If after all the research and planning you're really truly down to a coin flip. Do it. Flip the coin and give yourself a day or two to see how you feel. It's often easier to assess your true feelings after the decision is made for you.

    Make enabling changes well ahead of time to reduce anxiety so you can have managed emotions when deciding

    Where able, and to the extent matching what would be required:

    • adjust cost of living (e.g. living on your "what if" budget)
    • try out the commute
    • act like a tourist in your city
    • travel the same distance to a grocery store as you would

    You only need enough to feel you understand of the consequences of the decision. You'll make more realistic decisions and be less prone to grifters during the process.

    Remember that your subconscious brain is really good at complex decisions with multiple pros and cons. This means to make these kind of decisions talk it out, write out pros and cons or journal on it or whatever helps with conscious brain. But sleep on and rest on it. See what feels right. That's you subconscious brain doing is job.

    The first time it pops in your head, do some research.

    The second time you think about, dig deeper into the details, and learn some more.

    If the third time you think about it, everything still seems to work out, go for it.

    Yeah: There's no rush, and anybody claiming otherwise is trying to scam you. Read everything twice. Don't sign anything you don't comprehensively understand, and don't hesitate to seek an expert opinion to help you understand it.

    Based on... What exactly?

    Vinegar and bleach washes are pretty tried and tested. For a while idiots during covid weren't rinsing things off after they disinfected them, so the CDC had to revise their guidance to exclude bleach because of user error.

    Apple cider vinegar might in a high concentration and over a longer time, but im also saying 5-10 minutes. If just vinegar will attract a problematic amount of flies in your house in 5 minutes, then things like salad dressing or a jar of pickles would be impossible to have.

    I used to do this when Dem candidates were similar and it ultimately wouldn’t matter, but now, I want to primary the hell out of any non-progressive democratic candidate since they’re way too much like republicans.

    In my state for governer there is a normal human being running as a democrat. The republican primary was between three weird fuckers, one of which was at least a weird fucker who managed to follow the law, while one of them cant shut up about how he wants to do whatever trimp wants, and the other had TV ads showing him cutting up a banana and saying "This is going to happen to your son if you don't vote for me".

    Its another "both sides" argument. One side has more or less competent human beings running for office. The other side has conspiracy nutters and people who are obsessed with everyone's genitals.
