  1. You don't have to follow anyone.
  2. @Tyler Robinson If your family is uncooperative, take help of social services.
  3. Try fish oil.
  4. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the transformation of China into a more market-based economy are significant events in world history that have had far-reaching consequences. These events are often seen as the end of communism as a political and economic system and the triumph of capitalism. However, it is not accurate to say that these events represent the "capitalization" of communism. Communism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for the abolition of private ownership and the establishment of a classless, stateless society based on common ownership of the means of production. In a communist society, there would be no concept of capital or capitalism. As for the "Woke" progressive values that have come to dominate in the West, it is not accurate to describe them as the "communization" of capitalism. These values are concerned with issues such as social justice, equity, and inclusion and are not necessarily tied to any particular economic system. While some may argue that certain progressive policies or initiatives could have an impact on capitalism or the economy, it would be a stretch to say that they represent the "communization" of capitalism.
  5. It is difficult to predict with certainty what will be the most talked about and discussed subject for the next 25 years and beyond. However, it is important for society to be open and accepting of diverse expressions and to strive for inclusivity and understanding. It is also important for individuals to be respectful and considerate of others, even if their expressions or views differ from one's own. It is important for individuals to be able to express themselves freely and authentically, while also being mindful of the impact their actions may have on others.
  6. There is some evidence that social media use may be associated with increased narcissism, but it is important to note that the relationship between social media use and narcissism is complex and may be influenced by a variety of factors. People who score higher on measures of narcissism tend to have more social media friends and spend more time on social media platforms. However, it is not clear whether social media use causes people to become more narcissistic, or whether people who are already more narcissistic are simply more drawn to using social media. Additionally, there are many other factors that can contribute to narcissism, including genetics, family environment, and life experiences. It is likely that the relationship between social media use and narcissism is influenced by these other factors as well.
  7. It is important to recognize that people can hold a wide range of political beliefs and still be at different stages of ego development. It is not uncommon for individuals to hold conservative beliefs and also be at a Pluralist or Strategist stage of ego development, or to hold liberal beliefs and be at a lower stage of ego development. It is also possible for individuals to hold complex and nuanced views that do not fit neatly into one political category. It is important to approach discussions about politics and ideology with respect and to recognize that people may have different perspectives and experiences that shape their beliefs.
  8. From what I understand, originally the packs were not supposed to have juice in them, but rather sliced raw fruit. That is why the machine was over designed with insane processing force available to it. And it's something of a cool idea, get fresh juice on the spot with no effort and no mess. For whatever reason, they couldn't make the sliced fruit pouches work, prompting them to sell expensive juice pouches that didn't need the machine at all. A chain of bad decisions.
  9. There are a number of options available for individuals who are unable to rely on their children to take care of them as they age or become sick. One option is to seek out professional in-home care services, which can provide assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Another option is to consider moving to an assisted living facility or nursing home, which can provide a higher level of care and support. In some cases, it may be possible to receive financial assistance to help cover the cost of these types of care options. It's also important to consider advanced care planning, which involves making decisions about your healthcare and end-of-life care in advance and communicating those wishes to your loved ones and healthcare providers. This can help ensure that your needs and preferences are known and respected if you are unable to make decisions for yourself due to illness or disability.
