How does one figure out what to do, after getting out and done with high school?
Just try things. You'll figure out what you like/don't like fairly quickly and you might stumble into something you absolutely love.

Khan academy used to be great. Not sure if it still is, since I haven't used it in years.

Just didn't feel comfortable with saying it's great, what with the enshittification of everything nowadays.
But certainly worth looking into if OP wants to learn stuff online.

Also, I just remembered Open Culture exists. That place has everything...

YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective"
Anything a chiropractor can do that will actually help, a PT can do better. They'll also teach you what exercises to do to prevent needing to see them again.
A chiropractor will just tell you to come to them more often, and take more of your money over time.

The lights go out at Alex Jones’ Infowars | The longtime conspiracist host aired the last episode this week, and still owes over $1 billion to the Sandy Hook families.
14 years...that's how long it took for him to see the consequences of his actions. Unacceptable.

Texas judge grants pregnant woman permission to get an abortion despite state’s ban
Imagine having to get a judge to signoff on any other medical procedure, and it really highlights the absurdity.
...this feels a lot like the death panels a certain sect was screeching about back in 2008/2009

Texas woman leaves state to have abortion after Texas Supreme Court paused ruling that would have allowed it, her lawyers say
Reply in thread
Agreed.
I should not know her name. I should not know her intimate personal details.
She should have been able to mourn her loss in private with her loved ones. Not on the national stage as an example. She should not be at risk of prosecution because of this unfortunate situation.

The Price of this Candy Bar
Most junk food in the US has gone off the rails in terms of price. Like seriously, don't spend money on food that has zero nutritional value and is actively harmful to your health. You'll feel so much better and your bank account will be so much bigger.
I guess I have corporate America to thank for no longer buying chips, candy, or baked goods that I might've otherwise splurged on as a treat. Can't justify it with prices the way they are.

American Drivers Think Speeding Is Okay Because Everyone Else Is Doing It
In my experience, American roads are built to support much higher speeds than the speed limit is set. Going 10-20mph over the limit doesn't feel particularly unsafe on the wide, straight roads.
On the other side, it felt crazy to drive the speed limit on (for example) the narrow, windy roads in Ireland. The limit there felt like a literal maximum, whereas in the US it feels like the minimum.

I think he blew up his life to reveal something the general public probably should be aware of, but ultimately didn't care about.
Idk if it was heroic, but it certainly was interesting how he released the info slowly to get catch the government in numerous lies attempting to downplay the truth of the matter. One of the Obama administration's biggest blights.

You deserve a relationship that does not negatively impact your mental well-being.

Ah yes, Woody Allen - the paragon for appropriate relationships with women. We should certainly listen to him about what is and isn't acceptable behavior.
/s if that wasn't clear.

I got a terrible night of sleep and have an interview this afternoon. What are some things I can do to help my brain?
If all else fails, just tell the interviewers something along the lines of
"I was so excited about this opportunity that I wasn't able to sleep last night. I apologize for not being 100%."
Most people have experienced being too anxious/excited to get a good night's sleep, so if you are up front about it, they will probably be more forgiving than if you just try to power through and fail.

Why do people keep asking where I'm from?
Asking where you are from is pretty normal conversation, especially if you have a noticeable accent. Asking where your parents/grandparents/etc are from is less common. Are you by chance not-white? Sometimes these sorts of questions have a race element to them

House too hot? Energy bill already too high? This UK professor says smearing yogurt on your windows can cool your home
Ah yes, the smell of rotting dairy to keep cool.
I'd imagine using tin foil or black out curtains would be just as effective without the stench.
