I had issues with keeping a stable sleep schedule for years, but now I found a method that works for me: every day, set your alarm clock to the same time no matter what (in your case 5 AM) even on weekends. Then, try going to sleep so you always get full 8 hours, if you fuck up and go to sleep too late then tough shit - you'll feel tired tomorrow which will serve as a punishment that your brain will hopefully recognize.

They key is to be consistent and not sleep in.

As sad as this is gonna sound, I don't think it's time for change, at least not yet. It's only been 15 days, there are no organized country-wide movements with a clear game plan on how to liberate the country, a lot of people still don't truly grasp the severity of what's happening or just straight up cheering, and there are still a lot of questions related to these things hanging in the air.

If there was somehow an alternate reality where all of the people who oppose Trump magically got unified and organized, how many of them would stay safely at home watching from the sidelines instead of taking up arms and risking it all to topple an oppressive regime? If the regime gets toppled, what happens afterwards? Do Democrats (who are also being infiltrated by the Oligarchs) get put back into power again who would likely not have a mindset change? Maybe Liberal Democracies just aren't strong enough to prevent this and, if so, what's the alternative? How would it work and how would it be achieved?

The only things that realistically can be done for now are protests to spread awareness/oppose the regime, helping those who need it the most (the ones being persecuted like trans and immigrants), and just biting the time, thinking about solutions and hoping that more people are going to get the wake up call, be it from living conditions becoming worse. getting influenced by protests or just seeing the horror that current US administration is doing.

As the other commenter puts it, the post is just preaching to the choir so I figured I'd leave another perspective here, even if people here disagree I hope it at least inspires some thought. If it's considered gatekeeping or too negative, feel free to remove.

Exactly - if it's not a forever game, then why play it?

The head of state sharing power and responsibility with powerful unelected individual(s)? Where have I heard this before?

Speaking of stolen elections, I get that this isn't exactly evidence but this kind of a slip-up, intentional or otherwise is just weird if the election was truly 100% fair.

It's just a sad state of affairs. Digital video games are 1's and 0's that you can copy for basically free (with the only cost being hard drive space which is dirt cheap), so preservation shouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, we live in a world where logic sometimes has to take the backseat in order to maintain the current ideology, and video game preservation is one of those sacrifices.

For as much as they ask what a woman is to "own the overcomplicated transgender ideology", it's so funny that they seemingly don't know either

What I really find odd is the fact that Trump pledged to escalate the trade war between China and the US, yet the first thing he did was unban TikTok which is a Chinese-owned app that's using pretty much the most profitable business model there is.

A somewhat political fact, but one that made some of my friends dumbfounded:

When a bank issues a loan, it generates that money literally out of thin air and credits that money to the loan account rather than using deposits they already had. For example, if you want to borrow $100,000, the banker approves the loan and doesn't hand over cash or move existing money around - instead, they just go on their system and credit your account with the sum, that's it.

I'll get a bit conspiratorial here, but if what Bernie has said is to be trusted in his video about oligarchy, up on his youtube channel, then Democrats are largely owned/influenced by billionaires who would benefit from the increased Trump support. It would make sense to do this, but yeah it could also just be a blunder, given how Trump was the first one to propose the ban and Democrats could take it as "hey if we do this, we'll win the moderate right support again!!", though who knows.
