I have the kind of super long and thick hair that gets attention. Most of the compliments I like. I did after all use a lot of effort and time growing and taking care of it.

Once, at work, I got approached by a guy with a fetish for long, reddish hair. He proceeded to tell me how great of a boyfriend he'd be, how he'd wash and brush and take such good care of my hair. I was disgusted. And that disgust got associated with my hair. It took a couple of days for that disgust to fade and during it I did not like my hair.

If that kind of shit happened often I'd totally see myself cutting the hair off.

And some automation I have no problems with. However, if corporations would rather use AI than hire creatives, the creatives will have to look for other work and likely won't have a space to express their creativity, not at work nor during leisure time (no time, exhaustion, etc.). Something should be done so it doesn't go there. Preemptively. Not after everything's gone to shit. I don't see the people defending AI from the copyright stuff even acknowledging the issue. Holding up the copyright card, currently, is the easiest way to try an avoid this happening.

The reality is that people hate the corporations using creative peoples works to try and make their jobs basically obsolete and they grab onto anything to fight against it, even if it's a bit of a stretch.

I'd hate a world lacking real human creativity.

You have to opt-out. I got an email from meta with a link to the form. Doesn't seem to matter really what you write. It got approved in less than a minute for me. I think they purposfully made it look like it's more work than it's worth.

The period will eventually push through.

Tho I'd say the main reason all women of the world don't use it is because birth control has side effects that can be very severe. Think mood swing that leave the person suicidal. A lot of the less severe side effects might still not be worth it depending how bad the period would be. It might be painful, but just for 4-7 days, whereas birth control side effects are 24/7.

Another way to try and retrain your brain, that can be done whenever, is to set a 5 minute timer and go lay in your bed. Don't even close your eyes, just lay there. Then, when the alarm sounds, get up and continue your day. The purpose is to connect the sound of the alarm to the act of getting out of bed.

The US wasn't even the first to ban it. In 1937 Marijuana Tax act was passed that effectively prohobited it, but a full ban came in 1970. Countries that banned it before 1937 include, but are not limited to: Thailand, Irish free state, Romania, UK, Indonesia, Australia, Lebanon, Sudan, Italy, Panama, Canada, South Africa, Mexico, Jamaica, Greece, Singapore...

Kirjastojärjestelmissä (tai ainakin niissä joita itse on tullut käytettyä) henkilötiedot voi teoriassa löytää millä tahansa tiedolla, joka sinne on tallennettu. Mikään ei siis estä päivänä x asioimasta henkilökortilla ja päivänä y kirjastokortilla. Omatoimisia lainausautomaatteja ei yleensä opeteta hakemaan tietoja muulla kuin kirjastokortin numerolla, eli asioinnin pitää tapahtua palvelutiskillä, jos on vain henkilökortti mukana. Pelkällä esim. puhelinnumerolla emme tietenkään mitään lainaile, vaikka sillä asiakastiedot löytyisivätkin.
