read a wild theory about peak oil leading to the isolationism of the states with a goal to be ejected from NATO, tank the US dollar, and other macroeconomic avenues i know nothing about.

trying to make sense of the world to navigate my place within it is hubris or insanity - possibly both

changing winter tires in both cars, buying new all-seasons for one of them, plus an oil change.
This wouldve ruined me financially 10 yrs ago. Even vehicle maintenance is a privilege and the winter tires allow me the privilege of cheaper car insurance.

privilege and luck to be moderately comfy.

i used to have this idea that things ever went sideways, we'd head up north (a la The Zombie Survival Guide by max brooks).

usa at the bottom,
russia at the top,
and a whole lotta ocean to the sides....

fail to plan, plan to fail-
but unsure what to plan for and the timeline to plan within

signal leak wasn't war plans:

it was bombing an apartment building in another country bc a guy's girlfriend lived there.

i find myself noticing our buildings as i drive around town:

gaza looked like this.
ukraine looked like this.

hubris

JYSK is danish.

buying at their canadian stores supports 🇨🇦 and 🇬🇱 (canada and greenland).

the crazy thing i'm learning about economics and recessions - austerity measures are a guaranteed failure.

the best way for 🇨🇦 to fight tariffs and the usa's hostility is to spend. our. money. --->> but spend it in canada and on trading partners outside of the usa.

will there be a loyalty test for american soldiers before action is taken against canada?

will they be ordered to engage greenland first, see if they're willing to attack allies before trying for the great lakes?

reason for detaining and deporting various marginalized communities is threefold:

1- acclimates the general population to it as both normal and an ever-present danger

2- removes potential dissidents from being a concern in future aggression against other countries

3- detention centres make $.

flashbacks to canadian history and social studies in grade school: i guess i need to brush up on my northwest passage knowledge to get the usa/ russia imperialism!

heard this today:
talent is just the rate at which you acquire a skill.

i always say the version my friend used:
Dumber people than me are doing this- why can't i?

Love both.

Balancing prep for US interference in Canada, watching NightCourt and The Rookie, planning long-term investment for retirement while also investigating countries we could relocate to that will remain autonomous between US/Russia irredentism.
Oh and i'm sober until May... 😰

Finally back to a plan for my meatsuit: 8 weeks of lifting with a meal plan of ~ 150g protein & 1800+ calories a day.
oh- plus an extra 700 calories a week for whatever (i'll be using this for ninja creamy ice cream recipes!!)

first time at the costco pharmacy- picking up Plan B, just in case it isn't accessible for some. no harm in checking!
...
mission accomplished (though if you're over 155 lbs you need 2!) the pharmacist was awesome- there's a limit of 1 for Plan B, but off-brand you can get more at one time.

What a nice exchange on reddit!
Also I just switched to buying my online grocery order from Food Basics (🇨🇦) and so far I'm really happy with the switch!

Health paper written and a science chapter read.

finally cleaned my closet (I'm already out, so no surprises there!) and massaged some clients.

I used to love outlining the tiny accomplishments I managed in a day, but now I think i just want to make a little noise online to prove i exist.
