[cuunos]

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

[revvethasmythh]

the problem with sleeping a little, waking up early, and then napping afterward is that it’ll have you feeling like you’ve lived two distinct days in one

[revvethasmythh]

also somehow I’m more tired now than I was before, which seems cruel and unusual

[be-rich-buy-whatever-you-want]

Breaking News: Number of Notes ≠ Verification!

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

[aquilegiaformosa]

it’s becoming clearer that “being fat makes you diabetic” is actually misapplied observation and like, backwards cause and effect. insulin resistance is the main factor in type 2 diabetes. it was thought being fat made you insulin resistant. turns out it’s the other way round; insulin resistance causes the body to store fat at a greater rate. like yes, once the weight is gained it can then contribute more to resistance and things can snowball, but the initiating factor is not being fat.

[x-i-l-verify]

#type 1 is caused by no insulin production type 2 is caused by insulin resistance #and what causes the resistance or pancreatic damage is often uncertain #absolutely poor diet and lack of exercise can EXACERBATE EXISTING TYPE 2 DIABETES #but eating carbs and eating sugar will not give you diabetes; neither t1 or t2 #also keto is a fucking scam and a lie and puts people in the hospital on a regular basis

[the-perks-of-neurodivergency]

Also worth mentioning how hard it is to find good advice around healthy eating or exercise because almost all of the information available assumes your goal is to lose weight. So you'll find a hundred articles for how you can reduce calories, but nothing about how you can eat more vegetables while managing a budget and still feeling satiated. Because professionals assume your goal is to lose weight, not to feel better in your body. It's so incredibly frustrating.

Every time I see that "Don't give 100% at your job. Only give like 70% at most." I think about human service jobs.

I'm an early childhood educator. I work to keep ten two-year olds safe, healthy and psycho-emotionally enriched. I don't think only giving 70% of my effort to do that would be good for anyone.

My mom is recovering from a stroke at a rehabilitation center. I would really like the staff there to give their 100% caring for residents.

If you're in a cubicle, yeah sure. But if you're primary job responsibility is to keep vulnerable people alive and comfortable, then I don't think discount effort is a good idea.

Discuss?

[sigmaleph]

i would definitely prefer if the people taking care of someone vulnerable were giving less than their all most of the time. if they were already giving their all, there's nothing extra left to give if an emergency happens, someone has to call in sick and their tasks redistributed among everyone else, etc.

of course, this only works if the situation is such that people giving less than their all is enough in non-emergency situations to provide adequate care. which is not always true, but let's be clear that that is also a problem, because, like, emergencies do happen.

[loki-zen]

These places need to employ enough people that 70% is enough. Otherwise in a crisis or when someone is sick etc there won't be enough.

[thelothegreat]

Indeed. The concept of slack applies as always. If you "give 100%" all of the time, then by definition you have zero slack.

Poor is the person without Slack. Lack of Slack compounds and traps.

Slack means margin for error. You can relax.

Slack allows pursuing opportunities. You can explore. You can trade.

Slack prevents desperation. You can avoid bad trades and wait for better spots. You can be efficient.

Slack permits planning for the long term. You can invest.

Slack enables doing things for your own amusement. You can play games. You can have fun.

Slack enables doing the right thing. Stand by your friends. Reward the worthy. Punish the wicked. You can have a code.

Slack presents things as they are without concern for how things look or what others think. You can be honest.

You can do some of these things, and choose not to do others. Because you don’t have to.

Only with slack can one be a righteous dude.

Slack is life.

Giving 100% means you don't have Buffer Time.

In Star Trek Lower Decks episode, Temporal Edict, Buffer Time is the time added to the actual time to complete a task, to allow for margins of error, interruptions, breaks, training and anything else that might happen to take a person longer before being ready for the next task.

Buffer Time is banned in this episode due to the captain finding out about its existence, and absolute chaos ensues. People are tired, hungry, overworked, and cutting corners to make up time.

Eventually, the captain realizes that the buffer time is actually needed to keep the ship running smoothly because people are not machines and can not work at maximum efficiency all the time.

Buffer Time means if your mom falls out of bed, someone on staff has the time to interrupt their current task to go help her.
