I used to not vote because all politicians are evil. Someone pointed out that if everyone picks the lesser of two evils then things are going to get less evil. I’ve voted every opportunity since.

Corporations are just legal structure organizing people together to do something. The soup kitchen, local artisan, person cutting hair out of their house, they all set up an LLC to operate under. They didn’t instantly become evil.

But if I need to buy a blender, plywood, or underwear (my shopping list this weekend), I’m going to have to buy it from a corporation. If I could buy it from a less evil corp then hopefully I make things less evil.

Yeah. That’s my local grocery store. It sounds like they treat their employees well and do a lot in the community. And tortillas.

I get the boycotts for Target, Walmart, and Amazon for rolling back their DEI programs and bowing to Trump. What companies are treating employees fair or standing up for human decency? Seems like Costco gets brought up?

Most things I need I can get from my local grocery store which seems pretty non evil but where do you go if you need like a new keyboard?

How do you stay active and healthy? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

If I have an audio only call, I try to take it on a walk. Usually happens 3-4 times a week for 15-30 minutes.

Aside from that, similar to what others said. Sit/stand desk though standing all day can be just as bad as sitting for my back, so I alternate about ever 30 min. Yoga in the morning (I second Yoga with Adrienne). Social sports which for me are mountain biking and pickup ultimate. By far the most fun but harder to be consistent. Gym 2-3 times a week.

Also, I keep a paper habit tracker to try and establish new eating and health patterns.
