  • I swore by Asics for a decade, always fit great and I rarely needed a different insole for my semi flat feet. But then ~3 years ago, they changed something and all their shoes were like any other sneaker - not good enough.

    After trying a lot of different insoles, which at best kinda helped; I went the opposite way and started getting extra wide minimal/barefoot shoes. After 2 weeks of adjusting my foot pain went away.
    It seems having practically no support, makes you build up your arch muscles.

    If racing/anxious thoughts isn’t the cause, you may have great success with the military sleep method: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/military-sleep-method

    I was sure the version I’d read months ago, had you tense up the muscles before relaxing them section by section; but I could not immediately find any variabts which mentioned that part. I used to do the very lite version, counting my breaths. Worked pretty well, over the years - after getting my head sorted out first - I’ve built a habit of falling asleep in 5~15 mins. Used to often take an hour, occasionally 2~3.



  • Glaring example being healthcare. Per Capita the US spends way more than any other country, twice as much as the OECD average. Yet not everyone has access to proper healthcare, the and statistics don’t look great for mother mortality and screenings for preventative diseases…
    But you know, they’ll be damned if their moneys paid for someone undeserving (poor or person of color seems to be coinciding with who they think do not deserve healthcare), but wasting tons of money on bureaucracy and fat profit margins, that’s apparently a-okay.
