I have full time work and good enough housing. Now what?
Minimum wage job with no health care and I have high health care costs so paying for my meds out of pocket sucks a lot.
What should I do now to improve my life?
Sorry about the question being super broad, but i'm not sure what to do from here. Save up money? Try to get a better job? Trade school? Investments? Dating? Etc
Unfortunately, from what i've seen, if the venue being seized has a lot of cigarettes, that would also maybe convince some homeless
expropriate some land
This happened vaguely during blm with a police station. Mobilize the homeless and convince them they can stay in a police station, which would benefit somehow or something... not sure.
A handful of homeless/very poor come out during protests already about housing rights or to increase welfare. At least 1 homeless guy i met goes out to every antimask protest. A lot of them go out to church services on sunday, even the church services that are not in a shelter.
Or if a riot has like the promise of seizing a target again, that's something. But i wouldnt recommend a riot.
Why does applying antiperspirant to my feet not reduce my foot's sweating?
I've only put antiperspirant on the bottom of my feet. It's made my skin dry, but not less sweaty?
I'm hoping it keeps me warmer by keeping my feet dry. Is there another cheap tactic that would work?
I spend too much time trying to figure out what exactly I am politically
It's not like what I am politically matters in any vaguely short term context. I'd unfortunately do much better if I spent more time working on my direct lib finances or other more self directed activities
Too much time mostly just thinking about it, but sometimes readings.
Mobilize the homeless
Speaking from experience here. They have enough time. Most of them are completely politically uninvolved, but the ones who do know about politics are very frequently conservative, so i'm not entirely sure how to go about this.
It would make a lot of sense for rightwingers to mobilize the homeless and it probably won't be as difficult considering homeless people get a huge amount of aid from churches.
CMV: If you don't have AC, you should try to live in basement units
Since basement units are the coldest, it won't be as needed. If it gets too cold, heaters are much easier to operate
It's harmful to do night shifts and (a few days later) day shifts right?
I've been having night shifts, and then a few days later day shifts. I've been pretty tired all the time and it feels harmful.
I think I should try to find job(s) that are either only day or only night?
I'm not sure how airflight attendants do it cause it kinda feels like i'm jet lagged when i have to try to move my sleep schedule around so much,
I don't have a kitchen sink, only a small bathroom sink. Any tips on how to wash dishes?

A lot of the dishes don't even fit in the sink.
In a socialist world, would jobs still have probation periods?
At least for me, finding work is hard and knowing i could be easily fired for the first 6 months is stressful.
Every Sikh shrine has a religiously sanctioned moral and humanitarian obligation to serve food
Every Sikh shrine has a religiously sanctioned moral and humanitarian obligation to serve and provide hospitality, provisions, nourishments and meals to any man, regardless of race, creed, religious profession, identification, or affiliation. At the Langar (the temple's community run free kitchen), food is served to all visitors regardless of faith, religion, or background. Only vegetarian food is served and people eat together as equals. The institution of the Sikh langar was started by the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak. It was designed to uphold the principle of equality between all people regardless of religion, caste, colour, creed, age, gender, or social status. In addition to the ideals of equality, the tradition of langar expresses the ethics of sharing, community, inclusiveness, and oneness of humankind.
Any good experiences/tips for buying a refurbished/cheap phone on ebay?
For refurbished phones, I'm concerned about the battery life being awful. Since most phones don't have swap-able batteries.

Sorry about picture quality, bad phone. I sanded the sharp plastic corners down too.
