<p>Elon's purchase of Twitter (now X) opened the door for conservative view points to be heard online.  Prior to that, all other major platforms were censoring conservative views (with wide spread company leadership claiming due to pressure from Biden administration).<p>I regularly use X.  I get blasted with political posts from both sides constantly on it.</p>

<p>Elon put everything he had into spacex and tesla.  Against all odds, both worked out.  He's now betting tesla on optimus.  People are willing to believe him given his extremely successful track record of beating the odds.  Is it guaranteed?  No.  If it was guaranteed it wouldnt be an investment.  You take on risk for the chance at a reward.  Calling it hopium is ridiculous--if there's anyone on the planet that has a track record of pulling off the near impossible its Elon.</p>

<p>The biggest trap parents fall into is they buy devices assuming there will be ways to enforce parental controls on them.  The reality is it's impossible to do on many devices, and extremely difficult to get right on the remaining ones.  Many of the platforms offering "parental controls" just do lip service and provide a false sense of security.</p>

<p>Dry eye is a major issue for people who stare at screens.  You most likely aren't blinking enough, which causes your eyes to dry out.<p>Quoting a previous comment of mine (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42796950#42797424">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42796950#42797424</a>)<p>> A big thing not often spoken about with eye strain is dry eye caused by the lack of blinking due to focusing on screens too close to our face. This is an evolutionary phenomenon--close dangers cause extreme focus without blinking. Extreme focus on close items reduces our blinks.
Our eye lids have glands in them that release oils on your eye with each blink. These oils help prevent the watery part of your tears from evaporating. When it evaporates your eyes dry out causing discomfort and potentially pain.<p>> If you don't blink enough, the oil doesnt get on your eyes and eventually, in extreme cases, the glands can even die. A lack of oil in tears can cause extreme eye fatigue and even pain.<p>> This is why dry eyes is on the rise. Remember to blink!<p>> I actually built a little web app to count my blinks.

<p>> How Americans are allowing this circus to go on is completely beyond me. The country is a laughing stock.<p>Most European countries have had significant shifts to the right in recent elections.  Many European leaders have acknowledged Trump was right regarding a lot of things in his first term, and that Europe would have been better off had they listened to him.<p>The laughing stock on the world's stage is far left politics.  Their foothold on Western society has crumbled, and wide scale incompetance and corruption has been exposed.  If this wasn't the case, elections wouldn't be abandoning leftist policies to move to the right.</p>

<p>> Anyone operating in good faith knows to curb spending, everything Musk has been saying won't make a dent until you get to DoD, Social Security, or health care<p>This isn't accurate.  Anyone who's managed a large and complex budget knows death by a thousand cuts is a very real thing.  Yes, there may be bigger opportunities in the larger pots of money, but to suggest saving a billion here or few million there isn't worth the time is simply wrong.<p>Simply having the finances be looked at will have an impact on behavior.  I see it in my own personal spending.  If I'm not watching it, I spend way more.  Now what happens if its not even my bank account the spending takes money out of and no one is paying attention?  And then it goes on like this for decades?<p>> And of course, any savings are going to be totally swamped by big tax cuts for the billionaire class.<p>Aside from 2020, collected tax revenues did not drop under Trump in his first term, even after 2017 tax cuts.  The one exception was for 2020 when the economy ground to a halt due to covid and gdp shrunk by a few %.<p>The point is, the problem is not that the government needs more money.  The government needs pressure to be more effecient with the money it has.  Thats the root of the issue that needs solved.  Until that is solved, increasing tax revenue (which may not even be needed) won't make any difference whatsoever.</p>

<p>I'm not aware of any triggers to cause subconscious blinking.  That'd be fantastic if there was an option though.<p>The web app can trigger a notification if your blinks / minute drop too low.  Only challenge is modern browsers throttle websites that aren't visible, so the blink counting gets messed up.</p>

<p>Hot wash clothes don't maintain the heat long enough to release the oils.  Decent eye compresses are $20.  Here's a decent one.  Certainly others work too.<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bruder-Activated-Recommended-Professional/dp/B01N303YPU" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Bruder-Activated-Recommended-Professi...</a><p>I got a fancier one from Tear Restore that has little cut outs, so I can see while using it (instead of keeping eyes closed).  It may not work quite as good as the bruder, but it lets me get things done while using it.</p>

<p>There's a good chance its due to dry eye.  If so, you need to blink more.  Get an eye compress (heat it up in microwave, toss on eyes for 10 minutes).  That can help release oils from glands onto your eyes.  Artificial tears can help with comfort but wont solve the underlying problem--we don't blink (enough) when we focus on screens that are close to our face.</p>
