wrong though

This morning the sun rose at 6:48. This afternoon it will set at 16:38.

Few people who work 9-5 are going to benefit from it being light at around 6:30 any day of the week (7:30 is still enough for a morning run), yet on the weekends the extra hour to make it light until 19:00 will be so much more valuable for meeting with friends or going out with family etc.

Tell me you're either not Irish or a teenager without telling be you're a not Irish or a teenager.

Very few people who lived through the IRA of the 70s to 00s would be saying "BuT tHeY wErE tHe GoOd GuYs 100 YeArS aGo" - to most people the Provisional IRA are the IRA because the original IRA is a thing of history books these days.

As for the loyalist paramilitaries, they were terrorists too. Just because they were doesn't mean the IRA weren't.
